So What Is Everyone Reading?

Hey all!

Cool new community, kudos to those who put it together!

What is everyone reading at the moment? I staved off my October-wide horror-fest when I saw that WE WERE LIARS was on the shelf at work. Anyone reading anything especially engrossing? Maybe not so great?

I just finished off Lies We Tell Ourselves, which I absolutely LOVED, omg. Is it wrong to be impressed that it was put out by a Harlequin imprint? Because I am wicked impressed, lol.

Anyway, I'm also reading lots of stuff for school, of course, but also Euphoria, which is too beautifully written for words to say.

I recently read Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters by Ben Winters. Similar to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, it takes an Austen classic and adds a little more violence (and a different kind of humor). I recommend, if you do read it, checking out the discussion questions in the back.

I am starting Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick. I read The Invention of Hugo Cabret first, for class, and Wonderstuck is around the same size and has the same feel.

I just read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane last night in an hour and I think I died a little and most definitely cried A LOT. My poor heart.

I'm currently reading Six-Gun Gorilla, a graphic novel about a disposable soldier who used to be a librarian and a gorilla who's been surgically modified and, as per the title, has giant guns. A fairly odd book to say the least, but probably one of the better graphic novels I've read in recent memory.

I'm also reading Shades of Grey: The Road to High Saffron which is quirky, British and I'm not far enough into the book to say if I like it or not.

Currently I am reading "Sharp Objects" by Gillian Flynn (Which I may like better than "Gone Girl") and "Spook" by Mary Roach.

Ha! I just noticed this was from October!

Gillian's good. Make sure to read Dark Places by her. It's a long the same vein as Sharp Objects.

I'm currently reading The Circle by Dave Eggers. I like it so far - I'm about 100 pages in. Just finished The House Girl - good book.

I just finished JUST KIDS by Patti Smith and am about to start WRAITH, the graphic novel by Joe Hill that is a companion to NOS4A2. JUST KIDS was fantastic.
