As for me haven't been doing that much reading lately. Found that I hardly read any more as well. Have to say do have times like this and others don't. Guess it depends on the book itself as well.
I Was a Dancer, Jacques d'Amboise
Finished reading
Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far, Bristol Palin and Nancy French
It was definitely worth the purchase and read.
This is taken from another thread and/response that I have done regarding Bristol's mother and Tripp's grandmother.
What is/are Sarah Palin stance/s on family leave act (maternity, paternity, etc)? The reason why I'm asking this here because she didn't bring up in neither of her books. In my opinion this should be a paid one. It should also nation and worldwide as well.
Is there anyone else on here besides whom are getting beyond tired of her still being in the spotlight? That also goes her putting her husband, kids, rest of her family, and friends being in the spotlight and etc. Even though I'm still like her as a person then a politician.
She should just go back to her husband and kids. Instead being in the spotlight. Do feel sorry for her kids and the rest of family and everyone whom is associated with her. Because politics have truly ruined her and her husband for sure. Yeah I could be wrong about this.
Finished reading these few books a few mo back.
The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents.: One Unconventional Detour Around the World, Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, Amanda Pressner. It was worth the read. Especially, returning the hardcover because found it was little worn. Had to wait until the paperback was released to read it.
Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir, Elena Gorokhova a week ago. It was worth read. Especially, since found I learned more about the former Soviet Union then what I already knew about before reading your memoir. Can't wait to read more of Ms Gorokhova's life and/or her mothers life now.
A Father's Love: One Man's Unrelenting Battle to Bring His Abducted Son Home, David Goldman. WOW what a memoir this was and thank you, Mr. Goldman for writing about your ordeal to get Sean back home.
I'm currently reading Pride and Prejudice. I'm reading a free online version right now, but since I like it, I'll probably pick it up from the library.
I recently finished the Harry Potter series, which I thought was spectacular. I'm not sorry that I put off starting the series for almost a decade; I don't think I'd be able to wait years between books!
I also recently read a few assorted paperback romance books I borrowed from my sister. They were enjoyable, but didn't really stand out. I prefer "the classics" over anything else.
I am almost done with The Happiness Project.
I'm reading One Day, just because people have said that the film is good so i want to read the book first![]()
I'm on the last book of The Hunger Games series. They have the same feel as 1984. I'm really enjoying them.
What do you think of The Happiness Project?
All I heard about for a while was Twilight...then it got quiet for a while. Now the next movie is out and all I hear about again is people reading and watching Twilight...so I'd say Twilight...but I am tired of hearing about it! I BOYCOTT! lol
~Today, any person can fight the battles of one day It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's- yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.~
Hubby and I have been reading "Eat the Rich" by P.J O'Rourke. Entertaining wit!
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility. - Leo Tolstoy
The clearest explanation for failure of any marriage is that two people are incompatible; that is, one is male and the other female. - Anna Quindlen

Going through the public domain at the moment with my new Kindle, so Wuthering Heights is the current read. I gotta say, it's MUCH better than Jane Eyre. And here I thought I didn't like the Brontes!
made one wish for a permanent kiss that would echo through these bones like arsenic
