Nice! How is it? I am still plodding through The Witching Hour by Ann Rice in my homage to NOLA. Ironically the creepiest, darkest part of the book was the part I got to on Halloween! When I'm done (I'm on page 650 of about 1000) I'm going to read the Tori Amos bio. Then Al's book, most likely! That or Mary Leader's Triad since I just got a used copy of that through Amazon.

Musarion by Christoph Martin Wieland. Don't feel bad if you've never heard of it.

You didn't? That's one of my favorite books. Though I hated it initially when forced to read it in school because of "The Custom House."

It's really funny, I like it. I'm only about 50 pages into it, though.

In the last two days I read The Committment by Dan Savage. It was amusing, but not as funny as his others. It also made me think a lot about my opinions on gay marriage. Thought provoking.

I'm on my third reading of "Dress Yourself in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris. Except I'm skipping the chapter named "Hejira" this time - it hits a little close to home and makes me cry.

I'm also on the hunt for Margaret Cho's new one. And since Suze's post, and the fact that I just read that Anne Rice is now gonna write "only for God" and ditch her spooky themes, I might have to revisit the witch series. "The Witching Hour" was good, but "Lasher" ... (shudder, goose pimples).

I bought it and it's really great. You'll be surprised at how ferocious it actually is.
