For me right now its school books.

Accounts of the Native Americans, mini-biographies of Italian Renaissance artists, costuming, and Analyzing plays

I'm still reading A Tale of Two Cities. Very slowly. And also The World of the Cell and Molecular Genetics (for fun, and even slower).

In other news,
I can't find my copy of Lord of the Rings! I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it!
(but a pertinent question might be, "Iris, how do you lose a 1,000-page book?!")

I am reading "Year of Wonders" by Geraldine Brooks. It is about a village affected by the plague in the seventeenth century. Once again, the topic is fascinating, but she's managed to turn it into a romance novel.....love among the ashes, I guess.

I think A Tale of Two Citiestook me about six months to read. I didn't start to get into it until the last 100 pages or so.

Yea, I know the feeling! I am now reading for this semester's grad classes. They are getting harder. I will have to put the fiction book (Charming Billy) away, again. I have enough to read for now.

Interesting! Is the Accounts of Native Americans, for an Anthropology class? I majored in Sociology/Anthropology, so I am always interested in these books.

It's for my Americna Humanities class, pretty interesting stuff.

We had to read Tale of Two Cities my senior year in high school, I think I actually read like the first 2 chapters and got bored. I did well on the test though cause she explained every day in class what we were reading about.

Cool, I would have enjoyed a class in their history, but never got around to it. There was this anthro/women's studies class on Native American Females, but by the time it was starting, I was graduating.
Have fun with Humanities. I did love that class...my professor was really into artsy films and would usually present all areas lectured using films. Some were rather weird, but others were truly right for the subject being taught.

Sounds like a fun class!

Im reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

I'm currently reading this web site!
I finally got a copy of Man In The Iron Mask to read, and will be starting it tonight.

I just finished Chuck Barris's "autobiography." I'm years behind on that one, I know.

It's really great, though.

I'm reading "Arabella, The Forgotten Princess." It's about Arabella Stuart, a relative of Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth Tudor and is a biography, based on her letters. It's really interesting, and shows that it was not good to be a relative of royalty, with a potential claim to the throne in England during the middle ages.

That's a great book! I bought it for all the women in my family.

"Competitive Strategy" by Michael Porter

Heehee! Actually it's a good book.

"Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature" by Matt Ridley. I HEART Matt Ridley...he's very funny and he makes science readable.
