Steampunk Star Wars!

Anyone own a copy of “Water For Elephants” that I could borrow until mine arrives? I really wanted the audio book so I can “read” while I knit, or drive, but it was $10 more, and the library is all out.
We started a book club at work, which I think is a wonderful idea
I’m happy to say even though I spend roughly 40 hours a week with my coworkers, I still want to spend extra time with them outside of work. This pleases me.
Books we are going to read in the very near future:currently reading “Water for Elephants”
Next will be either “The Kite Runner” or “A Clockwork Orange” (we even have some people who have never seen the movie)
Then “The World Without Us”
and “House of Leaves”
All of these have been on my to-read list for some time, so this is good.
Also in the queue:
currently reading “Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at large in the World”, which is excellent
just finished “Once Removed”, which was a neat little story about two step-sisters, one American and one Japanese
also just finished (I’m not a monogamous reader) “The Poisonwood Bible” which was good, but about 100 pages too long.
When I have time I will read “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan”
and “The Glass Castle” (I think that’s what it’s called…)
I used to be a voracious reader, but haven’t read something consistently in a while. It feels good to get back into it.
Also, a wonderful tidbit from Neil: The introduction he wrote for a book called “The Fairy Feller’s Master Stroke”. I Love the man so much.
