    Finished re-reading the Committment or something named like that, by Dan Savage. Now I'm reading A History of the Wife by Marilyn Yalom. One is a history from about 10 years ago on the unavailability of marriage and its benefits to same sex couples. The other is the history of women's roles in history through the lens of the role of wife.

    Helen of Troy by Margaret George. Love the way she writes stories seen through the eyes of the that person. My favourite is her one on Henry VIII. I also have her Memoirs of Cleopatra and Biography of Mary, Queen of Scots, Elizabeth Tudor and Mary Magdelene (which isn't as good as all the others)

    I'm going to have to look at some of these books,


    The last book I read was The Other Boleyn Girl, by Phillipa Gregory, I love her writing style although I hate how inaccurate she portrays the characters although it really makes for a different story

    I have a few of Phillipa Gregory's books, but really do prefer Margaret George- I'm sure you will enjoy them! Tudor history is fascinating to me :)

    Currently reading. "The fountainhead" - Ayn Rand

    One of my all-time favorite books, though I don't believe in her philosophy.

    I recently finished the Hunger Games trilogy. Haven't had a bookorgasm like that in YEARS.
    My life feels almost empty after finishing it, and now I am just counting down the days till I can watch the first movie.

    I read The Stand years ago, fantastic book. Did you ever see the mini-series on TV? Not so fantastic.

    Just finished The Story, which is an abridged version of the Bible put in chronological order to read more like a... well....story. Now I'm half way into A Princess of Mars which is the book the new movie John Carter is from.

    Is A Princess of Mars any good? I was considering reading that next.

    I read a lot of sci-fi and I really like it so far. I hope the movie holds up.

    They are making a movie?? I had no idea! My first name is Dejah and it came from the novel back in the 70's. I guess this means I won't be one of the few with that name anymore. :-/

    Yeah, John Carter. Started last Friday. I finished the book yesterday and am going to the movie tonight. Did you know there's 19 books in the series???

    We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. It's the story of a mother and her relationship with her son, who ends up committing a school shooting. It was very brutal and hard to read sometimes because of the subject matter. That said, it was very well written and I would recommend it to anyone who can handle reading something very dark and thought provoking.

    Now I'm reading Adam Carolla's, In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks. I needed a laugh after that last one.

    I love to read but am taking an American Literature after 1800's class and currently reading The Great Gatsby (hope something happens soon!). Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird, and before that, Death of a Salesman and Ethan Fromme (which I thought is the stupidest book ever written!!) Can't wait to be done with these so I can get back to reading "fun" books!! My all-time Christian book is A Skeleton in God's Closet by Paul Maier (it is not scary).
