The Obamians: The Struggle Inside the White House to Redefine American Power

[[deleted user]]

Looking forward to hearing about it, Barb.

[[deleted user]]

Sweet!

*does a little dance*

[[deleted user]]

Go ahead and get down tonight, Barb!

Jinx!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I finished reading A Life For A Life - Tim Ellis and now I am going to embark on reading Road Closed - Leigh Russell.

[Chris]

Just finished Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z Brite and started on The Road by Cormac McCarthy last night.

.....I just noticed I have been on a very bleak and depressing reading frenzy lately.....it doesn't gel with my laid back nature so what gives? lol

[[deleted user]]

Yes, The Road is a bit dire, but it's good. It was a great book, but not exactly in the "feel good" genre.



I'm about 50 pages in, but it's still feeling a bit random so far. My niece assures me it's worth the effort when it comes together.

[janine]

I love The Road. But I love almost anything with cannibals in it.

[Félix]

You do not.

[janine]

As long as it's a book I do.

[Félix]

Oh okay.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Road was terrifying.

Sounds like me....I have a morbid curiosity about such things as well.

Probably explains why I own several True Crime books dealing with the subject. Just finished one on Issei Sagawa not too long ago....very demented man....fascinating, but nuttier than squirrel shit.

[Jammies]

Just finished Bitter Blood and am currently re-reading The Book of Kells.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Plan for November:

A Life For A Life - Tim Ellis
Road Closed - Leigh Russell
Silent Witness - Rebecca Forster
Chasing Amanda - Melissa Foster
Priced to Move - Ginny Aiken
Nightfall - Stephen Leather
Revelation - M.J. Mancini
The Trafficked - Lee Weeks
The Tiger's Wife - Téa Obreht

Good gravy!

*looks over at her 1 book she's managed to read so far...looks at the calendar.*

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've read 79 books so far this year Amelia and that lot is just hopefully for this month (maybe more if I can squeeze any in) x

[[deleted user]]

Good for you! I'm rather inconsistent. Sometimes I read voraciously, and others I get just as into something else, movies, crafting, painting etc. But, it changes.

I'm trying to read 52 books for the year, and I'm 2 or maybe 3 now behind schedule. Not good this close to the end of the year!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have confidence in you that you will hit the quota x

[[deleted user]]

What book I am trying to read makes a difference. Since we're going down to see my husband's side of the family over Christmas I'm trying I read the books my niece recommended last March. :). An Abundance of Katherines was short and good. That was easy. But, so far the first book in The Circle Series if proving harder to get into. It's really odd and fragmented so far. She assures me it's worth it.

*has visions of struggling through 800 pages of George R R Martin before it all made sense*

[Amy]

I'm about 75% through 1Q84 (in book 3 now). Only about a year after everyone else has read it ...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Not me, I didn't read it.

[Félix]

I didn't neither.

[janine]

Me neither!

[evie]

I didn't read it.

[Amy]

Thanks - Now I don't feel bad about procrastinating! This would have been a good book club read.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've just finished Road Closed - Leigh Russell and now thinking of reading Chasing Amanda - Melissa Foster.

[Cynthia]

I'm re-reading "The Secret History" by Donna Tartt for book group.

[Heidi]

My friends keep recommending books for me to read. I just finished a book over the weekend that my friend Lauryn's been insisting I read for the past year. It really was great - The Fault In Our Stars.

My current read is 20th Century Ghost Stories by Joe Hill, a series of short horror stories. I just finished Abraham's Boys. I loved it.

[Amy]

I read The Fault in Our Stars and really enjoyed it. Have you read any of John Green's other books? I'd like to read more of his stuff but I'm having trouble deciding which one to read next.

I only just discovered him in the past week, so to answer your question... no, not yet. Let me know if you figure out what you'll be reading next of his, though. :)

[Chris]

Finished The Road (Wonderful book by the way!) and have moved on to The House of Night series at a friend's request.

....they are not so wonderful.....they are quite annoying as a matter of fact. Problem is once I start a book or a series, I must read it through its entirety. Curse my OCD!

[[deleted user]]

Christopher, I used to do that...but as I've gotten older and feel more and more that "life is short", I've gotten better about it. :) It has only been in the last year or two that I have been able to say, "no, this really just isn't worth my time" and put a book down. Forever.

(Go to the Election thread, there's a question I've been meaning to ask you.)

[Chris]

Will do Amelia :)

[[deleted user]]

Sorry, I just finally got there to ask it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Worm Ouroboros.

[Riona]

I'm feeling uninspired right now, but I guess I should start Gone Girl since I just picked it up from the library hold shelf and there's a whole waiting list behind me...

[evie]

I finished The Fall of Troy.

[evie]

The Accidental Tourist

[Jammies]

Bring Up the Bodies

[janine]

I just started The importance of being earnest. I love Wilde.

[Chris]

Picked up and have begun reading Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar

Abandoned House of Night.....it was just too much for me. Like crossing Harry Potter with Twilight....yeesh ;)

I've been meaning to get to that! I'll look foward to your review. :)

Ha! I JUST posted about The Bell Jar in another thread like 10 seconds ago!

I have a copy, have had a copy for probably 4-5 years, and I just can't bring myself to read it...

[Susan]

Put the TURKEY in the oven, Sylvia!

[[deleted user]]

...

[Riona]

I just finished Gone Girl. One of those rare bestsellers that lives up to the hype.

[Susan]

I have been debating whether or not to read that one.
