I'm reading "The Kitchen House" and "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" simultaneously. Than I have Fahrenheit 451 to read for another book group I belong to.

It can be very scary in some parts. The scene that stands out the most in my mind is the window scene. You will know it when you get to it. : )

So far, so great! :)
Just starting All The Pretty Horses: Border Trilogy by Cormac McCarthy, I have previously read The Road by the same author and had thoroughly enjoyed, hope I like this one as much.

very good so far....."Awesome, Linda! I love The Passage...and I'm really looking forward to its sequel, The Twelve, due out in August!
I was given The Passage last year for my birthday, and I was really eager to read it. I read about 100 pages or so, and I just couldn't get into it. I believe I even tried to listen to it on audiobook to see if that helped. Did I just need to keep reading? It just didn't grip me like I like books to do.

Same here."
And here
Same here."
And here
The Passage didn't grip me either. It was the first book I read in 2011 and I felt like it dragged. I really wanted to like it, too.

Anyway; I just started Murder on the Orient Express last night. It has hooked me already. Thank goodness i have another AC novel in the wings :D
I'm reading The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz! Have been having a bit of a Sherlock fest recently haha

Yes, definitely keep reading. It does get better, IMO.
But personally, I didn't have any problems getting into it. Cronin's well-written prose sucked me in immediately..

I keep meaning to get again and see if i think different on a 2nd try.
Amanda wrote: "Gatorman wrote: "Amanda wrote: "Dustin wrote: "Kathryn wrote: "I was given The Passage last year for my birthday, and I was really eager to read it. I read about 100 pages or so, and I just couldn'..."You really should. It's a fantastic book.
David wrote: "Kathryn wrote: "I'm reading 'Salem's Lot!"I wanna read that book. How is it so far?"
One of my all time favorites. IMHO, one of his best written!
I finished it this morning. Now I'm wondering which S.K. I should read next! Decisions, decisions....:)
Blood Warrior, by Gordon, I think... It's a pretty good YA read... I'll post a review when I'm done...

Gatorman wrote: "Courtney wrote: "I loved The Passage, and I am so pumped for The Twelve!"Same here."
Probably a stupid question, but is "The Twelve" the second book in the trilogy by Cronin? And, if so, when is it due to be out?

On Amazon it says its coming out August 28, 2012, but the publisher could change it at any time.

Yep, The Twelve is the second book, and it's due out this August.:)
Currently reading three: Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, 11/22/63 and The Last Werewolf. A perfect trifecta! The Last Werewolf is an audiobook, and the reader is brilliant!BTW, I did not enjoy The Passage at all, though I finished it. It was my worst read of 2011 (keeping in mind I usually do not finish books I don't like). Glad others enjoyed it, but it was just not for me.

I have seen this book at the bookstore, and I have to ask..What the heck is that on the cover?
