Oh, I'm always reading, and probably listening to music while doing so, but I'm just very snobby and picky. I actually like a lot of the Oprah picks.

well, she picks good ones. I like those books too. I love when she has Toni Morrison on - I love her books and that woman is radiant with intelligence and class. Oprah, i could do without!

I like Morrison, too. I also like Jane Hamilton, Wally Lamb (Shes Come Undone is fabulous), Jane Smiley, Michael Cunnigham, and Sue Miller. Once Were Warriors by Alan Duff is phenomenal, too.

Out of those, i think I've only read Wally Lamb and ...maybe Sue Miller. Is Once Were Warriors the one the movie was made of? I like depressing books, but not as much as non depressing books...thus, mystery and fantasy...

Was Cunningham the author of The Hours? Great book. Can't think of the Sue Miller book I read....something about a woman pondering an affair. Of course, that could mean any number of books.

Yup. LOVED The Hours.

The one you're thinking of by Miller is While I Was Gone.

That was the one. I finished The Hours in less than a day. I couldn't put it down. Brilliant.
