Just read:
"Woe is I" by Patricia O'Connor. Fun to read and lots of great advice for fixing persistant grammar problems etc...
Reading:
"Masterpieces: The Best Science Fiction of the Century", edited by Orson Scott Card. Its as good as it sounds.
Next up:
"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

The Joy Luck Club. Amy Tan. I'd been wanting to read something by her for a long time. Has anyone read it? I've heard it's good.

Oh hey! Philo, I've heard of that book, A Short History of Nearly Everything the funny thing is, I heard about it in ANOTHER book, a fictional one and the main character was reading it. Weird!

I'm reading "Life Expectancy" by Dean Koontz. It's an interesting, fun read with some humor. I'm almost done with it.
