What are your reading these days?

Lots. I'm reviewing for a new online reviewing/editing company. I do mainly picture books and young-adult, but also nonfiction and novels. Philadelphia Chickens by Sandra Boynton is my favorite for little kids. The music's great, even for adults.

For once I am only reading one book at the moment. It's called Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder: A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery by Karyn Seroussi. The book is mostly about a mother's search for answers about her son's autism, but mainly through diet and food issues. It's very interesting!

Right now it is the Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer.

"Birdsong" by Sebastian Faulks for school, "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley for pleasure. I also just finished "Stupid White Men" by Michael Moore, which is fab.

Right now I'm reading the book "Almost Adam" by Petru Popescu. It's a bout an archaeologist in the African savanna who discovers two living tribes of protohumans, the Australopithecus Robustus and the slightly more advanced and graceful Australopithecus Gracilus and the battle between this
archeologist, who wants to keep these tribes secret, and some pretty creepy modern humans
who want to exploit and interbreed the tribes to create a new species of human.

I am at the very end of Scott Turow's Reversible Errors. It is on my desk staring at me, begging me to finish it. I may slip into the bathroom and blast through these last two chapters. Up next? Pat
Conroy's My Losing Season.

*snort* Okay, theoretically, if I had a chance to read, I would be focusing primarily on Anne of Avonlea by L.M. Montgomery (I'm rereading the Anne books), The Dinosaur Heresies by Robert Bakker, and the magazine my husband wants me to read that tells all about up-and-coming diesel vehicles. But as always, I have bookmarks in a million things.

E-mail: It's the only thing I have time for. Sometimes, I read daily scriptures and/or the Bible.

During the long evenings of winter, I find rereading comforting. I've been visiting some of the more elaborate sub-universes in fantasy. Also, now that Peter Ackroyd's LONDON: The Biography is off the "new books" list at the library, I'm ambling lazily through 3000 years and 800 pages.

Nothing. I don't have time to read these days. I bought John Grisham's latest book about a month ago but I only had time to read the first chapter and nothing since. I did read Adventure Magazine last night. Does that count?

Well, I haven't been completely faithful to it but I've been flipping through "Longitudes and Attitudes" by Thomas L. Friedman. Pretty good read but my mind is just focused elsewhere at this time.

All I read these days is 100,000 pages of data entry. ugh!

Stephanie, 25

Oh, gosh, let me think...
1. I am half-way through the History of Classical Warfare...(totally reeks of awesomeness)
2. I am almost half-way through essays of Emerson...
3. I am reading a science fiction book...forget the title...
4. . I have started reading The Rennaisance...by that hep cat Will Durant...what a cool dude...one of my Grandmothers books...if nothing else, it can be used as a weapon

Directions for a program that doesn't appear to be done yet.

Alias Irrelevante

For school Immanuel Kant and Martin Luther King Jr.The last that I read on my own was Roddy Doyle, who is an absolutely hilarious author.

I just finished a few books by Janet Evanovich -- formula mystery novels that always make me laugh out loud. If you like the genre, I highly recommend them. Sigh. Today was the first day of classes. I'm back to reading textbooks.

Empire Falls, by Russo, and Home Town, by Kidder, for my book group. An assortment of mysteries. Miles, Mystery and Mayhem by Lois Bujold. Love Among the Ruins. I'm about to start a Sidney Sheldon on CD in my car.

Mostly People magazine. I work on a computer all day doing graphics arts and lately I have been working day and a side job at night so I have no time to read and I can't see to read a book, So it's People magazine on the way home on the train. Short no brainer articles and lots of pictures.

Skeleton Canyon by J A Jance, recommended by a great online friend.

About a billion things. I have two classes where I have to read a novel a week. Combined with the readings for my other classes, I'm up around 900 pages a week of assigned readings. I just finished Catcher in the Rye (for the hundredth time -- so good), and Their Eyes Were Watching God (highly
recommended). I'm in the middle of a book called Passing and just beginning Slaughterhouse Five. In my spare time (haha), I've been reading forensic books. I find the make-up human body amazing and how it holds/reveals clues, fascinating.
