These ERB books are a lot of fun. I read through them twice about 30 years ago. I like the Tarzan books as well.

Just finished Kafka on the Shore by Murakami Haruki. Going to have to put it aside to reread it later, there are still parts I don't get. :-)

Just finished the Princess of Burundi by Kjell Eriksson.

http://www.amazon.com/Princess-Burun.../dp/0312327676

It was a pleasant read, could have been much better. The suspense heightened in the end, but I was always waiting for the big surprise and it never really came. Since it is one in a series, I'm not sure if there is more to come as far as some of the back stories.

I never really understood the tie in of the Princess of Burundi and the fish with the rest of the story -- it almost seemed unnecessary for the story, but since it was built into the title it should have been more integrated. Overall 3.5 out of 5.

The Gum Thief by Douglass Coupland. One of the funniest books I have read in a while. I laughed more at J-POD but this one is close.

I've been reading the Bible a lot lately, a book called "Serenity" and I have a few Jared Diamond books waiting for me.

"Fourteen Friends Guide to Eldercaring". Reading this for a friend whose Mom has lost her mind to elder dementia, just like Gram. Lots of the same stuff it took me years to figure out. Joan Seal of Approval on this one.

Over half way through Wicked by Gregory Maguire. My wife loves all his books and I'm taking her to see the musical in Chicago next week so I figured I'd read it. Not at all what I thought it would be. Lots of political and theological overtones...interesting to say the least.

That's what I thought about Wicked-ineresting and unexpected. I have the sequel, Son of a Witch on audio, but haven't listened to it yet. The musical is a lot of fun.

I'm about half through A Monk Swimming by Malachy McCourt. I read his brother's two books as well, Angela's Ashes and 'Tis by Frank McCourt. Angela's Ashes is a remarkable book, an amazing story. 'Tis turns pretty whiny after a while. A Monk Swimming is ok, but it drags on. He really could have just said I'm Irish and like to drink as opposed to writing this whole book.

Energy Victory: Winning the War on Terror by Breaking Free of Oil by Robert Zubrin

Very interesting so far. He's a huge (understatement) supporter of methanol/ethanol flex fuel cars.
