Steve Anderson | 60 comments Cooking with Fernet Branca by James Hamilton-Paterson. A comically pompous British expat in Tuscany and his Eastern European expat neighbor get mixed up in various hijinks. It's funny and awkward and hard to pull off as a writer, with dueling first persons. A Kindle version just came out in the US.

Yolo Yearwood (mirandaelizeabethyearwood) I just finished The Book Thief last night and it was AmAzing :). I need to finish Water for Elephants, but it is going down like a burnt piece of bread.


message 854: by Chrissie (new)

Chrissie I am starting Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus. Well, to make a long story short, I was curious to know more about the Oedipus myth and Victoria Grossack, one of the authors wanted my opinion of her book. I must say I was flattered! I liked the bit of the excerpt I had read at Amazon, the reviews were very complimentary, even by my favorite, Kirkus, and on top of all this Victoria offered to lend me a Kindle copy for two weeks. I am really looking forward to reading this. This is my lucky week.

Helen I have The Book Thief and want to read it soon but it has tiny print and now I'm a kindler, I want text that I can manipulate. Think I'll end up buying again!


message 856: by Chrissie (new)

Chrissie Helen, doesn't that get you annoyed!!! I have the same problem. I have about 100 books I REALLY want to read. they are in paper and now too difficult to read. I love the Kindle's ability to make large font.

I am so stubborn I haul out the magnifying glass.....


message 857: by Helen (new)

Helen I wouldn't have thought twice about the font size before! I'm also rebelling as I've just been 'given' reading glasses despite proudly reading the bottom line in the test.


message 858: by Chrissie (new)

Chrissie Helen, irritating huh ?! I am so happy I have a Kindle!!!


message 859: by Cindy (new)

Cindy (noregroetz) I just finished Emily of New Moon by Lucy Maud Montgomery and am trying to decide if I want to read the other two books in the series. I find it odd reading actually books now. They are heavier and take two hands, but the kindle is one hand and light. I love it!


message 860: by Felicia (new)

Felicia Rogers (feliciarogers) | 45 comments I'm still reading Quo Vadis, very long so it will take awhile but I also added Blackbird Flies by Chynna T. Laird by Chynna Laird. An interesting story about a young boy with extreme musical talent and family issues. I'm about a 1/3 of the way through I can't wait to read more.


message 861: by Helen (new)

Helen I can't believe that I prefer it too, I can't see me buying more paperbacks unless (possibly) if they end a long run in a series.


message 862: by Frederick (new)

Frederick Brooke (FrederickLeeBrooke) | 32 comments I read Switched by Amanda Hocking because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. It wasn't my cup of tea. Now I'm reading Moonwalking with Einstein, which is a book about how people improve their memory. Cool idea!


message 863: by Laura (new)

Laura (lelvebak) | 1 comments I read Dying for a Date by Cindy Sample, a fun read and delightful characters. Now I'm raeding The Fifth Witness and really enjoying it. I bought the autograph book, but it was so heavy, I added it to my Kindle, which I can take anywhere.


message 864: by Helen (new)

Helen I'm reading The Golden Acorn which was free on Amazon, it's not bad, I can read it to my class.


message 865: by Laurel (new)

Laurel Storey (laurelstoreyczt) | 7 comments I'm rereading the "Anne of Green Gables" series (yay for free public domain books!) and reliving some happy memories.

I'm very underwhelmed.


message 872: by Randy (new)

Randy | 29 comments Wonderful book about the financial crisis of 2008. Mr. Lewis shows how the crisis evolved. But what makes this book so special is that it's filled with interesting characters.

Stuart Jaffe | 9 comments Top Suspense: 13 Classic Stories by 12 Masters of the Game -- a crime/mystery/thriller collection by 12 excellent authors. I'm about halfway through and loving it.


message 874: by Horror (new)

Horror Reviewer | 4 comments Twisted Tales of Terror Finished this book and posted my review. Gave it five stars! Great collection of horror stories.


message 875: by [deleted user] (new)

I finished Hardcastle and McCormick: A Complete Viewers Guide to the Classic Eighties Action Serieslast night...Great book! I gave it a 5 star rating. I'm now starting Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen


message 876: by Felicia (new)

Felicia Rogers (feliciarogers) | 45 comments The next big one for my kindle will be Matrimonial Mayhem. Bought this book from Astraea Press. All the money made from this book is going to help Alabama tornado victims.

After I finish Matrimonial Mayhem, I'm all set to read Eye of the Beholder by Ruth Ann Nordin. It was a cheap read I found on the page for "The Perfect Rose".

Jennifer Conroy | 3 comments "Precious Gifts of Love" ~ Precious Gifts of Love by C.J. Good ~ and "Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment" ~
Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment by C. J. Good

Both books are available on Kindle.

Author's page: http://www.amazon.com/C.J.-Good/e/B00...

The teachings bring contentment, love; and physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

stormhawk | 542 comments You know, I read a lot of self help books. And I've occasionally recommended some to others.

But never in quite so blurby a way.

I hope that I am wrong in what I am about to say ... but it's generally considered bad manners for an author to self-promote by posting under another name.

If I am wrong, I do apologize.

Korea and now on the way back on the same route via Shanghai and Singapore and headed all the way to New York.
