What are you reading right now?

If you want to read more from Asmiov, I would recommend Robots of Dawn because this is the one that really starts Foundation, and is actually is the one that connects his robot novels and foundation novels together.

Just finished Zone One by Colson Whitehead and I loved it. Now onto Horns by Joe Hill thanks to all the talk about it here.
Rereading Fated by S.G. Browne. Felt like everything else I was reading was dragging. This is pretty much pulling me out of a reading rut.

Very true, Ryan. LOL

It seemed pretty well researched to me. Lots of specifics. I just assumed that the tannery Dani worked at was different than the tannery Kealan wrote about.
Can I sound like a dork for a moment?? How do people get the picture of the book they are reading in their comment? Thanks :)

Thanks :)"You do not sound like a dork...at the comment box to the right there is the add book/author link just click on it and make sure you choose cover for the cover of the book otherwise it will just be the link to the book. I hope this helps. :)

Thank you, Gabriela!!
Think this did it! Thanks :)
I like the bookcover feature, but my brain does not compute when bookcovers are used in place of text. They are generally too small to see (even on my big monitor) so sentences almost always sound like "I'm currently reading _______ and want to get to ________ soon." in my head. LOL
Becky wrote: "I like the bookcover feature, but my brain does not compute when bookcovers are used in place of text. They are generally too small to see (even on my big monitor) so sentences almost always sound ..."Sorry, I am reading Strangers at the Feast and Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister.

Becky wrote: "I like the bookcover feature, but my brain does not compute when bookcovers are used in place of text. They are generally too small to see (even on my big monitor) so sentences almost always sound ..."Me too, but I just discovered that, if you let the cursor hover over the book cover, it will tell you the title and author in a little box.
Yes, I am aware of that, Mary. I usually don't bother though. The "sentence" is already incomplete in my head from reading through the first time, and unless it's really intriguing and piques my curiosity, I don't bother to take the extra time to use the decoder ring.
Finished The Night Circus. I enjoyed it quite a bit.Will start We Have Always Lived in the Castle this afternoon.

I REALLY want to read The Night Circus!!

I did not know that, thank you.:)
I'm glad to see some don't like the add book/author function because, honestly, sometimes I forget to use it!
A. R. wrote: "I'm glad to see some don't like the add book/author function because, honestly, sometimes I forget to use it!"No, I love the feature... I just can't get my brain to equate a tiny picture of the bookcover with the title. The title is what I equate with the book.
Pictures just throw me all off, so it ends up just leaving a gap where the title should be. Even when it's a cover I know... *shrug*
But then I still insist on spelling out full words in text messages, so take that for what it's worth. ;)
I'm slowly working on Cat o' Nine Tales
, reading one story here and there. Never read this author before, but I love short stories, and it was only $1 at the dollar store, so it's worth a try. Not sure what I think yet, the stories are a little strange, but interesting.
Kathryn wrote: "I REALLY want to read The Night Circus!!"I enjoyed it. It was a really different type of writing with a unique story.

Yep, probably the case. I apologized. Feel like a jackass now. Me and my biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mouth.
Wow, Horns by Joe Hill aka King's son is an awesome read, the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I will now start The Nearest Exit by Olen Steinhauer, which comes highly recommended by Stephen King.

Me too. No comment on how many years ago that was.

Oh no! It's not Captain Trips is it?
Is this your first time reading The Stand? If it is, I envy you.

Hi Charlene! This will be the first time I've ever read it. I'm pretty excited about it! I've seen the movie a few times when I was a kid, but I know reading the book will be a whole new experience. :)
I started on The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf last night. I'm a few chapters into it so far and its a bit of a page turner.
halfway through We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and really liking this. We Have Always Lived in the Castle and will continue with Liesl and Po as well, now that i have finished pearls of lutra.

Hey Dustin! Its the complete and uncut edition.

Hi, Kathryn-
The uncut version is the way to go, IMO! Awesome.
reading Don,t Blink by James Patterson I was up all last night reading it. The chapters are short and I kept saying just one more chapter. I,m never disappointed with James Patterson.
no, never heard of it . I had to look it up . sounds good, have you read it? I think his best books were The Alex Cross series.
