I was completely obsessed with that book when I was 11! I think I read it 3 times in one year.

I was the same and then found a copy on Amazon a few years back, it lives at the side of my bed and gets read in passages often

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire. I was 2/3 of the way through before I realized he had named the narrator "Iris" for a reason.

Business Continuity Management - 3rd Edition.

Gotta love grad school! 

I'm always slow to starting books. But the newest one I'm reading is Cabal by: Clive Barker

the truth about forever by Sarah Dessen

I'm a voracious reader so that tends to be a bit complicated to answer. Currently reading a psychology text and Grey's Anatomy.

I have finally located a copy of Jan Morris's "Conundrum" after much searching, and will start shortly.

Man Kzin Wars XII

Girls Like Us, Rachel Lloyd

Transition, Chaz Bono

Sing You Home, Jodi Picoult

I can heartily recommend all three of these, despite not having finished the third yet.

Recently I've been plowing through all of Ngaio Marsh's books. They're fairly entertaining whodunit-type mysteries.

Enough Said.

I love books - have a number of shelves full of them. Fav. author and someone I'm nearly always reading is Terry Pratchett. I've been lucky enough to get to signings of his on two occasions. One a couple of years ago *after his alzheimer's diagnosis* and it was noticeable the change unfortunately. I also have an auto immune disease *Rheumatoid arthritis* and this curtails how much I can read these days, much to my frustration. I would often read a book pretty much cover to cover in one go, these days it can take several weeks. I have considered audio books as an alternative, but they are not easy to obtain, are often abridged and a lot more expensive to buy. I also cannot afford a kindle - which I do believe has a place - but still love my books.
Current reads have been - I shall wear midnight (T Pratchett), Slaughterhouse 5 (Kurt Vonnegut) and The killing place (Tess Gerritsen).

Back with Sammy Pepys, this year is 1663 - at the moment he is incredibly jealous of his wife and the dancing master, is checking the beds for signs of illicit hanky panky.

Currently reading a collection of lesbian short stories called Women on Women. Cried my eyes out over a story in it called "A Letter to Harvey Milk."

Just started. 'I am God' by Giorgio Faletti. So far quite scary

Stop that! We're going to make you compete in another division, Pica!

I read (a bit back) the new Jodi Picoult book, "Sing You Home".
With her huge following, I think it will go down in history as one of the more influential LGBT books.

But Sammy Pepys is so silly and fun - he's spent the last few weeks stalking his wife because he's obsessively jealous of her relationship with her dancing master.

Boeing:  The First Century

I just finished a book dealing with prostitution in my country, Finland. It was quite interesting.

Hmm well i'm waiting for The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri to arrive, though I might re read the Book thief by Markus Zusak.
