| What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

2003-06-07 | 3453172027 | Nirgendwo in Afrika / Irgendwo in Deutschland | Zweig, Stefanie | | | After I saw the film Nirgendwo in Afrika I decided I wanted to try to read the book on which the movie was based. I got a copy (click here to read about it on amazon.de because it's not available on amazon.com) that included not only that title but also its sequel, Irgendwo in Deutschland, about the family's return to Germany. Although I've been taking German for a few years now, it's slow going reading a novel in German. I haven't gotten very far and don't pick up this book every day. Still I don't feel too bad; it's like an elementary school student trying to read an adult novel. | |
