message 901: by Susanna (new)

Susanna (jb_slasher) I decided to try to re-read the HP series before the last two movies come out. I'm not a big fan but my best friend has the series so I'm borrowing them one at a time. So, next up is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone .

Catamorandi (wwwgoodreadscomprofilerandi) | 1045 comments Hi everyone! I haven't been around for four weeks because I was in the hospital for back to back strokes. My next book will be the audiotape of The Time Traveller's Wife.

I'm only a couple pages in and I already get what you mean. 0.0 If I read it like fiction, it's not too bad (like you said, entertaining enough), but trying to consider it nonfiction is a pretty big stretch.


message 907: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 310 comments I'm usually too much of an impulse reader to compile a list of my next 5 reads but here's what I have planned:

Blindness by Jose Saramago (currently reading)
Gunpowder by Joe Hill
Bag of Bones by Stephen King
Dracula by Bram Stoker
The Passage by Justin Cronin


message 908: by Sasha (new)

Sasha I love Blindness. Recently saw the movie, and it was remarkably accurate to the book but strangely lifeless.


message 909: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 310 comments Blindness is sort of driving me crazy right now. I'm into the story which makes me feel like I should be further along in the book than I am. The writing is tripping me up and slowing me down. Or I've just been to tired to read lately.


message 910: by Susanna (new)

Susanna (jb_slasher) Going away for the weekend. I'll most likely finish HP #1 so I'm also taking along This Side of Brightness by Colum McCann, my first from him.


message 911: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (eclecticreading) I'll probably be reading Reich's Rules of Vengeance, Morton's The Forgotten Garden and/or Waugh's Brideshead Revisited next.

My gosh Catamorandi! My prayers are with you! I wish you a speedy recovery.

Cortney Jean Once again, another trip to the library and I leave fairly full-handed.

- Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eoin Colfer
- A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
- The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner
- Fatherhood by Bill Cosby

The last one was a pick from my boyfriend since he believes Bill Cosby to be the ultimate role model considering we have our own little one on the way. I figured I would give it a shot too once he was done, especially since the librarian was raving about it when we checked out. The others are just off my to-read list, which is (sadly) getting smaller...


message 914: by Rachel (new)

Rachel | 310 comments Finished Blindness, on to Gunpowder.


message 915: by Bhumi (new)

Bhumi | 524 comments Just finished Mary by Vladimir Nabokov. Next up is To Kill a Mockingbird. This will be the first time I'm reading this!


message 916: by Carol (new)

Carol To Kill A Mockingbird Is one of my favorites.


message 917: by Bhumi (new)

Bhumi | 524 comments Yup, I've heard that it's fantastic. Can't wait to read it!


message 918: by F1Wild (last edited Jun 20, 2010 01:57AM) (new)

F1Wild One of my all-time favorites as well as the fantastic movie. Speaking of TKaM, I'm hoping to read Scout, Atticus, and Boo: A Celebration of Fifty Years of To Kill a Mockingbird by Mary Murphy soon...oh, what the hell - just ordered the sample! ;-)


message 919: by Myne (new)

Myne Whitman | 15 comments Can't wait to jump into A Thousand Splendid Suns

Myne Whitman | 15 comments No I haven't but I saw the movie. I intend to read it but I had to get this first.

Jennifer | 212 comments I hope you like it!

message 933: by Felina (last edited Jun 23, 2010 02:15PM) (new)

Felina My tiny tbr list:

Horns - Joe Hill
Blindness - Jose Saramego
The City & The City - China (something something)
The Cat Among Pigeons - Agatha Christi
Nefertiti - Michelle Moran

Having add book/author down is really ruining my groove. It was the only thing that eased my fears about misspellings (or is is mis-spellings or missspellings, perhaps mispellings?). Forgive me group!


message 934: by Carol (last edited Jun 23, 2010 02:14PM) (new)

Carol Felina meet me at The Grove to get back your groove.

Regards
Miss Spelling

:)


message 935: by Felina (new)

Felina Suck! I'm going to go back and edit it so I don't look stupid to anybody but Miss Spelling.


message 936: by Felina (new)

Felina Ha ha...what Carol? What are you talking about? *shifts eyes*


message 937: by Carol (new)

Carol Spell check for me. I am a notoriously bad speller. LOL

Hi Felina - I'm currently listening to Horns on audio and it has got me totally hooked. Joe Hill is one sick man.
I hope you enjoy it!


message 939: by Felina (new)

Felina I've read Heart-Shaped Box and really enjoyed it. I'm a Stephen King fan so it only seemed logical to become a Joe Hill fan to. :)

Mafi 1 - The Undomestic Godness by Shophie Kinsella
2 - Sweet Nothings by Catherine Anderson
3 - The Cupid Effect by Dorothy Koomson

I know I am late answering you but I am the one who nominated it. Too bad it didn't win! I am still going to read it though ;-)

Ah, NP! It's high on my TBR list as well!

Karendenice I think I missed something? What book won?


message 945: by F1Wild (new)

F1Wild You can find them under "General" "July's Group Reads Are" - 2nd page.

"Here are the two winners for the July Group Read...

Reg cat: THE PASSAGE - Justin Cronin
Under 200: FRANKENSTIEN - Mary Shelley"


message 946: by Madeline (new)

Madeline | 293 comments I finally started Persuasion, then I'll read John F. Kennedy Lives in the Future! from my firstreads pile, then The Epic of Gilgamesh. One for me one for them, that's my current strategy!


message 947: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (eclecticreading) I might read either Puzo's The Family, Stone's The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo, Waugh's Brideshead Revisited or Kay's Tigana next, lol. I have a lot of choices at this point; might even start tackling one of my really thick books (i.e. Tolstoy's Anna Karenina or Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov).


message 948: by Kristin (new)

Kristin | 53 comments I need suggestions. I'm going to finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo today. In the next hour probably. Then we're heading to the beach this afternoon and I MUST have a book. I always read at least one (usually more) "classics" over the summer. I am torn - Rebecca, Katherine, or Of Mice and Men???? I'm leaning towards the first two but am looking for help deciding (the sooner the better please!). Also, I have lots of other classics sitting in my TBR pile so I'll gladly take other suggestions if you have them. Thanks friends!


message 949: by Carol (new)

Carol I read Katherine many years ago. Go for it. it is a historical classic and Anya Seton always did a nice job.


message 950: by Petra (new)

Petra Kristin, great book choices! For the beach, I think I'd start Katherine. It sounds like a perfect beach choice (I've added it to my TBR list).
