I'm still picking away at Under Heaven by Guy Gavriel Kay but I suspect it might have to go back to the library largely unread. I'm enjoying it but it's a large, dense book that demands rather more time than I have at the moment, I fear.
I picked up My Life in Paris by Julia Child and Alex Prud'Homme and it's far more my speed right now. It's basically a collection of reminiscinces (ouch spelling) by Child about her years in France and it's a lovely, light read.
What are YOU reading?

I've heard a lot of good things about the Julia Child book. Must interrogate the library catalogue. Except the TBR list I'm compiling from blogs needs to be recored on a roll of loo paper. It is getting to quite looong. :)
Yeah, the list probably needs to be "recorded" as well.")
The book is actually called My Life in France - lol. It's fascinating
Enjoy your books this week :)
Have a great reading week!
Here is my Monday: Mailbox/What Are You Reading?/Musings post!
My Life in Paris by Julia Child sounds very interesting. I love everything about Paris! ;)
Have a wonderful reading week.
I liked Under Heaven but it was quite long and slow going.
Nice book choices. The one about Julie Childs sounds interesting. Enjoy!
Julia Child rocks. Seriously! Here's mine: http://www.southernfiberreads.com/2011/01/mailbox-monday-and-what-are-you-reading.html
I dont recognize your book. But I hope you enjoy it
I've been curious about My Life in Paris since seeing Julie and Julia. I feared that it would be too heavy, so it's good to know that you found it lovely and light.
Under Heaven was good. I read it last year. Unfortunately I never reviewed it! I really need to read more from him, but I think I don't because his books are so dense and you need to be in the right mood for him...
Sheila: Thank you :-)
gautami: you too!
Nina: It's wonderful and I"m loving it :D
Heather: That's what I'm finding. I'm loving it but I don't have the time for long and slow-going right now unfortunately
Samantha: Thank you :-)
Southern Fiber: I'm learning that - lol
Aleetha: Thank you :-)
Joy: It's basically about eating and cooking - lol. It's not heavy at all
Kailana: Yes, you do need to be in the right mood, that's what I'm finding with this.
