I'm reading "The Girl Who Played with Fire," the second of Stieg Larsson's books about Lisbeth Salander, she of the Dragon Tattoo. So far, I like it as much as the first book. I can already sense the danger she faces, and wonder how her friend Mikael Blomqvuist will fit into the plot. Good stuff.

I haven't read anything new in quiet some time. However, I am currently rereading Impulse by Ellen Hopkins. It's a teen novel written in verse that I read when I was still in high school. Afterwords, I'll reread either The Loch by Steve Alten or Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

If any of you happen to like shark stuff, I would seriously recommend Steve Alten's MEG series. It's like Jaws, but on high dose steroids.

My ex watched first film adaptation of The Girth With the Dragon Tattoo and he said he loved it and has been nagging me to watch it and I must admit, it looks quite phenomenal, so I believe I'll read the novel first, which I may end up doing instead of rereading The Loch or Ender's Game.

Reading Spell Bound, which is the Hex Hall book 3. I really love the main character. Her sarcasm is really funny. Books one and two of the series were great.

I liked the movie and have thought of reading the books but I've heard they're pretty complex. Lots of characters and plot is hard to follow. Is that your experience with them?

The movie I did enjoy, but it was a little hard to follow.

I am currently working my way through Jean Auel's "The Land of the Painted Caves" I have also read, and own, The others in the series. She is a wonderful writer, if just a tad long winded and overly thorough.

Currently working through the Kathy Reichs books.

I am on Monday Mourning now.

She is the forensic anthropologist that the Bones TV series is based on.

I'm reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, about halfway through it. It takes me a while to finish reading leisure books because I have a lot of school reading (texts, articles, research), but I can't get to sleep without reading something. I have a week off so hopefully I'll finish it soon. I normally don't read mystery/thrillers but this one has such great reviews. So far I am intrigued.

I have just started reading Subterranean by James Rollins. This is the 4th book by him I have enjoyed. Thriller, mystery, action, history. Dont want to put his books down. Other books I have enjoyed by him are Doomsday Key, The Judas strain, and The last Oracle, Awesome writer who has the ability to keep the reader on edge as to what is coming next and at the same time, paints a story, using words that draws you in.

Well, I just finished Auel's, so now I have started with Dante. I do enjoy a classic now and then.

I'm reading "Pricing Beauty: The Making of a Fashion Model" by Ashley Mears. She is a sociologist who, as part of her PhD thesis, worked as a professional model, conducted interviews with the insiders, and wrote about it from a sociologist's perspective. It's very interesting!! :-)

Oooh! Another Dante fan! Just remember, it is in archaic english, so it may take some getting used to.

Umm, I presume that it is Dante's Divine Comedy, If not then disregard this post.

Reading Automated Alice by Jeff Noon. It's Alice (in Wonderland) time traveling into the future. I'm enjoying it. It's not anywhere near as weird as Vurt.

For my night-time book I'm reading a collection of Philip K. penis's short stories.

Gwenhwyfar by Mercedes Lackey was a blind buy for me but is turning out to be quite an interesting take through King Arthur's tale.

Funny autocorrect. Philip K penis is famazing; have you read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep"? Its super-downer, but a very deep take on human empathy and the nature of the soul. penis is my 3rd favorite scifi author behind Bradbury. 451 is mindblowingly good.

Currently rereading Wicked, and then slogging through Steven King's Under the Dome to prepare for the miniseries this summer.

Yep! I love PKD! Do Androids Dream is maybe my favorite of his. Either that or Ubik. I've read quite a few of stuff and hope to get through all of it some day.

I didn't like his Valis triology and Deus Irea he co-authored with Zelazny.

Sorru for Tad Williams but I stopped reading with the second book of this serious called Shadowmarch.

Then started a David Baldacci but thats tossed aside cause I'm now reading finding Kay a transgender odyssey.

Which she so graciously offered us for free download.

And I'm really enjoying reading it.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
