Updating Some Lists: Music and Books...

First, the new music added since the last Music List update: 

Covered by Katey Sagal.  Always amazed at how many talents this woman has.  Her voice is perfect for the material she chooses, and she DOES have a voice, she knows how to sing properly.  (Unlike many a pop princess these days...)
Here's a review from the SF Gate

Songs Of Anarchy: Music from Seasons 1-4
Always pretty good music on that show.  Wanted time to appreciate it better.

Songs of Anarchy:  Volume 2  Second verse, same as the first.

Wintersmith by Steeleye Span in cooperation with Terry Pratchett.  LOVE the Tiffany Aching books, absolutely adore the Nac Mac Feegle, and so this album was a natural for me.  It is fabulous.  Have liked Steeleye Span since my sister introduced me to them in the '70s.  Excellent, excellent music, and must for Pratchett fans! 



Books to be read.  Always a long list with me these days, I find interesting stuff to read faster than I can read it.  (The hazards of working in a library!)

Still Reading:  Mole People by Jennifer Toth  Interesting reading about actual people living in the tunnels under NYC.  An obvious choice for an old BATB fan like me.  Very enlightening.


Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake by Anna Quindlen  Interesting to read the midlife observations of someone whose life has had a lot more "stuff" in it than mine has.  I have no children, no big career, just the job of supporting my husband's Air Force career, and now his second job, and doing my own bit to make the world better by working in a Public Library.

Also planning to re-read The Name Of the Rose by Umberto Eco to participate in an experiment with a couple of my friends on Twitter to have a sort of small  'book discussion' group as we all three read the book.  It's not a small book. Hope we all have time! 

That's about all I've got this time.  Certainly seems enough to me!
