Annie | 34 comments I am about 200 pages into The Stand. So far, I am loving it. Perfect blizzard material!


message 2506: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments I've finished a "buddy read" The Forgotten, which was a little too military hero for my taste. I discovered a new (to me) author, Lewis Nordan, who unfortunately passed away but wrote some pretty interesting books, Sharpshooter Blues being the first I will read. Right now in the middle of G. Flynn's Dark Places. It's not something to read if you can't take gloom and depression, but I'm finding it beautifully sad.

I read as first 'B is for Burglar' and now I'm trying to make order in the series. Q is very
is still far, but I hope to read all these books before the end of this year. I like the character of Kinsey and the story are a gradual collection of clues until the discovery of the killer.

Michael, I absolutely love that book! Great choice.
I recomend all books by Lauren Beukes to everyone who love Stephen King's work. She has that supernatural flair, and amazing ability to complitely hook you up on the story.

Loved it! Don't think I agree with King's opinion on the assassination but I really loved the book. Another masterpiece from Stephen King.

Thanks, Susan! Good to know. I've put is aside for the moment to see if it wins the March Horror Afficianado's poll. For now and am reading Doug Clegg's Goat Dance by Douglas Clegg instead.

Rhian (rhianlovesbooksx1f4d6) | 508 comments Started the girl with the dragon tattoo last night I absolutely hated the first 50 pages and wanted to ditch it for the 2nd time but another 50 pages in and I started to get into it


message 2519: by Betsy (new)

Betsy Hetzel | 469 comments Rhian, I don't know anyone who "liked" the 1st 100+ pages of THE GIRL with.... Larsson had so much to set up so that the rest of the book's plot would make sense but.... I'm SO glad that you persevered because you are so right.... the more you read of it, the BETTER and better it gets! Hope that you continue w/ the trilogy!


message 2520: by Rhian (new)

Rhian (rhianlovesbooksx1f4d6) | 508 comments @Betsy I'm sure I will enjoy it now I got passed the horrible bit, I first tried reading it 2 years ago but gave up at 50 pages but I bought the trilogy so was determined to give it another go


message 2521: by [deleted user] (new)

I thought the movie was good but remember thinking, "man, I don't think I could ever read the book."

Kandice | 4387 comments I started The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri last night because it was my library book club's choice for the month. I had been putting it off because there were so many negative reviews on here, but I'm actually loving it.

Kandice, My book club also read THE NAMESAKE , and we all loved it. Lahiri is a beautiful storyteller, and I remember that I got caught up in Gogol, a 2nd generation immigrant and his struggles to find his place in his Indian/American world. Lovely book!


message 2529: by José (new)

José (lectorconstante19) I bought Desperation from the book store today,I've read a few chapters on the way home really enjoying it so far.

I'm reading Last Argument of Kings on my kindle too,it's the last book of a great epic fantasy trilogy.

Nick Iuppa | 4272 comments Finished The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and Weaveworld and posted reviews on both of them. Just started Tom Robbins' Tibetan Peach Pie. Looking forward to getting back to King though... miss his brand of storytelling.


message 2534: by Annie (new)

Annie | 34 comments One time I took out Bag of Bones by King from the library. For some reason, I just couldn't get into it. I am still reading The Stand. I am about 400 pages into the uncut version and I am loving every bit of it!

Rhian, Just give it a little more time and I believe that you will change your mind on this one; I really enjoyed it ( the subject matter / thought-provoking concept)

LOVED ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE !!!! and have just started GERALD'S GAME for the March S.King BOTM , and it has my attention so far !

The Art of Racing in the Rain is one of my all time favorites... yeah, it's a tear jerker but you have to love a book narrated by a dog who isn't Cujo.


message 2539: by Kandice (new)

Kandice | 4387 comments I agree about The Art of Racing in the Rain. I read it, fell in love, and then shared it with all three of my children and many of my friends. I have few "real life" friends who are readers, but those that are have received this book as a gift. :D

It's a lovely story.

The Art of Racing in the Rain is one o..."

It was a beautifully written book, just so heartbreaking. I don't know if it's one I'll be able to reread anytime soon.

Kandice I know what you mean, none of my "real life" friends read but they should read this one! This was actually a gift from an Internet friend, not a member of this site:( no matter how much I tell him he needs to join.

I'm reading The Labyrinth from a couple of week. It's a story full of mystery and original characters. It drags you chapter after chapter, while growing a feeling of fear and expectation.

Chelsey Stonehouse I am reading A Dance with Dragons and The Elfstones of Shannara!

Chelsey Stonehouse I heard that was suppose to be good!


message 2546: by Terri (new)

Terri | 41 comments I'm about half way thru The Long Walk, not sure if what I think of it yet, I am enjoying it enough not to give it up (althou I don't now if it's just the copy that I have but there is soo many spelling errors) . But I keep asking Why? why?


message 2547: by Vale (new)

Vale (vahyso) I've been reading Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris
I've been a bit slow lately because I've been dividing my interests up a bit instead of just reading all the time, so I'm probably finally going to settle in to my original goal for 2015 of one book a week :)


message 2549: by Kenneth (new)

Kenneth McKinley | 277 comments Reading The Dunwich Horror by H.P. Lovecraft and loving it, so far.


message 2550: by E. (new)

E. | 242 comments Vada, at first glance I thought your goal was "2015 books in one week". I was like, holy cow! That's impressive... but then I read it again.
"Me Talk Pretty.." has quite the polarized reviews. What do you think about it so far?
