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.

"Gone with the Windsors" by Laurie Graham. A definite divergence from my normal reading diet. Has anyone read it and does it ever become a good read?
I'm reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? for my sci fi class, which feels so much like Fahrenheit 451 right now, but I think that's going to change once I get a little farther, and I'm using Natalie Goldberg's book Old Friend from Far Away for my essay comp class. Christine, didn't you like her book Writing Down the Bones?
Exacto-mundo, DRD. I also like her other one, Wild Mind? Or something like that. Really like Writing Down the Bones for creative writing.
Can't say that I know of Gone with the Windsors. Anyone?
So I take it "Gone with the Windsors" isn't great so far, insomniac?
I am *almost* done with The Age of the Unthinkable, and I thought it would be a quicker read than it has turned out to be, but I think that's mostly my fault. It's a good book and one that I would recommend to everyone, actually, *especially* policymakers, but really just everyone.
And now I need to decide what to read next. I'm thinking *maybe* Deliverance Dane, but I'm really not sure. There are so many books already out there that I've been thinking of reading that I haven't gotten around to yet--story of our lives, right?

The City And ytiC ehT by China Mieville. Yes, it's Fiction.
Ohhhh. Weird. The title is all backwards-y. What does that mean, Don?
Checking out your link right now, Lisa!
Cool! I like the upside-down bookshelf!
Off to read some more Wuthering Heights. Aren't they all dead yet?
