Karen’s comments from the What should I read next?: The book ending support group group.

I really enjoyed The Hobbit. I wish I had read it when I was 8 or 10 but I'm glad I did read it. I do have the LOTR books (I have three but it's just one book right?) and will read those sometime too.

I just finished "A Lion Among Men" by Gregory Maguire and started "The Book of Lies" by Brad Meltzer. A Lion Among Men was pretty good. It filled in alot of questions from the previous two books in the series and left me wanting more.

I am reading "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Gosh my boyfriend isn't a reader either though I've tried to give and buy him books I think he would like. He still hasn't read them of course. lol... I just finished My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and I'm thinking of reading Dante's Divine Comedy next. I try to read a variety of books, but I love reading about history and auto- and biographies. I was reading two books at once but lately I've been sticking to only one. Glad to be a part of this group!

I just joined too. I am reading "Rattlesnake Lawyer" by Jonathan Miller. He writes New Mexico-based thrillers and I enjoy them since I am from NM and his descriptions of the area are authentic.

What is it about summer that makes us want to read classics?

Well I made the goal of reading a few classics this summer. I started with Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen and next will probably be Dante's Divine Comedy. I think I will add Jane Eyre to the list for the summer now. Thanks!
