I always read a lot; I especially enjoy poetry and usually have a couple of poetry books by my bedside. Or in my bed, to be more accurate. I am also in a book-club and this year we have read: "My First White Friend" by Patricia Raybon; "East of Eden" by Steinbeck (it was an Oprah selection, which induced one of our members to read it and she recommended it very highly). We read "The Piano Tuner" by Daniel Mason---amazing! Mason is a very young MD--I think he just graduated from Med School in 2003--who has managed to write an historical novel set in Burma in the 1880s.
For our meeting later this week we are discussing Edith Wharton's "The Custom of the Country". It's not my favourite Wharton novel, but it is an excellent, if chilling, satire.
When I want to relax, I read detective stories. Sometimes I go through a period of reading books about therapy also, but there is no particular one that I really feel I MUST recommend!
