I don’t really have a nightstand, but if I did, I imagine I’d pile all the books I am thinking about reading up on top of the nightstand.
I have a headboard and a floor, but let’s just keep picturing that nightstand, shall we? DO IT.
On this nightstand I have a variety of books that I could read next.
- Hissy Fit by Mary Kay Andrews
- Edge of Evil by JA Jance
- The Omnivore’s Dilemma by some dude who is really into food
- Wicked By that Maguire kid
- The one that is after Wicked. Since it’s after a book that is up for selection, it doesn’t really count as a contender. But it’s there and if it’s there, I’m going to tell you it’s there. This is, I believe, what they call “nekkid blogging”. Which is awesome since I’m really wearing a tank top, a tshirt and my hawtest pair of sawed-off sweatpants. I’m taking nekkid blogging to a ho.nuh-vuh.lebble.
- The Gunslinger by the great master King (the first in a series. sequels are not on my nightstand. WHEW!)
- Woman at the Washington Zoo by Marjorie Williams is also on my nightstand. I own this book. So I will never read it. I don’t read books I buy. Except for the last book I read, but that’s because I couldn’t get it from the library. I’m donating it as soon as I can which will be 5pm tomorrow.
So what SHOULD I read next. That’s what I’m asking you. You can choose from this list and that shore would be the handiest, ma’am. But you can make suggestions of your own if you’re feelin’ lucky. Please and thank you.
I bought Symphony for my mom for Christmas. It’s a novel about the writing of Hector Berlioz’ Symphonie Fantastique. The Washington Post gave it a rave review. I can’t wait to read it!
I vote for the Omnivore’s Dilemma, because that’s one I’m wanting to read myself.
I LOVE Wicked. The musical rocks, but the book just kicks its ass.
Have you read “Eat, Pray, Love” yet?
Scrumptious.
Wicked Rocks, and I love the Gunslinger series.
Can’t go wrong with either.
wicked. But dont even bother with the one after. It’ll hurt your head.
Thank you all for the feedback. Wicked and Gunslinger are at the top of stack. I’m on my second checkout of the Omnivore’s Dilemma. I think I’d rather read it after the holiday binging.
Eat, Pray, Love is on my list to give a looky-see.
Congratulations, Alicia! I’ve never even heard of that book. Obscure Literary Reference of the day goes to you! Welcome, by the way.
Totally unrelated - I miss NaBloPoMo!
“Welcome”?
Oh, yeah. I’ve been reading your blog for so long that I don’t even remember how I found it. Following links from someone else’s blog, no doubt. I guess this is the first time I’ve commented, even though I have read and enjoyed a great deal here.
One of my favs is the Oz Series. Once you get past the traditional wizard of oz story, the rest is fascinating. Each story you learn more and more about all the Oz characters.
My son and I love the Xanth Series from Piers Anthony, if you like fantasy. And I’m in love with the Eragon Dragon series, although I’m a little miffed at the author, Christopher Paolini, for not pumping out the third in the series quick enough.
If they would let me, I’d move into our library. It’s The Best!
