Books! I love 'em!

I'm in a book group, so I'm "forced" to read something once a month (July's our off month, though). My book group's next selection is The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

I have a few books that I have to go back and read at least once a year:
--The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
--The Group by Mary McCarthy
--The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
--Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth (makes me laugh my ass off)
There are probably others that I'm not thinking of right now.

Right now I'm rereading the Harry Potter books. I'm on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

I've been passing my love of reading on to my kids since they were babies. My two oldest daughters (8 and 6) and I have been very active in their school's summer reading program. :)

I just started Bad Love by Jonathan Kellerman. So far, it's not too bad.
 
Hey finn, you're right. I'm having a hard time putting the book down
 
1776 by David McCullough. If I could do it all over again, I'd be a historian specializing in the American Revolution.
 
anything by Bill Bryson

. . . just finishing A Short History of Nearly Everything

but also A Walk in the Woods
A Sunburned Country
Notes From a Small Island

He's a very funny man, and he weaves lots of local history and worldly issues into essentially travel stories.
