Reading anything good lately?

This is my favorite question to ask or to be asked.  There is just something I love about knowing what other people are reading.  I read a lot.  And it dawned on me recently that my reading habits are not entirely normal.  I read when I'm curious, relaxed, tired, bored, busy.  I also read to avoid doing other things like the laundry!  I'm a moody reader.  I don't read one book at a time.  I usually have one fiction and at least two non-fiction books going at once.  I blame this on too many years in college.  The difference between now and college, however, is that in college I had to go to class and discuss what I was reading.  I'm afraid I burn through things too quickly now and don't process information as thoroughly as I should.  Granted, I have a few other things going on in my life now than I did in college including a husband, three kids, a dog, a cat, and a house to keep from falling down around me.  But that is no excuse!  So here is my attempt to think about what I am reading and to reacquaint myself with the process of writing which, for me, has faded away in a world of brief emails, facebook posts and quick notes to teachers.  (And apparently, to practice my spelling!  Geesh!  I would have never guessed reacquaint was spelled that way!!)  This will also hopefully be a journal of what I have read.  Something I can use at the library when someone comes up and says, "I need something to read.  Any suggestions?"
