It's funny that I should be reading those two books at the same time...Both, with travellers (Robert Walton & de Saint-Exup?ry), whom, when faced with peril meet apparitions (Vincent & The little prince) with a fascinating story to tell.
i'm not currently reading anything, but about a week ago i finished reading the 13th juror by john lescroart. it's nothin' too special, but not a bad read.
& The Modern Girl's Guide To Life - Jane Buckingham
It's a collection of practical advice to charm me, for fun...But, besides...I don't know the answer to everything, and it adds to what I've already got. Like, e.g.: How to cook a soft boiled egg to perfection vs. How to cook a hard boiled egg to perfection...
MsPisces, I read that book too. I thought it was brilliant. I love stories about people coming to America trying to make something of themselves. Only Anne of the other three becomes famous in the end. Kind of a chick book but it was good. They made a movie about it in the 60's but I never saw that. Old book but a good one.
the biography of Lady Rochester [Jane (Parker) Boleyn];
Uncle Tom's cabin [I started it in the 8th grade and our teacher took it away because she couldn't handle reading it - I found a bunch of classics and picked them up, including this];
Just finished reading House of the Dead by Dostoyevsky, pretty good book goes into a lot of detail.
Two years ago I read Eaters of the Dead aka The Thirteenth Warrior from Michael Crichton. Saw some guy reading it on the bus and wanted to get it, really good book.
