"The Last Defender of Camelot" (short stories by Roger Zelazny)

books your now reading

Dictionary ...the y's....

Books you're now reading. You are = you're. Not your. Books "you are" now reading.

Your should be used when "you are" is not appropriate. 

Your car, your house, your book.

I probably sound like a bitch right now but it bugs me to see this common mistake everywhere. Its like Lose and Loose.

How much money did you loose. No...how much money did you lose. Much better.

Sorry, I had to get that off my chest.

You can be such a jerk sometimes. Guess it's a a good thing I love ya, ain't it?

I've taken lotsa walks and gotten laid a few times in that time as well. Also cooked, eaten, shopped, worked, been on vacation, seen my son perform a few times and slept, among other things.

O, I see now! How could I have forgotten!? Ann, I don't move my lips when I read and read without a ruler under the lines I am reading.

Sorry, it didn't dawn on me why you'd find that a lot of reading!

Brb, I'll respond in more detail after I find my ruler... eeeerg I'm so elletireet I can't even spell it right.

I'm reading this book called Beastly by Alex Flinn. It's really good. it's about the modern fairy tale beauty and the beast and it's told by the beast's point of view. It's also going to be a movie real soon.

Currently the top of my reading stack is Water - Nine Stories by Alyce Miller. This is mostly because I spent a week (plus) doing virtual photography on the theme of water to enter in the H2O contest sponsored by the Koinup, The Museum of Second Life Photography, and Orange Island. Result is that I am one of the finalists in the contest.

Additionally, I am reading On Design - The Magic Language of Things by Eva Zeisel; Ajax in 10 Minutes by Phil Ballard; and Effective Java by Joshua Block.

The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper, which, if not talking a long walk, is at least reading about others taking a long walk.

Holy ->-bleeped-<-, thank you, Kat!   My sister has been trying to remember who wrote The Last of the Mohicans all day!  I'll go tell her.

I finished "Fortitude" by Hugh Walpole (1916) last night.

Now I'm on "Dune Messiah" by Frank Herbert (1969).

"Dewey" by Vicki Myron. It's the story of Dewey Readmore Books, a kitten who was dropped through the book return on the coldest night of the year, and was adopted by the women of the Spencer, Iowa public library. It's fun, I'm really enjoying reading about Dewey.

'Stone Butch Blues' by Leslie Feinberg (trying to brush up on my trans/feminist reading)
Anybody read it?

Yeah, almost a decade ago, seems dated now, I still like Rubyfruit Jungle myself.  Somehow it aged better, perhaps because its a coming of age story, which are timeless (though set in a period) and less of a day to day deal. But that's just me.

Rubyfruit jungle - is that a transgendered, gay or femininst one?
