What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I'm right in the middle of The Clique series, by Lisi Harrison. I just finished "Invasion of the Boy Snatchers" and hoping to read "The Pretty Committee Strikes Back" soon.

My Life as a Furry Red Monster by Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo. Believe it or not, he's actually a six foot, 45 year old, african-american male from the intercity. Not who you'd expect to find behind a 3 1/2 year old furball.

I need to get to the library, haven't been there in a while.

..Anyway, I finally finished The Creature From Jekyll Island (Woohoo, 580 pages of economics and economic history! :anxious: ), and read a few books that I haven't seen in years -- My Side of the Mountain (can't remember the author, first name is Jean I think) and The Four Story Mistake by Elizabeth Enright. \:D/

My sister brought in a box or two of books from our storage trailer that were packed up at our old house 4 years ago and haven't been out since then. :)

I am a big fan of AIO, but I am not Jave Griffin or have ever been on AIO. I am just a huge fan of AIO and Jimmy Barclay. I love Odyssey, and Jimmy rules.
