I went to Border's to grab Bill Bryson's Notes From A Small Island, and they were out. So I called around to the three other bookstores in town, and they're all out, too! Is there some kind of run on British travelogues in Portland, Maine??

I'm re-reading Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl. It's still heartbreaking.

The copy I have now is a different edition from the one I read at school all those years ago, in this version Anne is very negative about her mother.

tremendously! I am about halfway through the book at the moment, and I cannot help but find a certain brotherhood with the author, as I can relate to moving abroad with certain expectations in one's head, and the situations that follow.

Me too! Just picked it up on the way to the beach and got through three chapters in a nanosecond! It's a great read so far!  ;D

I can't seem to focus on any book enough to read it. I think it's just because I have so much to do, but this stinks! I always read loads during the summer!  :(

I'm in about 100 pages or so and I LOVE it!  It's a great mix of biography and observations on the craft of writing.  Funny and interesting.

Just finished The Sex Lives of Cannibals and it was excellent! Highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys travelogues.

Now onto The Secret Lives of Bees which is quite mesermizing. Having a hard time putting it down!

Glover's Mistake - Nick Laird

How to Sell - Clancy Martin

Sisters & Husbands - Connie Briscoe
