    Will do. If it's half as good as the film it should be great. Although that being said I was extremely underwhelmed by do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Blade Runner). Dick can be a rather mediocre writer at times. Big ideas, but doesn't always have the talent to match them.

    Just started "The Crossroads" by Niccolo Ammaniti.

    This guy is going to be a major author.

    The Language of Baklava by Diana Abu-Jaber is so gorgeous, so lucious that I'm so happy! In fact, I was walking in from my lunch break after reading some of the book, and I was so happy that I gave the brownie that I had been saving for later to a co-worker. I said to him, This book is so gorgeous, I must give you this brownie. In fact, I'm inspired to bake cookies this weekend and bring them into work. I haven't done that for over a year. Ah, life! Such food, such grace, such joy!

    if any of you girls want a fun series, I just got finished with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series (One for the money...) Great little books, kinda mindless entertainment...uinless you're from or know the Trenton, NJ area then they are even funnier :-)

    Those books are my guilty pleasure. Such enjoyable mindless entertainment. I love the characters, so cute.

    I listened to an audio book on cd while I drove to work recently. The Penny by Joyce Meyer.

    still did not finish 90 minutes in Heaven.

    I have another audio book, The Time Traveler's Wife.

    I just read the autobiography on Gary Hart, who was a wrestling manager in the 80s. If you're a hardcore fan, it's up there w/Bret Hart and Mick Foley's books. In my top 5 for wrestling books.

    I must be getting old. I went from the Gary Hart wrestling book to Eat, Pray, Love or whatever it is. Gilbert is one fruity broad.

    Angels & Demons. My cousin said he was disappointed in the ending, the beginning was a little slow-going but the middle has me HOOKED. I hope to not be disappointed like my cousin :|
