I read Motherhood without a Map, recently. Powerful book.
And my 4 yr old has recently discovered Matilda! Have enjoyed revisiting it lately myself!
My bedside table has the following books on it:
de Becker's Protecting the Gift and Tolkein's Fellowship of the Ring (which I'm rereading for MDC book clubs)
Scott Cunningham's Magical Household
William Goldman's The Princess Bride
Robin Hobb's Renegade's Magic (Finished last night. A great end to a series that I didn't like so much before now but stuck with because I love Robin Hobb. Not at all disappointed.)
Big Learning for Little Learners by Scott Stavros
I recently tried to read my dd's Xmas gift, a copy of Paolini's Brisingr, but just CAN'T. I remember liking Eragon, too...
