What is everyone currently reading? I still have a whole room full of Koontz and King, so I read them a lot! Laughing Now I am reading Shakespeare, The Comedy Full of Errors right now.

Well, I was going to buy a opera overview book today, but I wasn't too pleased with the author's CD recommendations, so I left it on the rack. Wink

I got a book for Christmas called 'The Rivals'. It's about the rivalry between Evert and Navratilova. So far it has been a very good read.

I've moved on to Macbeth. I was reading The Stand (King) for a bit, but stopped for Macbeth.

Not a book, but has anyone read The Lottery by Shirley Jackson before?

Yes, I have, it's quite an odd story. Lottery is not all you expect it to be, it's quite creepy actually.

I read Anna Karenina not too long ago. I just finished Great Expectations. I started Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte a couple of days ago.

I've been in between couple of books. At school I'm reading Animal Farm. It's pretty good actually.

Well.... all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others!! ( Great book!)

I just got a hold of someone's autobiography and I started reading it. It is so interesting. My mom happened to have met the son of the author who gave her the book. The book is called "My Life - Biographical Historical Recollecions by Demetris G. Karampas"
He was born in 1901 and died in 1996. It is like reading the 20th century history in the eyes of a man who fought in two World Wars... so interesting!

I read all the time....about a book or two a week....mostly 20th Century U.S. History...which makes sense since I'm a 20th Century Historian....I'm reading
Richard Reeves President Nixon: Alone in the White House
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich
Ellis' His Majesty an insightful lood at George Washington.

These books and my research keep me pretty busy.
