Sinclair Lewis is a favorite, so right now I'm re-reading
Babbitt *pops*, by
Sinclair Lewis *pops*.
To be followed by re=reading Elmer Gantry *pops*, also by Sinclair Lewis.
which will be followed by re-reading Arrowsmith *pops*, by Sinclair Lewis
I'll end the year by reading (for the first time) It Can't Happen Here *pops*, by (surprise!), Sinclair Lewis. It's about a fascist who is elected president of the United States.
I pray it remains the work of fiction it has always been.

I'm between Liberal Fascism and Basic Economics, but honestly I cannot tear myself off of FR right now. Up till 1 or 2 am every night hoping to read some hint of a miracle...

I was reading Camel Club, by David Baldacci, until our puppy decided that he wanted to read it also. Liked that book. Good read.

Just finished “Animals in Translation” by Temple Grandin, a fascinating look at animal behaviour written by an autistic woman who made her mark creating humane slaughter house audit systems for big company’s like McDonalds. Highly reccomended.
Now alternating between “Guns, Germs, and Steel” by Jared Diamond and Josephine Tey’s Inspector Grant mysteries. I’m finding “A Shilling for Candles” particularly enjoyable.
I’m reading these on my Sony Reader. Don’t understand the fuss about iPods, but as for my Reader, the phrase “cold, dead, hands” comes to mind :D

Unfortunately, I am reading Patricia Cornwall’s “Book of the Dead.” Do NOT read this. She is getting an email from me regarding her partisan slant on everything. The serial killer is a deranged Iraq veteran who, of course, killed civilians and raped 12 year olds. That and the utterly pretentious dropping of luxury items throughout the book. Doesn’t everybody push the gas pedal on their Ferrari 430 with Jimmy Choos?

I quit reading Kasey Michaels except for her regency novels because all of her contemporary ones pushed liberal politics. I am halfway through John Adams by David McCullough, and am also reading Dick Francis and Tony Hillerman mysteries.

I have considered getting a Kindle. Do you like it? Is it easy to use/hold?
