I just bought this book...

The Tibetan Art of Positive Thinking by Christopher Hansard

I'm a sucker for the young adult fantasy genre, or anything having to do with wizards and such. I've already preordered the new Artemis Fowl for July and the third Christopher Paolini book, Brisingr for September, but right now I'm reading this:

For leisure: An Innocent Man, John Grisham
For school: Ethics and The Conduct of Business, A Gift of Fire, and Computers and Technology for Today's Society

I'm still reading Justine, Marquis de Sade

its not out in australia til august

im currently re-reading this:
book 3 in the bartemaius trilogy
then im starting:

I'm reading The Last Empress by Anchee Min. Excellent story about the last years of the Empress.

I'm seriously obsessed....

I feel a thread coming on.

i haven't actually started reading this yet, but once i get a moment to sit with a book, it's next on my list. i've also been pecking at a very interesting book of essays on batman - the movies, the comics, the cartoons...all things batty. fun stuff.

This, still. My pace has really slacked off the last few weeks. Too much going on to devote a lot of time to reading. From now on, more reading, less orging.

Palomar by Italo Calvino

Cyber Rights - Defending Free Speech in the Digital Age by Mike Godwin

I'm hoping it will illuminate me on Prince's convoluted moves towards the Net and his fans and perhaps reveal an ingenious little model for distribution that would make everybody happy - fans & artists.
One can dream...

that's valiant!

It's a struggle, but I will complete this horrible book.

You've said it:) Right now I'm toiling through Section 506 of Title 17 of the Copyright Act in the 'The Battle over Copyright on the Net' chapter.
My next read will be on zen cooking, it's decided:)

really, you know I've heard that one of her other recent books wasn't all that great either and the title escapes me right now.

I know exactly what you mean. This was a very hard book to read. I used to love Toni's work, but her last couple of books are over the top boring. I find the same with Alice Walker. Both of these ladies used to be favorite writers of mine, but their recent work is sub-par IMO.

i can't remember the last alice walker novel i read. i think it was the third book in the 'color purple' cycle (i forget the title), and i wasn't at all thrilled with it.

I need to finish this book, because I'm really loving it, but I'm tempted to stop in the middle to start this one that I've been hearing great things about for years:
