Looks like I'll have to get up there and try some of your Skinny B%#*@ in the Kitch cooking! I'm on sabbatical so I really have no excuse except the fact that my income is also on sabbatical!!

Omg. that's a whole lot of books. i can't belive it. you must of had a real adventure reading all those books. i am only 11 and i have not read that many books yet. i am not even close. i hope soon i could get to read that many books just like you. i'm part of a big family so it's always hectic. if you have any tips for me to start reading more please get back to me. it's really hard for me to read sometimes. 2 reasons. there is no where to read. i need quiet. there is a lot of people in my house. 2nd, it's hard for me to understand sometimes because i have a little trouble in school somtimes. sooo it's hard for me to understand. so please give me some tips. thank you!!!!!!!!!!

I saw that you put Bonk on your "book" list. So did I. How could we not, what a great title. Here is my review. Interested in girls perspective.Bonk / Mary RoachA rollicking and random “bonking” through the up and down and down and dirty of all things sexual. Sure it is science writing, in the same way that Andy Rooney is a serious news reporter. Roach writes to both enlighten and to throw an eyebrow. Often her writing and wit are so sharp that she over delivers on both. The sexual enlightenment is so very, very vivid it is cringe worthy to the point of leg crossing. If you don’t yell, “Ouch!, Gross! Too Much! and Wait a Minute!” at least ten times, you’re less of a prig and a prude than this pecker-head. Amazingly for the smarmy subject she covers, her writing is never disrespectful to the topic at hand (pun intended). Some times the detail is uncomfortable to the point of nausea... but never disrespectful. Conclusion: A very strange mix; the bedfellows of hard science and hard-ons. There was way too much science for the merely sexually curious and a way too much devotion and detail focused on the sexually bizarre to be taken scientifically serious. What can I say, Mary Roach sent me all a twitter.

Hope you like mysteries. That's about all I have on my shelf. Sheesh! I really need to expand my library. You need to check out Squids Will Be Squids. Zoe brought that book home 3 times from the library. It's her favorite book even though it's little morals and fables that are over her head. I recommend it!

Hi again! Also saw that you just read Barrel Fever, which is fortuitous b/c my next door neighbor just loaned it to me. You gave it four stars, so I'm looking forward to it! I don't know what it is with me and short stories lately, but I'm really enjoying them. Happy Friday, Vanessa

I just wanted to thank you so much for leading me to Hotel of the Saints. I just finished the last story ("Lower Crossing" - about Basil the dog...soooo moving) and have to say that it is one of the best collections I've ever read. Hope all is well with you. - Vanessa
