3 days ago i finished salem falls - jodi picoult. i loved it.
a hot male soccer coach who works at an all girl school gets accused of having sex with one of the students. he went to jail for 8 months, then moved, registered as a sex offender, people found out. then he gets accused of raping a girl and goes to trial. he didn't do either of the things he was accused of. the crucible was mentioned a lot cuz it was a similar story. also the dude is a beast at jeopardy.
i went with my mother when she did her girl scouts stuff, and other parents ALWAYS feel the need to talk to me. i was on a bench reading and they came up to me and asked what i was reading. i showed them and they were like "oh my gosh WE read one of her books. oh man i can't remember what it was called, do you remember, [other parent]?' 'oh gee no i can't remember'
then i said 'you probably read my sister's keeper' then they were like 'OH MY GOOOOSH that was the one!' then the lady kept going on and on about how it made her think. ugh i hate stupid mothers that talk to me all the freaking time. sfcfbtntstfu.

then the next day i read a separate peace - john knowles. it was good, but i was told there would be gay stuff in there but there wasn't any.

and now i'm about to finish picture perfect by picoult. an anthropologist who is married to the hottest actor ever gets hurt and forgets all her memory. she slowly gains it back. it's not the best, but it's pretty good.

Just finished "the Watchmen" graphic novel and "No country for old men"

Now reading "Against the Day" Thomas Pynchon.

Not sure how I feel about him anymore -- really liked "the Crying of Lot 49", "V.", and "Vineland", but the rest of his stuff is so freaking long/dense/rambling/character-filled that it's a lot of work to get anything out of it.

I just started reading Dies the Fire by S. M. Sterling.

Apocalyptic world kind of book.

So far, interesting, but not the equal to Ariel by Steven R. Boyett.

ACK!

I still don't know who I'm going to vote for, and California votes in just a few weeks.

I finished Chapter 2 last night. This is one very impressive guy.

Kleopatra by Wolfgang Schuller, seems to be quite bad history book so far.
