Fiona her book the Bone Garden is soooooooooo good. you go back in time to Boston in the early 1900s. It's awesome!

[Lisa Julianna]

I am finishing I Capture the Castle. I started reading a few weeks ago and put it down for awhile. Now I'm determined to finish it. :~)

[Petra X]

I picked up Lisa Genova's Still Alice today. Genova has a PhD in neuroscience and this is her first novel. Its about a woman's slow and knowing descent into Alzheimer's. Sounds dreary and terrible but its mesmerising and wonderful.

I have read quite a lot of hers already Susan. Loved that 1 as well.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finally finished Blind Eye - Stuart MacBride. Not decided what to read next.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Last nite I started reading Jessi and the Dance School Phantom - Ann M. Martin

[Christina Stind]

In spite of everything I've heard about Robert Jordan The Wheel of TIme, I'm reading the first book The Eye of the World to make up my own mind about it.

[Donna]

I am still waiting for 2 books to come from the library but in the meantime I am going to begin to read Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.

I am still kinda reading Tim O'Brien's Going After Cacciato I am sure this book is great but I kinda gotta be in the mood for war books!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Jessi and the Dance School Phantom - Ann M. Martin and started Sexing the Cherry - Jeanette Winterson

[Kathy]

I'm reading, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Loving it! I'm reading it on the Kindle 2!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Will now read Cross Country - James Patterson.

[Emily]

I started Cannery Row. Not one of our Steinbeck picks but I thought I'd read it anyway.

[O2]

I'm reading War of the Worlds and Hell's Angels.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I am gonna read Beauty - Robin McKinley.

[Shelley]

I am almost done reading The Privelege of Youth by David Pelzer. A good story but not as good as the first two in my opinion.
Last night I also started The Lovely Bones. I think I could have stayed up all night reading it. What a very odd persective for a book, can't wait to get further into it.

I have a hold on the "Gabriel" book at the local library. Do you think it is worthwhile spending time trying to get through it??

Thanks for the heads up. I will try and get it from my library branch.

[LaTrica]

Just started Pest Control. I wanted something lightweight and funny after From Dawn to Decadence 500 Years of Western Cultural Life 1500 to the Present and The Charmer.

[Lori]

LaTrica, how is Pest Control? And where did you aquire a copy? I have that on my list to buy, but cant seem to find it anywhere!

I am currently hunkering down with The Count of Monte Cristo! About 240 pages in and quite taken with it so far!

[Catamorandi]

I finished I Capture the Castle (finally). I am now reading A Curse Dark as Gold.

It had me from the very beginning. Funny but not ridiculous. I got mine from Half.com.

[Donna]

I am currently reading Snapshot by Garry Disher. He did an author event at a bookstore nearby and was very entertaining. I have read others in this series and really enjoyed them too.

[Donna]

I am readnig Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and I love it!!! I just got word that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo just came into the library so I hafta hurry and finish so I can get started on that one.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Changed my mind and wanna read For One More Day - Mitch Albom

[Fiona (Titch)]

Now I am going to carry on reading Sleepyhead - Mark Billingham

[Shannon]

I am reading (aloud to my son) Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea; Ella Minnow Pea A Novel in Letters and The Lost City of Z A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon

20,000 leagues will take me a long time and I ahve to say that I am amazed that my 7 year old son is sticking with it so well as at times it is a tedious read aloud but none-the-less an interesting and remarkable book.

Ella Minnow Pea I am reading for another group on GR

Lost City of Z I borrowed from my mom and I am hoping that I will enjoy this true adventure(s) recent and historic.

[[deleted user]]

As of last night, East of the Sun by Julia Gregson.

[Lori]

Oh Shannon, I love VERNE! Have you read anything else by him? He tends to get overly scientificly descriptive, but writes such amazing stories!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished listening to The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger

[Anne]

That is a classic. Let us know how it is. I am reading The Shack right now and looking for another book for a good light summer bible study. Any suggestions?

This is my first Verne book although of course I know so many of his stories. My son is in french immersion so even in grade 1 they start learning about him and get to see some of the films.

I will read more but perhpas not aloud. ;)

[Vicki]

I just started Lonesome Dove by McMurtry.

[Dan]

I just started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep and The Mind of God. Also working my way through The Metaphysical Club and I'm actually reading the 2006 edition of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. If the library ever gets the copy of East of Eden that I have on hold to the right branch, I'll get started on it.

[Beth A.]

Hey Dan, I loved Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?. Hope you enjoy it too.

[Dan]

Thanks Beth. I'm a couple of chapters in now and it's raised enough questions in my mind to keep me interested.

[Priscilla]

I'm reading The hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien...

[Anne]

Lonesome Dove would have to be a huge book but excellent!! I just recorded it on TV on DVR--8 hours--I can't wait to watch it! I love Sidney Sheldon so I got the hard back book If Tomorrow Comes---can't wait to get started!!!

[Bedtime Booknerd]

Right now I'm reading "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens...I bought this book back when I was in high school but never really finished so now I've decided to start reading it again & hopefully finish it this time...

[Fiona (Titch)]

Still reading Sleepyhead - Mark Billingham

[Christina Stind]

I'm reading East of Eden for Steinbeck summer and finishing Eldritch Horrors Dark Tales.

[Shelley]

Still reading War of the Worlds on Dailylit and also reading East of Eden for Steinbeck Summer. Enjoying both

[Vicki]

Currently reading The Handmaid's Tale by Atwood.

[Wild for Wilde]

I am reading "Anna Karenina" -- its very, very good but long...I'm actually reading it on eBook which is a new experience for me but I really like it. I found Anna Karenina on this website: www.booksonboard.com at a really reasonable price. They also have the titles we are reading for June and July. You should check it out if you like eBooks or audiobooks.

[Shannon]

Still reading 20,000 Leagues, but also finishing Three Men in a Boat and have started Anansi Boys (because I was curious about the author not having read anything of his before and a goofy personality quiz pegged my soul as a match to Gaiman as an author).
