I'm reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova...excellent!!
Book to get at the library if you can The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.... absolutely magnificent and my all time fave!
Did you give me a recipe a few weeks ago?
Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure if i gave you a recipe a few weeks ago. I posted many cookie recipes, but I don't remember sending a recipe to anyone in particular.

She's an incredible writer from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia who has been my friend and mentor since we met last year when her first incredible book Relative Happiness came out.
Yeah, Its been a long time since I read something, I wanna kind of get into reading, I'm not into Fiction, I prefer more factual interesting stuff (I'm pretty big on autobiographies) can anyone recommend me anything?

Arc of Justice was excellent. Non-fiction/historical/US Law, but read very well. Flowed really nicely, and the author did a great job of setting the scene.

I just finished Kristallnacht: Prelude To Destruction. It was about the Night of Broken Glass a horrible night on November 9, 1938 when the Germans smashed Jewish shop windows and looted these stores, and burnt some of them, and torched over 1600 synagogues throughout Germany and Austria. They killed some Jewish citizens and sent over 30,000 to concentration camps. It was the first state persecution action by the Nazis on Jewish citizens. It was a well produced book, and reprinted alot of personal stories and accounts from survivors, most written personally to the author.
I would recommend for anyone wanting a good history snapshot of the first major event that let to the Holocaust.
Next up, back to fiction, Lisey's Story by The MAN (Stephen King)

Just finished Lisey's Story. His best in awhile.
I also just finished "The Devil's Teeth" and "Marley and Me".
Right now I am reading "The Curious Incident of the dog in the night time"
Just finished Julie & Julia by Julie Powell. I'm on to Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job which is quintessential Christopher Moore. Very quirky and funny.

I just started to read Michael Ondaatje's 'In The Skin Of A Lion'. It's my favourite book of all time, been a few years since I read it last but I know it wont dissapoint so I am going to read it again.

werid fact...Mikal Gilmore's brother was convicted of Murder in the 1970s, and there was a lot of controversy regarding his execution. Mikal wrote a book about the experience.
Wow, good to hear. I really liked Cell, I was hooked into it, and it was kind of freaky at some points. As I have become older and have read all of Stephen King's books, it's a really cool, childish feeling anticipating a new book by him. It doesn't happen often, so I relish these moments. I bought his book about 2 weeks ago, it's been sitting on a table in my room, I have looked at it everyday knowing that I will be tackling it soon. Now the time has come, before I go to sleep tonight, I will begin another journey with myself, Stephen, and his characters.
Nothing much gets better than that.

yes gary gilmore was executed for murder.
norman mailer wrote 'the executioner's song' about the incident.
the book mikal wrote is called 'shot in the heart'
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Almost finished. It has taken me longer than usual to finish this book. It's an intriguing book with a slow introduction.... many characters to keep track of but I'm in the home stretch. I'm looking forward to see how it ends and that is always a good sign of a well-written book.

a wicked autobiography is Joe ezterhas: Hollywood Animal
I just finished Christopher Moore's "A Dirty Job." Quintessential Christopher Moore. I recommend it for a plane ride, or a vacation. It's not totally brain candy, but it has it's quirky moments that's for sure.

Yeah I am really enjoying "Curious Incident" as well. I am about halfway through it. I thought it would be more silly than it is. It is actually pretty heartbreaking.
I just finished "The Innocent Man" by John Grisham. It was his first non-fiction book and it was very, very good. I read the entire thing this past weekend.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.

Well put. I feel the same way. His characters and narrative voice are fantastic. I can never just buy one of his books and let it sit. I started Lisey's in Borders before I even bought it!!
He has another book called "Duma Key" that I think will come out next year.
