1 - Julie & Julia
2 - The Olive Farm
3 - Playing With Trains
4 - Queens in the Kingdom
5 - Tender at the Bone
6 - Comfort Me with Apples
7 - Garlic and Saphires
8 - The Kid by Dan Savage
9 - Memory in Death by J.D. Robb
10 - Since The World Began: Walt Disney World, the First 25 Years by Jeff Kurtii
11 - Inkheart by Cornelia Funke
12 - Airborn by Kenneth Oppel
13 - Skybreaker by Kenneth Oppel

14 - The Resuce Artist, by Edward Dolnick - This was a good read and astonishingly eye opening about the security (or lack thereof) surrounding priceless masterpieces the world over.

15 - The Commitment, Love, Sex, Marriage and My Family, by Dan Savage - This book is fantastic on it's own but as someone with in interest in the Brian/Justin dynamic his take on monogamy, marriage, long term relationships etc. is fascinating. I would love to quote you his entire section on monogamy and just say, "This is where the boys are at in their relationship in Changes!" Anyway, read The Kid and then read this.

We just finished reading this in my class --
and my students pointed out some of the similarities,
especially in the age difference between Dan and
Terry.

I enjoyed "The Kid" and "The Commitment" very much but I am occasionally unsettled by the way Dan Savage talks about his partner, Terry. A lot of it is played for laughs but a few times in these books and in a couple of pieces written for "This American Life" I wanted Terry to have equal time to tell his side of the story.
