Ditto on Fannie Flagg!
I'm reading Nelson Demille's Wild Fire, I have no fingernails left

I just finished Who Cooked The Last Supper - A woman's history of the world.
Very good book, but it'll piss you off to no end.

David Sedaris: Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
starting this again, since it is one of the several books laying around that I started but never finished.

It's kind of funny...I feel like once I became an English teacher, it sucked the joy out of reading for me! I have some natural compulsion to read, though, because every time a new book comes out that sounds remotely interesting to me, I buy it...and thus, have a bookshelf full of more unread than read books. I did make a resolution this year to try to read a little bit every day...but trying to teach the brilliance of Of Mice and Men to 8th graders who give you blank stares is just more discouraging than you could imagine...
In any case, right now I am reading something a little different than my usual selections and I'm really enjoying it! I picked up The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians...it is so informative and has an amazing voice throughout it. I'm looking forward to starting a family (hopefully this summer) and I want to be as well prepared as possible.

I just started reading the first "Twilight" book. I have been hesitant to pick up anything really pertaining to fantasy/sci-fi kinda stuff after I finished reading the Harry Potter series. I did not think I would be able to find something else that compared. But after seeing the first two movies I am ready to start reading the series. We have the first 3 books at home, and my daughter is reading the 3rd one now, "Eclipse" so by the time she finishes it, I should be ready for it. I read fast, and should get through Twilight and New Moon in just a few weeks, maybe sooner.

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. She wrote about her experiences and what she learned during a year of traveling in Italy, India, and Indonesia. I like it okay so far...but she seems a little whiney for someone who had such a magnificent opportunity.

Yes... lol. A little whiney 'round the edges! If you can get past that, it's a fun book.

It's been one of those reads where on one page I'm pulling out post-it notes to mark something I want to reread...and on the next I want to shout "stop whining!". But it's certainly making me think so all in all I'm guessing it'll be a keeper. Originally Posted by frangipani

I was reading it while I was down in FL last month dealing with my father, the hoarder. After a day of dealing with the chaos that is his life, I would go back to the hotel and read that book. It was a life-saver! I would "go to that still place" inside, meditate a bit, and get a good night's sleep.

I haven't finished Eat Pray Love yet... it's one of those books that I read a bit of, and then I think about it...come back to it a few days later.

Another one by Sarah Waters >_> This one's only half lesby fiction though. There's a hetero couple in it. And a gay boy...at least, I suspect. He wanked off in prison to thoughts of his bunk mate...but maybe that's just a prison thing??
"The Night Watch"
Beautiful, so far. Have I mentioned that I'm in love with this woman's writing?

I just finished Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil because I'm working on a new novel set in Savannah (which is where Midnight... takes place). I also plan to take a road trip one of these days to do some in-person research!

The Curvemag Community boards are a private forum created to establish a cozy community among lesbian, bi, and questioning women and our allies. Our boards are moderated to help us achieve this goal and we ask that everyone respect the following rules:
1. Add something real to the mix. In most areas, one-liners and "me too" statements aren't enough to really get a conversation going. Longer, more substantial posts give others more of a sense of who you are and where you're coming from.
2. Don't be a bigot. Slanderous, defamatory, violent, abusive, insulting, threatening or harassing comments directed at individuals or groups of people are not tolerated.
3. Don't spam us. Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes and other solicitations will be deleted. Period. If you have an announcement of legitimate interest to lesbians, post it to our announcements area only. Signatures may not contain url's or links to external sites.
4. Don't spam our members. Contacting a member privately without her express permission is inappropriate. (Instead, ask her permission by posting your request on the boards.) Don't email our members without their public permission.

5. Stay with the subject at hand. It's not cool to throw an established conversation off-topic, but you can create a new topic if you like.
6. Keep it clean. Our boards are about building community. Sexually inappropriate messages will be deleted.
Folks who violate our rules may lose their posting privileges. Inappropriate posts can be removed by our moderators.
