What are you reading?
Never rated The Lost Symbol last nite, cos I couldn't get into it. Maybe his last 1 I just can't understand. Might need to read it instead of listening to.

I still need to watch the film.
I'd read the Book First.....No offence meant.I saw the film first and they seem to have changed lot and so I couldn't get onto the book...Give me tome to forget the film and then I'll try again!
I'm struggling to decide on what to read once I'm done with Blood Meridian. I've managed to narrow it down between Frankenstein and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories.
I'm starting Every Living Thing which is the last of the series All Creatures Great and Small. I have loved all of the books in the series and am a little sad that it is coming to an end. I so wish I could have met James Herriot.
Just finished I, Alex Cross - James Patterson
I am hoping to finish up Frankenstein and The Great Gatsby this weekend, and start A Dirty Job.
Started Frankenstein, and will be starting A Northern Light today.
I was going to start Frankenstein but I decided to go for something a bit different and I'm now reading Blood of the Fold.

Yeah, it's the 3rd book in the series. I'm enjoying it, even if there are some cringe worthy cliche's scattered throughout. It's definitely not without flaws but I'm finding the good outweighs the bad. I'm going back and forth between this series and The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Jim Butcher's series is much more enjoyable for me.

I hope you enjoy.
I decided to cheer myself up due to rotten weather so am rereading A YEAR IN PROVENCE.Plus it will clear my head for some intense reads that are next!
Decided to read The Quickie - James Patterson & Michael Ledwidge.
I'm reading Victory Conditions by Elizabeth Moon. It's the 4th book & very good. Interesting SF adventure with a really well done heroine.
Also re-listening to The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown.

I'm reading This lullaby
By Sarah Dressen first time I've read anything by her.
Of course love to. So far very good drawing me into it very realistic about a high school graduate about to go to college age. So very much older YA I'm thinking.
Now I am going to listen to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris.
Just finished listening to Red Dragon - Thomas Harris and now I am listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris.
Just finished listening to The Silence of the Lambs - Thomas Harris. In the morning I will listen to Hannibal - Thomas Harris.
Have Finished A YEAR IN PROVENCE.also THE DIARY OF APROVINCIAL LADY and have started DROOD by Dan Simmons,looking good!
I have been reading The time Travellers Wife, I have got about 100 pages left so I'm hoping to finish it today.
I finished The Time Travellers Wife and gave it 3 stars. I am now reading 1984.
Has anyone read any of Debbie Macomber books? How are they?
I am currently reading Shiver and still working on book one of the Vampire Diaries.
Along with Frankenstein I'm continuing with the Sword of Truth series, I'm on the 4th book now, it's called Temple of the Winds. Not sure whether to finish off this series and then continue with the Dresden Files or to go back and forth between the two so they don't get stale. Both are very long series, I have 7 more books in the Sword of Truth to read and 8 more in the Dresden Files.

I'm reading John Grisham The Client. I'm enjoying it but when I put it down and then pick it up again it feel extra pages have been added. Do that make sents or am I going round the bend lol.

Oh me too, I'm crazy of C&H! I wish they had some merchandise on it, my room would have been littered with it then!

Same here, all I have is the complete collection which sent me back $120, but it was well worth it. Before I had random books of his work. Like Homicidal Psycho Jungle Cat. It's definitely one of my most prized possessions. Which is probably a little sad lol.

But that's a good one though. Haha! I haven't bought any of his books yet, but I'm hoping to treat myself for Christmas! I remember once wading through a whole mall scouting for C&H tees or calendars, way before I learnt Bill Watterson didn't market on its popularity. Ah well, that didn't stop me making my own wallpapers and collages. :)
Having such a slow month so far. So I am still reading The Colour of Heaven - James Runice.
