Patricia, I enjoyed A Child al Confino: The True Story of a Jewish Boy and His Mother in Mussolini’s Italy. Here is my spoiler-free review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/... if you are durious. Thanks for lending it to me. Amazon will move it back to you soon!

[Steve]

Started Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby. Can't believe I've never read it, since I'm a huge soccer dork. Plus, I was looking for something lighter after The Warsaw Anagrams, which was a great but grim historical thriller.

[Betsy]

Started The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks for a Science Group read. Looks really interesting.

[Bj]

I am 13% into Under the Dome by Stephen King, hate to put it down to go to work, the same problem I had with all the other books of his I read :)

Bj, take your Kindle with you...LOL...when I was working, I loved taking my Kindle to work. I would "hide" it in my notebook or in a folder & no one was the wiser!! I worked in an office with 8 other gals & during "slow" periods, I would read. The folder was especially effective if the boss decided to stroll in...LOL...QUICK! Close the folder!! ;)

Kae, I have that book on my Kindle as well but haven't read it yet. Looking forward to reading what you thought of it.

[Max]

Fever Pitch is indeed an awesome memoir about love and obsession. Really funny, but also very insightful.

I'd reccomend that you read Hornby's novels too, starting with High Fidelity, which is also about love and obsession, but over music and relationships instead of life and football.

There is also a great 1999 movie adaptation starring John Cusack, check that out if you haven't seen it yet.

[Louise]

I'm just seconding Fever Pitch's suggestion. I saw the movie first which led me to the book, which led me all of his other books. Enjoy.

[Steve]

@Max, thanks. I'm liking it so far, though I'm surprised how much football there really is -- not that this doesn't appeal to me as a soccer dork. I will be reading High Fidelity. I thought the movie version was great.

@Louise, I actually saw the Fever Pitch movie years ago (w/ a young Colin Firth!) and liked it. Thanks!

I just finished an egalley of Smuggled, which I enjoyed very much It is historical fiction about life in Romania and Hungary through the experiences of one Jewish individual, who as an infant was smuggled from Hungary to Romania to escape death at the hands of the Nazis. You experience life in Ceausescu's Romania, life behind the Iron Curtain and life after the barrier came down. The book covers the time period 1940s through to 1990. Here follows my spoiler-free review: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Now I will start Running in the Family b/c I love memoirs, love learning about different countries, in this case Ceylon, and b/c it is short. I prefer reading on my Kindle.

[Chrissie]

I will now start The Kitchen House. Everyone has read it. Some love it, and I think for me this will be something to sink into.

How'd you like Three Sisters? I read it about a month ago and enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series."

@Scott - I really liked it too! It was a fun, quick read. I'm actually interviewing Helen on my blog next week, so I'll be sure to bug her about getting the second one out soon! :)

I have just finished the basement by Stephen Leather. Quick and easy read but nothing special.

[Lisa P]

I just started reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts and so far am really enjoying it.

[Sibel]

Just finished Maid for Me - a fun YA romcom!

[Grace]

- fancied a change of genre from my usual historical romance. Time will tell if I was right to change!

[Randy]

The Eternal Summer: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Hogan in 1960, Golf's Golden YearGood, quick read, though I feel it's too short. The tournaments go by so fast.

Something Borrowed by Emily Griffin

[John]

I'm 45% into Speed Dating with the Dead by Scott Nicholson

[Helen]

I enjoyed Life of Pi but found it very hard going until the 'ship crash'. I'm reading a DTB as wanted to make a dent in them.

[Jenny]

70% through Nothing by Barry Crowther. Stark and brutal, an excellent read.

[John]

Loved Life of Pi ... 70% done with Speed Dating with the Dead.

[Connie]

Elisha's Bones by Don Hoesel 30% done.

[Steve]

Finally finishing by Nick Hornby. It's funny and heartfelt and the onslaught of soccer and Arsenal details works fine for this football dork, but I'm surprised it worked so well for so many mainstream readers. In any case, it's a nice break from my usual historical espionage and mystery fiction and nicely coincides with my Portland Timbers FC returning to the top flight of American soccer in MLS. This last part won't make much sense to most of you, but it means a ton to this Portlander!

[Ann]

51% through The Land of Painted Caves I eagerly awaited the release of this book, but am disappointed so far. Waiting for it to get better. Anyone else reading this?

[[deleted user]]

Ann, I read that and it is just an utter disappointment.

[Traci]

I just started reading a few hours ago and I'm just about finished. It's quite hard to put it down even if I do have a few things about it that truly bother me.

[Traci]

Finished Room earlier this morning. Now I've moved on to .

I loved that book! Read it last year."

A friend of mine pushed me to read this book. I really wasnt interested, it didnt sound like my type of book....but....I finished it in two days....amazing story, so glad she pushed me to read it...well worth the time....

[Candice]

I just finished Water for Elephants . Brilliant book! I finished it in a couple of days, too. Reading Daughter of the Forest and Different Seasons now, but they aren't going nearly as fast...
