Whatcha Readin'?

[Mr Yuck]

I just finished reading Three by tedd dekker, man, that book was crazy.

I was expecting that it would be predictable, that's what it seemed to me, but then about 3/4 of the way through I started thinking "what the..." then "oh" then "what the" again.

I ended up reading it in 3 days...2 days to read 2 chapters...then today the rest...it was that good..

hmmm....right this minute?

2 photoshop books that I'm kinda reading.
Cottage gardening...we are getting ready to dig up the side of our house, so I want to be ready.
Recently finished the first 3 Lemony Snickets
recently finished some business type books, marketing, selling that kind of thing.
Also, a variety of cookbooks, I actually like to read them just to read them.
Recently finished French Women don't get Fat. Kelly, it was pretty good. Not necessarily self-help, but memoir type thing.

My reading stratagy....unless I have a certain book in mind (which I write down in a small notebook, I have a running list) I go to the library and cruise the new release section. Pick up two or three, I've gotten some really good ones, and some not so good ones. But I found that I was leaning towards the same stories with different characters, so I started this method.

I read quickly, and I read frequently, so I tend to hit the library at least once a week. I'll also hang out at barnes and nobles for a few hours in the evening, probably every other month or so.

I just finished reading "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova...I didn't think it'd be able to live up to the pre-release hype, especially since I'm not a fan of modern fiction, but I loved this book. Being a student of history, I was very impressed with her attention to detail. A lot of people compare this to the Da Vinci Code (a book I absolutely hated), but I think that's an insult to Kostova's work...

I just finished "The Singular Mark Twain" by Fred Kaplin. A very detailed biography. It took me 6 months of lunch breaks at work to get thru it. I hate to ruin it for you, but he dies at the end. ;)
