I read Wicked about two years ago, and then re-read it in October when I was spending a lot of time at the hospital w/ my partner. I loved Wicked. I loved the play even more, I saw it in Toronto (with Carole Kane) last march and.... :eek: it was fantastic. I cried.

I guess it does start out a little slow, I just got so into it that I forgot that.

Sarah Waters, who wrote the Victorian romantic thrillers Affinity; Tipping the Velvet; and Fingersmith(shortlisted for the Booker and the Orange) departs from the 19th Century with this novel. Set in and after the second world war in London this book tells the stories of Helen, Julie, Kay, Viv...

I finished The Night Watch by Sarah Waters tonight, 10/10. I'm gonna post a review in the fiction forum.

The Kid by Dan Savage. It's the story of Dan and his boyfriend trying to adopt a child. The funniest part of the book, had Dan worrying that no one would pick them (they were doing an open adoption) because he had a hard time picturing a girl who would choose to give their baby up for adoption...

um, I'm reading a book by Jacqueline Park called "the Secret book of Grazia dei Rossi" right now, fantastic!

Renaissance/Elizabethan. I'm reading a book set in Italy during the high renaissance right now, and I can't put it down!

Figured I'd just bump this instead of starting a new thread! I read: The Other Boelyn Girl (reread) - really interesting, though wildly fictionalized look at the story of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII's courst. The Queen's Fool - this was actually slightly more interesting, because it...

well, 9 months later...it's on it's way to me right now, I'll pick it up at the library tomorrow, I'll post my opinion when I do read it. (it's third in line now, I just have to finish my current book and read one more)

I've put a request for this book in at the library, I'll report back when I get to it, should be about six weeks.

Has anyone else read this? I'm about half way through it and am utterly captivated!! It's the story of a young Jewish girl is Italy during the renaissance, it's also on of "Heather's Picks" at Chapters/Indigo. I'd love to discuss it with someone!

Right now, I'm finishing up The Spanish Queen, don't know the author, it's about Catherine of Aragon (Henry VIII's first wife) then, probably in THIS order: The secret Book of Grazia dei Rossi by Jacqueline Park The Night Watch by Sarah Waters The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova Simone du...

I almost exclusively use the library. My library has that awesome patron request website, so I can order any book they have and they'll ship it to a branch of my choosing and email me when it's there. I absolutely adore the library because in my current financial state, without it, I wouldn't...

my cubicle at work mainly. Glad to be back!

Trade Paperback, I just love the way they fit in my hand, it just feels so write. I tend to lock myself in my bedroom with the cats, a can of diet pepsi and my pillow top mattress (which I actually sat in a "reading" position on before buying it) on the weekends, and trades are mush easier to...

I read the paragraph closely and came in at 512. Didn't do the exercises. I can do 200-450 pages in a 3 hour period depending on the book and the level of interest I have in it and noise around me.

my last one lasted probably a good four months, I just get so wrapped up with work and such I basically forget to read. Though in the last week I've read 5 books (yay for vacation) so this one seems to be over.

Lost Woman Song- Ani DiFranco

I own the first three books but read them when I was like 17 and don't remember them very well. and just when I was on vacation and needed something to read! Thank you! Off to start the Clan of the Cave Bear!

I'm really excited for the new Poppy Z Brite!
