Thats the one, cheers :)

I&#39;m now reading Jim Davison&#39;s autbiography.

Currently reading Better than a Rest by Pauline McLynn
(She played Mrs Doyle in Father Ted)
A light breezy detective story with a romantic bent (so far). Surprisingly well written.
I don&#39;t usually go in for this sort of book, but I had to give my favorite tealady the benefit of the doubt.

and just about to start &#39;Lost Light&#39; by Michael Connelly.

Anyone else read No Second Chance? what did you think?

[FONT=Geneva] [SIZE=7][COLOR=green] I&#39;m reading a book called Sleeping Beauty right now, it&#39;s by Judith Michael. It&#39;s not one of my favorite books, but it&#39;s not bad. It&#39;s about a girl that got sexually abused by her Uncle when she was between the ages of 13 and 15, then ran away , and came back when she was an adult. It&#39;s kinda slow right now, but I think my all-time favorite book is Back Roads by Tawni O&#39;Dell. AMAZING book, I recommend it to anyone. My bf and I have completely different tastes, but he liked it just as much as I did, if not more. Look for it, honestly. Awesome book. :)

I&#39;m currently reading The Puzzle Palace. Which is a book that details the National Security Agency and it&#39;s role ins certain events in history.

Other books on my "To Read" list are:

The Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski (sp?) I actually got halfway through the book then stopped reading.
and when I get around to it Snobbery by Author Who&#39;s Name I Forgot and The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde.

Now....The New Anti-Semitism by Phyllis Chesler
Next...Where The Wizards Stay Up Late...The Origins Of The Internet by
Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon.
