Tell us what you are reading this month.

yesterday i read Ruined by ali spooner and Venus Rising which was also by the same author. Today i am reading Erosistible by gill mcknight. Then have to work on some rewrites.

Hmmmmmmm, you better be!"

Well the proof is in the pudding, of course...

I finished Desert Sons which is not bad for a typical 2 gay teens fall i love. There is realistic conflict an characters. I was reminded a bit of Chris and I, though they had way more sex - too much, IMO, for a novel. The writing is decent.

I just started its sequel Into This World We're Thrown. These should have been 1 novel, I think.

Next, I am not sure, probably Grand Conspiracy. I need to get back to Arithon and Lysaer.

I'm still reading The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival which just won a Canadian book award for non-fiction. It's a really good mix of adventure book, detective story/mystery and history lesson. It talks alot about what happened in Russia after the fall of communism, as well as post-"Perestroika" (look it up young ones...) One of the many things I've learned is that the Soviet Union was actually quite progressive (post Stalin) in establishing nature preserves. Who knew? It's certainly nothing that we would ever have been told during the Cold War in which they were all portrayed as cold, Godless Communists.

After this I might read Under the Dome just for some "light" reading.

I just finished The Lathe of Heaven; I feel that it is a superb novel.

And although I would love to immerse myself in some more Ursula K. Le Guin by picking up my copy of The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia, I've decided that instead I will turn my attentions towards White is for Witching.

This month I also hope to read The Hunger Games, Shame and possibly Sunshine. I'd really like to find some time and the focus to participate in a group-read, though!

Le Guin is the best ever. Don't forget The Left Hand of Darkness, definitely a gender bender.

Absolutely. The Left Hand of Darkness was the first of Le Guin's novels that I encountered. A magnificent read!

The Lathe of Heaven was a total mind eff - I loved the way it was written, leaving the reader to figure out what the HELL was going on. Good stuff!

Hello Tom. Great to meet you here. Yes, I utterly appreciate what you are expressing here; I felt extremely disorientated whilst reading The Lathe of Heaven. And my moments of sleep, whilst always rare and disturbed, were shaped rather wildly by the themes in the novel. I am still trying to catch a glimpse of some much-needed rest! ;)

Hi guys.. I am still here, just experiencing a dry spell.. I really am trying to read, but I can't seem to finish anything for the past four months. I am not sure why ... I start things and can't get momentum to finish.

I did listed to Crooked Letter Crooked Letter by Franklin and it was really good. I am trying to listen to some things on audio this month in hopes I can finish something. I also have the Distant Hours by Kate Morton to listen to. Hmmmm.

I'm 57.37% of the way thru Peril's Gate book 6 of the Wars of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurts one of the most literary and complex epic fantasies ever written.

Next up Willy by Robert Dunbar and re-reading Wraeththu if I can find my copy for our coming discussion.

I've read the entire Wraeththu series, just last fall. It will be difficult remembering what happened when and giving away secrets discovered in later novels.

I got WILLY in yesterday's mail and look forward to reading soon. Right now I'm reading couple of moral philosophy books for my Ethics class and listening to Water for Elephants.

I want to read willy!

I am reading The Secret of Chanel No. 5because I think I need to take a break from fiction. It is good so far. Interesting. This coming from the guy who never reads non fiction. But sadly, much of the fiction I had been reading is starting to blend together.

One of the highlights of my school year in NYC was seeing Coco on broadway staring Katherine Hepburn. The production was not very good, but just seeing Hepburn in real life, breathing the same air is an imprinted memory. This was back in '69-'70.

That would have been fabulous.. I was lucky enough to see Angela Lansbury twice on Broadway... we are running out of the great old divas. And the new young divas are not really the same.

Though, I bet Anne Hathaway can pull it off.
