All of his stuff is really good.

Night Work, by Laurie R. King - 4th in the Kate Martinelli series.  Kate is a lesbian cop in
San Francisco, but her sexual orientation is just one of many aspects of the book and is
not exploited.

I just got 1Q84 yesterday!!!  I've only read one chapter (damn you, graduate school!  ), but I've been looking forward to it for so long!!!!  Haruki Murakami is a genius.

The Help - consuming and beautiful.

I'm reading a local history book, a tree-identification guide, and a book about radical sex by Pat Califia.

When I read fiction I stick to one book at a time.

Patterson's Field Guide to Trees of Western North America (I think I remembered that right, it's been a while)?

edit: I saw tree guide and didn't even register the radical sex thing, /nerd

Finished my last novel and now I'm reading Developmental Biology by Scott F. Gilbert and a tonne of peer review papers. Oh the joys of college literature reviews 😛

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy by John le Carré. I'm looking forward to the movie and I like to read the book first.

After that, Othello, then The Tempest...I'm a big shakespeare nerd.  😀

The Tempest was by far my favorite of old mister Bard's work. In fact, it inspired me to go out and pick up a copy of Shakespeare's Words.

The Help - consuming and beautiful.

It totally was. I LOVED it! I never became so emotional over a book.

No I haven't heard of them!

I got really stressed out last night. I finally got up and dug through my daughter's bookshelf, looking for something totally simple, non-threatening, non-serious, and hopefully happy. I decided on Mr. Popper's Penguins. It's really silly and pointless.

🙂 Cindy, There are now eleven novels in this series.  Mary Russell, at age 15, meets her Sussex
neighbor, the retired S. Holmes, who takes her on as an apprentice and later an associate.  To me,
Laurie R. King's Holmes, and the details about him, are very believable.  But now the reader sees
him through the eyes of a woman, the first-person narrator, Mary Russell.  I'm now reading the
fourth novel and still going strong!

Cheers,

Sandra
