I'm glad I switched, at least for now. Confederates in the Attic chronicles author Tony Howitz's journey across the south as he documents the continuing obsession with the Civil War. It's fascinating, but I wasn't quite in the mood for it. I do intend to return to this one soon.
I'm pretty sure most people have read or seen Like Water for Chocolate, but I must have been having babies then. I am loving the wonderful tale of Tita and her crazy Mexican family, and the movie is now on my Netflix queue.
That's what I'm reading on this chilly Monday.

My reading life right now is pathetic. I'm jumping around in lots of books, dabbling in many, finishing none. The one I am most enjoying is Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West; it is a slow book, one to put down and pick up again. It works well that way, though.
I have to admit I like neither the book nor the movie of Like Water for Chocolate. Oh well.
I'm reading 2 books right now. One is left by my bed and the other in the living room, so I just keep picking them up when I'm nearby. :)
Cranford by Elizabeth Gaskell and Little Dorritt by Charles Dickens (which is VERY thick!).
