What I’m Reading
This is a page I’m setting up, and will hopefully add to frequently. I am a voracious reader. I read mostly non-fiction, simply because I find that I have little time to waste on BAD fiction.
Here are just a few things I’m reading now (October, 2007):
With the Light… Vol. 1: Raising an Autistic Child Japanese Manga written from the perspective of a Mother who is raising an Autistic son, named Hikaru (“light” in Japanese).
The Jane Austen Handbook: A Sensible Yet Elegant Guide to Her World For all those readers who dream about living in Regency England, The Jane Austen Handbook offers step-by-step instructions for proper comportment in the early nineteenth century. You’ll discover:
How to Become an Accomplished Lady
How to Run a Great House
How to Indicate Interest in a Gentleman Without Seeming Forward
How to Throw a Dinner Party
How to Choose and Buy Clothing
Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism, by Jenny McCarthy I may have to post a review of this later on, but I’m just now starting it. I don’t think my kids need to be “healed” from Autism, and I don’t believe that immunizations harmed my girls. They are exactly who they are, and I love them just the way they are…Autistic or not. The thing is, though…when you’re a Mom of an Autistic child, you feel the need to read any and everything that is written on the subject. Sometimes, not such a good idea. 
Also, who can forget how annoying Jenny McCarthy was on Singled Out?
