    Reading "The Rule of Four." It's pretty good. It's a kind of Hardy Boys meets the Da Vinci Code kinda thing, but still pretty good.

    I put it down halfway thorugh in favor of some more James Patterson books. I think I'll try to tackle Grisham's "Bleachers" before I pick that snoozer back up again.

    It does take a while to get moving. Once you start to understand what the big secret is, it starts to pick up pace.

    I moved right after last Christmas, & am finally getting all my books unpacked--some that have been stored in boxes for several years. Just rediscovered the gem, Asshole No More: A Self-Help Guide for Recovering Assholes--and Their Victims, by Xavier Crement, M.D. :rofl:

    From the back-cover blurb: "If you can't think of at least 12 people to give this book to, then don't buy it. (Someone else will probably give it to you.)"

    Among the chapters: Intensities of Assholism; Varieties of Assholes; When Society Becomes an Asshole; Working with Assholes; When a Friend is an Asshole . . . .

    Just when the assholes in my life were proliferating out of control, what a serendipitous find! :D

    I just picked up "Me Talk Pretty One Day" because it was cheap and the name sounded familiar. THe cover doesnt really explain it. Anyone read it, know what it's about?

    I just got done reading "Things You Can Do While Masturbating."

    Very cool book. I never knew it but you can actually beat off while flying a kite. Or while power washing the deck. there was a while chapter on household tasks women can perform while pleasuring themselves with vegetables and/or utensils.

    It's a collection of essays--very highly acclaimed, as all of David Sedaris's books are. I haven't read that one yet, but have read others of his & loved them. He tends to write about ordinary, everyday stuff--like his family--& capture the poignant as well as the absurd & hilarious. Let me know what you think.
