What are you reading now?

I've read a whole bunch of books since I posted on this topic last, but here are my favorites:

P. T. Deutermann's The Cat Dancers, Spider Mountain, and Hunting Season are superb thrillers.

Jack Whyte's The Skystone, which I discovered after re-reading Ivanhoe, and I just love this book, first of a series.

Chris Manby's Seven Sunny Days which is light reading, funny, and I thought it was great.

so there was a blackout in my apartment complex today...from 4:15-10:30...not as exciting/fun/romantic as they make it on tv, but what ever is???
anyway, i read teri garr's autobiography by candlelight. it was a great book and i recommend it to anyone with or without ms! it was a pretty quick read and VERY funny. i love how she finds humor in everything! it was really uplifting, and i think if anyone is feeling down,, reading this book will help improve your mood/outlook.

Dry Ice by Stephen White

All his books have MS in the story lines. If you start reading his books I recommend start with his first one. He has a website. He marries a woman with MS and I think he has about 10 books and each one is a murder mystery of sorts but touches on the illness of his wife quite a bit.

I am still in chapter one of this one and sounds like she is going into an exacerbation, she talks about "brain mud" and he describes my leg pain almost to a T.

I find the entire books, the murders, the neighbors, co-workers always are interesting and a fast read.

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister by Gregory Maguire

I love the twists on fairy tales, both in this one and Wicked.

I just finished Abundance by Sena Jeter Naslund about Marie Antoinette. I really enjoyed this book - except the ending as we know was very tough to get through. It was written in the first person and felt like she was a friend.

I am currently reading a book titled 23 minutes in Hell by Bill Wiese.

It's a true story about a man who says that he woke up in hell and he shares a very detailed description of the event. I just started the book.

I love Stephen White's series. Did you know that he actually has MS himself? I read it on his website.

I'm reading two great books right now.

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson is a nonfiction that was recommended by my DSIL. It's great. It's about the Chicago's World Fair of 1893 and a serial killer in Chicago there at the same time.

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson. Parts of it have made me laugh out loud. I recommend this book highly.

I just bought a book today called the dying game. I know sounds morbid but im into scary stuff.

I just finished with "A Case of Need" ... Michael Crichton

"Dr. Art Lee is jailed for performing an illegal abortion resulting in the death of a prominent physician's daughter. Dr. John Berry, Art's friend, knows Art is innocent and sets out to prove it. He encounters resistance and apathy from most people, but he tenaciously searches for the real abortionist to clear his friend's name."

I previously read "State of Fear" ... Michael Crichton

"Peter Evans is an ordinary young attorney, a junior associate of the law firm representing wealthy philanthropist George Morton, a major donor to environmentalists organizations. Mr. Evans believes all the things that he has been told that he should believe, such as the immediate and catastrophic danger of global warming. As events unfold, Mr. Evans receives a practical as well as scholarly education."
