Our local library is very deficient in the comic/graphic novel/art book department. I'll have to see if I can find it at the city library near my office.

[Sarah]

My local library has very little, but the inter branch loan system is my friend.

[~Geektastic~]

I wish our inter-library loan system was better. The system only loans between 3 small libraries, with very little difference in their catalogs. Ours is actually the largest of the 3.

I listened to that a while ago. I enjoyed it.

My local library just hooked up with the Ohio university library inter-library loan system, so in addition to requesting books from other public libraries in the whole state, I can request them from college libraries too!

[AmyK]

Currently reading Out of Oz After that 11/22/63 then.....i haven't decided.

Ooooh. Sometimes I wistfully page through the offerings at the County system rather than the city. I think I could probably get a card in the county if I tried, but I'm loyal.

[janine]

You can't have both?

[Sally, la reina]

One of my favorite books about writing is Bird by Bird.

[Sally, la reina]

I'm reading Three Junes.

Sally wrote: "I'm reading Three Junes."

I liked that one a lot.

Sally wrote: "I'm reading Three Junes."

I just checked out Three Junes from the library. It's next on my list.

[RandomAnthony]

I finished Murakami's 920 page 19Q4 last night. Tonight I'm starting Fante's Ask The Dust.

[Sally, la reina]

Can I trade you my copy of Three Junes for your 18Q4 when I'm finished with it?

[Angela~twistedmind~]

The Shadow Sorceress by L.E. Modesitt Jr.. This is the 4th book in the Spellsong Cycle Series.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just started A Taste For Death and I'm nearing the end of The Logic of Collective Action: Public Goods and the Theory of Groups.

[Janice]

I just finished On Writing and December 6. I'm debating between starting The Postmistress or The Snow Whale.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read Borstal Girl - Eileen MacKenney and A Wayne in a Manger - Gervase Phinn. Now I am about to carry on reading Time Bomb - Jonathan Kellerman

[Jammies]

I think I'm going to re-read The Wind in the Willows tonight--I need some comfort reading.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just finished Fools for Scandal: How the Media Invented Whitewater. Excellente.

[Phil]

I was at Barnes & Noble a few days ago, waiting for my wife to finish shopping at Bath & Body Works. Can't leave a bookstore without a purchase, right? So I bought one.

When I got home, I looked it up on GR. Perhaps I should have done that first. Turns out it has received lukewarm reviews, including one from our very own LG.

The book is The Princess of Burundi and I swear it looked interesting as I browsed it in the store.

[janine]

It could still be good.

[Phil]

I hope so. It's on my TBR list.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The cover looked kind of interesting to me at first, too. Tree trunks, a snowy forest. Oh well. What are you gonna do.

I'm in the middle of Hatchet Jobs: Writings on Contemporary Fiction.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Have just finished the immensely enjoyable A Redbird Christmas - Fannie Flagg. I am now about to embark on reading Private London - James Patterson.

[Lee]

same here, but I couldnt wait any more, I am starting this, while I am in the middle of the Sword of Truth Series for the 7th time ( I always re-read the series when a new book is released); while also at book 2 of the Walking Dead graphic novel series, but those books I spend for time waiting for them to come in the mail than I do reading them, only takes an hour and a half to read a whole book. Oh and I have Pillars of the Earth on my iPhone for when Im on the road...... I know, Im trying to reach my goal of 200 books read this year alone, and I only started it in March

[Sally, la reina]

Whoa, I guess I did know those were graphic novels. I liked the tv show...cool!

[Andrea]

Sally wrote: "Whoa, I guess I did know those were graphic novels. I liked the tv show...cool!"

yea the books story line is different and actually better than the show.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Has just finished Private London - James Patterson. In morning I will read There's Something About Christmas - Debbie Macomber.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Finished Hatchet Jobs, re-read Out of the Silent Planet, started America's Coming-of-Age.

[Cheri]

Their Last Suppers: Legends of History and Their Final Meals finishing up. Then on to Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art
I got on this art theft binge and can't stop. I don't even know art but I am learning a lot about stealing it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

You sound like a good candidate for Jonathan's book, then.

The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just started The Conscience of the Rich.

[Cheri]

The binge started with The Forger's Spell: A True Story of Vermeer, Nazis, and the Greatest Art Hoax of the Twentieth Century which was about van Meegeren. Then went on to The Rescue Artist: A True Story of Art, Thieves, and the Hunt for a Missing Masterpiece. Then The Gardner Heist: The True Story of the World's Largest Unsolved Art Theft. I'll look into Jonathan's book after I finish Provenance: How a Con Man and a Forger Rewrote the History of Modern Art then maybe I can move on to something else.

[Janice]

I started The Postmistress last night (paperback) and will start the audiobook, Great Expectations on my way to town this morning.

[Andrea]

You'll need the pick-me-up of Christmas Carol after Jude. Heck of a choice for the holidays, Charly.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just started Christianity, Social Tolerance, and Homosexuality: Gay People in Western Europe from the Beginning of the Christian Era to the Fourteenth Century: Gay ... of the Christian Era to the 14th Century

[Angela~twistedmind~]

I've been reading My Sister's Keeper byJodi Picoult the last couple of days. The subject and the superb writing make it very hard to put down.

I liked that one. I'm not a big "topical fiction" fan, which seems to be her usual focus, but I thought it was handled very well. I liked the lawyer character a lot.

I like him, too. I'm dying to find out just exactly why he has his constant companion.

I've never read anything she's written but I've heard so many rave reviews about this one. I finally decided I could step away from my usual genres to see what all the fuss was about.

[Janice]

Started listening to The Alchemy of Stone. So far, I'm enjoying it.

[Louise]

Just started Good Offices for my 52 books around the world challenge.
