A sunny deck sounds perfect for Sunday. We have rain here.

I had never heard of Remember Love or Jody Lisberger, but I just checked it out. A first book–a collection of stories. It looks wonderful.

I’m also reading another book on teaching composition

And I had The Pact by Jodi Picoult from the library, but had to return it unread.

More books than time.

I used to do that too–have different books in different places, but it started to make me feel scattered, and out of control. So, at least for the moment, I carry them from my chair, to the bed, and back downstairs again.

Oh, and The Bean Trees–I loved that book!

Not because of my love of reading, but because I’m lazy. I have a book in every area of my house. By my bed is Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picouli. In my car is Sin and Syntax by Constance Hale. On my coffee table is The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver, and on my favorite chair is She’s Come Undone by Wally Lamb.
Now if I misspelled any names or titles it’s because I’m too lazy to get up and look at them

Darn, I’ve been visualizing the art book at the bus stop!

Thanks, I’ve added The Gargoyle to my list!

Oh, heavens no; I’m interspersing other books as my “travel” reading, and just picking up the art book at home on the couch. Kinder to my back!

It got so much fanfare here in Canada. Before it was even published it was compared The Name of the Rose and Michael Ondaatje’s The English Patient. He also received one of the largest advancements ever given. I was curious of course, but when I began it, I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish the book. I didn’t even know why I had begun it, yet I hing on. Now, I cannot put it down. The beginning is crude description (the narrator being a coke addicted porn star/producer who suffers severe burn damage – sounds lovely, doesn’t it??) But turns out to be a beautifully rendered romance. It would not call it fantasy, perhaps I would put it in the same category as the Time Traveler’s Wife and Never Let Me Go (two of my favorite books, and also happens to be the group I would throw my first novel in with:)
