Great Book!

London Bridges (Alex Cross, #10) by James Patterson

[Trudi]

I'm reading Small World by Tabitha King. I can't believe I haven't heard of this until now. Completely slipped under my radar. It's very weird, and very creepy so far. I love that I have no idea where this story is going :)

[Susanna]

It's funny how some words just trigger a memory. I'm still reading Just After Sunset (I didn't take the book with me since I was out of the country for four days last week) and "A Very Tight Place" just came back to me with the word "Port-O-Sans." I hope I'll get my reading groove back. Last month was just too hectic and yet it seems I got nothing done!

[Kevin]

I am reading Full Dark, No Stars right now, just started on it.

[Kevin]

I am also think about reading Under the Dome at the same time. It has been on my shelf to read for a couple of month just got around to it now.

You are really going to enjoy this book kevin as I was really sad that it came to an end,wanting more and more to read!Happy reading my friend and enjoy!

[Scott]

I finished Storm Front this morning. This was any easy, quick read. Very enjoyable.

I'm going to start A Game of Thrones so that I have at least the first one done by the time the series starts.

Hi, Susanna!

You're not the only one. Every time I come across a Port-A-Potty, I am inevitably reminded of A Very Tight Place.

[Trudi]

OMG I loved that story ... so claustrophobic!!! :)

[Dustin]

YES! It's my favorite from Just After Sunset!!

[Susanna]

I liked Just After Sunset a lot more this time. Initially I rated it three stars but this time, definitely four. Night Shift is my favourite King short story collection so far.

O man I agree there. We were at the park the other day and I had no other option but to use the one there, and it was a tad bit wobbly on it's base... I was freaking out a little :O

[Gatorman]

I am currently reading Dweller.

That WOULD BE a bit scary, Kit..

[Jackie]

I have to so agree with everyone that commented on the port-a-potty scenario and the reminders that it brings to mind when seeing everyday things out and about.when ever I see a girl jogging this has the same affect on me also regarding the story (The Gingerbread Girl)that is included in the same book so I very much can relate!Funny how so much gets tied up in what we read to real life?Take care friends.

[JW]

I just finished the Dead Path by Stephen Irwin who has to be getting a lot of praise for being similar to SK's style...and I can't say I disagree too much. I suppose it's debatable anyway. Really enjoyed the book although I would consider it more supernatural suspense rather than straight horror, if there's a difference. Just started, The WIndup Girl.

[Bondama]

I'm reading the new Henning Mankel right now, which is said to be the LAST Kurt Wallender book (sob!)

These are some of the most ingenious books --- other than the Inspector Rebus books by Ian Rankin that I've ever come across. They're translated from the original Swedish, but they are phenomenally good.

[JW]

Due to Borders (unfortunately) going out of business I was able to at least stock up on books that should last me, oh I don't know, a couple freaking years to read. So anyway here are some of the books that are now on my "must read" due to me now owning them and whatnot. Please feel free to let me know if there's one I should be reading next due to it's awesomeness. Thx.
The Windup Girl by Bagigalupi (reading now), Fated by Browne, The Gates by Connelly, The Somnambulist by Barnes, The Shining by King, The Stranger by Frei, The Blade Itself by Abecrombie, Spring Healed Jack by Hodder, J Cabal & the Necromancer by Howard, The Affinity Bridge by Mann, World War Z by Brooks, Hear-Shape Box by Hill, Cabal by Barker, Drood by Simmons, Twelve by Kent, I Will Soon be Invincible by Grossman, & The Hunger Games by Collins.

[Bondama]

"The Shining" by King, an absolute MUST-READ, JW -- also "Heart Shaped Box" - by his son, Joe Hill --"Drood" can be a bit of a long drag, but it IS by one of the best authors around, and a lot of people loved it.

[Susanna]

I liked Barker's Cabal. But I'm weird like that.

[Trudi]

The Hunger Games is awesome JW. It's fast-paced, action-packed excitement, and part of a trilogy so the best part is, if you love it, you have two more to look forward to!

[Kit★]

I just started , my first foray into Gaiman's writing. I've heard sooo many good things about him, and found this on the bargain shelf, and it seemed like an easy and fast way to try him out. Definitely easy to get into, I know this book won't last me 'til tomorrow lol.

[Erica]

Just started "The Strain" by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan.

[★ Jess]

Lord of the Flies for school

The Gates, The Shining, Heart Shaped Box and Drood are all excellent reads.

Excellent book!

Finished Odd and the Frost Giants and now I'm sticking with Gaiman and reading . I can tell I'm definitely going to be wanting more books by him. Good thing my birthday's coming up. :)

[Becky]

I'm reading The Maze Runner by James Dashner... It's REALLY good so far. Awesome and creepy.

[JW]

^Thanks guys, yeah the only thing that's kept me from reading The Shining, was the fact that I'd seen the movie so many times. Susannah ha, I'm weird too and will probably enjoy Cabal when I get to it! Bondama, The Terror, was a bit of a long drag at times and it ended up being one of my favorite books of all time...I'm excited for Drood. I can always appreciate "young adult" books to boot so excited for The Hunger Games, as well. Cool! I now have an order to work off of. Thanks again! Oh yeah...and I'm pretty sure anything Neil Gaiman touches is good. So much to read, not enough time.

Hey Becky, I am listening to the Maze Runner on audiobook right now. I didn't get into it at first but now I am really interested.

[Becky]

It sucked me right in, almost from the first line. :D

[Susanna]

Finished Robert Charles Wilson's Spin - loved it. About to start my first Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises .

If you like this one Becky, I think you will really enjoy the follow-up, The Scorch Trials. So very different, but just as tense and gripping :)

[Lauren]

Woohoo, post 1000 lol

Anyways, I'm reading The Book Thief - I'm teaching this to my 10th graders.

And . . The Great Gatsby - This is for my 11th graders.

[Chris , The Hardcase]

Wow. I wouldn't wish the Great Gatsby on my worst enemy...

[Rachel]

I had to read it in HS,hated it.

[Veronica]

Right now, I am finishing up a great historical novel on the Marco Polo travels and the Silk Roads called the The Journeyer by Gary Jennings. Excellent read.

[Wes]

Currently reading 20th Century Ghosts. Good stuff so far, about 100 pages in.

[Kit★]

Aww, I loved The Great Gatsby when I had to read it in school. So much that a couple years after I graduated, when my brother got to that grade he "accidentally lost" his copy and gave it to me when the school year was out.

[Scott]

Becky wrote: "It sucked me right in, almost from the first line. :D"

Good to know. I have a copy of it sitting on my Nook.

Wait wait wait. Now what exactly is going on here?

[~Geektastic~]

I hated Gatsby when I read it in college (for a course on literary criticism), but I enjoyed it when I later chose to re-read it on my own.

[Bondama]

Gatsby is wonderful - Fitzgerald's facility with the language is unbelievable!! I can well understand one hating virtually ANYTHING assigned in school, but please, do yourself a favor and read it for pleasure, several years down the line.

[Jennifer]

Reading The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood I saw the movie a few times so I decided to read the book one day. WOW, the book is REALLY GOOD! Reading it again for the 10th time

[Becky]

I finished The Maze Runner, and it was fantastic. I want the sequel NOWNOWNOW. *resists the urge to order it from Amazon.*

*sigh*

LOL! Good things come to those who wait Becky. Plus, if you read Scorch Trials now, you'll have to wait until OCTOBER for Book 3 - The Death Cure. I'm looking forward to re-reading Books 1 and 2 though, so that should hold me over until then! :)

[Courtney]

I loved The Maze Runner and The Scorch Trials, and I can't wait for The Death Cure! I loved The Hunger Games trilogy too.

I'm re-reading some King books that I read a long time ago and are a bit fuzzy in my memory (in between reading The Dark Tower series, which I've never read all the way through, and some other books I've been wanting to read). I've re-read Gerald's Game and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, and I'm re-reading Rose Madder now.

[Becky]

I was thinking of the Hunger Games series as I read The Maze Runner, actually, Courtney. I LOVED Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but then Mockingjay just... sucked. I was so, so disappointed by it.

I actually think that Maze Runner was better than The Hunger Games though, and I'm hoping, *fingers crossed* that the rest of the series is just as good.

[Courtney]

I know a lot of people weren't happy with the way the trilogy ended, but I actually did like Mockingjay!
