What are you reading right now?
I finished Oryx and Crake a few days ago, which I loved but seemed to take me forever to get through. Damn real life interfering with my reading! Then I devoured Darkfever in two days - total book crack. Today I started American Gods, which I'm super excited about - I've been dying to read it for awhile, and I'm really enjoying it so far!
I just got through reading The Murderer's Daughter's and am starting to read Hearts in Atlantis.I saw the movie many years ago when it came to the theatre,but I don't remember very much about it only that Anthony Hopkins was in it and I love him in any movie!(lol)I was taking sedatives at the times and i kept falling asleep during the movie so this will actually be a new read for me.So that my update,Btw~TMD was an awesome book i relly liked it!Good reading friends~~~

"Very good book, Kyle. Just finished it myself not that long ago.
Lena wrote: "I'm about to start
which I've somehow managed to avoid all these years."This a great book. I think I will revisit this one
I'm currently reading American Gods (audiobook - 6.5 hours left), Alone in the Classroom (Kindle - about 1/3 way), and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (hardcover - about 1/2 way).

I finished my 3rd read of It this morning. There are some many stories that are interwoven into the novel. This is my favorite book.I then jumped right into The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror. I needed something lighter after reading It.
Lena wrote: "I'm looking forward to American Gods. Let us know if it's good."American Gods was fantastic. I have read about 4 of his books so far and enjoyed them all. Neverwhere has been my favorite.

I've only read his YA books before.
Rachel wrote: "am reading Swan Song as i heard it was similar to The Stand which i love so much"Swan Song is excellent!!
Currently reading The Pilo Family Circus. Very demented clowns. Reaffirms why I don't like them in general!
Gatorman wrote: "Rachel wrote: "About 19% through Nocturnes"Nocturnes is terrific. I am a huge John Connolly fan."
I loved The Book of Lost Things and I'm really enjoying Nocturnes so far. I needed some short stories after I long stretch of novels. Sometimes you don't want dinner, just a snack here and there.
"American Gods" and "Anansi Boys" are Gaiman's best (other than the graphic novels) You do yourself a disservice if you don't read them.

It's good so far.

I still have yet to read American Gods, but I immensely enjoyed Anasi Boys.
Bondama wrote: ""American Gods" and "Anansi Boys" are Gaiman's best (other than the graphic novels) You do yourself a disservice if you don't read them."I would add Neverwhere to that group. Another excellent read.
Horror wrote: "I am presently reading: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"How's it going? Currently 43 in line at my library.
Finally finished American Gods - it was fabulous! I'm not really sure what I'm going to read next - I have The Ruins, Don't Breathe a Word, The Damnation Game, a couple of unread Kings and a whole bunch of books my mom's lent me that I honestly have no time to read lol.
I finished The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror. It was a funny, quick read.Now, I'm continuing through the HP series with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Courtney, "The Ruins" is a dead loss - in more ways than one. It's probably the most depressing book I've EVER read. For the man who wrote a masterpiece like "A Simple Plan" - it's downright embarrassing!
I found the movie of The Ruins to be one of the worst movies ever made, glad I sneaked into the theater to watch it.
I've just started Shanghai Girls and The Gaslight Dogs. There are just 2 hours left on the audiobook American Gods.

The Ruins is really that bad, huh?
Kathy wrote: "I really enjoyed The ruins! I never saw the movie, though."The movie freaked me out, probably because I have a serious aversion to anything messing with skin or eyes, lol...I didn't know it was a book. The movie was pretty depressing, though.
Dustin wrote: "Bondama wrote: "Courtney, "The Ruins" is a dead loss - in more ways than one. It's probably the most depressing book I've EVER read. For the man who wrote a masterpiece like "A Simple Plan" - it'..."The Ruins is a fantastic book. It's a definite must-read.
Courtney wrote: "Finally finished American Gods - it was fabulous! I'm not really sure what I'm going to read next - I have The Ruins, Don't Breathe a Word, [book:The Damnation Game|3460..."All three of your listed books are very good. Can't go wrong with any of them.
Loved The Ruins and The Damnation Game.Just started Toplin by Michael McDowell. Love all his stuff, and heard it's his weirdest book.
Joshua wrote: "I'm currently reading Stephen-sai's Wolves of the Calla."One of my faves of the series :)
Horror wrote: "I am presently reading: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children"Curious - what are your thoughts? I didn't care for it much.
It, for the first time in my life. I think I was put off by the size of the physical copy of the book lol, but it seems readable on kindle.

I thought I was the only one. My daughters have the full series. I bought them as soon as they came out. I myself after all these years just started reading the series. I am not into fantasy books too much. However, the HP series are great. I wish I read them earlier.
Dustin wrote: "Bondama wrote: "Courtney, "The Ruins" is a dead loss - in more ways than one. It's probably the most depressing book I've EVER read.
