Just a quick note to say, I am reading Sigrid Nunez's The Last of Her Kind right now, and it is very, very good. Amanda, if you're looking for a book to read right now, I think you would especially like this one. It's the story of two female college roommates at Barnard in the late sixties. It's one of those nice, hearty stories where you really

Sounds like my kind of stuff! I'm currently reading Reading Lolita in Tehran, which is really interesting, especially if you love books and believe they are powerful, but isn't a quick read. After this I have two more. Haha. Then I'll borrow this one from you :)

You guys are so funny. I WISH I had time to read. On the T ride into work in the morning, I tend to read the Metro (so I at least know SOME of what is going on in the world, natch) although I should read the Globe that we get at the office. I don't usually take lunch, and when I do take lunch I go do errands, so can't read then. And then on the way home, I usually read a magazine, as I subscribe to something like seven of them! God, too many magazines you think? I would really like to start reading again, but then I don't want to read at night because I only have so much time before I fall asleep to watch TV, which I am obsessed with. I want to read the Narnia Chronicles again though. And I love chick lit. But I don't like heavy reads or nonfiction (usually).

Any suggestions?

I love talking about books with you and thanks for all the tips about great books! I'm so glad you've gotten into sci-fi, particularly dystopian and/or psychological ones, which was the kind I ran through in my late teens and early 20s... You gotta read The Dispossessed, girl! :-)
