My dad is actually reading The Books now! He's not as obsessed as my mom and I, but he is enjoying them. I'm still working on Looking Backward 2000-1887. I'm thinking it will make a great partner book w/1984. Both books look forward to the future, but one creates a Utopian society and the other a dystopia. Lots of good discussions in AP should result.

I am buying another Outlander right now for my sister. She's 15, I hope she loves "the books" as much as I do.

I am deep into "The Mermaid Chair" by Sue Monk Kidd. I am loving this book. Her writing is beyond magical.

Panda what type of books do you enjoy? I tend to follow authors. If I like an author I have to read EVERYTHING they ever wrote.

I just finished Rita Rudner's book and had a few laughs with it. Now reading The House at Riverton by Kate Morton.

Finished "The Mermaid Chair"...couldn't put it down or stop thinking about it once I had. Great read. I have a whole stack of Grisham books waiting to be read, but have been warned not to read them back to back...so I'm going to read one every so often. I started "The Brethren" yesterday and am totally enjoying it.

The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston. Very interesting true story about Florence Italy and how they coped with their first serial killer. In fact Thomas Harris based his character Hannibal Lecter on this serial killer. The book deals mainly with the manipulations of the Italian Police and Court to blame the murders on who they wanted instead of the actual killer.

I think of Roger as far more scholarly. I still like Adam Brody for him.

Emmy I read that not long ago, it's terrific. I also met Victoria at the Daytime Emmy's about 15 years ago and she mentioned working on the book. I told her as a former foster child I was very moved by the fact we had that in common.

The Art of Racing in the Rain. Garth Stein. This is truly an "I don't want to put it down" book. It is too good. Dog lovers, be prepared to fall in love with Enzo as he tells his family's story.

Mamie, I finished The Hot Flash Club Strikes Again, and will be starting the next H.F.C. book probably tonight. I still have trouble keeping all the main characters straight in my head all the time, but it's definitely an enjoyable read.

Last night I finished The Mermaid Chair. Wow. I loved it. Sue Monk Kidd is an amazing storyteller. I'm now starting on The Sugar Queen by Sarah Addison Allen.

Oh Teach, that's him! I think that Adam Brody is too young for Roger. I like him as Ian or a young Fergus.
