Followup:

Thanks for all of the suggestions. She actually solved it for me by requesting Harry Potter.
So, it looks like I'll be reading the entire series to the second of my three kids which means I'll probably do it for the third one day...

Maybe because it's the summer, but I have zero time to read these days... sucks.

I hear ya, I haven't picked up a book since May.

Last night I was so conflicted... listen to the Jays game on the radio in bed or read.

So I laid down to try and make a decision and woke up with my alarm at 6:15...

Yeah, I caught the end of the game, they whomped them 11-4, not bad. I just wish they could get going on a streak here like the start of the season to gain some ground.

I wish they would trade Halladay, Rios and Rolen for good young talent and put together a real team for 2011.

Agreed, but I feel injuries have hurt any chances they may have had over the last few years. Looks like they've been shopping him around so your wish may come true. I'm a Rios fan but it seems there are rumors swirling about him being traded as well.
I guess this discussion would be more apt for the sports thread, ah well.

I loved that book, couldn't put it down.

Just finished "In Other Words" by Anthony DeCurtis, a collection of interviews - mostly musicians. Now I started something called "House of Leaves" that my brother gave me for christmas. I'm wary that its a hipster book, but the first few chapters have been interesting.

Still slowing making my way through "the Now Habit," but only at work.

Agreed. Both his books are great, A Thousand Splendid Suns was also tough to put down.

"Into Thin Air" was fantastic. I wanted to read "Into The Wild" next, but i couldn't find it at the bookstore so bought this:
