I just read "The Canon" by Natalie Angier. The subtitle is "A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science" just to give you an idea. Very fun, exciting science writing about all the stuff you either forgot or for some reason never learned, plus one chapter with a nice little discussion of the theory of evolution versus "Intelligent Design"(...I found this particularly helpful since I've never fully understood what ID is really supposed to be about anyway.) If you like popular science writing, I recommend it. I really loved it.

Thank you I shall look out for the book you mention with interest





I am about 1/2 way through shiver and love it so far. I hope the second half is as good as the first. I thought Linger was already out :(


Nadia, have you read Water for Elephants or the Gargoyle? I just read both of those and I loved them! They will grab your attention real quick :)



I agree with Water for elephants and The Gargoyle they were quality fiction and very entertaining hard to put down novels.
I'm reading Blue Bloods, its really good. But I'm reading for a school project, so I don't have a lot of time to enjoy the book like I want to.
And I'm reading the Gossip Girl prequel, It had to be you. Its amazing! Like the other Gossip Girl books.

My cousin is reading Marked right now. She said it is slow in the beginning, but gets better later on in the book. :)

You're awesome! My mom doesn't like reading the kinds of books I read, she is more of a mystery fan. LOL


I detested MARKED. Thought it was more than a waste of time. I have the 2nd & 3rd books and my niece insists I give them another try. Maybe one of these days.




I'm now reading Lost in a Good Book (The second in the Thursday Next series). The first was okay but a little too over the top for me (and I think I missed a lot of the references).
I am enjoying the second a little more, (and I found a site for that explains everything!)

Karla, I presume you read the first one? Let me know when you read this one, maybe we can discuss in private messages! I am only starting Chapter 3 now.

I ordered Fallen online and can't wait to get my hands on it. I’ll let you know if it is worth the read. Although, you will probably read it before I do - I don't think it is released in Australia till Jan :(


Karla, I started a thread on it when you get around to reading it.

It doesn't come out here until next Wednesday, the 8th. I'm thrilled I found the ARC of it at the library though, I'm fixing to start it right now!
