Take a look, it's in a book...

"Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high
Take a look, it's in a book - a Reading Rainbow.
I can go anywhere!
Friends to know and ways to grow - a Reading Rainbow.
I can be anything!
Take a look, it's in a book - a Reading Rainbow!"

Who remembers that song?

I love books! But I have not read anything WONDERFUL in a long time! =(

We had our Book Club meeting for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime last weekend (thanks Anitza for hosting it at you're place--btw, when are we going to bbq & swim? =P ). Everyone else seemed to like it. Although I didn't not like this book, I didn't really care for it much either, which was a bummer. I've been needing a really good read, and everything I've come accross lately has only been mediocre (any suggestions?). Our new pick is The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, and it sounds pretty interesting. After this one, we're going to try to read by genre--next up is a classic or fantasy novel.
Aside from the Book Club reading, I'm also in the middle of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. I'll let you know if any of these turns out to be a spectacular read.
