I just started reading A Widow for One Year, by John Irving. I'm only about 100 pages in, but so far, I'm enjoying it.

Just finished The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier. It basically intertwined a modern day story and a 16th century story together. Very interesting and a good read.

I'm not starting the book "Three Junes" by Julia Glass.

I may have posted this back in the summer, not sure .. but Grisham's "The Testament" is probably one of the best books i've ever read. I just finished re-reading it (I first read it in August, thought it was good, even better the second time).

His style of writing is so smooth. I read "A time to kill" a couple years ago, I believe that was his first book .. It was a breeze to get through

I'm currently reading The Cure by Sonia Levitin. A very interesting book that takes place in the future and partly in the past. Pretty much worthwhile to read through so far.

that is totally insane (I almost wrote something I shouldn't) I read Clems chances just recently, it was great.

(oh and Linkin park does rule, I saw them on that MTV show couple weeks back where a girl got picked and got to go to there show and also hang with them, really nice guys)

Thanks for pointing out my dorkiness, Paulie.

Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood

I'll confess, it's my second time through, but it's a great book!

I'm taking a Children's Lit class right now, so I am reading alot of kid's books....although, you wouldn't believe how comforting it can be to revisit one of those long-forgotten favorites....ie, Beverly Cleary, Judy Blume, Dr. Seuss (I looove Dr. Seuss), etc. etc.
