MJ’s comments from the The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List group.

I liked this book. It is a bit anticlimatic but it is only the 1st in the Vampire Huntress series. I liked the new spin on The Vampire genere. If you are into Vampire books and this to your list.

I will have to check that book out

Gregory has a new book coming out called the Other Queen about Mary Queen of Scots

Push through the school part

A time to kill? I use to read his books all the time but then just stopped. Recently I read Innoncent Man -nonfiction and then the Broker. I enjoyed both.

After reading it I went through and doubled checked my locks

I really enjoyed it. I liked the idea of the Wicked Witch of the West being misunderstood.

My favorite is actually Jackdaws.

i have never heard of this movie but i will have to check it out

During the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, Herman Webster Mudgett killed 27 people while they stayed at his hotel. Larson recreates the atmosphere of the fair and the murders in great detail. Not for the weak of heart.

Azar Nafisi tells her story of teaching women in her home about western books while living in Tehran Iran. This is a great story of the power of books and the hidden strengths of women. Nafisi's approach to telling the stories of the women in her class through the books they were studying was unigue and refreashing.

I just finished this book and thought it was interesting. It also reenforced my belief in cremation.

I read this book when I was 11. I thought it wonderfully romantic at the time.

I love anything with killer sharks in it, especially bad movies. I was delited when I was given this book about what would happen if the ancestor to the Great White Shark, Carcharodon Megalodon (Meg), was alive and well.

Has there been another book that has slithered into our culture so well. Like its title character this is a book that never dies and is constantly being reinvented by authors and Hollywood.

This is a classic read. And one of my favorite books of all time.

I have wanted to read more in the series but with all the other books I have yet to read I have not gotten around to it yet.

This is an intresting alternate look of what was going on in the world of Oz

What if Jane Erye ended without her getting together together with Mr. Rochester? In Thursday Next's world thats how it ended. But when Jane disappears from the book Thursday is called to find Jane and restore her back to the book.

A supervisor introduced me to the Disc World series by Terry Prachett. Although I am not a big fantasy fan this series always has my smiling. Of course how anyone could read about a flat world that sits on the back of 4 giant elephants who are standing on the back of a giant space turtle as the turtle swims through space and not laugh is beyond me.
