Just started David Wroblewski's "Edgar Sawtelle". Not really expecting all that much, but so far, he is at least literate and seems to be a competent novelist. His first novel, and I know nothing about him, except that I might have played high school ball against his dad.
I'm reading This Did Not Happen by Lee W. Dodson. This book reminds me a lot of Tony Hillerman's works. It is set on the Navajo reservation and I am very interested in that culture.

I have this and keep looking at it, but always pick a different book to read. I don't know why, I 've heard it's good. Reading about dogs just doesn't interest me. Of course I felt that way about Cujo too before I read it, and it ended up being one of my favorite books.
I made it as far as the early into the second chapter and just don't have a burning desire to understand the inner workings of the unbridled passions of a person with Tourette's.
Oddly, I found this on my Zune and am listening to it as I stitch my crazy quilt block for this month. I didn't like reading it, but I am enjoying listening to it being read to me. How weird is that?
Bought this for my Kindle reader...at a very good price, too: The First Rule of Ten: A Tenzing Norbu Mystery. There are also other books in this series by Gay Hendricks and Tinker Lindsay. It was slow getting off the ground, but now I can't put it down!
I've been reading snippets of Neil Shubin's "The Universe Within" as I go about my day. I was intrigued with it the first day, but each passing day the titillation of peeking into the minds of great discoverers has been replaced with greater quantities of wonder. I had a smattering of this information before, but Neil puts all the disparate facts together. He weaves the evolution of astronomy, geology, chemistry, physics, physiology, and more until one has the story of the universe's evolution that is still evolving today. Admittedly, his reader would have to have some interest in the natural world to appreciate his work, and it isn't a "can't put it down" read, but for me (at least) it has opened my eyes to an even greater appreciation of this world we live in, and our place in it.
Man, every time I visit this thread my book lists get longer! I'm almost finished with A Model Summer by Paulina Porizkova. It's always interesting to read fiction (and part expose) from someone I didn't consider a writer. I mean, I know Paulina from America's Next Top Model. It's a pretty quick read. A nice glimpse into the modelling world, and fairly gritty.
I read Exes and Ohs by Beth Kendrick. I liked it better than Thin, Rich and Pretty. It was a little less predictable, I liked the characters more.
I'm not sure what's up next. After seeing mentions of 'Guns, Germs and Steel,' 'The Coming Plague' and Richard Preston books, I'm kinda tempted to reread some of those.

I have paintings of kokopelli all over the house.
My bad. The title of the book is This Never Happened. I finished it this morning. The editing is not very good but this is a first time author with a kindle book. I really enjoyed it and just ignored the typos. He writes with a lot of heart and that is the way I read it.
