While re-reading LoTR, I'm also reading Nickel and Dimed: On (Not)Getting By in America. When the struggles of the working class get me sufficiently P.O.'d I flee back to Middle Earth.

On the coffee table, waiting:

King Jesus - Robert Graves
When Elephants Weep: The Emotional Life of Animals - Jeffrey M. Masson
Tis - Frank McCourt
The Practical Princess and other Liberating Fairy Tales - Jay Williams

Also something called The Silence in Heaven, by Peter Lord-Wolff, which appears to be about the adventures of banished angels here on earth. If anyone's read that and wants to give me a quick review, feel free.

Man, where's Evelyn Wood when you need her??
