So...what's everyone reading?

Geez.

They wouldn't be so bad if she didn't nearly cut and paste a descriptive tagline for each recurring character.  I guess it's easy to put out so many books when you cut and paste so much.

but that's how homer described characters! You can't give her grief for following epic tradition!

ok, yeah, I guess you can.

Mr_Pleasington: Have you read any other books by the author of Wicked? I recently finished Lost which was really good. Not at all what I thought it was going to be from the jacket blurb. Still need to get to Mirror, Mirror and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

Gregory Maguire, by the way.

Confessions is quite good. I've started Wicked before but hadn't been able to get into it, but then I'm not a big Wizard of Oz fan. And I just haven't gotten around to looking at Mirror, Mirror.

[Dex1138]

Yeah, I was just too lazy to look it up Wicked can be hard to get into even if you're a fan. I've never read Oz but I'm guessing it deals more with the book than the movie.

No budget for new books until the beginning of November.  So I'm re-reading "Beggars in Spain", which is one of my favorites.  Thought the other two books were crap, though.

So, I'm in a non-fiction phase for the next year. (well, it's been a few months so only until next May.)  Is there a place to post reviews of non-fiction books? I've found some good ones and would like to hear of others.  

But, then, is this site the proper forum?

[stacer]

Quite a few people have reviewed nonfiction before.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

Yeah, we've done a few history books. Just submit it and put it in the "book" category
