What are you reading?

Really enjoyed The Post-Birthday World. Very dark, sad, funny, and warming, and leaves me with a lot of questions about all the little choices I've made. Nice! 

I'm reading Shampoo Planet by Douglas Coupland. Don't know how I didn't get round to reading it when I was in the States, but, at least DH has just about everything Coupland's written.

I went through a serious Douglas Coupland period when I first moved here.  It's not that I think he's a brilliant writer.  He's just very entertaining and makes some pretty sharp observations.  I am slowly going through the series of jPod on our on demand service, and it is so strange how differently he has put it into a visual medium than I felt it was like when I read it.

We have the dvds of jpod. DH got them from amazon canada. He's pretty diehard. I agree, Coupland's not the greatest writer ever to live, but, I just like how he phrases things and makes ordinary situations seem....not so ordinary. And yes, he's very entertaining and has sharp observations.

I finished The Carlyles at Home by Thea Holme last night.

I just read Miss Ranskill Comes Home by Barbara Euphan Todd.

Now I'm reading New Moon, for a change of pace.

I've started Soul Music by Terry Prachett. Early days yet, but, it seems good!

I finished New Moon and Love All by Elizabeth Jane Howard.

I'm undecided about Juliet, Naked.

Henning Mankell's Faceless Killers and Stef Penney's The Tenderness of Wolves.

The Lightning Tree by PJ Curtis

I just started The Little Stranger. Sarah Waters is pure genius.

I was wondering about that one...

I read it. I'm just undecided about whether or not I liked it.

Oh, I loved that. Bit disappointed in the ending but even now I think/wonder about the story - thoughtfulness must be good, right?

Finished Dune and now on to Stone Cold by David Baldacci. It's pretty dire. Must. Pay. Library. Fine. so I can get some good books.
