I was posting on the favorite shows topic, when I realized that I generally prefer reading or writing to watching television. Hence, here I am on the forum!!! But, I am currently reading Undressed by Steph Ann Holm. What are some of your favorites? Usually, I like mysteries. Absolutely adore Westward Diaries- detailing the wagon trail. And, sometimes even medical or political informationals.

All school for me  History,Logic,speech, and Physical Geology but I read nursing books and mags for fun.  Political papers when in St. Paul, but to tell you the truth they can be quite dry and hum-drum

We CAN make a difference, a little attitude can go a long way!
Writing Letters to the Editor is good therapy....if you are frustrated with community leaders share your thoughts, you'll find that you are not alone. Change happens in numbers!
Don't be afraid of change for the better.

I am reading Imajica by Clive Barker right now.
My favorite genre is Sci-fi Fantasy. I also like horror, poetry, some mystery and certain non-fiction.
I also try to read every book my kids read so I know what they're reading and when they talk to me about them we can actually discuss them.
Also if there are movies made from books I try to have my kids read the books if they watch the movie.

Some of what is said here (myself included) is about as tolerable as listening to someone vacuum a cat.

I've been reading a biography called the Lost German Slave Girl. It's a true story about a court case in New Orleans involving the identity of a slave - was she a German immigrant or a clever mulatto taking advantage of some Germans' claims that she is their long-lost relative who was kidnapped into the slave industry in the 1800's.
Very interesting read!

books i will be reading in the near future:
the innocent man, wild fire, the collectors, the mephisto club, the last white knight, act of treason & cross. would like to read more of Ron Handberg but he seems to have stopped writing. alex kava, Harlan Coben, Kathy Reichs, William j. Caunitz, Phillip Margolin, & John Sandford are authors i have enjoyed. if there are some out there who have not read Skipping Christmas, i would highly reccomend it for some light reading. painted house will also give you a glimse into the deep south years ago. wish you well is another well written book. i would also like to commend the new libarian for strightening out the library & heading in a new direction.

Here's one for you. I just picked up a book by Patricia Cornwell. For those of you unfamiliar with her, she is a coroner/ author. Very graphic in detail. Here's the kicker, it's a cookbook called Food to Die For-Secrets from Kay Scarpetta's Kitchen. (That is the name of the main character is many of her books). Actually it has some pretty yummy recipes in it. Co-authored by Marlene Brown.
