I went by the bookstore and came home with two new books.  I'm still reading John Adams by McCullough, but I feel the need for something light right now.

I got the new David Sedaris When You Are Engulfed in Flames  link
I loves me some David Sedaris.  I'm only a few pages into the first story, but I'm liking it as much as his others.

I also got a piece of chick-lit Chasing Harry Winston by Lauren Weisburger.  link  She wrote The Devils Wears Prada, which I found funny.

David Sedaris is awesome. His stuff leaves me in stitches almost every time.

I'm about to start a novel called Satisfaction by Gillian Greenwood. I've never heard of this author and the plot looks a little fluffy, but I think I will enjoy it.

I tried reading my book club's latest selection, The Thin Place, by Kathryn Davis, and quit. There is something very gag-worthy about this book. I can't pinpoint it, since I only got through the first 40 pages or so, but I'm not about to read further to figure out why I hate it.

I'm trying to find something new to read.  I'm using this thread as a way to get ideas on what to choose. 

I've thought about something on the history of Savannah.  I'm more a history buff these days, and have turned away from fiction, but if y'all have some good suggestions, I'm willing to check them out.

Jen, Sedaris is the best.  Very funny.  I have his CD "Live at Carnegie Hall" and he reads his "6 to 8 Black Men" short on it, and I was busting out laughing in my car!

The only historical book on Savannah I've ever read was Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.  link

That book might take me awhile, given my classes.  When I was on the Haunted Trolley Tour, our driver was discussing how we should all read the book, and not watch the movie (it was good advice though.  Books are almost always better than the movie.)

I see y'all are raving about David Sedaris' book.  I might have to check that out from the library here (I think the college library has it).

I have a pile of books on my computer I haven't returned to the library.  I still have my copy of "America Afire" and I'm still reading "Titan" that franksolich recommended, about John Davison Rockefeller Sr.  I have a copy of "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt" that I've only skimmed a couple pages, but it's very good.  I also have "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and "The World Without Us", that liberal gloat-fest about how the world will return to a state of blissful balance once we're all dead.

The movie was good I liked it.  The movie had to condense everything into 1 trial, when really Jim Williams was taken to trial 4 times for murder.  The book is a much more in depth account of what happened and very interesting.

You would like Sedaris, especially since you need a laugh.

Just finished Jim Butcher's "Small Favor" (Harry Dresden series)

Cracked open "The Name Of The Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss this morning.

The Showdown~~ Ted Dekker It is a series book one of three (I think).  I already read it but it has been a year or two and I needed a refresher so I can read part 2 called Saint.  Part 3 "Sinner" comes out this year too.  Then I have part two of The Traveler series by John Twelve Hawk.  Another series by Ted Dekker, and some sort of comic books companion piece to the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.
