Eat Drink Love. I'm reading it for my book club.

I just read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult - a contender for my favorite book ever.

That book is so awesome; I read it twice a year... always once at XMAS time.

I finished this weekend and was a bit disappointed; the way he writes I could have read about a whole other book's worth of it. Have you read Son of the Circus? Hilarious.

Oh SS you're my favorite DB of all time. You have an unhealthy obsession for coming across like a complete ass, don't you?

It's interesting, though repetative. I found it took me a while to read as the plot didn't move along as quickly as I would have liked. Luckily, there were loads of weird instances to keep me entertained enoough to finish it.

I am reading a biography of Che Guevara. Extremely interesting stuff.

Because A Fire Was In My Head- Lynn Stegner

**MarieAntoinette** · March 12th, 2008, 01:38 AM

I'm reading One Houndred Years of Solitude by Marquez. I wanted to read this book for a very long time, I think the writing is very original and it gives off a certain vibe... you can really imagine what the village is like. However, I do find it a bit confusing not to forget who is who since the male protagonists share similar / same names.

Before that I read a collection of short stories that somehow connected with each other by Simone De Beauvoir. I believe the title was something like "Chantal, Lisa, Marcelle".

Oh God. She called me a soda-and-Splenda addict. That stings.

The Bulging Eyes smiley speaks for itself. I'd said more initially...to the effect that it is absurd that the drama from other threads has to spill into one as benign and peaceful as the Book Thread.

The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Sarah Churchwell. I highly recommend it. She deconstructs how we (the public and writers/films) have constructed Marilyn Monroe. A must for any Marilyn fan!

Annabel Goldsmith's autobiography. Good reading.

**McJag** · March 13th, 2008, 01:16 PM

I just finished Chore Whore that I actually found mentioned in some thread here-can't even remember which one-believe it was in a link. Anyhow, I really liked it and lots of you would too. It is fiction,about a Hollywood Personal Assistant and she says 98% true! By Heather H.Howard. I ordered it from Amazon!

Mine Till Midnight by Lisa Kleypas

It gets even more confusing when you read his other books because alot of the characters are the same people just with different names. It totally fucks with me since I've read Love In The Time of Cholera and Live To Tell The Tale. One Hundread Years of Solitude is like an awesome primer for all his other books.
