And lastly, even though they're instructional manuals/pattern books, I found both Stitch 'N Bitch and Stitch 'N Bitch Nation, (both by Debbie Stoller), really fun reads. They're actually readable and entertaining in addition to being informative.
... They aren't here yet, but last night I ordered Stitch N Bitch and Stitch N Bitch Nation from Chapters. I had a gift card, so it was like getting them for only $3 each after I'd subtracted the gc amount, and I persuaded my mother to buy something as well so I could get free shipping. :) I think I have to go with Stitch 'N Bitch by Debbie Stoller or The Elfquest Gatherum ed. by Dwight Decker; I always like reading engaging things about topics I enjoy, and both of these fit the bill.

9. Fingersmith by Sarah W ... I've just started Stitch 'N Bitch by Debbie Stoller as my non-fiction read. I borrowed it from the library for the patterns and was surprised at how much actual writing there is to it. I've been a knitter since I was five years old, so I'm looking forward to finally reading something about ... ... my son.
