I want to read next
Marie Antoinette : The Journey
by Antonia Fraser

Why? Because this is the book that Sophia Copola is basing her next film on. Feeling a tad bit geeky.

Would you believe I'm STILL reading On the Road? I kinda fell out of my reading groove. I'm a very streaky reader. But I seem to be back in it and should be done by week's end. Then I've got a decission to make...keep the beat going and read Howl (and possibly other entries in the beat collection loaned to me by the Guru himself), move backwards and read some Hemmingway which inspired a lot of the beat movement, go a little further back in the genesis of the beat movement and pick up some Nitzche, or shift gears completely and finally get around to reading Fourcault's Pendulum and Davinci Code which I've been meaning to and from what I hear are right up my alley. Grrrrr. I hope this current reading groove lasts long enough to get through it all.

Ooooh! I like Antonia Fraser's books. Might check this out too:)

I just ordered it and Mary Queen of Scotts.

I could be back in my French/English fictionalized history mode for a while. I used to read a lot of that type of lit.

I think she may have written one on Eleanore of Aquitaine too. I've seen it around and it looks interesting.

UGHHHHHHHH Don't tell me these things!;)

UvaGirl 03-09-2005 02:42 PM

LOL! I look forward to hearing what you think of the Marie Antoinette one:)

I just started my borrowed book " Quicksilver" which is historical fiction (one of the characters refers to New York as New Amsterdam, and the colonies still belong to Britain) which I am told is something of a challenging read- they make you remember things.

Of course this is nicely balanced by my newly-arrived "On Our Backs" (lesbian "Playboy"). Yes, I do read the articles.

I started the Illuminatus Triology - love a good conspiracy theory. I'm interested to see how this compares to Dan Browns Angels and Demons.

I'm not even going to pretend to be deep.

I'm reading this week's Entertainment Weekly! It's Gemini Cricket's Magazine Time, girls!

:D
