What swanky things are you reading?

This Library Vixen would officially like to start the first "Reading" thread.

This is way past Christmas, but I am reading "The Stupidest Angel" by Christopher Moore (my request FINALLY came!!). This book is hilarious so far. I'm excited to see what happens next!

What you guys reading?

The Inner Circle by T.C. Boyle - a fictional account from the perspective of someone inside Kinsey's Inner Circle. An awsome read, especially after seeing Kinsey, the movie.

What swanky things am I reading? Why, these boards, of course. What could be more swanky than that?

I'm still on Harry Potter 5. Love it so far. It's infuriating yet fun.

I started rereading Huckleberry Finn last night. Bring me the classics and a cocktail!

I know. I know. Not swanky. Square City.

Not square at all, in my opinion. It's a tremendous book. I re-read it often. It's the most, I tell you.

I just bought 'The Intimate World of Abraham Lincoln'. I saw a news story on it and was curious.

Just finished G.L.'s Phantom of the Opera. A master of gothic horror, this novel. I just *love* it. Plus, such a human story, after all is said and done.

Almost finished with a retelling of that story by Susan Kay called Phantom.

And also near the end of Book the 11th of the Lemony Snicket books, which have really, really grown on me.

I read Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons on vacation. Also, Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons. Neither was great, and neither was a waste of time.

Up next: something by Kent Haruf. Can't remember the title, and it's upstairs. I loved Plainsong, so hopefully this is stylistically similar.
