What are you reading?

I am reading Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters... my sister lent it to me... apparently a lot of Sarah Waters books are aimed at lesbians(???), but she a has actually won heaps of awards, and my sister assures me its an excellent book by a brilliant writer, so I'm all for it!
I'm only a couple chapters in though, havent had the time for weeks to pick it up!

Am also reading Why Warriors Lie Down and Die. Its a book for our Culture, Values & Diversity Subject at uni. About Aboriginal Australians and their health issues and how it relates to our current health system. VERY interesting, and VERY eye-opening.

and apart from that I have read nearly a hundred journal articles for my assignments... all about nursing assessment, and cultural safety.

Gee Tanya, I wonder whom you might be talking about?? Darksong is great... so much better than the first I thought!

Wow girls, this is great thread! I love reading, I must confess to loving second hand bookshops too. I had to buy a backpack to bring home the eight books I bought on our honeymoon LOL! I know, how romantic!

I am currently reading "The Pursuit of Happiness" by Douglas Kennedy, I also enjoyed his book "State of the Union". I love Jodi Piccoult, and Maeve Binchy too. I agree with Lucy, her's are comfort books, and I have also read them over and over.

Lucy, you give me hope! I'm so glad to hear that there may be a time in a mother's life when she can read a book! Everyone tries to tell me that once I give birth I won't read another book for 10 years eeeek! I am determined to BF, this is just another reason to do so, and for a long time LOL!

Thanks everyone for the tips, I'm always on the look out for a good read.........I have also heard that "Running with Scissors" is fantastic, so i think that's next on the list.
