So, what has Nikki read recently..
Two books around accepting change - one was forced one me by my boss, and one was reccomended so I bought as a gift for my boss.
The first was "Who moved my cheese". Quite cheesy (aside from the cheese!), but does contain some useful advice.
The other is quite lovely.. very sweet indeed, and rung *very* true with me in parts "The Knight in Rusty Armor".Both are small, easy reads.. and I do reccomend them - especially "The Knight in Rusty Armor".
I've just finished "Her Name Was Lola" by Russell Hoban. A friend of my husbands from Scotland visited, and we spent alot of time discussing books, and he highly reccomended this to me.. I loved it. I didn't think it was going to do much for me after the first chapter, but then it really quickly sucked me in.. Its set in London, and "magical realism", which is an idea which I loved, so I was kind of expecting it to let me down. I was thrilled it didn't.
What else. Some Sci Fi short stories written by friends of my husband at http://dead-channel.net/, "Jo's Boys" which I picked up in a second hand store! Oh, and "Does Anything Eat Wasps?" for some useless information *laughing*
There must be more.. I shall continue pondering!

How funny, I keep seeing the ads in New Scientist for "Does Anything Eat Wasps?" and thinking, "Hm..." I guess now I'll have to put it on my wishlist there...
I've just been reading mysteries, and nothing worth noting that I haven't already posted about. But I am reading something now you might enjoy. Although, I only just started it... (And I posted about it below...)
And I just read a Real Novel. 18th Century Gothic Novel, no less... Also posted about below, but here's a link: "A Sicilian Romance," by Ann Radcliffe. Next I have a biography of her, "The Mistress of Udolpho." I'll get to it... (After all, it is good for avoiding reading my text book... {sigh} Princess Procrastinator, that's me.)
This is the end of the thread.
