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 finished A Woman's Place by Lynn Austin, it was excellent. Next I am starting Whispers of Winter by Tracie Peterson. It is the final book in her Alaskan Quest series.

"Persuasion" by Jane Austen. I'm really enjoying it! \:D/ I haven't read it before, which is kind of fun, since I don't know exactly what will happen.

Oooh, you made a good choice, Catspaw! I've read most of Jane Austen's books, and Persuasion is my second favorite. Pride and Prejudice is, of course, numero uno :-

That is a most excellent choice of books! \:D/ I love kids books! I recently bought "I'm So Embarassed!" by Robert Munsch just for fun. His books all rock! \:D/ And I read the book to my Mom (talk about a switch! ;)) and now sometimes I say a line from there when it seems funny and we can both laugh.

I just read that, as I'd heard about it for a long time. I enjoyed it. It's rather tragic...

:-$ Don't tell anyone.... *looks around* But I'm re-reading the Boxcar children series. :-$ I'm reading them because I'm so tired that I want something that will take little effort to read.

I so remember that series. I read some of them when I was younger and then I introduced them to my little sister. I think I read the first few books of that series to her when she was younger and little. Didn't I, Macnut?

It's a great series. And you're right, your brain can rest and simply enjoy everything.
