Y'all made me do it. I downloaded Girl Gone. It's been at the top of the LA Times top 10 for weeks and everyone here loved it. Don't know when I'll get to it (maybe next). I've been downloading like crazy and easily have more than a dozen to read!

Currently working my way through The Legend of Drizzt Do'Urden! A terribly long but awesome fantasy series for any MMORPG players or Dungeons and Dragons lore lovers.

Yes. I love the Dungeons and Dragons universe.

Also, going to re-read The Hobbit for the new movie AND planning to start reading the translation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo in German in honor of declaring my German minor in college! WHOO, my German is very elementary still so that could take a while.

I also will pick up and read random things. I have been reading bits of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and Russell Brand's Booky Wook 2.

My fun book right now is Chasing Fire by Nora Roberts.

At lunch, I'm reading American Grown by Michelle Obama -- stunning photos and intriguing sidebars make it a beautiful book to read.

If anyone liked 50 Shades of Grey, would recommend Overseas. It's like 50 Shades with a hotter, more gallant Christian, time travel and no spanking.

“The Betrayal of the American Dream” by Barlett and Steele

This book is blowing me away. I considered myself pretty informed politically but this book really opened my eyes. It documents the decline of the American middle class over the last 30 years and how political policies (Democrat AND Republican) have allowed this to happen. It covers issues with the cost of higher education going up, how many people will no longer be able to retire, outsourcing, the fortune 500 companies that pay no taxes and cut jobs, and the small businesses that actually create jobs but get taxed much more, etc. It also details things that can be done to reverse this trend. An absolute must read.

Scarlett, thanks for that recommendation. I just read a few reviews and it looks interesting (if infuriating).

I'm listening to a really entertaining audiobook right now, 14. It's set in a mysterious apartment building in LA - with no vampires (yet).

I'm in the middle of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce and I just finished Love and Honor in the Himalayas which is a beautiful ethnography about a woman who goes to living with the Gurung people in Annapurna.

Favorite book of all time...The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. It's a long one but a very easy read and totally consuming
