i just finished my secret garden this morning. written by nancy friday, it's the first book written by a woman to compile and explore the realm of female sexual fantasy. i enjoyed some of it. a bit antiquated and slightly exclusive, it even had some undertones of racism. but considering when it was first written, it does a good job of exploring sexual fantasy without casting judgment. some of the women's stories broke my heart and others shocked, but it was nevertheless fascinating and i could literally feel how much empowerment and relief some of these women felt just by being able to write down some of their most private thoughts and know that they aren't "freaks." i have two more by her on stand-by (forbidden flowers and women on top).

I've read Nancy Fridays, collection of men's fantasies called, Men in Love. Which I believe she had compiled and written after the first three. If found it fascinating. The spousal unit read it too, but yet, he didn't want to discuss any of it. What I like is the divine amount of detail the men have in their fantasies.

I just started Prisoners in Paradise by Akmal Shebl, a supernatural mystery in Egypt. I'd never found a book with a trailer ... until now. I am hoping it delivers.

The latest edition of Blue and Gold Illustrated. It's the weekly newspaper that covers Notre Dame football.

Haven't started any new books recently. :(

i've read too many to list recenly, some research some fiction some non - the new blue media was interesting but dry and a bit "insider". the view from the seventh layer - a collection of short stories - i loved. those are the only two that stand out right now.

still waiting for bonk (too lazy to put it on hold, too cheap to buy it:p)

Just started rereading The Fellowship Of The Rings. After watch the movies last week I realized it had been almost 20 years since I had read the book and figured it was high time I did again.

Bully for you! A powerful beginning of a modern classic.

The Fat Jesus: Christianity and Body Image, by Lisa Isherwood.

The premise is fascinating, and rings true to me. However, the writing is really dense academese...I'm giving her one more chapter to hook me.

I've finally made it to the 6th book in the Wheel of Time. It's taken me a year to get here.

I'm reading Stephen King's new short story compilation and Dewey the Library Cat.

I just started rereading The Servants of Twilight by Dean Koontz. I've read, but it was years ago. I've just barely started it, and already it's sucking me in, lol.

Well, I just bought two books: "The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder" by Vincent Bugliosi and "Shadowfires" by Dean Koontz, and I plan on starting them both this weekend.

"Why We Suck"---Dr. Denis Leary

I'm going through a world war 2 phase right now - reading "Ghost Soldiers" about a prison rescue in Bataan. And I just finished Pacifc War Diary.

Antony and Cleopatra: A Novel, by Colleen McCullough. I've read her entire Rome series, which was supposed to end with October Horse, so I was excited to find this new one.

The Ghost Brigade, the sequel to Old Man's War.
