    I finished Kafka and switched to:

    "Trapped! The story of Floyd Collins"

    So far it's a real page turner and a great non-fiction book.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    i loved that one, too. very different kind of book.
    i just finished 'into the wild' and as i said in the thread about that book, i didn't love it. felt like it jumped around too much and was low on content.... plus i didn't find chris likeable.

    i'm moving onto harry potter next, i think. i still need to read 6.

    I read a couple pages of "Martha Stewart's Homekeeping Handbook: The Essential Guide to Caring for Everything in Your Home" every night.

    It's a good thing.

    I read that too - it was kinda cool. Just finished "Into the Wild" - I read it in one day.....I thought it was very tragic. Don't want to say too much more & spoil it for the rest.....can't wait to see the film now.

    I just finished "Look at Me" by Anita Brookner. Book review available at http://nextstopgraduateschool.blogspot.com

    I'm starting to read, "A Power governments cannot suppress" by Howard Zinn. I have to read this in bits because I get so angry. It's not bad to get angry, but if I'm angry at people I know because I read this book, and they think differently than me, then I lost sight of the fact that they probably read their own books, and we just have different paths. I remember listening to the Vietnam War part of Howard Zinn's US History book, and I totally broke down sobbing. I really have to take his books in bits. I hope I finish this one.
