Right now I'm reading:

Naked Economics by Charles Wheelen - that copy is at work and I read it on breaks. I've FINALLY got around to it.

A Farewell to Arms by Hemingway - that copy is by my bed

and I'm also reading An Illustrated Guide to the American Economy as a supplement to the Wheelen book. That's also next to my bed.


I have 1776 but I haven't had time to read it. The reviews on the book were once good and now they seem to have turned really sour. Several reviewers on Amazon.com say the book jumps around a lot and isn't very well written. They also say it romanticizes Washington's role. I dunno - my copy has all the cool letters and stuff in it and I'm sure I'll get around to reading it one day.

About to re-read the first Famous Five book.

Right now I'm reading Dracula for fun, and for the first time!

Can you imagine? I don't think I've ever read Frankenstein or Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde either. I think I'll read them next!

I never did finish Great Expectations, but I did love it. I have never read any of the books listed above but I would love to.

"The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court"

I am also wrapping up a biography about Sinatra. Oh, and it just started snowing here and I have Bailey's for my coffee so I'll probably finish both tonight.

A Farewell to Arms has been completed so I'm now on The Ugly American by Lederer and Burdick.

Anyone here heard of www.anobii.com?*

I will start a booktalk.org group. You have to prove to me you are a member of this site to be accepted, using your existing username will help. The group will be called: Booktalk.org Members, you may have to do a search under groups, if you cannot find it my anobii username is Grim. If all else fails search for Bad Money and I should have it on my shelf (the one with the image). I am sure that the booktalk.org owner will be ok with this??

Oh and no need to thank me I do it for the kids.

I'm re-reading the first famous five book so I can read the next 9 in the box set I got the other day which I've never read before.

I just finished Probable Future by Alice Hoffman which took me my entire two week vacation to finish, so not really a book that you can't put down. I started Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks on the way home and my copy of Bad Money was waiting for me in the mail, so I'll start it soon.

Well, I told my kids I would read Inkheart this weekend since a movie is coming out next week. BUT, I forgot it at work. I might just read it to them this six weeks. I am reading a couple of mysteries (Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula & Back to School Murder) and a Ben Franklin biography. It all depends upon what mood I am in.
