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.

Just finished "Realityland" (about Walt Disney World) and it wasn't half bad. Am now simul-reading "Mean and Lowly Creatures" (about collecting snakes and frogs in Africa) and "The Graveyard Book" (Neil Gaiman's Newberry-winning kid's book. And liking both so far. What HAS become of me?
Also am about to give a first listen to the new U2 CD. Will report on it's (hopefully) awesomeness soon.
A post! I was getting so tired of my own voice.
"Mean and Lowly Creatures" - excellent title.
After the Carthusian book and Verne, I am hoping to read Darwin's "The Voyage of the Beagle" - my father tells me it's an excellent read, full of travel and science. Anyone read it? Interested?
Sophia, I think my dad read Beagle, but maybe just a biography with a similar title. Whatever it was, I think he enjoyed it.
Having caught the Martian death flu, I am reading lots of Calvin and Hobbes, because I can focus on it. I also read Death: The Time of Your Life, a supplement to Neil Gaiman's Sandman series, three times in a row. Maybe I'll be back to reading real stuff next week.
Reading The Pillowman for Brit. Drama and it is giving me massive 1984 flashbacks.
Not a text, but the Coraline soundtrack is abso-flippin'-lutely made of concentrated win and awesome. Just, y'know, for the record.
Cool. Don might also like to report back on his opinion of U2's new album.
I am seriously sick of not reading books, so I'm gonna try to read The Kite Runner over spring break, so help me.
