Hey, What Ya Reading??? A book???
Kd5000:
I am reading OSCAR WILDE AND A DEATH OF NO IMPORTANCE. It's quite good and it reads like something Oscar Wilde might have written. Mr. Wilde stumbles upon the body of a young male friend of his he's scheduled to meet for a "tutoring" appointment. The book is set in 1888, before ppl knew about his sexual orientation. Of course, it's certainly implied and the police are most interested in why Mr. Wilde is associating with street "urchins." I strongly recommend it. Arthur Conan Doyle is also in the book as well, mostly as a secondary character who comes and goes. The story is told the from the perspective of real life poet Robert Sherard.

Just finished reading, The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic by Steven Johnson.
Not as evocative as I'd hoped. It was alright, a short easy read about London's cholera epidemic.

"On Brokeback Mountain" , so far I am blown away, I just love it.
"Joseph Golden":
Hello, I hope it's alright if i join your book club.
Has anyone read "A road to paradise" by Paullina Simon's
The road to Paradise, a story of intense friendship, fierce loyalty, and love, will take them to the last place they expected to be.
I just finished it, It's amazing.
Anybody?
