Have you read Mirror Mirror? I bought that at one time and it's been taking up space at the bedside for ever, but I can't bring myself to read it for some reason. (Murakami)

Yup, read the almost whole "fairytale" series - Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Lost, Mirror Mirror... but now I see I missed Dream Stealer - and it's a Baba Yaga-esque tale. How could I have missed that?

It took me ages to drag myself through that book. I really wanted to like it but I just couldn't. I thought it ended up making magic boring.

Finishing (again!) The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, and have started on Maxine Hong Kingston's Woman Warrior


Have read a lot of interesting books for my ethnic lit class, some of them I have already read, so many of which are just breaking my heart repeatedly. Who'd 'a thunk a fluffy little class would be making me think so much?

I'm reading this. I know you are all jealous.

Been there, done that. :)

I have the access bible and also access programming for dummies if you would like to borrow either.

I used to have those. I hate those books.

I may take you up on that. Work will buy us the books we need, and I try to pick the least painful reads.

Perhaps I am a neanderthal, but ever since college I have lost any enjoyment for reading books. Fiction, non fiction, whatever. Can't do it anymore. I'd rather do most anything than read a book.

I read articles, certain magazines, columns, internet bulletin board threads that interest me.....but if I can't finish the whole thing in one setting, then it isn't for me.

Plus my wife says I'm ADD, so perhaps that's why, too.

It all becomes clear now.
