Going Bovine by Libba Bray-hilarious and also sad when you realize what it's really about
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson-one of the main characters may even have some Aspie traits(but somehow manages to be incredibly tough and kickass) |

.hack// Another Birth, Volume 1: Infection_
It's based off the manga so my library put it in the manga section, so I was a bit suprised to find it was an actual book.
BTW Levanah, welcome! |

I am currently reading a couple of books:
A Season of Night by Ian McNulty, it is about living in New Orleans right after Hurricane Katrina. This hits home with me, since the city that I live in was devestated by a flood last year.
A Lucky American Childhood by Paul Engle, it is about a young boy growing up in the city that I live in around the turn of the century.
I would like to read HW Brands biography of FDR and work a little more on Michael Burlingame's two volume Lincoln set. |
