| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

Author: James, P.D.
| 2005-10-05 | 0679438890 | Original Sin | James, P.D. | | | | OK, it had been a while since I'd read any P.D. James, and having just gotten one of her latest Adam Dagliesh mysteries, I decided to go back and re-read an earlier one. Like Christie, James' books are worth looking at more than once. | | 2005-10-04 | 1400041414 | The Murder Room | James, P.D. | | | | I started reading P.D. James mysteries not terribly long after reading Agatha Christie, that is to say, when I was a kid, but luckily James is still around and writing new ones. Also, I feel a bit of a Dayton connection to P.D. James (admittedly a very tenuous one) because the late Roz Young of the Journal Herald and later of the Dayton Daily News, herself a P.D. James fan, wrote of her correspondence with James and of meeting her a few times. So reading this book was satisfying in several ways. | |
