    I finally read assasination vacation, which i'm pretty sure you recommended to me AGES ago (was trolling through my amazon.com wishlist looking for good reads to request from the library. it was truly hilarious and i basically read it in one sitting with a glass of wine. thanks for the rec! hope you are well!

    M, I just read The Memory of Running by Ron McClarty, it is on my shelf and I reviewed it. I think you would really, really appreciate the story. It was pretty popular a few years back so you can probably get it used. My new favorite place to buy used is http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ - look for the Bargain Bin (under popular categories), you can get 3 books for $10. Hope you are staying warm up there!!

    Hey chica! I'm reading Good to Great right now! I it is pretty good. The guy who runs the St. Bernard Project recommended it to me a few months ago. I know I am endlessly sending you book recs, but I now have on my list this book I just heard about called Eye Contact, it is a murder mystery involving a kid with autism. Let me know if you read it first! Hope all is well up there!

    We should talk Stieg Larsson at book club on the 27th. I'm going to borrow the Hornet's nest one from Chris after I get through the most recent pile from the library...which should be in a month or so!!

    Was poking around on Amazon and thought of you when I saw another book by Kingsolver: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. It's about eating with the seasons, not just vegan but from ecologically sound farms. I might get it, if so will let you know! Okay, I'll stop suggesting books for you now!!!

    Do you still have Assasination Vacation or The Things They Carried? Would you be willing to do a TEMPORARY swap with Book Thief? I really do want this one back, I loved the writing and when I eventually start writing my book I want it on hand to revisit - it's THAT GOOD. Lemme know and I can bring it to book club.

    Chica I really should be on to work, but damn Amazon is leading me astray. Anyway I've been led to yet another book that I will probably purchase and wanted to let you know about it b/c the main character is a woman with Asberger's Syndrome and I think you like to read about that: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. I would suggest it for book club but I feel like I'm always suggesting these random books!! Have a good one!

    Bee Season is GREAT! Let me know when you are done reading, we can discuss. Ended up getting Anderson Cooper from the library; read it in one sitting, about a 1/3 of it was covering Katrina, I was weeping. Man, I love that man.
    Finished Breakfast of Champions. Was underwhelmed. Looking forward to seeing you then - hopefully I'll get out of work at a decent hour.
    Hope you had a good relaxing 4th weekend!

    K. You know what, that is actually a pretty good idea that the hoster gets final say
    on the reads. That was probably what happened last time and I wasn't with it
    enough to follow. Looking forward to it!

    Hey chica - have fun Sunday! Not to be annoying, but please put in my plug for Arkansas! Also, I may need to sell this to everyone, but might be easier if everyone DID join Shelfari, to manage dates and books we've read and stuff. I would be willing to get us a page set up, or at least attempt to figure it out.
    Also, in picking the next date, I could normally do Sundays at 4:30 I think, might sometimes be a little late with work. Also I forget if Tuesdays were good for everyone but I can do those now, too.
    Finally, I do really want to borrow the Anderson Cooper and Amy Tan books, sorry I forgot them! I'll pick them up sooner or later....
    Talk soon,
    v

    Hey chica, hope pool was fun. Had to get up $*# early to finish work that I avoided on Saturday. Ended up watching a Lindsey Lohan movie on ABC Family....THAT was how much in avoidance mode I was.
    Anyway wanted to say re: JazzFest benefactor, I worked at a beer booth all three days and got free admission, private staff port-o-potty and a place to put my stuff (AND a tent to sit under while raining) - they take volunteers every year so lemme know if you are interested!
    Also lemme know if you hang this coming Saturday - take care and have a lovely week, v

    Bummer that I can't come to the first gathering!! I am, of course, glad that you are not reading Arkansas. Hopefully I can garner enough votes to read that one for June...and I can attend. I did promise Miriam I'd do the thing, though, so...what are ya gonna do? Hey, text me if you go to JazzFest this weekend, we can meet up!
    Later tater, vspiz
