Making my way through "Midnights Children" by Salman Rushdie. Not going so well. Might have to stop, which will make me crazy. I hate not finishing a book! Also reading "Buster Keaton: Tempest in a Flat Hat" which is going fabulously.
I'm about to start One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Halfway through
and it's very good.He is becoming one of my favorite novelists. I will have a review on my blog when I finish.

I plan on watching the movie after I'm done with the book. The book is good so far. I think McMurphy's awesome!

"Sh..."
Yes, you were right - I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hi currently reading Hero of Ages.@Holly the film makes me cry every time.

The Grapes of Wrath is a wonderful 20th century classic. It's really part of being well educated.

"I like The Magician's Nephew but I know a lot of people feel it doesn't belong with the rest of the series. It feels more of a stand alone book.
Am currently reading Forever Friends by Danielle Steel (I have almost stopped reading this author but the thought of friends meeting in kindergarten and what happens next in their lives is intriguing to me) and Back Spin by Harlan Coben. Also listening to The Killing Floor by Lee Child.

Are those crime authors good? I've been meaning to try some of them in the future as something different.

As a crime/mystery writer, I like JA Jance.

Then came the day when I just couldn't read most of her books anymore. Still, there are some topics - her historical fiction for one thing which I still somehow enjoy. The premise of her latest book is one which I generally enjoy.

So far I am really enjoying it and never thought I would. I have read almost all of Harlan Coben's books - both his series and stand alones and for the most part I love his books. Believe me you can't go wrong with either author. But if you read the series they have written I woild suggest reading them in order.
Currently reading Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Very different from the Steinbeck novels I read previously.
@Nancy I agree about reading them in order@Nicole I hope you enjoy Rebecca.
I just started reading
and I hope this novel lives up to the hype.Marion
I am currently listening to The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian, reading on my I PAD This is Where I Leave you by Jonathan Trooper and reading by book You Are the Love of My Life by Susan Richards Shreve.
Just finished Fever Dream by Preston and Child and I'm about to start the seond in the series, Cold Vengeance.
currently finishing Catching Fire (book 2 of Hunger Games series) and reading All for Aaron by Markee Anderson (it's ok, not great not really what I expected but it was a free kindle book) and then also reading a library e book loan of Heaven is for Real which is about the Burpo family and their son who apparently died and came back to life with memories of heaven. It is very spiritual not "religious" but spiritual which is why I feel as though it has a nice angle as one who isn't all too religious and not into the christian faith books as I do not observe that religion myself.
Just read Into the Darkest Corner I found it hard to start but once started I thought it was great. Really good story based on obsession, stalking and domestic violence.

."Love that book! One of the scariest novels I've read."
So far, I think it's scary. But I thought I was the only one who felt so. Most people that read this book didnt like it or found it just weird
I am working on Catch-22 and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. I will be starting The Princess Bride soon...
I have just finished the Prince of Thorns. Mixed reactions to it though.
I am currently reading The Golden Ass and Infinite Jest. But, I'm sort of taking my time with these, and only reading them in between some more contemporary fiction. Just finished Message in a Bottle and will be starting Out of Africa this weekend.
Right now I am reading
. I am enjoying this 12th book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. She stays in some sort of drama. LOL
currently reading
which is a professional interest research book for special education. I will probably finish it today as it isn't long at all and then will update on my next choice!
I'm about 3/4 of the way through
by Markus Zusak.It's a good, powerful story about a young girl growing up in Nazi Germany and steals books in order to read them. And it has been one of the most talked books in the last few years.
I must admit that I like it, but don't love it. I will post a full review on my blog in the next day or so.
I'm just about done with
. I will have a review on my blog next week.However, I will be reading
.Has anybody read her novels? I just wanted to see what others thought.
Thanks!

Enjoy,
