Lady Lazarus... one of my favorite poems.

Just finished reading Stalking Susan. I am sad to say it was predictable and I expected more.

The Boys From Dolores by Patrick Symmes

it's very good, it follows the revolution in cuba through the lives of the classmates of fidel and raul castro at the jesuit dolores school

The Brimstone Wedding is my favorite by Vine. As Ruth Renell, A Judgement in Stone is the best, imo.

Those are great books, too. I love all her books. And I just realized I called it The Birthday Party instead of The Birthday Present.

Now I'm onto Returning to Earth by Jim Harrison. He's one of my favourite American writers.

^^Lol, and I just realized I spelled "Rendell" wrong.

Just finished Undead and Unemployed.

Hilarious. The protagonist is my favorite in a long time.

Reading V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic.

^^Wow that's an oldie but a goodie. I remember reading it as a child and being totally creeped out. Loved it!

It was not unusual for me to read completely inappropriate material when I was a kid.

I read The Exorcist when I was ten. (and slept with my mother for the next two years!)

When You Are Engulfed in Flames by Sedaris. Makes me lol as much as I did during Me Talk Pretty.

Margaret Atwood: The Blind Assassin.
Brilliant.

I just finished this (Life With My Sister Madonna by Christopher Ciccone). I wasn't planning on reading it, but my sister lent it to me. No real shockers in it like Sandcastles said but I did enjoy reading about Madonna's glory days back in the late 80s/90s.
