    I'm reading the curious incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Haddon for the second time. I'd recommed it to anyone... although it's aimed more at children it's beautiful. It's a murder mystery where the main character is a boy called Christopher who has Aspergers Syndrome. The book is made even better because it's told from Christophers point of view.

    For entertainment purposes: The Gunseller by Hugh Laurie
    This is a decent book so far, Laurie certainly is a man of many talents and his writing isn't terrible, but his acting is better in my opinion. I recommend it though.
    For educational purposes: Kirkpatrick Signature Series Reader (a real page turner let me tell you-not).

    I'm finishing up "The Inner Circle" by Brad Metzler. It's a political thriller, conspiracy theory, secret societies....very exciting!

    I just started Wicked by Gregory Maguire. The musical is coming to my town next month and I want to see it SO bad!

    That is a great book and a wickedly awesome show. So far my all time favorite, but I'm going to see Les Mis later on this year!

    Well it does have a few situations that might cause problems... like when Christopher finds the dog, the policeman and Christopher running away to find his mother. I'd say pre-teen, teen. Though i could be read by younger, as you can tell i'm not very good at advising ages because i had a larger than average reading age as a kid. I mean i read The Lord of the Rings when i was 9 so... It might be better for you to read it first and then decide wether it's appropriate. The book gives a really good insight into the mind of a child with Aspergers.

    I am STILL reading Sherry Turkle's "Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other.''

    It's taking me forever to read, because I can never find the time!

    I am a Substance Abuse Counseling student and am fascinated by subcultures, minorities and cultural differences in the world. I am currently loving the book "ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK" a memoir of a woman's experience in a Federal Prison for 1 year. It is simply an amazing book and I cant put it down!

    I slogged through the first 50 or so pages of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and then I couldn't put it down. I think the beginning is difficult because it's switching perspectives. It's pretty intense, so I haven't read the other 2 yet.
