I must admit I'm a Yurtle the Turtle fan...

last year we sat in a circle and had story time with that book.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Possibly the best book on the subject of turtle stacking.

I Was A Teenage Fairy, or anything else by Francesca Lia Block.

She is an awesome writer.
don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

If you are looking for some fiction, I'd suggest, John Case's book The Syndrome or any of his books really. I like his style, usually takes about 100 pages to pick up and then you find yourself reading it late at night to finish it up in a couple of days.

Your pillow wept, and covered your eyes
And you finally slept, while the sun caught fire ^*

HARDCORE!

I'm reading Great Expectations... you expect it to be all dry and Dickensian, of course, but I'm actually really really getting into it. I finally got used to the way he commands the language and, once you understand his English, it's actually quite a hysterical and gripping book :nod: I'm very pleasantly surprised. Not at all what I remember from the last time I tried to read it (waaay too young). Oh, and don't mind the slow beginning. It's worth it, trust me.
