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'm reading World War Z for the discussion at the public library this week. It's really incredibly good, I love all the stuff Max Brooks is doing with the idea.
I'm also reading Sodom on the Thames for my Gender and Sexuality class, a much more interesting and intelligent read than any of the preceeding works assigned in that class. I'm also supposed to be rereading the Oresteia, but we'll see how that goes.
Bozy tapes.
still reading Under the Dome. This is a large book...
Danny!
I finished The Anthologist and am again looking. Hmmm. Has anyone read Galapagos by Vonnegut? I love the cool new cover art for the Vonnegut books at B&N. I am reading a plethora of Poe on the side in honor of the Big Read. The Black Cat was a fairly nasty story - a sister to The Tell Tale Heart.
I'm reading Michelle Malkin's _Culture of Corruption_. So far it seems fairly well-written and well-researched, but it's making me feel so disillusioned about politics in general that I feel like I'm just slogging through it.

Finished "Stiff", now about to start "Cry, the Beloved Country" by Alan Patton
Finished "The Fall of the House of Usher" - ka-pow. Poe just does not monkey around. I feel like running in to the stories and handing out anti-depressants - "here, try some Prozac - quick - before you kill another person with an axe!"
A Poe intervention!
