I am reading Horse Soliders. I have really been on a fiction kick lately, but my father in law went out of his way to mail this one to me. I feel obliged to get through it by this weekend. It's got good reviews, I have just been "military-historied out" the last couple of years.

I've just started Dreamcatcher (Stephen King). I hope I will not stop in the middle.

Our small Book Club has chosen Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for this coming month, and George Eliot's Middlemarch for April.

In the meanwhile, I have a couple of books going, including The Rug Merchant by Meg Collins, and I just picked up a copy of King's Under the Dome.

I am reading a book on the life of Keith Moon, the deceased drummer for the Who. It is a wonderful read and I would recommend it to anyone, whether a fan of the Who or not. Written by Tony Fletcher

I finished The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy this weekend. A fabulous book and I shed a few tears on my way through it.

Yesterday I picked up The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and it is a little confusing/hard getting into it.

I'm currently reading The Pirate Hunter by Richard Zacks which is the true story of William Kidd.

I can't wait to get through that one so I can tear into Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I know I'm late on the draw on that one, but I just came across a copy at a secondhand store and had to get it.

In the meantime...I dance occasionally with Anne Sexton's Selected Poems and e.e. cummings Selected Poems. Yes. I'm on a book binge.
