^^^^ Me neither.  I returned 8 books to the library, having read ONE. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for my selections. Finally picked up Bob Woodward's State of Denial, The Price of Loyalty by Ron Suskind, and also found Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman. Maybe now I'll have something to read!!
(I was going through withdrawal although I have bookcases full of unread books. They're mine...I can read them anytime.  )

I survived my week without a book, but just barely...when I got to my favorite bookstore in Ann Arbor, I was suffering from what the economists call "pent up demand."
Finished: The Voyageur, Grace lee Nute, a short history of the fur trade and the smelly guys who paddled the canoes and stored pea soup in their pockets for snacks during the day.
Finished: Sea Change, by Peter Nichols, the true story of a guy who tried to erase the pain of his failing marriage by sailing across the Atlantic alone in a small wood boat, only to have the boat spring a leak half way across.
Finished: Flying Colours, by C.S. Forester, one of the Captain Hornblower series: stiff upper lip, and all that. Why doesn't anyone read the Hornblower series anymore?
Finished: Co-existence of Atikamekw And Industrial Forestry Paradigms: Occupation and Management of Forestlands in the St-Maurice River Basin, Québec A pretty amazing study about how cultural differences in the way the modern Atikamekw Indians view forests and how the modern forestry industry views forests can come together and co-exist...more or less.
Reading: re-reading, actually, Bill Bryson, A Walk In The Woods. Someone mentioned it earlier here in this thread and I just had to go back to it. Seems even funnier the second time through.

44 Scotland Street - Alexander McCall Smith
Originally published as a serial in the Scotsman newspaper, it's a delightful read.. I'm nearly done and I'm grateful there's another book continuing the series. Great characters, infinitely quotable philosophies, and no cliched dialogue or plot.
Finished Tishomingo Blues - another offbeat Elmore Leonard novel - sort of a thriller, but not in any traditional sense. There are so many very human and fallible non-heroes in this story, that it's hard to know whose tale it is.. Edgy, quirky stuff: typical of his style.

Jen, that's the first in series of five, excellent books. Donaldson is one of my all time favorites.

Yes, I read The Communist Manifesto when I was fifteen, but I don't remember much of it....because it was five years ago. I'll probably take it out again.
