I'm going to read this after I've finished my current book. Have you seen the film?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Plain Truth - Jodi Picoult

[Lindz]

I am read "Woman in White" I'm really liking it. I can almost hear the organ going dun dun dun, after every book reveal.

[Melissa]

Started Pretty in Plaid A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe, or, the Wonder Years Before the Condescending, Egomanical, Self-Centered Smart-Ass Phase last night. I'm only about 10 or so pages in and I'm already laughing.

[Andrez]

I'm reading Cimbelino / Cymbeline its nice

[Andrez]

Three Men in a Boat

[Vicky]

I'm reading The Parrot Who Thought She Was a Dog, by Nancy Ellis-Bell

[Donna]

Started The Kind One - Epperson.

[Kathy]

I'm reading The Pale Blue Eye A Novel by Louis Bayard. As often happens, I had this one on my shelf for awhile, bought the novel he wrote after this, The Black Tower, read and enjoyed it, and then picked up the one I'd had the longest to read. Both are excellent historical fiction/mysteries.

[Marsha]

Oooh, Three Men in a Boat! Love it!

[Emily]

Battle Royale, what a great and disturbing movie.

[[deleted user]]

Have begun The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro.

I will have to dust that one off again. I keep starting it and then getting side-tracked. Thanks for the reminder.

[Kim]

I am reading Alex and Me and absolutely loving it. It is such a smart and funny true story about a scientist and her 30 year relationship with an African Grey parrot.

It is a must read for animal lovers!

[Arun]

What does the community think of Pillars of the Earth ?? I just started off...

[Beth]

After reading The Kitchen Boy A Novel of the Last Tsar, I was looking for something more in depth about the Romanovs. A GoodReads friend recommended Nicholas and Alexandra, which I am currently reading.

I loved Pillars, couldn't put it down and re read it so many times I've had to buy it twice as my first copy fell apart. I was so excited when the second one came out that I bought it that day and chucked a sickie from work so I could read it all day!! I shouldn't have bothered. It was awful. It had none of the magic of Pillars and I didn't like the main characters at all. Stick with Pillars and you will love it, but don't wast your time or money on World Without End.

[Arun]

I have hardly finished 100 pages...had a hectic weekend and the book had to suffer for it :(...the parts that I went through feels that Ken Follett is more passionate when writing about architecture..the people part, well..its too early to comment on it

[Arun]

What I felt on reading opinions is that there is no middle ground for this book, u either love it or hate it..970 pages is quite an investment of time...I have shelved a william dalrymple & Dan Simmons Ilium to finish this...I hope its worth it..

[Lindz]

A sickie for a novel! A girl after my own heart:).

I love Pillars, again have had to buy second copy. I can see why people why it divides people. The writing can be a little stiff and lifeless, and modern for 12th century England. The characters sometimes walk around like lego men. But the story is strong enough to carry it through. Plus you will be an expert on cathredal architecture

[Andrez]

lol.at the end I was sleeping.it just happened to me twice:pillars of the earth and codex 632, they were soooooo boring I couldnt read the whole story (tha was a huge offense, they were the only ones)

[Arun]

This book seems to be rather remarkable some even remember it fondly from years ago while some others couldn't even finish it...I am almost a good 100 something pages into the book. The writing is flat at times but the details of medieval architecture seem to be increasing as pages go by...

[Lindz]

as I said you would be an expert on medieval architecture :)

[Shelley]

Just started my sisters keeper

Reading 'Manhood for Amateurs' by Michael Chabon. I just love how that man writes!

[Elizabeth]

The Hours: A Novel by Michael Cunningham & The Love Spell: An Erotic Memoir of Spiritual Awakening by Phyllis Curott. i'm enjoying them both very much. great rides but i can't wait to get started on Julie & Julia!

[Kathy]

I'm reading Pretties, the second in the Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld.

[Andrez]

re reading city of bones

[Melissa]

Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

[Emily]

Ooo I want to read Lamb. I really like Christopher Moore, I read 2 other books of his recently.

[Arun]

I am onto Ilium by Dan Simmons..a tale from three perspectives and barring one with a lot of scientific jargon the others seem very engaging. The pace of the novel is commendable too...am into 480 odd pages and till now a very good read.

[Gitte]

I'm reading A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am reading Uglies - Scott Westerfeld

[Andrez]

Lenor, I love this book! It was one of my favorite of the year. I hope you enjoy it as much.

[Andrez]

I am.but i think that the beginning is alittle too fast paced (they kissed to quickly)

[Donna]

I will be done reading Rant by the end of the work day. I thus will start Zipporah Wife of Moses on my ride home.

[Melissa]

Just started The Stupidest Angel A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror, Version 2.0 by Christopher Moore.

Still on The Left Hand of Darkness and now The Canterbury Tales for school.

[Beth A.]

I'm reading Chalice by Robin McKinley. I'm really enjoyed it. I'm also listening to The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. I'm having a bit of trouble getting into it, but I keep trying.

Yea, the hunchback is hard. I started reading it but had to return it to the library. I hate their due date systems.
