Luciana Damasceno (lucydamasceno) | 77 comments I am reading Lock In by John Scalzi , it is a really good science fiction book, and all starts with a flu - maybe influenced by The Stand?

E. | 242 comments Nos4a2. I'm really impressed. The characters are great, the story is well paced, even funny at times. About 2/3 through it. I'm hoping the ending is satisfying. Already looking forward to another Joe Hill book

I looked at some ratings and they were all over the map. I decided not to read any and at least attempt to go in with a clear mind, but I'm glad someone can say they enjoyed it!

I really loved that book and I did find it very funny. Liked the ending too.

The Dead Town, the final book in the Frankenstein series by Dean Koontz.

Cody Vaters | 118 comments Autumn: Disintegration (Autumn #4) by David Moody, one of my favourite authors. Loved the first three in the series, but the first I read this one i didn't like it... So I'm giving it another chance! :)

Joan (joanofsnark) | 79 comments Reading "Hearts in Atlantis"


message 1770: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments Just finished Horns. The story was great, lots of jumping back and forth to the past which wasn't distracting but it made me wonder how the movie would reflect that. I wish more of "why" and "how" had been explored, or at least expanded on (the figurines, treehouse, etc) and the ending, well....was ok. It certainly didn't put me off of Joe Hill, just started Heart Shaped Box and looking forward to it.

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments 50 pages to go in Underworld, 2/3 done with The Pale King, 400 pages to go in IT, 1/2 way done with Stone Junction, and just making a dent in Bloody Bess and the Doomsday Games.

I just recently finished IT.


message 1777: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 57 comments Almost done with Blood of Olympus, halfway through The Red Pyramid, and about 30 pages into When We Were Romans.


message 1778: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments I have taken a two week break from IT, simply because I got really wrapped up in Underworld. I am enjoying IT, but Underworld is simply stunning. DeLillo's best.


message 1779: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 57 comments I had to take a break from IT too. Probably because it is the size of two books nearly.


message 1780: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments Its big, but that didn't bother me. Underworld is 827 pages. I just felt kind of bogged down in IT.


message 1781: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 57 comments Me too. The Length didn't bother me it just seemed after a certain point that it wasn't going to end but keep going and going. Like I wasn't making any forward progress.


message 1782: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments Very true...


message 1783: by Doreen (new)

Doreen Petersen | 252 comments Just started Napoleon Bonaparte by John S.C. Abbott. It's something different.


message 1784: by Kandice (new)

Kandice | 4387 comments 20th Century Ghosts. I saw the audio at the library the other day and felt I had to snatch it up. The reader is terrific.


message 1785: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments In the middle of Heart Shaped Box. I like it, it was spooky at first. It has the feeling of a Koontz book.


message 1786: by Cody (new)

Cody Vaters | 118 comments Heart Shaped Box is, in my opinion, much better than most of Koontz new stuff, though I'm a fan of both authors.


message 1787: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments Yes I agree it's better, much better in fact. It's just a "feel" of Koontz. Mystery starts then it goes " on the road". Remnants of childhood traumas surfacing as they go. Maybe it's the dogs....

message 1788: by Leah (new)

Leah | 24 comments Wow. I feel like a lazy reader with some of you guys reading 3 or 4 books at a time. I can barely read 2 books at a time so I usually stick to 1 book. Right now I am reading Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan. The sixth book in The Wheel of Time series. I love these books but I'm having a hard time getting through this one.

Susan (edgarsden) | 88 comments I admire you people for reading few books at a time. I always read just one. Helps me focuse 100%.

Heart-shaped box is a great book ! I wanted to re-read it strait after finishing it ;).

I'm trying to read The Eyes of the Dragon, but it goes soooooo slow. I read like five pages and then find some excuse to do something else...

I only read more than one book at a time because I am always reading one ebook, one paper book, and audio-ing one book in my car whenever I drive. I can keep track of the different narrative threads because they are such different formats.

I don't read two of the same kind at once. :D


message 1791: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments Much like Kandice, I don't read the same style at once. I also reading one ebook and 4 paperbacks currently. I have three kids and a full time job, so having variety makes it fun for me when I can read. Usually, I get into a zone with one. Like this week, I have read about 350 pages in Underworld and only 20 pages in Stone Junction. I DO feel like I am able to devote myself fully as to whatever I am reading at the moment. And it helps, as with Infinite Jest, to take notes if necessary.

When I first started on Goodreads I was doing 2 books at a time but now I do 3 at a time. I think that's my personal limit and for some reason I retain a lot more this way.


message 1793: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments This is just a recent trend for me. Probably in the last year have I read multiple books simultaneously.


message 1794: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments I can rip through a good story in a few days when I just can't put it down. I also do audiobooks when I'm driving or at the park with the dogs. Others (like Dostoyevsky) may take several days to get through a few pages. They do have to be different types of books or they can bleed together - like no two Koontz books at once or I'm confused for sure.

I've read several at a time since I was in middle or high school. I also take notes on occasion especially if its part of a series in case I don't have time to re-read before the next book comes out.


message 1796: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments For my next groupn I will b reading V by Pynchon, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland by Patton Oswalt, Hey Rube by Dr. Thompson, and maybe something by one of the Beats.


message 1797: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 57 comments I am finishing The Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan and also For Whom the Bells Toll. While trying to decide which of the Stephen King books, that I recently bought, that I should read first.


message 1798: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments Danielle
What are the options?


message 1799: by Danielle (new)

Danielle | 57 comments Insomnia, Rose Madder, Desperation, and The Regulators(sp ?)


message 1800: by Jeff (new)

Jeff (thelongwait) | 293 comments I haven't read any of those :-(
