I guess it's not "reading" in the traditional sense, but I am beginning to play the piano again. So... sight reading... is that okay?
I purchased the music books for Wicked and Avenue Q. Those are some fun things to play. But [nerd alert], I need to take the books to Kinkos, get the spines cut off the books and get them rebound so they will lay flat on my piano [/nerd alert]
Also... I'm re-discovering my love for Beethoven. I love that deaf man!

Love both books! The Curious Incident book was wonderful. It really gave me an insight on the high functioning autistic person and how they process information!Originally Posted by Tony

It was interesting to see the behoviors of an autistic person from the point of veiw of the person. I love how he would do things that would seem weird to us but, in his head, he had a perfect logic for doing it. I thought it was clever, touching, funny and very smart. If you like that one, you should read The Pleasure of My Company by Steve Martin. He is a brilliant writer of characters.
I actually have that in my book stack! I've heard good things about it.

I finally finished "Peter and the Star Catchers" the "prequel" story about the origin of Peter Pan and was very satisifed with the story. I hope they do a "sequel" to this one to fill in the years between this book, which ends with Peter becoming the Boy Who Could Fly and naming the island he is staying on after the boat he was on "Neverland" and having the Starcatchers use the Star Stuff to creat a pixie named Tinkerbell to look after him. We need to find out how the island got to another dimension and all the other stuff between then and when he met Wendy, John and Michael and had the adventure that we are all familer with.
After that I am waiting for Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince. Can't imagine who it is or what happens to Harry and friends in this newest book, but we are nearing the end of Harry's story and that is sad.
I just finished founding brothers. I haven't had a chance to go get a new book yet. Can anyone recommend any good non-fiction books?
I'm Reading How to be like Walt for fun, Interesting book, it's really a Self-Help Book. It's a Quick Read. Also reading Blue Yonder by Stephen Ambrose
Mouse Tales and More Mouse Tales are a great set!!!
"Somewhere under the sea and beyond your imagination is an adventure in fantasy."

Once July 16th comes...Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I've been re-reading the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman. They're working on the movie version(s) right now, so I gotta refresh my memory!
"I don't need intelligent drugs because I don't know what they are. But I will put anything into my mouth that is given to me, whether it's supposed to go there or not. Because... I'm different."
I finished my Paul Theroux short stories and picked up more Augesten Burroughs. I need to find something more "permanent" before I get swept away with Disney review materials.
Haha.. I just bought the Wicked piano book just a couple of days ago as well!
Right now I'm reading Wicked for the second time.
