The female brain one seems interesting. But I am also reading a book that has a lot to do with the brain, its called sex on the brain( i think I may have mentioned it here before).

I wish I could read. wow...that sounds ignorant huh? lol! I mean, I wish I had the time to read!! Between .oni, laundry, feeling sick, cleaning the house, and .oni(hahaha), I just can't do it. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I pass out, so reading before bed is out. I haven't read in soooooo long!!! SInce I was preggy with .oni. Do parenting and baby magazines count? lol! Sarah

lol, sarah! it's the same with me. all i have time to read are parenting magazines and entertainment weekly (and i can't even keep up with that one!). i keep them in the bathroom and read a page or two every time i'm in there, i call it "the library". nick did buy me a book i'd mentioned a while back and i just don't have the time to get into it right now. it's call ".l.a.m.b. the gospel according to biff, christ's childhood pal". if you're looking for recommendations, i love jodi picoult (especially keeping faith and second glance) and elinor lipman (my favorite is the inn at lake devine). oh, billie letts is really good too. she wrote where the heart is, and her other two are wicked good too. i wish she'd write more.

I read a lot. I'm mostly into classic literature - I love .F. Scott .Fitzgerald, .Lolita, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha... I love books by .Toni .Morrison (she wrote .Beloved), and .Frank .McCourt, who wrote .Angela's .Ashes. I got to meet him when he gave a reading at .Queens .College last year! Terra, if you're looking for a good summer read, try .Summer .Sisters, by .Judy .Blume. It's one of her adult books, and it's a favorite of mine.

Orchid Beach; Orchid Blues, Blood Orchid; Iron Orchid by Stuart Woods (the holly barker novels) the Stone Barrington novels by stuart woods some girl(s) by neil labute (it's a play, but it's dam* good) whirligig (don't remember the author) the secret life of bees (can't remember the author) a child called it by dave pelzer I know why the caged bird sings by maya angelou And if you're looking for teenage trash that you can knock out in less than two hours per book, look in to the gossip girl series by cecily vonsomething, and the a-list series by [drawing a blank]
