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.

Still working on Drama (John Lithgow) and Pawnee: the Best Town in America (Amy Poehler as Leslie Knope). Not too hard to read those two concurrently.
Most recently, it's been interesting reading how Lithgow used his acting skills to dodge the draft (he's not proud of it), and how much Eagleton (a neighboring town of Pawnee) sucks.
Beyond that, I'm just trying to get ready for the upcoming semester (and other stuff) so I have no idea what I want to read next.
I've been reading Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco, which I started on the flight over to Italy. I'm quite enjoying it, and you will, too, if you revel in 12th century papal/monastic politics and the theological debates that had a tendency to get fairly silly in the Middle Ages.
Lisa, I like your mix of straight-up autobiography and light reading.
DRD, not so light! But Don will be pleased to see that your subject is sufficiently aged even if your author is not.
