About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Book Club? Now you've got me excited! It just so happens that I'll probably be in town that evening with eldest son. Is there an age stipulation? I need a reason to force him to read (evil grin). And I have fond memories of Dandelion Wine from when I was a kid.
Please join us! You and D are both welcome. I thought you might like this new bookstep twist.
I *finally* started really reading Chances Are (the probability book.) So far, I'm not impressed. It's really wordy and doesn't really have enough actual number puzzles or explanations of some of the probabilities they mention. But I've only read the first chapter; maybe it'll get better. If it doesn't, I might actually give up on it, like I have with a couple of other "recreational math" books. *gasp!*

In addition to eagerly starting to work my way through "Dandelion Wine" (Come join in, all are welcome), I am reading "Secret Ingredients", a collection of articles on food and drink from the New Yorker.
I started and finished Ursula K. LeGuin's book The Tombs of Atuan (for the public library book discussion) while watching my students take finals. It was excellent, and I'm looking forward to the rest of her Earthsea series.
Have read up through volume 2 of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. Love. Love love love love love. Waiting for volume 5 of Fables to be returned and I'm going nuts to find out what happens. Also waiting for book 3 of Dresden Files, although that may be back by now.
Yay, graphic novels are awesome!
I'm on Shadow of the Giant by Orson Scott Card. Loving this series.
Just finished the 3rd book in a series by Rob Thurman called Madhouse, which was a very fun book!
