I'm reading The Dance of Time: the Origins of the Calendar by Michael Judge. It is nonfiction and is so far very interesting. If I don't finish it before Vanishing Acts comes in at the library though I'll probably set it aside for that. I just finished The Same Sweet Girls by Cassandra King. It was excellent. I cried and cried at the end.
I'll be starting a non-fic tonight - Patriot Reign, a book about Bill Belichick and the NE Patriots. I'm also still reading the fifth Harry Potter book alout to DS and DH in the evenings. We're more than halfway through, though. After Patriot Reign, I'm going to pick some of the recommendations I got for Irish/Scottish books and read some of them.
I am rereading a memoir by Nina Markovna, & her life throught Stalin's Russia & WWII - I saw it up on my shelf & I read it quite a few years ago, so I'm giving it a 2nd read through
Finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Book 1 of 5 in the "Trilogy in five parts") earlier this week. Now, I'm almost finished The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. It's very good, but it took awhile to get into.
Next, I think I'll start The Restaruant at the End of the Universe (Hitchhiker's Guide Book 2)...and The Magnificent Ambersons by Booth Tarkington (won the Pulitzer Prize in 1918).
I'm reading Highland Fling by Katie Fforde right now along with tanya Tucker's biography Nickel Dreams. I just stopped by the library last night and picked up Dating Dead Men and Jimmy Buffet's A Salty Piece of Land. Where I'm going to find time for all of them???? not really sure. maybe I'll put off the house cleaning today and just read ..read.. read
I saw the movie (50's?) and I also saw the A&E re-make, both very good movies. But, I realized it was a book when surfing the Pulitzer Prize website...the title rang a bell and I looked it up on Amazon. And actually, The Magnificant Ambersons won the prize in 1919...I think I said it was 1918 in my previous post...oops!

Hi Kris,
Eliz. Noble's "The Reading Club"...tell us more about that, if you will!
I also enjoy Joanna Trollope's contemporary women's fiction.
Hi Kris,
I had the exact same experience with Nancy Thayer that you did!
