Currently reading This Other Eden by my lookalike (or so people keep telling me), Ben Elton.

I read Live and let die over the vacation. I had no idea what it would be about form the movie. Kind of an exciting premise Pirate Gold! A little bit raciest for todays audience

I recently read Harry Potter 5, and the movie version should have been longer.

Confession time: I have not read any of the Harry Potter books (:shock:. I know, but true!) so I didn't get a reference that my sister-in-law posted on my Facebook.

I just read this book, I really liked it even though I never got Greek mythology when I had to learn it.

WE are going to take the kids to see it next weekend if it is still in the theaters.

I liked the book enough I am going to pick up the rest of the series from Sams club this week,

Currently reading Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton and also a copy of The Wind in the Willows that I downloaded as a PDF from somewhere. I never read it as a kid, and was curious to see what I'd been missing all these years. In addition, I borrowed a bunch of books on folklore as research for something I'm writing and am plowing through those whenever I have the time.
