    Ghost Story by Peter Straub and Playful Parenting by Lawrence Cohen. I've been meaning to read Ghost Story ever since I readThe Talisman by King and Straub as a kid, but Straub was too difficult for me then.

    I've also been on an Agatha Christie kick lately, and just finished the first Poirot and the first two Marple mysteries.

    I'm reading Freedom by Jonathan Franzen right now.

    A recommendation I have if you want to pick up physical copies of books for cheap is to go to your local Goodwill. My sister is a teacher and just found a nice hardcover box set of The Hunger Games series for her students for less than $5. I picked up three books, Delicious, Omnivores Dilemma, and Founding Brothers for around the same price.

    The Heavenly Table

    .... by the best *kitten* author you've never heard of, Donald Ray Pollock

    His previous work titled: "The Devil All The Time" happens to be one of the best 5 books I've ever read (and I read a lot).

    Just started reading the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu.

    I've just begun to start to understand it, but have already put some of it's wisdom to use in determining how to approach a complicated situation at work.

    Reading means having more than 10 in a block to sit down in a quite place and look at the words..... so I don't read, I don't ever have time to myself.

    I'm reading The Girls because everyone else is (and for my book club) and a fluff urban fantasy series for mindless distraction.

    "Fiend"

    it's a love story about junkies living thru a zombie apocalypse. (really, it is; it's pretty good too)

    And I am looking over three different Bibles, trying to figure out which one to use as my main one, because of the cataracts. The nice, light ones have print that is too small, of course, but the ones with bigger fonts are SO heavy!

    Curious but why don't you use a tablet of some sort and down load a version on to it. Usually you can change the font size for preference then... I prefer to make notes to myself but Then maybe just keep a pad of paper instead? The option would be much lighter for travel and you leave the heavier one at home.

    I am reading Mary Poppins by PL Travers (it's so light hearted and fun! It's my daughters school book... totally sat down with it tonight) and The Magnolia Story by Chip and Joanna Gains. It's a fast read. Very "them" if you like the show Fixer Upper. Several others with my kids for school.

    American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Thoroughly enjoying it- I'm about 3/4 of the way through and will be disappointed when it's done.

    Next up is Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by PKD. It's a classic that I can't believe I haven't read until now.
