I read the naming. Are you enjoying the series?

[Ann]

I have read the first three. Still another 2 to catch up so not ordered this one yet.

[Yassemin]

A free one, The Secret. I'm enjoying it although completely different from what I'd usually read. Amish Pennyslvanian Dutch language takes a bit of getting use to as well but its only in the book a little..

[Chrissie]

Ann and Gill, I have heard praise for Auel's series. I am considering starting with the first book, but then others say there is just too much fantasy in these to be believable. What would you say, should I start with the first? And why do you like the series. Please help me decide!

[Gill]

You definately need to start with the first book otherwise I think you would struggle with the background although it does re-cap a lot in the others I have read.

[Chrissie]

Thank you, Gil.

[Amber]

Just started Bird Song.

[stormhawk]

just finished Lost in a Good Book - Jasper Fforde, starting on Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray

[Angela]

I am finishing up w/Faefever
Then will start Lover Unleashed:I pre-ordered it awhile ago and can't wait.

Chrissie, all of the books in the series are now available in kindle format. for some reason, this page wont let me post the hyperlink for it. I re-read most of them in the last year, and still enjoyed them for the works of fiction that they are.

Oh, yes. I ordered both the hardback and Kindle editions -- Kindle for reading, hardback for maps and endpapers and 'longevity'. Waiting with bated breath for the Kindle edition to arrive tonight.

There is a Goodreads Group on the series (in fact I think there may be more than one group). Not a lot of discussion about the books in the group I'm in, but I expect that will change once people start reading The Land of Painted Caves (my book link isn't working either).

I strongly recommend the series, with some caveats. There is some pretty explicit sex, which some people don't like. There is a lot of detailed description of geography, geology, flora, and fauna. I believe it's necessary to set the stage for the story, but sometimes it gets tedious. And some people complain that she spends too much time in each new book recapping what's gone before.

I've read each in the series multiple times, except the first one. But you do need to start with the first book and take them in order.

I don't know what you consider too much fantasy, Chrissie. It's fiction, of course, and very imaginative. It's also very well researched, although I think there's some recent discoveries that may make her portrayal of Neanderthals a little less than fully accurate.

I find the story and the characters very compelling, fascinating, and somehow warming. So I recommend it to anyone who will listen.

[Betsy]

Just finished The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream, and They Are Us: A Plea for Common Sense About Immigration. In the middle of Heresy and Hyperion. Will drop everything for The Land of Painted Caves as soon as it arrives tonight.

[Chrissie]

Betsy, wow, it is that good that you buy botht he hardback and the kindle version!

Ann, yes, I was intrigued b/c the entire series was availble on Kindle. I will start with the first one.

Thanks all of you for your help. Yes, it would be nice if there was more discussion about the books on the threads. Maybe it is b/c, although we all love our Kindles, we have different tastes in literature?! Well, with this series, several members really liked the same. There is hope.

[Tony]

New to the group. I'm reading The Master by Colm Toibin.

[Chris]

I'm reading them, too. Love the settings and imagining what it must have been like back then is actually fun, more than just interesting. I've read Clan of the Cave Bears and now reading Valley of Horses. When I start I have trouble putting it down. It seems people either love or hate these stories.

[Kristina]

Hi all new to the group :)

I am reading In Memory of Greedby Al Boudreau I am enjoying this so far.

[Irene Well Worth A Read]

Hi Kristina! welcome :)

I'm reading
and enjoying it very much.

[Kris]

Currently reading The Redbreast by Jo Nesbø. Love the Kindle! Read so many books I wouldn't have bothered with if it wasn't for it.

Right now I'm reading The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo."

How are you getting on with..."
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a very good book, the first 1/3 if a little tough to get through, but then it's hard to put down, don't give up on it. The other 2 books are very good also.

[Sibel]

I'm reading Coffee @ 4:00

[Sue]

I just finished Iron Kissed, Mercy Thompson series #3 by Patricia Briggs and think I'll move on to the next in the series... loving the series, this last one was the best so far

[Sibel]

Just finished DATING MY VIBRATOR a fun read!

[Chrissie]

I am reading an egalley of Smuggled. This is historical fiction. You learn about life in Hungary and Romania after WW2 through the experiences of an orphaned child. Portrayal of Anca, as she is called in Romania, is wonderful. The ability of the author to present her as a three year old and then later as an older child is remarkable. Often an author is unable to present a character y well at different ages. Shea has done this exceptionally well. The main protagonist is born in 1940. The story will continue through to 1990. I think. There is humor. The the characters and the narrative feel true to life. People are NOT stereotyped. They are real. they are a mixture of good and bad qualities. Oh, and there is a dog too. Even he behaves like a real dog would behave. He is called Carol after a former Romanian King. History is intertwined seamlessly with the story. And you see again how historical events have had a huge impact on the lives of common people, all the thousnads who have no role in making political decisions.

So yes, I am thoroughly enjoying myself! I believe the book will be published in July. This is the first egalley I have reviewed and I am very happy to start with a good experience. There are punctuation and grammatical errors, but I have been told these would be taken care of before publication.

[Lisa]

Just struggling through "One Day" by David Nicholls. I know alot of people have read it and loved it, but it's a bit slow for me and it jumps too much. I will finish it though, just taking me longer to read than a book normally would.

[Chris]

I read it and struggled, too, Lisa. Gave it three stars and didn't review it.

[Sue]

I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and couldn't go on to the next two. I hated the violence against women in that book (horrible),, not to mention the fact that the beginning was very slow and the end should have ended 125 pages prior... I seem to be in the minority though... most people love it

[Lisa]

Glad it's not just me then Chris.

[Miriam]

I struggled with One Day as well.

(Sue, I'm always in agreement with the "Girl" criticisms, which doesn't explain why I enjoy reading them. The second is even more preposterous, yet I plan on readin the third).

But right now I'm reading Swamplandia! on my Kindle right now, and enjoying it.

[Christopher]

Just read preview 21 chapters of James Patterson's TOYS . Liking it a lot.Toys

I also struggled with this; couldn't get past the first 20 pages. I know it has a great rep, but I've got too many other things I'd like to read to force myself to stay with something I'm not enjoying. I may go back to it sometime, but I doubt it.

[Tracy]

Hello fellow kindle-ites! I'm new here and this is my first official post: I'm currently reading "The Parrot Talks in Chocolate" by Everett Peacock. This is a beautiful read and I'm so in love with the characters that I don't want it to end. Check out this incredible cover art!

I'm glad to hear there's one person who read the whole book and still didn't like it! Everyone kept telling me I would love it, that it was slow at first but then I wouldn't be able to put it down. I read the first 100 pages (I had a library paperback) and was so bored.

[Patricia]

Just finished Deceit by Brandilyn Collins. It was really good. Just started The Postman Always Rings Twice. I have always enjoyed the movie and have been looking for the book in e format for a few months. Happened to find it yesterday and bought it right away.

[Louise]

I agree with Clare-Dragonfly. I read the whole book because I'd heard so many great things about it. It does pick up some after the first 150 pages but was definitely not worth the time to read it. I think part of the problem was the poor translation of already substandard writing.
