I'm re-reading Class Matters (New York Times compilation). It's a very interesting read, particularly in our current economic state.

ETA: Apparently, it's available on the NYT website.

Just finished "The Big Oyster" by Mark Kurlansky - history of New York, and "Hands of My Father" by Myron Uhlberg - autobiography of a hearing child of deaf parents born in the Depression - a great story!

Dark Matter: A Century of Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora.

Friday Night Lights by H.G. Bissinger for my Sports Lit class :)

The Whole Truth - David Baldacci's latest paperback.

your class should read Dixieland Delight, too. it's about SEC football.

the author wrote for cbs sports, too. here's an excerpt from the book:

The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

Letters to a Young Brother: MANifest Your Destiny by Hill Harper

Bass Ackwards and Belly Up, it's a great light read :) I also started Mirror, Mirror which is by the same author who wrote Wicked but about Snow White.

when you are engulfed in flames by david sedaris.

Fun book!

I'm still reading Wicked. For some reason, it's been a hard book for me to read. I don't know if i'm just not into it, or if it's the way he writes.

I still haven't read Mirror, Mirror - I read the one based on Cinderella... it was okay. I loved Wicked.

I had a really hard time with "Wicked", too. I read it, but couldn't tell you hardly anything about it after I finished. I had the same problem with Toni Morrison's "Beloved".

eta: I know book titles are supposed to be underlined, not quoted. Everytime I try to underline one thing, everything else ends up underlined.
