Must not have been too far...I didn't end up liking this much.

Correct. I found it readable when I started then I got bored.

Glad you enjoyed. Didn't you love the casting?

I have the next in the series but have yet to read it
currently reading Theodore Boone, Kid Lawyer
Just finished She Loves Me Not
next on my hit list is a reread of Midnight
Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen.
I'm re-reading the last couple of chapters of Catching Fire right now.
DJ, Love that story! Once you get the swing of it bouncing back and forth from story to story. Watch the movie after you've read. Very good!

I'll let you how I get on....Thanks :-)

Enjoy! The movie and the book are great companions for each other. I loved the movie casting!
I'm now on RECOLLECTIONS OF THE LAKES AND THE LAKE POETS by Thomas De Quincey.
I'm reading The Night Watch by Sarah Waters, and I plan to start reading Let the Right One In today.
Just about to start The Electric Michelangelo by Sarah Hall.
I had to put down Let the Right One In - it's not that it was bad, I was just stuck in a reading rut and had to put it down and pick up something else to get out of it.It worked like a charm! I just finished The Lake of Dead Languages and really enjoyed it!
Sarah wrote: "I'm reading The Night Watch by Sarah Waters, and I plan to start reading Let the Right One In today."I hope to read this in October.
Maisie Dobbs by Violet Winspear.Recommended to me by Yorky.
I read The Lake of Dead Languages a couple of years ago - a really good book.The Night Watch was different for Sarah Waters in that it was set in Victorian era like the previous 3 books - alot of people weren't too keen on it - took me a while to read but in the end I thought it an excellent book, quite moving.
Now onto CONFESSIONS OF A JANE AUSTEN ADDICT by Laurie Viera Rigler... Its quite amusing but as I have previously watched LOST IN AUSTEN,I don't think I'm getting the full benefit of its humor as it is to similar.Recommended and lent by KIRSTEEN.
Stuart wrote: "I am reading Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris"Very fun series of quick, relaxing reads.
Now onto THE BRONZE HORSEMAN by Paullina Simons...This will be a change of pace for me with this author as the last o e of hers that I read was THE GIRL IN TIMES SQUARE...
Ooops Change of plan I will now be reading WALDEN by Henry David Thoreau .......

It seems thay way
I just started The Alienist. I have to read it before our Book lcub meeting here at work on the 21st!
Stuart, Harris has written some other series that are fun & easy, too. Aurora Teagarden & Lily Bard are both real world mysteries. I liked the latter better, by a bit. There's also her Harper Connelly mysteries, but with a slight paranormal bend. Harper was struck by lightening & can now feel dead people. She usually gets their last impressions, too. Very cool idea & plots. Unfortunately, she's constantly on the pity pot about how tough her childhood was. I constantly want to slap her.

Jo wrote: "I'm reading The Gargoyle"Lucky you Jo!! I'm committed to another book right now but I want to read Gargoyle right after.

Hi Shelli,
I am really looking forward to reading THE BRONZE HORSEMAN, but as part of my Birthday I was given A lot of Books I wad wanting in really special dinky Editions and WALDEN was one of them and I have arranged to go and see a performance of it,so as you see I felt it most imperative that I read it before going....
Especially given that it was given to me by Husbands Sister-I may never receive such a perfect gift from her again,so I also want to get it read so that I can let her know and that hopefully next year she would be kind enough to continue in this vein for my Birthday next year.......

I just put a note in the cover to let you know, Donna.

What is it like. I know about because it crops up Paul Auster's City of Glass(?)in the New York Trilogy. Sounds like it might be hard going, is it?

Shane I'm not finding it hard going....more intriguing but if you could remind me in about a week I would have more information as for the next few days I won't have much reading time available o me...
Cheers,DJ

I love that author, I think he's great. Only read his spooky stuff though, none of his crime stuff."

I don't know whether I'll ever try his crime stuff. I was disappointed when he switched from the horror stuff :/..maybe one day.
