I'm reading "Rock Me on the Water: 1974—The Year Los Angeles Transformed Movies, Music, Television and Politics." I like it, but it's not what I expected - it goes into way more detail and history than I really want so I am skimming some parts. It is very interesting, though. I just finished "Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body," which was very eye-opening and gave me a lot to think about. I had mixed feelings about the book but I'm glad I read it. Erica |

I blew my no-buy with The Library of the Dead by TL Huchu, a fantasy about a 14 year old girl in an alternate Edinburgh who can speak to ghosts, but it was worth it.
Inadvertently continuing a theme, I'm now reading The Librarian by Salley Vickers which was passed along by a friend and has been on my shelf for a while. It's not bad and I'm enjoying all the references to old children's books.

Erica, sounds like you are really reading some interesting non-fiction stuff!
I'm reading HEAT WAVE, an okay summer read from Nancy Thayer (I find her style a bit simplistic and unrealistic). I'm also reading another book by Western-based Buddhist meditators, VOICES OF INSIGHT.
