Tracy, I'd like to know what you think of the "Quiet..." book. I'm assuming it's written from an introverts POV. I've always felt like society see's introverts as misfits or as a social defect.

Carol (valecynos) I am re-reading the third book in the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris, Club Dead and re-reading The Green Mile. Both are for book clubs. We decided to read The Green Mile the way it was originally published, so Parts 1 & 2 are the first week. Wrapped up part 2 this morning. Not sure if I can wait for the second week to start the next two parts. :-)

Tim, the societal push to make those of us that are more introverted to be more extroverted is a major point of the book so far. I am finding it very enlightening. I'm having a lot of hmmm moments.

Insomnia and Needful Things were awesome too!


message 3467: by Janie (new)

Janie Johnson Well awesome! I have that in hardback, I would love to get it in paperback though. SO much easier for me to read that way.

I prefer paperback to hardcover.


message 3469: by Ethan (new)

Ethan | 152 comments im kinda funny about that i hardly ever buy paperbacks. amazon has hardcovers for so cheap and i like them alot more. i have about 24 king books and full dark no stars is the only paperback.


message 3470: by Janie (new)

Janie Johnson LOL Just the opposite. I cant stand hardbacks. Paperbck all the way baby! WOOT! LOL

I like paperbacks better because they're smaller and easier to carry around with you.

message 3473: by Ethan (new)

Ethan | 152 comments lol. My fiance is the same as y'all. I don't know my paperbacks always kinda fell apart on me. My town is basically a swamp with lots of humidity. which is of course no good for books lol

Lol ahh.....well in your case, hardcovers work best then!


message 3475: by Tim (new)

Tim | 80 comments Hmm I'm a fan of hardcovers when I know I'm going to want to keep the book, which is usually the case with SK's novels. Anythings else, its usually ebook for me. Paperbacks just seem too disposable to me to keep around very long.

Maybe you can somehow get rid of the paperback of Full Dark No Stars, even though it does have extra materials, since Barnes and Nobles does have the book in hardcover in their bargain section for $6.98, and also the trade paperback for a dollar less.


message 3482: by Ethan (new)

Ethan | 152 comments yeah i bought it from books a million for 3 bucks. Haven't read it yet though.


message 3483: by Tim (new)

Tim | 80 comments Right now I'm doing a re-read of one of my favorite books back in High School, Heir to the Empire. I'm also reading The Windup Girl, which is getting more interesting now that I'm getting further into it. For non-fiction I'm reading Henry Clay: The Essential American bit by bit.

Henry Clay The Essential American by David S. Heidler The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi Heir to the Empire (Star Wars The Thrawn Trilogy, #1) by Timothy Zahn

Oh, I love the Odd Thomas series! I can't wait to get the new one!


message 3495: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. The book was a bit of a disappointment really. I've read most of Spark's books and I think I'm too used to his writing style. I found the plot of the story to be extremely predictable and slightly unrealistic. But if you've never read a Nicholas Spark novel before, you'd probably like it.


Now I'm about to start reading Ford County by John Grisham by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

I used to be really in Sparks' books. I was reading them back to back, and like you said, I found them predictable, and stopped reading his books. It's the same old, "They meet, they fall in love, someone dies/or things don't work out in some way."

Diane (ladydi4476) | 72 comments Janie wrote: "LOL Just the opposite. I cant stand hardbacks. Paperbck all the way baby! WOOT! LOL"

I'm paperback all the way too. Hardcovers are too cumbersome, especially Stephen King's! My wrists were hurting for a month while reading 11/22/63 :)

Ethan | 152 comments So today i bought a copy of timeline by Michael Crichton for. 99 cents. when i opened it and looked at the title page the authors signature was there. i know this is not exactly the type thread for this but i was just wondering if there's a website or something to help guess if its real or not. Thanks in advance for any advice.
