I will actually be upset if Harry doesn't die in this last one -- I honestly think that's how she's been writing it and I don't see another coherent way out of it. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am. What I'm really really worried about is learning the ending by accident in a review or something!

I read "The Piano Tuner" a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I would be interested in hearing your opinion. I don't want to give my impressions until after you are finished.

Now, I am reading "A Trip to the Beach" which is a non-fiction book written by a couple from Vermont who moved to Anguilla and opened a restaurant.

I plan on reading "All Souls" next. I just moved to the Boston area and am anxious to get to know the city thru books.

Currently reading "The Messenger" by Daniel Silva- very interesting. Recently finished The Handmaids Tale which I recommend highly by Margaret Atwood. Have a great day!


Kate - I hear you about Harry Potter, people started to give away pieces of it, so I just put the rest of my books down and read it because I was afraid I'd learn too much.
Im currently reading:
Omnivore's Dilemma for the Rhythm and Muse book group.
Jesus Land by Julia Sheers


Cuttenrly reading >Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance< by Robert M. Pirsig




Ongoing reads:
This Book Will Change Your Life is a little hard to describe. Part philosophy, part self-help guide, part psychoanarchy. It's funny and bizarre. It offers daily instructions with the goal of pushing you into new thought patterns and making you laugh too.
And
The Zombie Survival Guide: 2008 Day-to-Day Calendar because the zombie apocalypse is coming.






Enjoy the Foundation, and the ones that come afterward too!




Currently working on "This is a Bust" by Ed Lin. Next up is "Black Mass" about that lovable scamp, Whitey Bulger.

I just finished reading Beowulf again too.

Juliana-Blindness is such a great book...I read it last month but have yet to see the movie


I'm now reading Tim Moore's Travels with My Donkey: One Man and His Ass on a Pilgrimage to Santiago which, so far, is quite funny and engaging.


I'm now reading Counter Clock World by Philip Dick and am going to start David Sedaris' When You are Engulfed in Flames.

Now I have a $25 gift card to B&N that I need to spend. So this thread will be great for suggestions :D


Don't know what I'm going to read next yet. My list of books to read is so long; I don't know where to begin.

As a teenager I read a bunch of Asimov and about three years ago decided to read the entire Robot/Empire/Foundation series in chronological order. My next title to read is Prelude to Foundation. A lot of the early robot stuff is fun, but so far I'm finding the rest kind of dry.

Right now I'm working on Don Quixote and 101 Arabian Knights but not making much progress on either.
I am finding them quite enjoyable and plan on cutting back on some other things to spend more time reading.
