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.

I finished "Why Evolution is True" and my "half-way-through" opinion still stands - it's a great book.
Now I'm revisiting the classic "Tess of the d'Durbervilles. I gave my hub a brief synopsis of the story and he wants to know why I like to read such hapless stories. But Hardy has such a beautiful way of telling a sad tale.
I am reading "Contact", and totally enjoying Sagan. I love the thickness of the science - the whole discussion for why Vega is an odd but believable star to be sending messages is a little mind-blowing for me...sometimes I have to re-read parts...
I picked up "Contact" at our local library sale. I'd seen the movie but haven't read the book. I figured if it's Sagan, it's got to be good. Glad to hear it is!
After reading the preceding two posts, I'm feeling wussy and lazy. I'm reading the first book in E.E. Knight's Vampire Earth series, Way of the Wolf. It's very, very light. Actually (and I feel quite bad saying this since I've met the author and he's a really nice guy), it seems quite clumsily written, with parts that don't quite follow given the characterization. Still, I do like some of his descriptions and comparisons, and I am still reading. Partly because I'm in D.C. and didn't bring any other books with me, but it does sort of pull me back.
Well, I know what I would LIKE to be reading... :)
Ha! You must wait, Don. I'm going to read more of it right now! But who had it before me? It's dated 7/9/09 and I just saw it in the break room the other day. Martha? Did you read The Anthologist?
DRD, I also read Way of the Wolf not long ago. It was fun, light brain-candy until the last 85 pages. Bleh.
Christine, I am, to put it mildly, ecstatic that you and Olivia are reading (or have read) Coraline. 'Cause, yeah. Gaiman equals fabulous.
At the moment, I'm reading All the Windwracked Stars by Elizabeth Bear and Dark Sleeper by Jeffrey E. Barlough. Both are amazing.
Twas not me, Christine. I'm up to my eyeballs in reading material...
Maybe Patsy?
