On the road, I am just now finishing "The Widows of Eastwick", John Updike's sequel to "The Witches of Eastwick" (1984). I always travel with books, to avoid the airline magazine and edited movies.

I always travel with books, to avoid the airline magazine and edited movies.

Ditto here... I always travel with at least one book.

And the one I am within an hour or two of finishing is Orson Scott Card's "Keeper of Dreams".


I seem to find short story collections to be the best road books, but that's just me.

Speaking of short stories, I'm wading through Ray Bradbury's Quicker than the Eye, first published in 1996, apparently. Thus far, I haven't been blown away the way that some earlier Bradbury does me, but still, even bad Bradbury is worlds better than many authors.

as do i...an avid book worm i cannot imagine going anywhere without a book..how was the original book? is it better than the movie? i'm going to order "Rosemary's Baby" next..

my bookshelves are filled to the limit and to the ceiling with piles and piles of all sorts of books..i have my own library..

also what makes a true reader is one who reads a book more than once..i've read so many favorites over and over..it's like greeting an old friend..

I just finished "Fine Just The Way It Is - Wyoming Stories 3", a collection of short stories by Annie Proulx.

Ms Proulx specializes in short stories, and this is her 3rd collection of shorts based in Wyoming.

The first "Close Range - Wyoming Stories" featurned her best known work "Brokeback Mountain" which later became a hit movie.

The second in the series was "Bad Dirt - Wyoming Stories 2."

I'm usually reading a bunch. Right now I'm reading: Anita Blake's Guilty Pleasures #1 (comics 1-6), The Lucifer Effect: Understanding how good people turn evil (AWESOME for all you social psych.s out there! :super_hap), re-reading comic Joker by Brian Azarello- for my course homework so nyah!! >_< Adam, Dragons of Autumn Twilight, and am looking into reading Obsessed by Ted Dekker, once I'm done his other book Adam.
Oh!! I almost forgot the most important book! I read a couple chapters of the Bible almost EVERY night, regardless the hour. I plan on re-reading that all once again since I want it as fresh as possible irregardless of the state of my brain.
So yeah. I usually have a pretty big choice to pick from and have a good memory so I can remember almost everything that I've read in each. *happies* :happy:
