Selma | 28 comments Just finished The Fault In Our Stars. I highly recommend this book to everyone who's up for a sweet, but at the same time a very heartbreaking and tragic love story. Couldn't stop crying while I was reading this book. Beautiful.


message 1509: by Iris (new)

Iris | 27 comments I'm currently reading forcing myself to read Wuthering Heights, because I need to know why it's considered amazing.

The last book I read which I'd recommend is Water for Elephant, I loved the writing style! I've also heard a lot about The Night Circus, but I'll get around to it in 76 years or so, when I'm done with Wuthering Heights.


message 1510: by Cate (new)

Cate I've been wanting to read Wuthering Heights for the same reason as well. I think when I was forced to read it in high school I was way too young to appreciate/understand it. However, now I question if I'll ever be ready to appreciate it. :/

Live on the edge and start reading it! I'm like, on page 12 and it only took a whole day of convincing myself.

...what?

Nikki (nikkigoerz) I'm currently reading The Casual Vacancy and am only a few pages into Atonement. I've tried to read "atonement" in the past and struggled with it but have heard that it deserves another try.
just finished Life of Pi and it was excellent.

I accidentally read Atonement twice, I didn't realize until I was over half way through, and really disliked it both times.

Oh my goodness, The Night Circus is absolutely EXCELLENT. I rarely get the chance to read anything so wonderful.

The House of Night series is very good, but there are ten books in it now, and the series is still not finished.

It gets to be quite sickening.

Liana Goode (liana_goode) | 21 comments I'm currently reading Benedict Cumberbatch: Behind the Scenes. Engaging new bio. Which is free on amazon at the moment: http://amzn.to/YrBl7F

Benedict Cumberbatch has become synonymous with Sherlock Holmes.

Shooting to fame with his Sherlock role he broke into Hollywood with his roles in The Hobbit and Star Trek.

From a struggling stage actor to an award-winning film and television star, Benedict’s striking looks, commanding stage presence, and warm personality have taken the world by storm.

But who is the man behind the roles?

What struggles and successes have created the man who graces the screen today?

How has a self-confessed ‘hyperactive nightmare’ and ‘tearaway’ of a boy turned into one of the busiest actors of his generation? How has he gone from Shakespeare in the park to multiplexes round the world? What’s his real story? And what’s he going to do next?

In the first major biography of the star Neil Simpson goes back to the actor’s routes to find out.

He finds an unconventional family full of drama and fun. He finds schools where Benedict sat alongside princes - and almost ended up playing princesses in drama class. He finds a man who was determined to pay his dues, learn his craft and bide his time as he found his feet in the cut-throat world of theatre and television. And he traces every step Benedict took on the long, hard road to Hollywood.

This is the real Benedict - unvarnished and close-up.


message 1545: by Josh (new)

Josh I'm currently reading Perelandra by C.S. Lewis. It's the second book in his Space Trilogy.

So far it has been really good. The first book, Out of the Silent Planet, was rather good as well.

YA Book Bum (crackling-bones) | 11 comments Currently I'm not reading anything except the morning newspaper but I have one book on my "should read" pile on my desk. It's called Diviners by Libra Bray. I have been procrastinating like a pro so eyeing the book is my only option right now. If anyone has read, can you please tell me if it's worth reading or not because I have bought so many books but failed because they just carried on and on so..


message 1547: by Rahil (new)

Rahil Dalal | 2 comments I just read the book titled "Agenda 21". Its a great book and I would recommend to read it at least once.


message 1548: by Betina (new)

message 1549: by low (new)

low (lows) | 9 comments I read The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater and it was really good.


message 1550: by Martin (new)

Martin Thompson (Martin_Thompson79) | 5 comments I just started reading a book yesterday called Paradise Squandered. Paradise Squandered by Alex Stefansson My friend at work recommended it to me because he knows I like to read a lot and my favorite book is Catcher in the Rye, and he said this book is a lot like that one. I just started reading it yesterday and I am almost half way done already. I didn't really know what to think about it at first, but then I got hooked. I have the whole week off work, and I'm probably going to finish it tomorrow. Anyone have any recommendations for my next book?
