What I'm Reading Now
(updated 3/11/2000) (Yeah, yeah, yeah - I need to update this again. 8/30/2000 :o)

Reading into the nightShadow in the North by Philip Pullman
The sequel to The Ruby in the Smoke features Sally Lockhart, now 22 years old and running her own business. Set in England in 1878, this is a good historical novel for teens, but we grown-ups can enjoy it too.

Captured by Aliens: The Search for Life and Truth in a Very Large Universe by Joel Achenbach
Achenbach, a Washington Post reporter and former Why Things Are columnist, does everything from interviewing Carl Sagan to attending a UFO convention in his exploration of the search for extraterrestrial life.

Organizing from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern
I usually don't buy these sorts of books because there are so many of them telling you what to do with your life, but I heard an interview with Morgenstern on NPR's Fresh Air last year. I had scribbled her name down then, and now that I'm trying to reorganize my apartment to make better use of my space, this has helped me reassess what goes where without being overwhelmed by the task.
