Currently reading Ed Sanders-The Family. Got it in the mail recently with a few other books related to that crime. I'm fascinated by all of this, but I still have plenty of King I need to read so I'm trying to get through it a little quicker then usual!
I took the kids to the library yesterday and looked for this book. Couldn't find it and it didn't occur to me to look it up in the computer there. Looked it up when I got home and they do have a copy so want to get it next time!
I did pick up three by Karen Russell on Dana Jean's recommendation in another thread.
This is my motto on weekends.
I am not very far into it, but so far it has been very exciting!! Lots of strange goings-on.I took the kids to the library yesterday and looked for this book.

I did finish Kevin. Very disturbing book. I thought the end was weak, and wish I hadn't read the author stuff at the end (a P.S. edition), as she seems thoroughly unlikable. I'll be thinking about this one for a while, so I suppose it's a successful book. I didn't think any narrator could be worse than Lolita's Humbert Humbert, but this one is a photo finish.
Next up: Brandon Sanderson's The Way of Kings, on EMARX's suggestion. If that doesn't hold my interest, I have an ARC of JoJo Moyes' new one to read for review (though it doesn't pub until July).

Watch out for the sisters!!!!
Are you by any means or way, the Tardis? Or Tardia, if you are female?
I felt that way when I read The Innocent Man by John Grisham . . .
Yes! But worse. MM, this main character is so AWFUL...
Oh Lawd . . .I don't think I could take it!
i am reading The Black eyed Blonde blonde by Benjamin Black, and as i read i swear bogie is playing the dective and giving the smart answers.
Wild (From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail)~ Cheryl Strayed...a memoir...on the kindle fire, about 47% complete. An okay read...and I think Oprah did something...endorse?...plugged?...gushed?...about this book for her Book Club. A boot on the "cover"...and I'm reminded of Cell...the shoe on the wrist...which reminds me of the Argentine soccer players whose plane crashed in the Andes Mountains...remember that? They ate their fellow passengers to survive? And...at one point two or three of them hiked away from the crash site, one of them wearing a small sneaker on a wrist. I wonder if King had that in mind when he wrote Cell? Or if it is just one of those coincidences?
I think they were Rugby players, but yeah I remember seeing the movie... what a situation to be in, yar?
Recently, one of the channels on local television had a documentary on their ordeal...and yeah, what a situation to be in. At one point, three of them hiked to the east and as they climbed a mountain, one of them spotted a sliver of highway in the opposite direction. There was some hotel in that direction, 18 miles away...although if the clip of the hotel they showed is any indication, not much help there. Looked like the proverbial haunted hotel. An avalanche buried the portion of fuselage they were using as shelter. I've seen a movie about their ordeal, as well.
Was it (the movie) called "Alive"?
