Stephen King's The Drawing of the Three, and Hearts in Atlantis. Also Moby Dick, V For Vendetta, and Maus.
Currently reading A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, A Clash of Kings, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and The Eyre Affair.
I'm reading a book called On the Island... & it's really good. I am about to finish this book!
I'm reading The rapture by Lauren Kate. Just started, hopefully I will understand the whole curse thing.
I'm reading The Diviners by Libba Bray and so far I am really enjoying it!
I'm currently reading legend by Marie Lu :) something tells me that I'll love this book
Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay AsherSo far I find it very very creepy.

Insurgent isn't as good as Divergent. :)

Why does everyone say so?
I loved Insurgent more :(
I just finished Divergent, my gosh it's amazing! hoping to get my hands on Insurgent some time next week (-: Though i'm out of dystopian novels sigh.
Right now i'm reading 'Boys Don't Cry' by Malorie Blackman. Generally not a fan of realistic fiction, but it's pretty good (i'm certainly hooked)
Currently reading Through the Door by Jodi Isaac. Enjoying it very much
Currently reading
I don't think I've ever fully read a Sarah Dessen book, so I'm hoping it's good.

Really? I just thought Divergent had a better pace... And, in Insurgent, Tris started acting like Bella! :P

In Insurgent 1) Tris' lovestory became a little boring 2) Characters do stupid or cliché things 3) Evil is not that clever and makes stupid decisions 4)Quite predictable storyline. So... Divergent is better!
Sorry for that. Currently reading Hallowed. First one was good :)
Done reading and watching Silver linings Playbook. Now- Crash Series by Nicole Williams or Thoughtless Series by S.C stephens ?

So, IDK about Bella's behavior!
However, I concede that Tris's behavior was extremely annoying at some times, but I think the ending of Insurgent made up for all that crap.
You may have a point though. It's been a long time since I've read Divergent. It was basically two years ago so I might have forgotten how much I've enjoyed reading it.

*scratching my head*
You do have a point guys. Like I mentioned before, I've read Divergent about two years ago so I can't judge the book fairly.
Hmmm!
When's the movie coming out? I might need to reread the books.
Just finished Revolution 19 and now onto The Maze Runner
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi. delicious!
I was stuck in a reading fog that I just got out of! I'm reading A Heat Of The Moment Thing by Maggie Le Page.
i‘m currently reading “beautiful creatures“, it‘s going good so far. It started mystyriouly and interesting, and the more i go, the more is revealed. I‘m also reading “the chronichles of narnia“, just finished the first book, hopefully will start the next one soon.
I'm reading 'All the sad young men' by F Scott Fitzgerald. It is a book of his short stories & I'm really enjoying it.
Currently reading Diary of a Mad First Lady by DiShan Washington. Pretty good so far.
I am reading She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb.
Right now i'm reading all my John Green books. I just finished Looking For Alaska and i'm on Abundance of Katherines

- Boring love story ("Just go on!")
- Cliché things (especially when they speak)
- Stupid decisions (I was boiling for some of them)
- Predicable storyline (I knew who Four/Tobias was, even before he speaks. Not a lot of surprises)
If the 2nd one is like this, should I read it? I do not want to be bored and fed up.
A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. I like that Moore's books (like Fluke)aren't predictable and boring. I hate being able to see how the plot's going to go after ten pages.

I found it more enjoyable than Divergent.
There were some stupid decisions made and some annoying cliché scenes but I've enjoyed reading it nonetheless cuz I really appreciated the ending. Sorta amazing unexpected ending.
P.S. It is a 4-stars read.

I mean, you can always stop reading or skip some pages, but usually people who dislike Divergent suddenly love Insurgent. Weird, but maybe you'll be one of them :)
PS And the ending is good!
I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Thirteen: Bitter Blood - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read Hyde, an Urban Fantasy - Lauren Stewart.
Currently reading "Golden Lily" by Richelle Mead...."Flesh and Bone" by Jonathan Maberry.....and "The Walking Dead" comics by Robert Kirkman and others

Mel, you should it a shot. You may find it worthy of your time or not. P.S. Maybe you could find an online excerpt of Insurgent.

Oh Mmm Gee!
How could you focus while reading all of those?
I usually read two books at a time but that's it.
Happy Reading!

The answer to that is: I rotate through books. Like, Starters today, Light tomorrow :) And for focusing on characters and setting and other details, it's not easy, but most of the time I manage to keep it all straight. I'm good at multitasking :)

Wow, it's fantastic. How do you even remember all the characters in these books? I tried reading 4 books at the same time and I was already confused with the amount of names. But you're great if you can handle all of them at once!

That's SO fucking amazing :)
You're pretty awesome if you could handle that.
P.S. The Truth About Forever is one of my favorite chicklits :)
