Prodigal Summer, Barbara Kingsolver
Recommended. More serious than the Turtle books, but a little lighter than The Poisonwood Bible. The tracking and biology didn't rope me in - nope, not me. Recommended reading.

Dreaming in Smoke, Tricia Sullivan
Light science-fiction. I read this while sick with a fever, and it entertained me - but i'm not sure how it would hold up for a sober person.

One for the Morning Glory, John Barnes
Jade loaned this to me - it's a lovely fairy tale. A bit more 'breaking the fourth wall' than i like these days, but well made-up for by his well-wrought storytelling and skill with words. I'm off to roast my haunch of gazebo, now!

Monday Night at Narsai's, Narsai David
I picked up a used copy of this, remembering a night in college when Julianne and i made the Irish menu for St. Patrick's Day. The copy i found has a lot of recipes sent from KQED when the show was airing, tucked in between pages.

The Night Listener, Armistead Maupin
Thanks to Andi for the loan! A good story. Read it in a sitting one morning/afternoon. Recommended, but maybe you want to wait for paperback?
