Originally Posted By Tinkerbell819 I'm reading "Symptoms of Withdrawl" by Christopher Kennedy Lawford. It's really interesting. It's not only the story of his life, but, the story of his and his some of his family members struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. (I know I'm stating the obvious from the title!)

Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I'm trying to work my way through the whole series before the release of book 7, but it's rediculously slow going. I love my life, but I do occasionally wish I had more time to read.
Originally Posted By threeundertwo Deb, have you tried the Harry Potter audiobooks? The narrator is great and it's a fast way to catch up on the story. I'm reading The Wings of the Dove.
Originally Posted By Autopia Deb I have listened to the books on tape, and some on CD. You're right Jim Dale is really good (although I don't think Belletrix and Narcissa would have french accents).

(134) Though, I've heard he's about to be passed by some guy who recorded a book about Hollywood History. And I too am just about to request all the audio book from the local library to prep for Deathly Hallows.

I just finished Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) and before that it was Lisey's Story by Stephen King. He needs to release something quickly or I am going to have to go back to reading James Elroy.
