I just finished Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. I liked it, but I didn't love it as much as some of her other books. Still it was really cool to see accurate descriptions of working ecologist in fiction.

My wrist has been hurting and I'm going to be traveling for bit so I am switching for library books, which tend to be heavy hardbacks, to my e-reader. I even bought a few new e-books even though I had plenty.

I've also been reading a bunch of short stories online. I've been getting caught up with stuff I book marked earlier to read later.

Just browsing network and found this - I've recently finished Flight Behaviour as well. I really wanted to like it and couldn't. It was just too didactic for me - I read too many Sunday School books as a child and I now get twitchy whenever a book has a message - even if I completely agree with said message.
