I just finished
and now I'm starting
, so far I'm really enjoying it and can't wait to see where it goes.
I just finished Island of Secrets and also Blue Bells of Scotland. Both were great books. Still going thru my kindle archives to pick out my next book to start.
Reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas at the moment but have just downloaded John le Carre's The Spy Who Came in From the Cold and may be tempted to read that for the fifth or sixth time!!!
I just finished
(so gooood) and starting
today! I also downloaded
yesterday for free for my Kindle! I hear it's a great trilogy!
I read quite a diverse set of books in August and enjoyed them all (not all are available on the Kindle):An Elevated View: Colorado Writers on Writing (an excellent essay anthology)
Carte Blanche
On the Wrong Track
Quick Service (a hoot and a half!)
Heaven's Keep
...and I'm currently reading
The Roald Dahl Omnibus: Perfect Bedtime Stories for Sleepless Nights, an excellent collection of faintly creepy short stories.
I'm zipping through samples right now, looking for something to grab my attention. But I did download a ton of Georgette Heyers which were on sale a few weeks ago, so maybe that's the direction to go!
Laura wrote: "I just finished
. Great book"Since I spent two weeks in Cornwall by the sea this spring, this book grabs my attention. Thanks for listing it. Just downloaded the sample to my Kindle!
I just started Lumen by Ben Pastor. In 1939, in Nazi-occupied Poland, a American priest from Chicago and a German army captain investigate a nun's death. It's good so far with well-drawn characters.
I've just started Dune. I'm afraid I have opened another series that will draw me in. I have been trying to catch up to the Sword and Laser reading group. There a so many huge tomes to tackle, but I am gaining slowly. I think I may set a personal record for the most pages in a year, if not the highest number of books. Thank goodness I have a Kindle, lugging these huge books along everywhere would keep me from reading as often. I can just stick this kindle in my bag and read a bit anytime I have a chance.
I just finished:
Very good legal thriller.
Time for a new book, and fortunately it looks like there are some great suggestions in this thread.
Machine of Death: A Collection of Stories about People Who Know How They Will DieGreat concept, middling execution. Too many of the stories have endings that just don't resonate with the rest of the story.
please read

I just discovered the Project Gutenberg, which has free downloads for Kindle (.mobi) of no-longer-copyright books. I downloaded Joyce's Ulysses, which I'm partway through in book-form anyway. I like it better on the Kindle because the page layout is much more spacious, meaning I can focus on it better line-by-line.
If you're interested in a socially relevant suspense novel, check out Battered Earth! http://www.amazon.com/Battered-Earth-...

When I'm finished with that, I think I might read
for about the hundredth time. I love that book. :)
Jennifer, The Stand is my ultimate most-favoritist book! lol. (Is that a word? lol) I've only read it 3 times, though. Enjoy! :)

Debbe wrote: "The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett"i read that book!! i loved it, i was sad to end. i was got attached to the characters
I just started The Hunger Gamesand i have to be honest and say the start hasn't hooked my attention at ALL.
to Kindle readers..For today only, 9/11/11. Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero. $1.99Thunder Dog: A Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero
That does look good, it's now on my Buy This list. I can't buy anything til payday as I've totally blown my budget!
I started George RR Martin's 'A Dance with Dragons' and fell asleep mid-sentence. Five times. So I put that on hold and started Maureen Lang's 'Oak Leaves'. Hated the beginning.. around 53% done and I'm still debating whether to give this up entirely. Of course, while I continue reading. Obsessive-compulsive that way. :-(
