Booger, how is the Hiassen book going? I happened upon a book fair the other day and when I was leaving I saw the paperback version of it on sale, too. Almost kicked myself!

Right now, I'm just starting the Daily Show's Jon Stewart's book, Naked Pictures of Famous People , a collection of short pieces of satire. To be honest, I didn't really notice the title until I left it on my desk at work. It received quite the reaction! So many people asked to borrow it . . . until they realized there were no pictures in it.

I'm just finishing (I hate to be without a book Michael Moore (director of "Bowling for Columbine's) book, Stupid White Men . I would recommend it to one and all. THe first chapters deal with the election and neatly relays fact after fact of ways it *appears* President Bush's team rigged the outcome.

I'm also reading a novel, written in 1987, set both in present day and eighteenth-century Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I'm not sure how well-known this novel is but it's called Between Men by Katherine Govier.

I'm currently working on "Survival of the Fittest" -by JK

Before that, it was "Assumed Identity" (I forgot who wrote it...)

For the most part I like Stephen King -though sometimes he pisses me off by screwing up the ending.

I loved "The Green Mile" (book and movie)
-likewise with "The Langoliers"

Other than that, I like Sydney Sheldon, Lewis Caroll, C.S. Lewis...

I'm reading 'The Hobbit' for the first time. Have never read LOTR either. A *gasp* goes up from the readers. I may read those next, but I was given a stack of books and there's a mystery in the pile just calling out to me. (forget the name & author - but it sounded good) I read such a variety of books, I can't pinpoint any one as my favorite. Just like to have a book in progress all the time. Stuff it in the purse and read if caught waiting in line.

I'm a big fan of Hiassen, too. I love his rantings about overcrowding in Florida!

I started reading 'Tender is the Night' (F. Scott Fitzgerald) about a zillion years ago and never finished it so I suppose that's what I'm 'currently' reading! Although in between times I read 'Lolita' (Nabokov) which is my favourite book of all time, 'Me Talk Pretty One Day' (David Sedaris) and.... OMG loads of others I can't name right now.

My one true love is John Wyndham but it's been YEARS since I read one of his. I HAVE to pick one up again this year. It's one of my resolutions.
