Yuu see, Chris has this lovely reading voice and it just lulls me to sleep every time - which is perfect for bedtime stories, but not perfect for realy knovels with plots twists and other type thing. I never did read it on my own. But I did read another book about Lord Byron that made me cringe with vivid discriptions about his diseased member.

100 pages shy of being done with Life of Pi. Book club is tonight.

Must go read.....I suck at this.

When I'm done with this book....I'm going to finish The Vicious Circle....I love this book! It's a simple read, and humorous, although some of her antecdotes suck in quality and bite.

I've managed to come this far without knowing that Bryon HAD a diseased member.

There you go, NA, breaking my heart.

LMFAO.

I finished Life of Pi today....wowza!!! M. Night Shyamalamadingdong or whatever his name is bought the rights to the book and I can see why. Quite a twist! Loved it!!

Went from boring to veeeery interesting in a flash!

Our next book club book is Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis.

I checked out Meritocracy, Love in the Time of Cholera, and Chelsea Girls.

I have the Barack Obama book on hold at the library, as well as two of the Dan Brown books for my husband...I'll probably read them, too. Love a good easy formula.

I like Pi

Not Afraid · 02-24-2005, 08:08 PM

Too bad there isn't a book called Like PiCakes

I just finished reading The Beach. I bought it after seeing the movie a few too many times. Very trippy reading.

I am also looking forward to finally reading the DaVinci Code. I really enjoyed Angles & Demons. I have Thursday off, so it is book shopping time!

I read Deception Point by Dan Brown last week (I liked it), and I'm half-way through Love in the Time of Cholera (gorgeous) and before bed every night I've been reading Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken. Dude cracks me up.

I'm almost done.

Next up: the Barack Obama one, Chelsea Girls, finish Valley of the Dolls, finish Mrs. Dalloway.....probably re-read Da Vinci since it's here in the house.

I'm finishing up the March issue of In Style at the moment - man, it's big!

After that I'm going to make a start on The Queen's Fool, by Philippa Gregory. I maxed out on historical romances last year <gasp!> and never got into this one. Time to try again I think.
