What are you reading...right now? - Page 3

I'm attempting to finish The Historian.

As with Shirl, all'a'y'all (see, I'm losing my Jersey accent

) keep me here late at night cutting into my reading time!

Next, and don't laugh too hard, The Odyssey and a recent translation of Don Quixote. Less daunting I've got "The General and the Labyrinth" - Gabriel Garcia Marquez and always on my nightstand is a copy of his "One Hundred Years of Solitude" which is something I can pick up and read at any point.

I have good intentions and a short attention span lately.

I read that on the beach in Playa last year. It was cool to be reading about when he is in Tulum and then being there a couple of days later.

I was reading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn...but someone stole it from me? (They will suffer for it...) I read it once a couple of years ago, but it is so good I wanted to re-read it. Just finished A Million Little Pieces (it was okay...but because of all the hub-hub with it, not as exciting).

Inventing The Abbotts and other stories by Sue Miller and I Wish I Had A Red Dress by Pearl Cleage... both in the bargain bin at some bookstore I wandered through...

NorthMinnesota, I read My Sister's Keeper last year and I hated the ending. Hated it with such a visceral reaction that I almost threw the book across the room... and I don't normally condone book abuse.

I read that and hated it too...not only the ending but the entire book. Was the healthy sister supposed to be a character we would sympathize with? I thought she was a selfish brat and couldn't get past that.

Great book! I haven't read any of his others yet though.

Imagine that, livin' with grizzlies then get eaten by them...duh!

Grizzly Man is an excellent video. Portrays Treadwell as the dumb ass he was.

Pecked to Death by Ducks by Tim Cahill

Publisher Comments:

In his latest tour of the earth's remote, exotic, and dismal places, the author of Road Fever and A Wolverine Is Eating My Leg sleeps with a grizzly bear, witnesses demonic possession in Bali, and survives a run-in with something called the Throne of Doom in Guatemala. Vivid and outrageously funny.
