What best descib
It's pretty ridiculous at my workplace too..I use my computer all day long for work purposes, and they put in a firewall about 8 months ago - now I can't even get to my children's school websites if I need to call a teacher while I am at work - even on lunch! I get that they are trying to keep people on task - but only a few departments have the restrictions, and wouldn't you know the corporate office has none..and my boss's girlfriend can get to whatever she wants. Frustrating!! ]]>

Fantasy, romance, science fiction, classics, in that order.
2. What is your favorite genre?
Fantasy, especially if it's humourous like Piers Anthony..."
I love Piers Anthony too, Sara! I have probably the last 5 Xanth novels in my admittedly enormous TBR pile - I hate to read them out of sequence and I am missing one or two. I think my favorite series of his though was the Incarnations of Immortality. I haven't read those in years.. I might have to sift through the bookshelves and re read them for next year. Which ones are your favorite?

Looking for a good non-fiction read? Ever wonder if there is such a thing as ghosts? Then you can't go wrong with Spook. Mary Roach tackles a scientific analysis of ghosts, spirits, reincarnation, and the afterlife with her trademark realism, with, and humor. I love her writing style - the only thing that lessened my rating of this book was that to me, it seemed a bit disjointed and did not flow as well as Stiff, her prior novel. Also, there is just so much out there to cover on paranormal/afterlife, it was bound to leave things out that I would have liked to have seen. That being said, I still think Mary Roach is one of the most entertaining non-fiction writers I have ever read and this book will definitely keep your attention! One of the aspects of her writing style that I like the most is that while she presents the scientific facts in a very matter of fact way, she never out and out says any one belief or line of thought is 'wrong' or 'stupid' or is derogatory at all. She pokes fun at some, but not in a mean way. Regardless of if you personally do or don't believe in ghosts, this book may not change your mind - but it will give you much food for thought. ]]>
