What are you currently reading? 

Eaarth by Bill McKibben

Good stuff.  McKibben's main premise is that the planet we live on is no longer the planet upon which we evolved -- Eaarth is his name for this new world.  "It still looks familiar enough -- we're still the third rock out from the sun, still three-quarters water.  Gravity still pertains; we're still earthlike. But it's odd enough to constantly remind us how profoundly we've altered the only place we've ever known" (McKibben, p.3).

What did you recently finish reading?

A Great Deliverance by Elizabeth George

A new mystery series -- new for me, that is -- this is the first in the series and it was published in 1988.  So I'm looking forward to more from this author -- I need to remember to figure out which is next in the series.  

What do you think you'll read next?

The Monsters of Florence by Douglas Preston -- It's my book club book for this month.  Non-fiction.  It's about a serial killer in (go figure) Florence.  I'm not super looking forward to it, but a friend who has already started reading it says that there is quite a lot about the culture and how every generation/country/culture has its own serial killer but that the type varies accordingly.  That sounds like an interesting idea.
