Yes, Robin, Eclipse is still calling out to me, and wanting to jump the queue. But what’s interesting is that another book that arrived today is calling out to me even more loudly: an ARC of Gabrielle Zevin’s Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac (with thanks to Jules). This one is on the verge of making me drop my half-completed, old favorite title, to check it out. Very mysterious, this power that certain books have.

@patrick. i’m on my third re-read. it’s soooo deep i want to make sure i pick up on all the cabalic symbolism. i’m thinking of translating it into the sanskrit.

i did read “bird by bird” (though not this week, or last)and enjoyed it much.

I am late. Was at the coast with members of my book club. We were there to decide books for the coming year. The Kingsolver book came up but we passed on it. I think I will check out the audio.
I got The Secret of the Old Clock read and The Giant Rat of Sumatra. Two more from the ambitious list made earlier this summer.

Robin, thanks for sharing the Animal, Vegetable, Mineral website. I am intrigued by the recipe for zucchini chocolate chip cookies.

Jules, I just started reading Owlboy with my little boys. They laughed so hard at the nicknames on page 7!

I finally finished My Sister’s Keeper. It involved a lot of sobbing.

Sigh.
I didn’t get to read anything this weekend either. But! I did send a manuscript to my editor today!

So now my life will get a lot better and include other people’s books. Whoo hoo!

Little Willow, I love how specific you are. “Today I shall read . . .” when I know you read more in a week than any of us mere mortals.
