Olympics!

I felt like I kept putting off posting, because I didn't want to write a book about everything going on.. So no recaps. Just moving forward. And I'm tired so you're only getting soundbites tonight

I'm reading Aldous Huxley's Brave New World at the moment and really enjoying it. If you like sci-fi or social commentary stuff, I'd read it. It's like a novel, so it's easy to get through.

Also, I highly recommend Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins.

I've heard about Jitterbug Perfume! I will look into it!

I've read Brave New World.. I really liked it! I should read it again, it's been a looooong time. :)

hehe, I also recommend Jitterbug, I'm almost done with it. As good as it is, I read it for a while then I put it down for months at a time, but now I'm getting really into it.

I miss watching the Olympics with you and Tim and everyone. I've been catching some of the swimming and gymnastics.

Cant wait to see you in a few weeks!!!

Rawk to Duma Key. That book is amazing in ways I can't even begin to explain. ♥ I've got S.K.'s new book of short stories, Just After Sunset, on pre-order. Collector's Edition with DVD. I'm a die-hard, read 'em all fan, but I've never spoiled myself with a Collector's Ed. before. I figured it was about time. ^_^

I'm reading The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide right now. Can't wait to get past the parts that were in the movie. :P

Ooooooh, I have The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide, it is SO GOOD. Hrmmm, perhaps this merits a reread!

Yeah, I'm really enjoying Duma Key, and am having a tough time putting it down. I actually got pretty annoyed yesterday because I had planned to read until bedtime, but some friends came over instead.

Does Just After Sunset have that story The Gingerbread Girl? I keep trying to find it, but my library.. it fails me.

[mandyesque]

Yes, it does! I'm crazy-excited to finally have a chance to read it. It was originally an audiobook-only release, so I ended up pirating it. I hated doing that to my favorite author, but listening to books isn't my thing. It's wonderfully gory, though. ^_^

I recently read Running with Scissors: A Memoir by Augusten Burroughs and it made my life look all rosy and shiny so I recommend. There is a prequel to it out now that I am dying to get- A Wolf at the Table. They made the first one into a movie I think but I got interested in reading it when I heard an interview with the author on NPR.
