message 2151: by Michelle (new)

Michelle | 47 comments I just finished Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and I'm currently reading Fevre Dream by George RR Martin. This is my first step in to Martin's world so I'm not too sure what to expect. It's a good book so far though.

Anne (annalese) | 41 comments Thanks David, will get it on amazon later.


message 2153: by Tracy (new)

Tracy (notrace) | 105 comments I had full intentions of starting The Passage a week or so ago, until I had three holds come in at the library. So, instead I read The Help and have just started The Gun Seller and then will read Heart-Shaped Box. After all my library reads I will be able to get back on track and read the passage, unless I get more holds in of course. LOL

Courtney | 293 comments I finished Black House yesterday. I thought it was very good, but I also found it deeply unsettling.

I just started The Death Cure, the final book in The Maze Runner trilogy.

(view spoiler) I'm also happy that I will so soon be done with Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't,Good to Great and the Social Sectors: A Monograph to Accompany Good to Great, and Library and Information Center Management, 7th Edition because the class I was reading them for ends at the end of this week.

message 2165: by Amber (new)

Amber (amberbagola) | 13 comments "The Exorcist" paperback. The beginning is SO slow that I haven't gotten very far, yet, though.

"The Hambledown Dreamer" ebook. Just started this one, but the synopsis looks good. =]

Hey, I almost forgot that I just got Exorcist a week and half ago, I might read that sometime soon.

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 747 comments Just saw on Facebook AMC channel, or American Movie Classics, is having a Stephen King week. This week, every night, they will be playing a different Stephen King film adaptation. I don't know much more about it than what I just wrote, so if you're interested, you might check out AMC's website or your local listings.


message 2168: by Scott (new)

Scott | 401 comments Finished We Have Always Lived in the Castle last night. Great book from Shirley Jackson.

Started A Dirty Job this morning. I love his books. They always give you a laugh.

Unsettling!!? Sounds like my type of book. It is already on another group challenge list, so I will look forward to it.

Currently reading The Book Thief, and it is pulling me in slowly, but in a good way :D

Just started We're All in This Together: A Novella and Stories by Sai King's "other" son, Owen.


message 2173: by Gwen (new)

Gwen I'm currently reading The Gunslinger since I'm doing a King Reread in chronological order at the moment. After that it's Creepshow and then I might take a King break and do the Bio of a Space Tyrant series starting with Refugee.


message 2174: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 293 comments Finished The Death Cure yesterday. It was disappointing.

I'm about half-way through The Turtle Boy, and it is fantastic so far.

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I've just began reading The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell this evening.

The Turtle Boy is excellent. After finishing it I read the next three novellas in the series back to back. Looking forward to the final story, Nemesis, this summer.


message 2177: by Courtney (new)

Courtney | 293 comments I just finished! I loved it and would love to carry on with the rest of the books, but my Kobo crapped out 2/3 of the way through. I had to finish the story on my husband's tablet.

Hopefully I can get my Kobo repaired quickly so I can read the others.

message 2180: by Chris (new)

Chris Ingalls (chrisingalls) I'm currently reading "Polar Star" by Martin Cruz Smith. I plan on (finally) starting "The Stand" next week when it comes out on audiobook next week.

I'm also looking forward to "The Book of Drugs" by Mike Doughty.


message 2181: by Denis (new)

Denis Pedersen | 44 comments I'm about halfway through the The Passage... So far I have mixed feelings for this one, I don't like the writing, and the story has staled a bit I think :/

Gonna finish it and hope it gets better ;)


message 2182: by Veronica (new)

Veronica (veraj121) | 300 comments I am reading What the Night Knows by Dean Koontz . So far I don't know what to think about this book.

I felt the same way, so I stopped reading right in the middle of the book.

Well, you're missing out on a wonderful story, Kevin, IMO..

As I get further into the book, it gets creepier. So far I am enjoying it and eager to see how it ends.For those that have read the book, I am on the 33rd day, family 2.

message 2188: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I'm reading The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales. The TV show Grimm is about start airing in Ireland for the 1st time this week. Since is supposed to be based on storylines from the book, I wanted to read it first before I start watching the series.

message 2190: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn (kcanty313) | 747 comments I'm still on The Stand. Just been busy the last few days and haven't gotten the chance to really sit down and delve into it like I usually do.


message 2191: by Dustin (new)

Dustin Oh, that's okay, Kathryn.:) Take it relatively slow, enjoy the ride. There's a lot going on in this complex story.

I think that's another reason why, too...There's so much going on. Some times when I'm reading, and I've read several pages, I feel as though I need to stop and process it all. I'll write you on your wall and tell you where I'm at, just in case someone here hasn't read and it plans to. :)


message 2193: by Char (new)

Char I just finished a few. The Light at the End which is awesome old school horror from 1986 or so. I also read a short by Kealan Patrick Burke (author of The Turtle Boy) called The Grief Frequency. It was very good plus it was free! Finally, I am just starting Master of the Moors/ I have high hopes for it.


message 2194: by A.R. (last edited Feb 14, 2012 01:15PM) (new)

A.R. (arbraun) Just read Ursa Major by John Little and it was fantastic. I'm going to look into his novels.

Okay, cool! I'd like that, Kathryn!


message 2196: by Aoibhínn (new)
