Just got back from the library. Picked up

"Secrets Of A Shoe Addict" by Beth Harbison. Looks like a lot of fun.

"Obsession" by Jonathan Kellerman. I read everything he writes. Really enjoy the Alex Delaware novels.

"Sis Boom Bah" by Jane Heller. Another fun book.

I've got 3 new ones.

Book club has selected "Eat, Pray, Love" which I started months ago. It never really grabbed me although I know lots of people loved it. I guess I'll try it again.

The next two I learned of through one of Canada's Sunday papers. We were in Calgary last week.

"On Chesil Beach" by Ian McEwan. National Bestseller in US & Canada. Received wonderful reviews. He wrote "Atonement".

"Snuff" by Chuck Palahniuk. This was #2 in Calgary. He also wrote: "Choke" & "Fight Club" - both turned into movies. May be too risque for some.

Just finished "Secret Life of Bees". This is another book that I know a lot of people loved. I liked it and did find the ending moving but, at times, I was kind of blah about it. Definitely not in my upper tier of preferred books.

However, I saw someone was reading Wicked. I LOVED WICKED!!! Gregory Maguire - what a wicked imagination!!!

Since I am a Literature student currently writing her MA dissertation this what I am reading in the Literary level (I decided to avoid writing down the critical work as well).

A Passage to India - E. M. Foster

Loxandra - Maria Iordannidou (A Greek book never translated to English unfortunately)

And for pleasure (by the way I consider the two above also a pleasurable reading but this is where I block critical analysis for awhile)

The Complete Adventure's of Sherlock Holmes - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Angie Here-

Just finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen - EXCELLENT!!!

I also recently read The Last Promise by Richard Paul Evans--a great chick book written by a man!!
