I have a beast of a book I'm reading - ALL of Jane Austen's novels. I like her writing, but it seems awful when you're reading it to prepare for your dissertation :-(

So I finished Twilight and the second book in the series last week and then just finished The Red Tent.

Twilight and the other was cute and light, fast reading. Not sure if the 3rd and 4th can be found in paperback and don't want to spend the money on hard cover. Anyone know? Ebay isn't much help.

The Red Tent was incredible! I highly recommend it.

it helps you to brush up you negotiation skills, like what the book cover says

"SAVE THE DEAL, SAVE THE RELATIONSHIP AND STILL SAY NO"

it has a lot of real life examples which you can learn from, i think it's a great book, but haven't done reading.
I'd love to learn how to say no without any guilt. I end up over extending myself because of it. So how was the book overall?

I'm currently reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Dude, Where is my Country by Michael Moore. I love Atlas Shrugged, this is my second time reading it but it's 1100+ pages and I would totally recommend it if you're into business and whatnot.

I just finished "Revolutionary Road" for my book club. It was rather depressing.

I just bought a dozen books at Target (thanks to Zombie's reminder ) and will let you all know what I think as I go through them. The first one is the new JD Robb book, Salvation in Death. I love that series!

I usually have two books going at once, a fiction one and a non-fiction. Right now the fiction one is Lulu sees God and doubts him, and the non-fiction is The First 30 days, which is an incredibly inspiring book. I met Ariane at the Here Comes The Sun yoga festival in NYC and heard her speak in 2007 and 2008, she is amazing and very inspiring.
