Reply #13: Just finished "Why Girls are Weird" by Pamela Ribon

it was pretty funny ... actually had laugh out loud parts to it. I've also been reading a lot of Alice Hoffman. I like her books ... I enjoy authors who use rich detail and I feel that she's one of them.

For humor, I just picked up "Legally Correct Fairy Tales" by David Fisher. It discusses the legal side to the fairy tales (like Jack and Jill v. the company that made the faulty bucket). It's pretty funny.

On a more serious note, I'm also planning to read, "Children of Israel, Children of Palestine: Our Own True Stories." I did a lot of reading this past year (for school and work I did) on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and the stories from the victims and people involved interest me more than reading what "experts" say about the situation.
