Here's the Deal: Don't Touch Me by Howie Mandel and Josh Young

January 1, 2010

The third book in that series.

I don't understand why I liked these books so much the first time around. This time, I keep thinkging, "God! They are all such jerks!".

Well...except Alice.

I finished the second book in that series, and now I'm half-heartedly re-reading the third. I can't remember anything about this one, so something tells me I found it boring the first time around.

I read Read My Pins by Madeleine Albright. Very interesting. Now this is the kind of book I love: one that tells me the why's and how's behind a fascinating trait or hobby or habit. A book that I come away from thinking, "Wow! I learned something new about this person!"

I read that book again. And now I'm reading the second in that series.

Like I said...fluff.

*insert sounds of crickets*

I have been reading, but I'm having trouble finding a book that really holds my attention and makes me want to stop everything and finish it.

I read Official Book Club Selection by Kathy Griffin in early October, and then...I drifted...from one book to another, not finishing anything. Last week I picked up Bringing Home the Birkin by Michael Tonello.

I think I'm just in the mood for (I hate to say it, because I realize that every author works hard and I don't like to belittle anyone's work) fluff reading.
