Bill | 192 comments I won Pyotr Ilyich by Adin Dalton in a Giveaways contest here. It's a bit of historical fiction/murder mystery about the Russian composer Tchaikovsky.

Cool. I haven't looked much in the giveaways for quite awhile. This is a crazy month for me.

I started Runner's World Complete Book of Women's Running The Best Advice to Get Started, Stay Motivated, Lose Weight, Run Injury-Free, Be Safe, and Train for Any Distance by Dagny Scott Barrios before vacation and finished yesterday. Overall, this was a good book for running. I'm going to try running by time rather than distance for a few weeks and see how it goes. I would like to run a marathon someday in the not too distant future.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath I listened to Maggie Gyllenhaal perform this book. I had never read anything by Sylvia Plath before, but thought that Maggie had the perfect voice for this book. Many have compared it to Catcher in the Rye which I have not read yet, but it reminded me of The Awakening.

I'm currently reading The Body Book The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body by Cameron Díaz , and so far I agree with everything she says.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven by Sherman Alexie Finished for a book club next week. It is a collection of short stories, and not something I would normally read. It wasn't bad, there were a few I really like and a couple I forced myself to get through.

Bourbon A History of the American Spirit by Dane Huckelbridge Found this on the shelf at the library and after the Kentucky Derby I had Mint Julips on the mind. I'm not a bourbon drinker. My passion is for beer, but I can respect one's passion for alcoholic beverages. It was interseting to read how Bourbon has helped shape American history.

I'm not a bourbon fan either; it's been years since I had it. My father loved it, and he tried to get me to like it by making me a Manhattan with bourbon instead of rye. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I had a Manhattan too, even one made properly!

Brit-Think, Ameri-Think A Transatlantic Survival Guide by Jane Walmsley Aimed for someone spending more than a week in London. It was suppose to be funny, but I only got a few chuckles.

Just finished Fahrenheit 451 this morning. I'm now waiting at KCI to board a flight to Chicago with a layover to London. I brought The Complete Sherlock Holmes Volume 1 with me, and The Game of Thrones to read on the flights.
