A History of Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years is great! although it is filled with facts so you have to be in the mood to read it. What i do is i keep a novel on the side to read when i'm on a break from reading the history of christianity. Let me know if you like it :)

[Hayley]

I've just finished reading
It was weird at first; as the narrator is speaking to her husband the entire time. I soon got past that and started enjoying it more. =]

[Carrie]

I'm trying to read The Book Thief but having a hard time getting into it.

Carrie, I had a hard time getting in to it as well.

[Carrie]

I think it had a lot to do with my frame of mind. I was not really prepared for the book and the subject of it. The book took me by surpise a little. I am about halfway through and I really like it now. Just took me a little to come around.

[Hayley]

Just finished & reviewed Captain Blood and am now going to start (a dead tree book) so that I can get started on a big classic on my eReader for xmas hols :D

[Hayley]

I've just finished Perfect People it was fantastic. I loved every minute, it had some very unexpected goings on! I can't recommend it enough.
I am now reading The Perfect Murderit's just a quick read, almost done.
Then i'll probably start on The Christmas Weddingand actually join in with the group read!

[Amanda]

[Carrie]

Just started The Lovely Bones. I hope I like it I have been trying to get it from the library for awhile now.

[Nicolle]

Well just finished A CHRISTMAS CAROL and it was fab! Would have liked it to be longer but apart from that I cannot fault it. Highly recommend.

I had a look and joined, but i can't see anyone wanting me to read their book!

I've started reading

and also

The Darwin awards being something you don't read in one go.

[Anne]

I am reading
It's the third in the series, and I'm wondering if the author may be losing a little bit of his steam with this idea. Not as good as the first two, but still enjoyable.

[Nicolle]

What is the Darwin awards?

[Hayley]

Nicolle wrote: "What is the Darwin awards?"



Quote from the website:
"The Darwin Awards commemorate individuals who protect our gene pool by making the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives: by eliminating themselves in an extraordinarily idiotic manner, thereby improving our species' chance of long-term survival. In other words, they are cautionary tales about people who kill themselves in really stupid ways, and in doing so, significantly improve the gene pool by eliminating themselves from the human race.

These individuals carry out disastrous plans that any average pre-teen knows are the result of a really bad idea. The single-minded purpose and self-sacrifice of the winners, and the spectacular means by which they snuff themselves, make them candidates for the honor of winning a Darwin Award. The terrorist who mails a letter bomb with insufficient postage deserves to win a Darwin Award when he blows himself up opening the returned package. As does the fisherman who throws a lit stick of dynamite for his faithful golden retriever to fetch and return to him. As do the surfers who celebrate a hurricane by throwing a beachfront party and getting washed out to sea.

Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards represent examples of evolution in action by showing what happens to people who are unable to cope with the basic dangers of the modern world. These ironic tales of fatal misadventure illustrate some of life's most important lessons.

Most of us know instinctively that the words "trust me" and "light this fuse" are a recipe for disaster. We assume that basic common sense eliminates the need for public service announcements such as, "Warning: Coffee is hot!" and "Superman cape does not enable wearer to fly." But the true stories you will read show that common sense is really not so common. No amount of overzealous caution would have helped the man who used household current to electrocute fish in a pond, then waded in to collect his catch without removing the wire. As you'll see, there are even people who need to be told not to peek inside a gas can using a cigarette lighter.

The Darwin Awards are macabre tales that make us laugh while instructing us in the laws of common sense. Consider the man who crawled under the roller coaster guardrail to retrieve his hat. When the next coaster came by, an unfortunate rider broke her leg on his skull. Ouch! From our point of view, the man who lost his head is a Darwin Award winner, and his story is just another episode in the saga of survival of the fittest."

A little bit gross and a little bit funny. A strange read but the stories in them are very short and you can read a story a minute in some cases. There's more than one book as well.

[Nicolle]

It looks really fun, might try it one day.

[Carrie]

I'm reading A Christmas Carol. So far so good hope to finish it tonight.

[[deleted user]]

They actually made a book from all those stupid people!!! LMAO!!!! Some of those stories are priceless...I love the one about the women in the winnebego that crashed because she put it on cruise control and went in the back of the motorhome!! LMAO!!! Then she turned around and sued the company and won!!!

[Jade aka MrsTosh]

I am currently listening to Vampire Academy again!! :)

You might enjoy this group who are currently reading A Christmas Carol http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/4...

[Carrie]

Finally made it to the library and I picked up The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I didn't realize that it said ultimate and was confused thinking I marked the wrong edition on my list because GR edition only said it was 216 pages. So far I'm on chapter 3. Very good I hope it continues.

[Anne]

I'm reading , and enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

[Toni]

Presently reading like it a lot. I may make a great group read.

[Lindsay]

I'm working my way through The Elegance of the Hedgehog. I'm not sure how I feel about it, even though I'm almost done. It seems like the community here is divided - it's a love-it or hate-it novel. (Maybe it loses something in its translation?)

I'm also reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This one is wacky and wonderful.

Then I have Darwin's Radio and The Windup Girl coming in from the library.

[Carrie]

Well I am dropping everything tonight at midnight. I preorder Lothaire a month ago and I should receive it on my nook at midnight. Cross my fingers. If I can't download it I will be reading Angel of Death Row: My Life as a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer until I get Lothaire.

[Varla Fiona]

I am reading the Skulduggary Pleasant series (I read them quickly and am on book 5 now). When I am finished with the Skull-Man, I will return to Song of Fire & Ice series. I stopped half way through book 4 as it got slow going, but keen to get back into it now. Also reading Collapse by Jared Diamond in between (it requires concentrating and serious thinking...)

[southpaw285]

I am currently reading The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America by Erik Larson.
