Reading Tab

I just re-read Memoirs Of A Geisha. I really like this book. I've always been fascinated with asian culture. If your'e into this sort of thing, it's a great read.

I just started Wicked. I'll let you know how I like it!

I absolutley loved Wicked. I just wish I lived close enough to see it on the stage.

I finished Is Belief in God Good, Bad or Irrelevant?: A Professor And a Punk Rocker Discuss Science, Religion, Naturalism & Christianity yesterday afternoon. Man that book title is a mouthful.

I just started this one today.

For school I am reading:
Criminal Behavior- Bartol & Bartol



Statistics for the Behavioral and Social Sciences



Personality Psychology (Domains of Knowledge about Human Nature) - Larsen and Buss

There is some HEAVY reading going on here.

I am just reading the one book at the moment. Phillip Pullman's second book in the His Dark Materials trilogy, The Subtle Knife.

I am ABSOLOUTLY addicted. I love Pullman's writing style, he is a perfect story teller. The characters and the worlds he creates are just excellent as well. The first book blew me away and i started this one immediatly and i can't put it down. I cannot WAIT to see Nicole Kidman as the eeeeevil Mrs Coulter when The Golden Compass hits our screens this Christmas. I really hope its done well.

i tried to read northern lights and just couldnt get into it, might try again

Sophocles compilation

I finally found a copy of it so I'm putting Freethinkers to the side for the moment.

Not too many. I read a universal history of iniquity and la confidential a while ago, and have been keeping up with articles and short stories, but otherwise my reading has been slow lately. Hopefully I'll finish something I've been working on for a while and have more time to read again soon.

I'm splitting my reading time among Lisey's Story (Stephen King) and Colour of Magic (Pratchett) and the book of Job in the Bible.

oh yeah, i should also say the authors for those books i read are jorge luis borges (universal history of iniquity) and james ellroy (la confidential).

Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx. I'd say the film is better than the book in this case.

I've added THE DANTE CLUB to my list of books-in-progress. So far, so good, about 10 pages in.

Salvatore ~ The Lone Drow

One River: Explorations and Discoveries in the Amazon Rain Forest
By, Wade Davis



So far this book has been awesome. I actually look forward to reading it whenever I get a chance to.

"Wade Davis has written a lyrical, meticulously researched book of discovery. One River is both a biography of his mentor, the director of the Harvard botanical museum Richard Schultes, and the story of his own botanical adventures throughout South America with colleague Tim Plowman. It's a sprawling tale of explorers, botanical secrets, and larger-than-life personalities. This unconventional book is, in part, a testimonial to Schultes, a legendary teacher and explorer who single-handedly created the discipline of ethnobotany. More than that, it's a magnificently written chronicle of five decades of botanical exploration (including some pretty wild experiments with native hallucinogens)." - (www.logitudebooks.com)

This is probably taking me the most energy to read. I am no stranger to history books, but my grasp on Ancient time lines and Biblical archeaology is a little bit weak. Totally fascinating though. Right now I am in Roman Times.



I read The Scarlet Pimpernel last week and I am in the process of writing a little something on both books.

I remember reading for school. All I read now is fiction. Not bad fiction but fiction. I would be interested in reading your reviews glittergirl.
