I haven't been on for a while. But I did finish reading the last book of "in the garden" series and love it. I wish she would do a summary of the series so we can know how they turned out in the future. You know. sad*

I finished The Wapshot Chronicle by Cheever last night. I picked up Scoop by Evelyn Waugh last night and read it for the first time in at least ten years. I had forgotten what an hysterical book it is.

I read Blindness by Jose Saramago over the weekend.

I ready The Alchemist by Paolo Coehlo yesterday.

I am starting A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hossien today.

I read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" over the summer. Great book! Better than "Kite Runner" I thought.

I just picked this book up at the library. I loved the Kite Runner, so I'm looking forward to this one.

"Self-Made Man" by Norah Vincent. She went incognito as a man on a long assignment, had a cold reality check from what she learned from both sexes, and her chronicles are very interesting. I do recommend it.

I just finished reading "Love in the time of cholera" by Gabriel García Márquez, it is beautiful, one of the best I have read. Now I'm starting "The Cleft" by Doris Lessing, it seems good.

Currently reading "A Friend Like Henry" which is about a boy with autism whose parents got him a golden retriever who brought him out of his shell. Very good book.

I couldn't go on with "My Name is Red" It is an excellent literary work, but it just seemed like too much work, and I never felt drawn back to it.

So now I am reading Richard Rayner's "The Cloud Sketcher"

Now that I've finished "The Time Travelers Wife" I have to thank all of you who have recommended it.
It's a great work and every page was a pleasure!

I just started to re-read "Anna" by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. It's the first part of a trilgoy playing in the 1800s. It's historical about Russia with a little bit of family affairs and a little bit of love.
