Yes I am, I love this trilogy...
Right now I'm reading The Fear by Charlie Higson. It's book two in a series of seven I believe. Basically it's about a disease that either kills everyone over the age of sixteen or turns them into mindless husks that walk around eating people, much like zombies. The books follow groups of children as they try to survive to hordes of hungry adults. The first book takes place a year after the disease took over. This book takes place three weeks after and we are following a group of kids different from the ones in the first book. Its been said that through the series the surviving character will end up connecting. I like it so far.

I finished The Lies of Locke Lamora. I enjoyed the book but for some reason it just took me forever to finish it.Now I'm reading Seed. Enjoying it so far.

It's a nice change to see that children can be strong and could survive on their own if necessary.
I've started a re-read of The Wheel of Time: Boxed Set and hope to be all done before the conclusion in January next year (we'll see if mankind can survive that long)... so far I'm about half way through the second book The Great Hunt .. I WILL be reading a book or two between each installment though, as I seem to remember book 5 through 10 being a bit longish (although I'm a big fan of the late Robert Jordan (and Brandon Sanderson for that matter)).
I'm reading John Saul's "Faces of Fear". It's kinda slow going, but I think it still has potential to be good if I just stick with it. I don't know for sure where this book is going yet but it has me curious.
Going to start on The Pillars of the Earth tonight and will take a short break from it next week when A Face in the Crowd is released.

I really hope you enjoy Pillars as much as I did. Its only downfall, IMO, is Follet's poor writing..
I'm about to start One Good Hustle and also reading Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir
I've finished reading I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith and I've started The Last Girl by Jane Casey this morning.

I finished Seed last week. I really enjoyed it.Then I started The Black Dahlia. I like the beginning but I didn't get much read over the weekend.

"Glen you are reading 2 of my favorites. Swan song and Under the Dome.
I finished the 3rd book in the Maeve Kerrigan series
by Jane Casey last night - I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait till the next one! Jane Casey is becoming one of my favourite crime authors. This morning, I began reading
by Heather Gudenkauf.
I'm continuing my The Wheel of Time: Boxed Set re-read... Finished The Great Hunt yesterday and have jumped right into the next one The Dragon Reborn ...The ending of The Great Hunt is still some of Robert Jordan's greatest writing I think ;-)

I've always loved the end of The Great Hunt, as well. And I agree that it's some of Robert Jordan's best work. I only wish the rest of the series had been written more along the lines of this one.. then I might have finished reading A Wheel of Time!

Yeah, the movie adapted the book. I love the movie, er..well, I liked it enough to buy it. :) It's really good so far...at eleven pages. :)
"The Wolf of Wall Street" by Jordan Belfort which is currently being adapted as a motion picture directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio

Will do, Veronica! I am enjoying it so far.
Kathryn wrote: "I'm reading The Beach by Alex Garland."I read that last year and really enjoyed it. I haven't seen the movie yet but I have wanted to since I read the book.
I finished reading
by Heather Gudenkauf yesterday - It's a brilliant novel. I couldn't put it down! I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough. Now I'm about to start the 9th book in the Stephanie Plum series
by Janet Evanovich.
