Current book(s) you're reading?

Finished President Jimmy Carter's "The Virtues of Aging."

Reviewing "Fodor's 90 Hawaii" since my therapist is vacationing over there. Plus it's the Summer ;0)
Got it for .25 at a garage sale so don't care it's dated.
 
I downloaded The Complete Sherlock Holmes from IBooks yesterday and read the first story. It was free. It is also 5,698 pages.
 
I am enjoying my day off, drizzly, cool, and rainy, to read Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I really like it.
 
Finished Neil Gaiman's new novel. I loved it, but I cannot say why. Which could be why I loved it. That is, I suppose, why I always liked his books, and Garc?a M?rquez, and the like.
 
I used to want to be a novelist.
The only reasons I don't now are
1. It seems like a difficult way to make a living, and
2. I know that I would become very very very absorbed in the worlds created by my imagination.

Love Marquez and magic realism. Did you read Like Water for Chocolate?
 
'Bout to start this short novel:

The Rabbit's Cat, by Joann Sfar. There is a photo of he author and the cat who modeled for him. Remarkably long nose/muzzle on the cat.
The Dyslexic Advantage, by Eide & Eide.
 
I read most of The Clockwork Angel, but stopped because, to be honest, it got boring, seemed to be going nowhere fast. So it is back to my geek-lit: Sean Carroll's From Eternity to Here (yup, still have not finished it!), and I am about to crack open Brian Greene's The Fabric of the Cosmos and Neil deGrasse Tyson's The Space Chronicles.
 
I am very much looking forward to reading Paul Offit's Do You Believe in Magic? which is about the alternative medicine industry.

I remember hearing about this book. It sounds interesting. I'd better add it to my Kindle wish list now before I forget.
