Mystic River by Dennis Lehane. Have quite a hard time reading it.
Also reading The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. Very gripping right from the start although it takes a few pages getting into this new fantasy which is a little like LOTR. A real page turner so far.

I just started The Postmistress. It has gotten rather mixed reviews so I will be interested to see if I like it.
Just finished Pillars of the Earth for the second time. I love that book.

I finished Dead in the Family last night, the newest installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. It was very disappointing and read like a rough draft. Hope the next one is better.
Now I'm back to The Book Thief.

I'm reading I,Sniper by Stephen Hunter. It's the latest in a series featuring Bob Lee Swagger, a former Marine sniper. It is taking me a while to get into it, but it's starting to pick up.

To any woman out there who has ever come home from the hospital with a bag of pee strapped to your leg (you know who you are - it's a very special little club we belong to) buy this book. If you are too cheap to buy this book or this rotten economy has left you as strapped as the rest of us, go to Barnes and Noble or your local library and pick up this book. Start reading at page seven. Warning: Do not do this while sipping your latte because it's all going to fly right out of your nose.
You are welcome. Enjoy the rest of your day! Me? I have a new favorite author.

I'm reading THE HEART SHAPED BOX by Joe Hill, Stephen Kings' son. I don't usually read books about ghosts, but so many people recommended it, I finally decided to read it. It is great. I'm so glad I picked it up.
