How was the Led Zeppelin book Scott? Love classic R&R and love reading about the groups.

Reading a medical thriller by Robin Cook Cell. So far, so good. This would be a great book for a group read.
I read R.Cook's Invasion 2 months ago. It was good but it was translated. I don't know how I managed to read books before that were not in English (at least by English writing authors). It is such a big difference...especially if you have a lousy translation.

currently I'm reading Cannery Rowlove John Steinbeck1Q84(this one is taking me a little while) The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay(I am in love with this book even though it's been taking me a while to finish it)Absalom, Absalom!(very very difficult, I find it a bit easier to understand when I read it out loud) Those are all books I'm working on for my Ultimate Insanity Book challenge of over 1700 books to read before I die. What I'm reading for pure pleasure and to take a mental break from life and the harder books are generally romance in nature though at the moment the books listed are the only ones I'm reading.

Making my way through
, which is a thrilling, awesome read! This is my second Jeff Abbot/Sam Capra novel, and I believe I'm hooked!I can't wait to start
, which is going to be my next read.
I'm reading a nonfiction book:
I am going to start reading A LOT more nonfiction. I just challenged myself to read 50 nonfiction books this year.
Impulsively set aside The Island Of Death at 60% to start Robert Plant: A Life, one of the many rock bio's I have queued up for this year. Not that the other book is dragging - it is actually quite decent, but I am weird like that. Easily distracted and always looking for something else to read. Chuck, that is an absolutely fantastic goal for nonfiction. Good luck and happy reading. That book does look intriguing.
I've spent all day and night until 5am reading Words of Radiance
I was reading for about 20 hours and I finished it, it was awesome:o I'm maybe startingThe Abominable
today.
Jeez, I wish I had the stamina to do that. I used to be able to, but not any more. I am hoping to get through
and
quickly, both quite good so far. But I really want to finish
I am not allowing myself to read it until I have finished the other two though.
Emma I'm regretting it now,lol. My eyes are so sore this morning, but I couldn't stop reading it. Thankfully I've got nothing to do today so I'm going to have a bit of a sleep in a minute. That should help some:)
Yes, Emma, I have the second book just waiting. I was trying to catch up on some of my other four books first but the Alex Rider series is a quick, easy read. I'll start on the second book anytime you're ready.
Sorry Cindy I thought you said you were almost finished the second one. Was wondering if it was good :)
I'm an idiot! Reading so many books I can't keep track. Yes, I have read Point Blank. Sorry, I'm gonna be starting Skeleton Key next. I apologize.
Now, that I can take my mind off 1984 for a second I can recall the second Alex Rider book. I actually liked it better than the first one. Sorry for the confusion. I have too many books going.
I was so caught up in 1984 that I really did forget I had read the second book in the Alex Rider series. I'm gonna start the third one here in the next day or two.
That's okay, you must really have enjoyed 1984, which is great, if a book can make you forgot about another book, that's fantastic
I'm not finished with it yet, but I am enjoying it a great deal. Really makes you think.

I apologize."I'd do a fast read of that with you Cindy. I've got book three waiting to be read. And as you say it takes hardly anytime at all to read. It will be good to read something quick in between all those long books:-)
I'm thinking of starting this Scott Nicholson book, Solom: The Scarecrow this evening. Has anyone read this one?
@Angie - Sounds like a plan to me. I started it earlier tonight, but I'm only 37 pages in.
Lina wrote: "Currently reading A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. It is beyond huge."Are you enjoying the book to the TV show Lina? I loved the books much more. So much more info in them.
I'm trying to read Flowers for Algernon but I'm having a really hard time with it. I think this is one I'll have to read in spurts. I do think it's a good read though.Other than that, I've been having a bad year so far. I Can. Not. find anything that is holding my interest regardless what genre I try to read. I've read a few re-reads so far, but haven't been able to read a new book :(
I'm reading Son of a Witch. I'm 34% in...I'm still not sure what to think! Get back to me in a little bit :)
@Malina: I saw that book at the bookstore and almost got it. I picked up a good dozen other books awesome though. Maybe it's time to go back. Reading The Selected Short Stories ofAlice Munro.
Hey D! I'll let you know if it's as good as it seems! You need to get a Kindle then I could share it!
