What are you reading right now?

According to Wikipedia, since 2010 and through 2012 he will have published a total of 37 adult and YA books. 37??? And he's writing them himself? Don't think so.

Yes, quite some time ago. It was newsworthy for a time. Until the fiasco, he acknowledged his use of ghost writers sparingly, in the fine print. Since then, the 'real' author is given space on the books' covers. He is relying on selling books using his name only; they are no longer his own work.

Not really sure, but it's probably four years ago or so that I became awaare of it. See this link for more insight.

WOW. Thank you for sharing.:)


What did you think of White Oleander?



Between those books and some short stories I'm working on it's going to be a busy month.

I really enjoyed Song of Susannah a lot, as well!


Love that book."
This is my second time reading it. I love Dennis Lehane. His movie adaptations are great

They really are! I generally don't gravitate to the mystery genre that ofter but I picked up Mystic River back just before the movie came out and within two months had read all of what Lehane had published at the time. I think now the only book of his I haven't read is The Given Day.

I enjoy mysteries almost as much as good sci-fi. I will read up on this title. Right now I'm reading





I remember seeing Haunted at the library when I was a teenager. The cover creeped me out a little, so I never picked it up....haha

How are you enjoying the book?

Yeah, how's it coming along, Dani?


Just watched One for the Money with my wife tonight. Had absolutely no interest in it but ended up liking the movie and am contemplating giving the book a go this summer.


David, the book is worth it! A few really creepy parts.

Starting on



Totally agree. Got about 70 pages left. Had to make myself put it down last night. This will sound like a really contrived bit of self-promotion, but it's the truth - when they were talking about the possibility of Perse being released from the china doll, I shivered, because it had such similar parallels to my own novel, The Hunter Inside! Sorry for the self-promotion, but I really mean it!

One scene I really remember vividly and got really creeped out (view spoiler)

Oh yes, I remember that scene quite well, Kathryn! There's definitely a creep factor there...throughout the book, actually, IMO..
Happy reading, David!
And Jason, I have no doubt that The Town and the City will end up on the back burner as you wrap up The Dark Tower!!

The Town and the what, Dustine? :)
In all seriousness, when I saw your post there was a brief moment where I forgot I was trying to get through the Kerouac novel. Got a good start on DT last night.

Dustine??

Hi, Scott-
What are your thoughts on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

I liked some of it but for most of the book I was confused. I couldn't figure out why Deckard was doing the things he did. He seemed like an idiot and you would think that a bounty hunter in search of androids would be smart.
I gave it 3 stars.

It was a something of a disapointment then. I've actually gone back and read the book again about a year ago and liked it a bit more that time.

Oh, okay. Thank you, Scott.:)


If you have a fear of puppets, dolls or ventriloquist's dummies and you like to be afraid-check this one out. A word of caution though-it is very graphic and violent in a few places.
