Reading Wednesday

Hi all, I thought it would be fun to share with you all about what I have been reading this year. I found my love of reading in high school and have had my nose in a book ever since. It was harder to read what I wanted while I was in school, but it is much easier now. One author that got me interested in reading was Bill Watterson. Almost daily I would get lost in the adventures of Calvin & Hobbes. Often, I will still grab one of my many comic books to read, so I was thrilled to find out that in November of 09 a biography was published about Bill.

Poor Bill seems like a very bitter man, and I was disappointed about that. As a large fan of the comic I recommend this book to anyone that read Calvin & Hobbes.

Another favorite author is James Patterson. I feel like I have grown out of many of his books, but I was interested in this one.

My dad has always been a nut about Egyptology and this was a very intriguing book.

My next read of the year was The Clan of the Cave Bear. Susan recommended this book because she was reading it and it had been her grandfather’s favorite as a child. This book explores the possibility of the dawn of modern humans and their interaction with cave dwellers. Very interesting and the day I finished, I went out and bought the second in the series.


A nice quick read for me was The Lightening Thief. I really love the story and just think its pretty much genius. We studied the gods and goddesses for years in Latin and it was so fun to explore them again in this way. It has also been made into a movie, in theaters now, and that intrigued me. I have not seen it yet, but I hope to soon!

And my second biography of the year, I have started Going Rogue. I like Sarah Palin and have enjoyed it so far.


So what are you reading? Have you read any of these books? What did you think?
