Currently I'm reading Lucy Sullivan is Getting Married, A Supreme Conflict, and The Alexandria Link. I usually read two or three books a week on the bus and before bed.

Acceptance by Susan Coll.

This is a really funny work of fiction. It is a look at the college admissions process of three families and a stressed-out admissions counselor at a LAC that has just moved into the top 50 on the US News rankings through a data calculation error. The HS is supposedly in Montgomery County but it could be any upscale suburban school. I was on the waitlist for this book for a month but it was worth it!

Mostly legal texts, obviously, because of law school, but I finally finished The Beer and Whiskey League: The Illustrated History of the American Association. It's about the early days of baseball in the American Association, its fight with the National League, and the players who made up the league. I'm a baseball geek, so the information is very good; however, the authors get a bit overboard at times in complaining about the better AA players not being in the Hall of Fame.

There IS no bad book by Baldacci! I was hesitant about The Christmas Train and Wish You Well, because they were out of his normal genre, but they were good, too!

I want to have his babies.

the secret...
well its short, so i read it (i saw the movie, and its basically the movie, just in print) but i've been flipping through it almost everyday
i recommend it, a little cheesy at times, but the message is awesome

uummm, judging from some of the other books, should i be reading classics and bestsellers? because frankly, they bore me. unless someone has any really good suggestions.

i am about to re-read Joy Luck Club for the 4th time, and i just finished A Piece Of Cake, by Cupcake Brown. this book is absolutely stunning. everything that could happen to this woman as a child, did. she is now a top attorney in California. if anyone claims that life dealt them a bad hand, and they cant get back on top of things? read this book and i assure you, there is hope for everyone.

gosh, i feel like the kids at the end of Reading Rainbow! i always wanted to review a book on there...that was like my 10 year old fantasy! i would practice in front of the mirror lol!

I am rereading The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. It is one of my favorite books especially the story Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong. It never fails to send chills up my spine when I read that.

I'm trying to get a hold of the book Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. I want to read it b/c I've heard a lot of interesting commentary on this book.
