I might have to track that down...I've always loved so much of Henson's work. His death at a young 56 was quite a creative loss....

I recently finished Freakonomics (some very interesting stuff) and am now reading Kite Runner...so far a tragic but well-written and fascinating story about boyhood and politics in Afghanistan.

this bulletin board (does that count?)

It's great. I can't put it down. It's a collection of quotes compiled by his daughter, Cheryl

I love the Muppets.

I am reading Every Secret Thing by Laura Lippman.

Okay, now "Rainbow Connection" is running through my head....

"Someday I'll find it the Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me."

My daughter sang that song in a school program in 3rd grade, what great memories.

"Maximum Ride : the Angel Experiment"

It's a young adult fanasy/sci fi book. I read to my kids very night that I am home (read as not on business travel or at JB concerts).......

It is about a group of government gentics experiments trying to get free and have a normal life...

Read Alexander McCall Smith's newest: Friends, Lovers and Chocolate.

Finished Steve Martini's Double Tap.

Can't say either one moved me.

I'm reading Double Whammy.....OK, OK, written in 1987....so I'm behind.

At least you're reading. I gave two programs to Rotary and Kiwanis in the past week and hardly any of them (except the women) were readers! I felt like a stranger in a strange land.

Reading Hiaasen in reverse....somehow, it makes sense!

Reading Marathin for Mortals

I also recently finished reading A Million Little Pieces and thought it was terrific. Loaned it to a good friend who has been in a 12 step program for 20 years and she also loved the book.

Just finished Stormy weather......somehow just felt right.......before that was Double Whammy

Janet Evanovich, Metro Girl. I just got to the point where our hero is in Key West, and she references Jimmy Buffet....... No, that's not a typo......

"Don't try to describe a KISS concert if you've never seen it...."

I wish there were more books on Jim Henson. There's very few out there.

Have you ever heard the Willie Nelson version of that song? It's great!

Oh, and in school, I'm reading Peter and the Starcatchers to my kids. It's the story of how Peter Pan and Captain Hook ended up on Neverland.
