If I knew German, I'd get a bit more out of these Huss Flatride service manuals...

I like reading technical manuals, does that count as some sort of sickness?

I've been in reading deprivation this week, so right now I'm catching up on LoT, but there's a Granta by the bed with the "Best Young American Novelists" - the few contributions already are making it to Amazon.com wish lists.

I'm in the middle of Cloud Atlas and LOVING it. I can't wait to get back to it.

Just finished Veil of Roses. OMG I actually CRIED! I almost never cry while reading, but it turned out to be a little more than a story about an Iranian woman adjusting to American life and trying to find a husband so she can stay... it was also a (clean) romance.

I feel compelled to loan this one out, if anyone's interested.

My favorite book is Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I haven't been able to go back to it since I first read it, but the laughter--and the pain-- I experienced was significant.

Currently I'm reading American Sphinx, about the true nature of Thomas Jefferson. But I have to get back into the swing of it-- my reading deprivation pulled me out and I'll need to snuggle up with it again.

Ooh, ooh, Time Traveler's Wife is another I'd recommend.

I've read: Stardust, four or five Robert Parker crime novels, Stephen King's Blaze, reread SK's Hearts in Atlantis, and currently reading Tim Lebbon's Everlasting.

I'd consider myself an avid ravenous reader that can't get enough books.
