A Contest to Get You People Posting to this Blog: The first person to post a comment listing the last book, fiction or non-fiction, that he or she read in its entirety will receive from me a most excellent Dutch treat. (That's just a little joke; you don't have to pay half.)

Fiction--I've reread As I Lay Dying, and I'm currently working on American Gods, which, I know, I should have read a while back.
Nonfiction--I've been reading abstracts most of the first half of the summer for this fall's PCAS conference. I'd like to call that exciting, but there's just no pretending that.
Yea, Hugh! You're the big winner! Now I have to figure out what your prize is.
Yea, Faulkner! I love As I Lay Dying. I wish the Coen brothers would make a film version.
Did you read Inkspell first ? I did and prefer it to Inkheart. I am into Back-to-work on Monday mode, so I am reading children's books-Princess Academy 2006 Newbery Honor - better than I initially thought and Turkeys Together - a nice easy reader.
I enjoyed Inkheart, but I also prefer Inkspell over it. The Thief Lord, though, is my favorite of Funke's novels.
Now for something completely different . . . I'm reading The Liar by Stephen Fry. Though it's about young adults, it's definitely not YA fiction.
No fair. You wrote this on a traveling day for me. I tried commenting before but it didn't post...I guess I'm not good enough. I just finished A Geologic History of the Columbia River Plateau...it was a cliff-hanger!
I'm surprised nobody listed a pop-up book (they're scary).
