I just finished The girl with the dragon tattoo, was a very good read. Not a book I would have picked for myself. I didn't even know what it was about going into it, but I am so glad I read it. Will be picking up the two sequels for this series. I am now currently reading Twice as hot by Gene Showalter the second in this series. Fun,original, paranormal romance for a break.

I just started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I'm loving it so far. It's a lot to follow but once I got into it I really like it.

"Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects Volume 1: Birthmarks" by Ian Stevenson.

Pretty heavy stuff, I know, but its my "thing."

What did you think of it? I read it decades ago, and though it was a wonderful classic, but nobody ever talks about it.

I've started Jonathan Lethem's "The Fortress of Solitude", which is way too long, I'll never push my way through a 500-page coming-of-age book, but it's a clever and entertaining read.

Just finished Tom Clancy's "The Bear and The Dragon" and am waiting on Clancy's "Teeth of The Tiger" to come in the mail.

Oh, please tell how that one is. I'm debating whether to get it or not. I'm sure I'll probably like it but I haven't heard anyone's opinion on it yet.

My opinion of "Eat, Pray, Love"? Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

LOL, no. really. I like the "Eat" part, the "Pray" part put me to sleep and I passed it on to a friend before i got to the "Love" part.


I just read "Nose Down, Eyes Up". Cute book.

I'm now reading "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a boy soldier" by Ishmael Beah. VERY sad.
