Just about to start Stand Before Your God by Paul Watkins (a family friend). I've always wanted to read it, but have never got around to it. Interesting because we're roughly the same age, both have Welsh (UK)/Rhode Island backgrounds, etc. This book was written back in the early '90s and it's about his life being uprooted from RI and sent to a boarding school (the Dragon School) in England.

Paul's first novel (written when he was just 23) was nominated for the Booker. Nothing since then has achieved quite the same level, though he sells well and always gets good reviews. Oh, and back then MTV named him one of their top 10 eligible bachelors!! ;D  His mother was a good friend of my mother's, and is now a good friend of mine. Shortly after I moved back to Wales from RI, she decided to do the same!

Trillian, you've got 5 books on the go at once?!

I'd be getting the characters all mixed up!

It's something I've done all my life.  I need one for every mood!  I just finished A Handmaid's Tale (again).  Sometimes a book is so good, I can't stand for it to end, so I read something else to delay the inevitable.  It took me over a year to read Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood because I loved it so much.

When I am grown-up I will understand how BEAUTIFUL it feels to administrate my life effectively.

Until then I will continue to TORCH all correspondence that bores me and to dance NAKED over the remnants of its still glowing embers.

Are you reading the fiction book or the 'real' book by the French woman, that the fiction book was based on?

'Elegance,' the novel, by Kathleen Tessaro was the first book I read when I moved here, and I absolutely loved it!
and/or

I just read both (Finally)  I liked the novel, was not exactly what I thought it would be, but good just the same.  I'd like to read her next novel now as well.

My husband just bought me Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir.  I love her histories (no matter what her detractors say) and am very excited to see how she does her first work of fiction.  It's the story of Lady Jane Grey - - can't wait to read it!!
