    You're right. Only, it's not Playboy. It's Jugs.

    I mostly read contemporary American poetry.

    Couple weeks ago ordered some new books. Been working on Jorie Graham's "The Dream of the Unified Field", her selected poems. Plan on reading "Red Doc>", which I also ordered--it's the followup to Anne Carson's novel-in-verse "Autobiography of Red", which I loved.

    I also have been reading Men's Health and Men's Fitness a lot! They have really good recipes that I can actually do.

    OK Returning to the original point of the post I can give you a definitive answer to what I shall be reading in the near future as my access to printed English Literature is limited (until I call in an emergency NATO book drop from England)

    So at the moment I am midway through Moby D1ck by Herman Melville
    Next is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
    Then the complete collection of Edgar Allan Poe's Short stories
    Followed by two books by John Paul Satre "Iron in the soul" and "The reprieve"
    then Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
    The complete works of Hans Christian Anderson
    Cider with Rosie by Lawrie Lee
    and finally the New Machiavelli by HG Wells

    After that I shall be frantically calling in a UK book drop from my collection back in the U.K.

    My bookshelves are overflowing. On my nightstand there's a tower of books that have slowly shoved my alarm clock and lamp onto the floor. The books on top are: 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Grass by Sheri S. Tepper (haven't started it yet), and Why I'm Afraid of Bees (probably one of the most ridiculous Goosebumps stories ever...lol! it's for a friend....)

    Do you ever seem to get unwarranted attention from men when you're in the bookstore?

    I love the works of George Orwell, when I arrived here in Paris the first book I read was Down and out in London and Paris, a brilliant book really very accurate indeed. 1984 is a masterpiece I do hope you enjoy it.

    Just finished, "Becoming Marie Antoinette" by Juliet Grey. Finishing, "The Journal of Mrs. Pepys." by Sara George. Still wading through Antonia Frasier's, "Mary Queen of Scots."

    I have The Warrior Queens and The Wives of Henry VIII by Antonia Fraser in my TBR pile. I just finished The Red Queen by Phillipa Gregory and up next is Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I :heart: history and historical fiction!
