I just finished Chad Harbach's book "The Art of Fielding." I rarely enjoy fiction, but this was PERFECT! Totally awesome, and I don't even like baseball. I'm also struggling through the second book in George R.R. Martin's "Song of Fire and Ice" (Game of Thrones) series.

Glad to see some some of the younger ones enjoy reading.

Let's see...recently, I finished In the Woods - a mystery, a genre of which I'm not particularly fond. But this was a compelling read, with really lush prose. I also finished Escape From Camp 14, an account of a man who escaped from the harshest of North Korea's prison camps. It is quite disturbing in parts, but I couldn't put it down.

I read Silver Linings Playbook last night. It was a good read, but I have to say I enjoyed the movie more.

But the opulence is rather enticing.

Reading things in class can ruin a lot of great books unfortunately. I'm looking forward to and dreading the movie at the same time.

The third book is a lot more exciting than the second book FWIW.

Exquisite Desire by Carey Walsh (have just previously read: Chasing Mystery by Carey Walsh).

Good to know, I will persevere!

Detroit City Is the Place to Be: The Afterlife of an American Metropolis

A great book, so far. I'm rooting for Detroit. It could definitely be a great city again.

Just took a break from "Belinda" by Anne Rice and picked up one of my newer favorite authors - Michael Palmer. He does medical thrillers - if I wasn't a choir director, I'd be a doctor. The book is called "A Heartbeat Away".

Awaiting me is a Daniel Silva book - haven't read him, but it looks intriguing!!

I'm fixing to reread Sammy Hagar's autobiography. By next week, I hope that the library will have the 2 books I ordered.

I'm currently reading a book by a Peruvian writer named Mario Vargas Llosa called "Conversation in the Cathedral." It's a little confusing but in my opinion it's very good!

I've just finished Cyndi Lauper's biography. I love her so much

online there was a link to the original manuscript of Sammy's autobiography, and it was not the same one that was released - the original I read online was so open on issues within the Van Halen camp that those issues mentioned had to be removed or face libel suits over what was stated inside.

Just finished "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe" by Donald Wolfe (I have a new respect for Ms.Monroe now, she was not a 'blonde bimbo' at all - but someone who wanted to be taken serious when the rest of the world saw her as only a "sex symbol/sex toy")

Plan to start on the following books:

"Let's Roll! Ordinary People, Extraordinary Courage" by Lisa Beamer
"The Death of a President - November 1963" by William Manchester

Man, I wish I could read that one. Why do people not want us to know what really happened?

. We deserve the truth!
