Purrs to you
Inge and the catgang

I'm reading through those now, too! They're so fun. The first couple
were just "okay," but then they got good. I don't know if that's
because Mr. Pratchett hit his stride or because I got used to the
shape of the stories.

Just finished Manda Scott's series on the Boudica. Sad to reach the end
of the series, but she says on her web page that she is going to keep
writing about that era, so I'm looking forward to more.
Other books in progress:
Hanif Kureishi: My ear at his heart
Colin McInnes: The London novels
British Short Stories ed. Malcolm Bradbury (ran out of books, so pulled
an old anthology off the shelf. Must go to bookstore soon)

Joel: "A Storm of Swords: A Song of Fire & Ice" (Book 3 in the series of
'The Game of Thrones') by George R. R. Martin. Joel would like people to
know hw rarely reads fantasy, but this one has him hooked from the first
book I woke up at about 5am a week ago, to discover the lounge light was
still on. I got up to turn it off, only to hear Joel shout 'Oy'. He had
started reading at 10pm after Cary went to bed, and was still going. Once I
pointed out the time to him he said "oops, I thought it wa sonly midnight or
so. I haven't been able to put this down!". Joel tends to prefer military
sci-fi.
Vicky: House Corrino (Book 3 of the 'Prelude to Dune' series). Although
there's a stack of books on my 'to read' list.... I don't seem to get
through as many now that Cary is here.
Cary: Read? Doens't that involve sitting still? No thanks!!!! (although he
will occasionally be tempted into looking at "Pooh's Sunny Day songs" which
Julie & Rusty gave him while they were here)

"Please Stop Laughing at Me" by Jodee Blanco

This is an intriguing title. What is it about?
-L....

It's a true account, first-person narrative about a girl in highschool
who was bullied by her peers. The voice is somewhat simplistic, and so
far it is a quick read, but it's been interesting, to some extent. I'm
only about 1/3 the way through it. Here's a link:
I only read non-fiction (with a nod to Frey who is just a liar...) If
anyone wants recs on good non-fiction, especially true accounts and
memoirs, let me know!
Worst books I have read this year : The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk
Kidd (fiction) and Stick Figure by Lori Gottleib (I suspect another
liar...)

"Lobster Chronicles by Linda Greenlaw"
"A Million Little Pieces by James Frey"
I got the last two from an online book club I belong to -
