I am on the final book in the "Sleeping Beauty Series", written by Anne Rice. I am reading the last one slow because I know it is the end and I want to get as much joy as possible out of it.

Blush....I finally got my hands on those fifty shades of grey books. 
I am reading fifty shades darker. Hey, I'm on spring break. Cut me some slack. It's been months since I have read anything other than a damn textbook.

I am reading out loud to my son The Tale of Despereaux. Since we read every night, we started this week and we will end by Sunday!
(I enjoy reading kids stories and having a kid to read them to is a pure bonus!)

Still Points North, about a girl tossed between Baltimore and Alaska after her parents divorce. The passages where she explains how she can't cry because her Dad might leave her again for the OW are heartbreaking....

The Elegant Gathering of White Snows. One of the worst books I have read in a very long time. Cliched, poorly edited, horrible writing and decidedly inelegant.

Not 'reading' but 'listening' to "The Storyteller" by Jody Picoult. My first "Audible" purchase.
It's a very heavy subject, but very interesting. Lots of dialog; great narrative. If you are going to try an Audible, this would be an excellent one to try!
I am in the midst of a solo trip... 6 hours driving each way. Beach time. Watching 3 baseball games (my son's... much of it where he is not even playing!). It's 18+ hours long and I'm almost done. Would have been bored out of my skull without it.
True happiness comes from within, not from someone else. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy

I am reading Ghost Rider by Neil Peart. He is the drummer of the Canadian rock group Rush but the book is not about music.
Here is the description of the book from the jacket:
In less than a year, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of loss and directionlessness that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. He had needed to get away, but had not really needed a destination. His travel adventures chronicle his personal odyssey and include stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, thinking, and reminiscing as he rode until he encountered the miracle that allowed him to find peace.

Ghost Rider is excellent. Peart's writing style makes it feel like you are sitting in the room with him.
The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa is also very good.

I was on spring break and the weather was stinky so I read "The Storyteller" by Jodi Picoult and "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn in two days. Some dark stuff for sure; I had to watch many DVR episodes of Big Bang Theory and Friends to shake off the gloom.

Just finished "The History of Us," which I have to say wasn't that good, BUT, and it's a big BUT, the OW gets hers, which was a first for me to ever read. lol The author had to be a BS.

Just finished Chuck Palahniuk's "Diary". Strange read, but I liked it.

Re-reading "The Great Gatsby" in time for new movie, which sounded good but has gotten not so great reviews.

Just finished re-reading Unbroken. What a great great book.
Started Teacher Man, it's pretty good too.
Next I want to re-read Gatsby. I read it like 100 years ago in 8th grade. I loved it then.

I just finished The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of a Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson.
Loved it. A fun humourous journey through various historical events and public figures of the last century, with an improbable yarn woven through.
