    A People's History of the United States - Howard Zinn

    Good stuff. I had it as a text book for a class in high school. We referred to ourselves as Zinners...

    Sometimes a Great Notion - Ken Kesey

    I started this but didn't finish it. It's not an easy read. I still wanna finish it at some point though.
    I finished the other and I am only reading this now. Took a little while to follow but once I was in a ways things became clearer. Probably helps that I live in the area the book is set.
    That said here I am a month later still working my way through it. It is still compelling I just haven't really spent a lot of time reading this month.

    Half way through The Night Ferry by Michael Robotham. It's the third in the series, with each book using a different main character that are all connected. The fourth book goes back to the 1st character taking the lead.

    Great book. I liked it better than the first one. Can't wait for the last one to come out in paperback.

    I rec'd a Kindle for my bday and I've bought books that I would never in a million years buy in the book store.

    The Complete Idiot's Guide to Understanding Buddhism. Great read.

    the L.A. Candy books by The Hills' own Lauren Conrad. Addicted to that TV junk food.
