I am always reading multiple books at a time. Here's a glimpse at what I'm reading now.

Reading Memoirs:

The Friend Who Got Away

Edited by Jenny Offill and Elissa Schappell

These 20 stories of "women's true-life tales of friendships that blew up, burned out, or faded away" made me feel better about the friends that I have lost in the past. The two stories that resonated the most with me were Ann Hood's "How I Lost Her" and Helen Schulman's "First in Her Class."

Reading other Nonfiction:

This is Why You're Fat (and how to get thin forever)

By Jackie Warner

I bought this book as part of my EMAO experience. Jackie Warner's blunt style is exactly what I want in a trainer. Her food tips are excellent, and her power circuit training routines will kick your ass.

Reading Fiction:

Love in the Asylum
By Lisa Carey

A woman on an airplane gave me this book; she said that I had to read it. When I finally sat down to read this novel (six years later), I finished it in two days. The complexity of the story, which includes three narratives, is impressive, but the heart of the plot and characters moved me to tears.
