This weeks books
The Kite Runner
Yum. Delicious, sad and satisfying. Makes me despair of ever being a good author when the competition is that fierce.
The Mad Scientist’s Club
Again. This is total stress relief mind candy. I love it, a childhood favourite reread many times.
Woman On The Edge Of Time
Again. A really good read, I was looking for help getting the creative juices flowing about mad women and time travel for my final project in Eng. Lit. It worked.
Women Of The Asylum - Voices From Behind The Walls 1840-1945
Another for my Eng. project. Wuh, really, really intense. Just bleedin' awful in fact, but a really important book.
The Eyre Affair
Another for my project, time travel, lycanthropy, stolen manuscripts, a never ending Crimean war, alternate realities where literary characters come to life, (hence the title). I haven’t quite finished it but it is just wacky and fun. What the hell life is short, might as well read a goofy ass book now and then eh?

I just got "Holidays On Ice" by David Sedaris.
I needed something to read in the car and it's a short one.
A classmate just gave me a copied chapter to read from the book where he's talking about his first teaching job.
I never read him before, he's fucking hilarious.
A couple of us were reading them and disrupting the class, we were laughing so hard.
I gotta get me some 'o' dat.
But, umm, are you implying you're reading while driving? But thats just plain dangerous Nigel.
I have to take a "sanity break" at work and read in the car to get the brain back in tune.
If I run out of books I could get loopy.
Ahh thats a better explanation, I use childrens books for that and shockingly enough the occasional harlequin romance. Pure fluff. After all how will we know what's good if we don't know what's trashy.
