Hi. What a wonderful thing to do. I've been reading anything and everything by T. C. Boyle. Somehow I never discovered him until the last few months. I'm waiting to get The Women, his newest, when my name works its way up the hold list at the Public Library. I've generally been a book buyer, but now that retired using the public library more, and giving them lots of my old books that I won't reread.
Lovely concept. Recently read:
- Toddler: Real life stories of those fickle, irrational urgent tiny people we love, ed. Jennifer Margulis.
- the new Robert Parker novel.
- Best American Essays 2008 - I'm still catching up!
- Consider the Lobster & Other Essays - David Foster Wallace, RIP.
As you can see, I'm having trouble reading full-lengths right now. Blame it on the impending summer, I guess. But definitely enter my name in the contest!
Oh how I miss reading on my commutes.
Right now I'm reading (in fits and starts) "A Fortunate Age" by Joanna Smith Rakoff. Recently re-read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" by Mark Haddon. And because I wanted my 10-year-old to read it, I just re-read "Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams for the first time in at least 15 years.

I love these giveaways. I have read 'The English Passengers' and 'The Pirates, In an Adventure with Scientists' and 'Summerland' and am now reading 'Agincourt' by Bernard Cornwell
Good question! I'm going to the library tomorrow, so I'll have to write down some of your readers' recommendations.
Recently, I've read Stranger in a Strange Land (Heinlein) and A Voice in the Wind (Francine Rivers.)
Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris with a foreword by none other than CHUCK NORRIS.
Its a couple of homeschool teens who are attempting to change the face of teenagedome. Its targeted toward teens, but I think parents should all read this and find a way to support it.
I have been rereading the Twilight series. It's definitely a guilty pleasure.
I've been reading the dead before dark/true blood series.

Wowzers! This is an amazing giveaway.
Recently, I've completed Paris to the Moon and Through the Children's Gate - both by Adam Gopnik. I'm also reading the Ivy & Bean and Horse Crazy series to my 5 yr old daughter.
Thanks for the chance Phil!
Fantastic giveaway!
My hubby would LOVE these books... He recently finished:
1. What's Next? Dispatches on the Future of Science..
2.Amnesiac
3. Columbine
Wow! What a great giveaway! I just got done reading Skippyjon Jones by Judy Schachner, which kept me hanging on every page, and am now reading The Tourist (by Olen Steinhauer).
A giveway and a list of interesting books to read--I love it! I just finished "Drowning Ruth" by Christina Schwarz and "We Were the Mulvaneys" by Joyce Carol Oates. I am now reading "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson and "The Read-Aloud Handbook" (6th Edition) by Jim Trelease.
Thanks!
Hi. I am reading 'A History of the World in 6 Glasses' by Tom Standage. I am coming to the end of the book so some new reading material would be excellent...
Awesome giveaway! I haven't read anything since the Twilight series but I am reading To Kill A Mockingbird to my daughters. I miss reading on a daily basis.
p.s. Found you via Daddy Forever and I think we live in the same town. :)
I just finished reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. Amazing story about a young man entering manhood without having the physical presence of his father. I won't say anymore, but I do recommend the book.
Thanks for the chance to enter, Phil.
