I just finished Living History- by Hillary

The one I really want is The year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion. It's about the year her husband died when her daughter was in a coma. I also want to read Darkness Visible by Styron, he just died last month I think.

Still haven't read The Four Agreements

I need to catch up with Amy Tan and Sue Monk Kidd
The Hundred Secret Senses and Saving Fish from Drowning

The mermaid chair by sue monk kidd, I already read and loved the secret lives of bees.

I have the new Anne Rice Book it is Christ the Lord out of Egypt, it was an interesting take on the life of the young Jesus.

I'm just over halfway through with Only Revolutions. An extraordinary book. I'm not sure what to make of it fully yet, though it has beautiful passages. It's really more poetry than prose, as it is highly rule-governed.

Great book.

That's that stupid book that looks like a EMO kid's depressing scrap book, right?
