I just finished rereading Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere", and next is probably an early Neal Stephenson book called "The Big U".
I'm hacking my way through Film and The Anarchist Imagination, some Lorca poetry, and some Anton Chekhov short stories.
See, I do read, just too many things at once because my tastes constantly change.

"How To Become A Schizophrenic: The Case Against Biological Psychology" by John Modrow. Also "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin.
We is probably the best novel I've read in the past year.
how is it? i've heard mixed reviews....
Edgeworks Volume 2 by Harlan Ellison.
I've been meaning to start Love in the Time of Cholera, which has the most awesome title of anything ever.
"Children of the Mind" by Orson Scott Cardv (3rd, and so far my least favorite, in the Ender's trilogy)
&
"Speaking the Unspeakable: Marital Violence among South Asian Immigrants in the United States" by Margaret Abraham
&
(rereading) "A Wrinkle in Time" Madeleine L'engle

I've never read any Orson Scott Card, but I used to adore Madeleine L'engle. I remember the scene with all the houses exactly alike and the children in front of them all skipping rope to the exact same rhythm . . .
just finished the queen of whale cay (about joe carstairs who was this cross-dressing lesbian who bought her own island and had her own little fantasy world; maybe you already know about her, but i didn't until i found the book.) right now i'm reading the autobiography of alice b. toklas by gertie. also the tipping point (about why people do things en masse and orginals which is about american women artists.
My favorite Gertrude Stein book is Ida: A Novel. If you haven't read that, don't miss it.
I'm not familiar with Joe Carstairs, but it certainly sounds interesting.

just finished re-reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck and, of necessity, the King James bible (ah, Steinbeck...). Am now reading Stones from the River by Ursula Heigi.
Stones from the River was fantastic! I adore that book.
At the moment, The Prime of Life by Simone de Beauvoir. My goal is to read the entire four volumes of her autobiography (and this one is book 2.)

Yes, there is still QBC chat and it takes place on AIM every Sunday now. It's in session right at this moment, in case you want to come!
Non-fiction: Travels in Hyperreality by Umberto Eco.
Fiction: Black Projects White Knights by Kage Baker (excellent time travel SF).
And I just finished Cerulean Sins by Laurel K. Hamilton (amazingly trashy vampire fiction).

And I just finished Cerulean Sins by Laurel K. Hamilton (amazingly trashy vampire fiction).
Kage Baker wrote another book? Yay! I love those time travel books. And they seem to be building up to some grand climax.
I gave up on the Laurel Hamilton books a while ago... I really liked the early ones, but the more recent additions to the series were just too tawdry.

i'm reading americana by don delillo, which i'm enjoying much more than i expected to.

I haven't read that one yet, only others by him.
I'm reading Food of the Gods (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=544WKC5QAN&isbn=0553371304&itm=1), by Terence McKenna.
Also, the Book of Mormon.

vladimir Nabakov: the american years by brian boyd
Ancient Iraq by Georges Roux, The British Museum Book of Ancient Egypt, Towing Jehovah by James Morrow, and Race, Resistance and the Ainu of Japan by Richard Saddle. Only the Morrow book is not for class. Still, I plan to have a terribly entertaining summer, I got Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy from the library as well as the two sequels to Towing Jehovah.
Jean Vercors, Le Silence de la mer, Vasily Shukshin, Stories From a Siberian Village, and Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake (just finished). Oryx is fabulous.
I haven't read that particular book yet, but I definitely like Margaret Atwood.
"The Idiot And His Friend Are Allowed To Live" "by Salman Rushdie"

I'm finally back to reading Gödel, Escher, Bach by Douglas R. Hofstadter. I started it way back near the beginning of the year, but I ended up being too busy and haven't read any of it for months.
I just finished Christopher Pike's The Blind Mirror. I'm rereading bits and pieces because it's the kind of book that begs for it.
Next on my list is either The Mask of Apollo by Mary Renault, or Henry James' The American.

I just finished Couldn't Keep It To Myself.. it's a collection of memoirs from female prisoners taught by Wally Lamb, and it was startlingly good. So sad, but so vivid, everything they've been through.. every single one of them was sexually abused at some point in her life. It was so awful.
falling angels by tracy chevalier. but i just finished tipping the velvet.
