Tropic of Cancer
Fear of Flying
Song of Solomon(Toni Morrison)
Possessing the Secret of Joy(follow up to The Color Purple)
The Devil & Miss Prym
Lolita
Rabbit Redux
The Secret History
All are on my 1001 Books challenge list, easily half or more are also on the various Banned/Challenged book lists :) I should have fun with these :)



Yes. That is the first one. They mentioned at our book club meeting that the others are hard to find.
I'm rereading Wuthering Heights.

Now reading The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul

I have never heard it pronounced like that.

I get that way at times because I have so many books on my shelf. I have to tell myself '1 book at a time' but that doesn't always work

1. The wind up bird chronicle, Haruki Murakami.
2. Walden, Henry David Thoreau.
3. Trusting God, Jerry Bridges.
Tomorrow will star Dreaming Anastasia for the group reading.


That is one of my favorite books ... who is the narrator on your edition? I might check that out ...



Hedgehogs just started
There's Lead In Your Lipstick: Toxins in Our Everyday Body Care and How to Avoid Them got a little sidetracked on this one but I'm going back to it.
I'm also starting Dreaming Anastasia and Fauna

I am 55 pages into Rabbit, Redux, good so far, but a trite bit dry. The first one was a little dry too, but I'm wondering if that's just characteristic of Updike's writing style.
Still have on deck:
The Secret History, has good reviews so far
Lolita-controversial for many years, on the Banned/Challenged lists
Fear of Flying-also on the Banned/Challenged lists
Tropic of Cancer-also on the Banned/Challenged book lists


Now I'm back to my paranormal love Night Huntress series, the new one just came out

and listening to




I adored Dreaming Anastaisa! I hope you like it. (:

1. The wind up bird chronicle, Haruki Murakami.
2. Walden, Henry David Thoreau.
3. Trusting God, Jerry Bridges.

The wind up bird chronicle was good! but weird, but good! You won't forget the experience of reading it :D



I also on the side when I need something else, read
Ruth Maier's Diary: A Young Girl's Life Under Nazism and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West.


I just needed a light read, so I'm reading one I liked from when I was younger."
I use to love Sharon Creech, my favorite of her's is Chasing Redbird
