Off-Topic Spring Reading

[toaster]

difit, thanks for the list!

I always have plenty on my "to read" stack! Before bed I've been reading Soul Food, which is a collection of stories from different traditions. I like it, although the stories vary from a paragraph to 5-10 pages, so I never know how much time to allow. I am also about to start a novel by Elizabeth Berg, We Are All Welcome Here.

Has anyone heard Jennifer Ehle reading Pride and Prejudice on Youtube??

She's read a pretty good bit, in short segments. Wonder how far she'll go?

I timed things pretty well and got a bunch of audio books on cd from the library not long ago. Ripped the files so I can put them on my mp3 player. JK Rowling's Casual Vacancy was kind of grim, but I'm hoping Brandon Sanderson's Words of Radiance might be more fun.

I love audio books as I can listen while I do other things. Just finished Twisted Twenty six by Janet Evanovich and now I'm listening to A Letter of Mary by Laurie King.

The next books I want to read when the library opens again are Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane, The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman and then the last 5 books of the Poldark series.

Sherry, that's so nice of you. I have enough reading material to get me through May, but if libraries are not at least open for curbside checkouts in June, I may be contacting you. Did you watch Council of Dads this week? I didn't, but I have it set to record next week.

I missed it. I am waiting for our cable to put it on demand.

I don't have cable. I record from an antenna. But if I forget to record something, I stream it from the web site. NBC.com has episodes available the next day.
