Are Men Necessary? by Maureen Dowd.

When I'm done, I'll let y'all know if men actually are necessary. The jury's still out.  ;)

I have got my rope ready if we're surplus to requirement
Still tired of coteries and bans. But hanging about anyway.

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.

I do the same too, Trillian. I can read quite a few at a time. I think the most I've ever read at once was about 10. I must've been a bit mad.

Anyway, I'm currently reading Wideacre by Philippa Gregory, but am almost finished. The next two will be The Favoured Child and Meridon.

Finished The God of Small Things and was so saddened by it. A beautiful and very, very sad book. Now I've just started, Broke Heart Blues. It's the first book by Joyce Carol Oates I've read, I think, and so far I'm liking it a lot!

'The Pirates!  In an adventure with Ahab', again by Gideon Defoe.  The previous book ('The Pirates! In an adventure with Scientists') was a very cute, very light read, starring a Pirate Captain, Charles Darwin, and an evil Archbishop.  If you're looking for something not terribly thought provoking and truthfully a bit silly, I can recommend these!

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.

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown.  It's excellent...I can hardly put it down!  I read the prequel Angels and Demons a few years ago and am finally getting around to this one.  Mainly, I was forced to take it off my shelf so I can finish it before the movie comes out in a few weeks  :D  It is excellent though, I am almost sorry I waited so long!

I finally started a book!  Duet by Carol Shields.  Good ole Carol Shields. she is such a good writer.  When i read one of her books, it's like an old friend is talking to me!
