I have just picked up yet another old one that I haven't read in 15 or 18 years, maybe more. "It" by Stephen King.

"Seven Plays" by Sam Shepard. For those who don't know he is also the actor who played Chuck Yeager in the movie "The Right Stuff" but he
was an acomplished playwrite long before he was in movies.

It's adorable. The premise is that the Brothers Grimm were telling the true life tales of the "Ever Afters", and became involved in all their lives. Their descendants have continued this, taking on a role as problem solvers and detectives. After their parents mysteriously vanish, the two Grimm sisters find out their real family history and get involved in solving mysteries for the fairy tale world.

I am attempting to read to many books for my course, I have 7 books that I still need to take notes on but they are all overdue from my uni library, i smell library fines!
For pleasure I am (slowly) making my way through the terry pratchetts discworld series again. I think they are hilarious.

yeh. I love all aspects of disc world. I recently had a laughter outburst when on a packed train on the way to uni - was a tad embarrasing. I love the teenage discworld books as well like wintersmith. I find the wee blue men in that hilarious, i think they are based on scottish clansmen, so funny! I tried reading time travellers wife but gave up and just went to see the movie instead. The mechanics of the story really confused me!

I found free audio books on the internet and am currently listening to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. His story comes off in good shape on audio books.

I read "Going Rogue" by Sarah Palin. I really loved the book. I like Sarah Palin and what the media has done to her is a crime. If you don't like Sarah, just read her book. It tells what the media won't.

I'm reading the novella "Of Love and Other Demons". It's Garbriel Garcia Marquez, so even in translation you feel like you could sing the entire book the language is all so lyrical.
Side note: I wanted to pass along the news that my husband gave me that Amazon's Kindle program is now available for free download to your computer. You can purchase any of their books and read them with it, and they have many classics available for free.

I have been reading a series of books called The Elm Creek Quilt Novels. I am just finishing The Christmas Quilt. I think it is about 10th in the series. You don't have to love quilts to enjoy the books. They are very historical and show the importance of quilts in our countys history. Did you know some were made as disquised maps during the Civil War? They played a big part in the underground railroad. I love quilts and have several made by my Mom. I even have some crazy quilt blocks my great-grandmother made. Quilts can tell a family story. I love them.
