I haven't had time to read much of anything other than Dr. Seuss for a few months now! My schedule has gotten a teeny bit less hectic lately though, so I bought a couple new books!

Right now, I'm reading Tales From Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett.

im reading

I've been reading Stephen King and Peter Straub's "Black House" for about a week.

Its a really good book in my eyes, and its pretty much about this serial killer abudting kids and murdering them in a smalltown in Western Wisconson.

I would say more, but don't want to give out any story other than the plot on the back of the book.

It's a good read (as is The Talisman by Stephen King).

Pick it up, its worth it.

Stephen King is by far the best writer...IMO.

So who picked up new books for the holidays?

I got three:

Dreams from my Father, by Barack Obama
Reading ****** in Tehran, by Azar Nafisi
Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow

I've finished the first two, but will probably hold off on the third for a while.

Plus, I just ordered these two:

The United States of Europe, by TR Reid
A Continent for the Taking: The Tragedy and Hope of Africa, by Howard French

Books, books, books...

I just finished reading Oedipus Rex. Im rereading Tartuffe now, which I have to critique Monday, so if anyone has any comments reguarding the story please let me know. I could really benifit from other opinions, and in my free time im reading Ladies and Gentleman.... Lenny Bruce. Ive only just begun the last so I have no real opinion on it though I really dig the blunt style the author uses in his writing.
