I am reading 'Black box' by Amos Oz.

So far I love it. Very heartfelt emotions and although letters normally bore me after a while (when they're not sent to me), this time it really fits the structure and the atmosphere.

i just started "love" by toni morrison. i'm addicted to her. this one is about some women who were all in love with one man who used to own a hotel who died(its a mystery as to how he died) years ago. the women are old and each one is telling their story. cant tell you much else. toni morrison is hard to read for me and sometimes i have to go back and reread some parts to get the full understanding but its well worth it. my favorite books by her is 'sula', 'bluest eye' and 'paradise'

I just finished Christ the Lord out of Egypt by Anne Rice



loved it

she's another one of my favorites. i haven't gotten to that one yet.

I'm about to read The Stranger. I know, I know, I should have read it years ago but I just got around to it.



In the meantime I'm finishing up The Philosophy of Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again. I've read it a gazillion times. And I always love it.

both are great books! two of my faves.

Love is A Choice

The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyong: The Autobiographical Writings of a Crown Princess of Eighteenth-Century Korea

tragic and fascinating.

I'm reading "Confessions of a Video Vixen" goodness! I really feel sorry for this woman. Talk about abuse. I never want to be reliant finnacialy on a man and have to deal with this kinda degrading life. I know lots of girls who when down this path and I'm SOOOO happy I stayed grounded. I may not be sporting diamond rings and rolling around in a Mercedes but I'm glad I have self esteem and a sense of pride in working for everything I have.

whose book it that?

Her name is Karrine Steffans. She was in a bunch of rap videos. Her sugar daddies were some REALLY big names. I just finnished reading about her marriage to Kool G Rap, one of raps firsts, and...ahhh...horrifing...their relationship was just....I don't know...he was terrible to her.

Juggs...February 2006 issue...very enlightening pictorial on 2 buxom women who get very bored at a party and entertain each other in a broom closet.

very interesting!

well..i just bought a book called "PostSecret"
it would be better if u just went here www.postsecret.com instead of my explaining it....

I just finished Dylan's Chronicles, and I liked it a lot.

Just finished Amy Tan's Saving Fish From Drowning.
Excellent.
A most read for all Amy Tan fans.

madartista said:

Yep. And I have to say I changed my mind about Ice T too. I misjudged him. He still irritates me but what he did for her is incredibly kind and generous.

The Sins of Scripture, by Bishop John Spong

about how scripture has been misused to abuse people, enslave, justify wars, terrorism, the depletion of the environment, and discrimination, and how we need to take back its true meaning.....just started it.

I just finished "The Burn Journals" by Brent Runyon and am currently reading "Name All The Animals" by Alison Smith. Next is "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane and "The Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis.
