[Shelley]

Dirt Music- a beautifully written book which really expresses thr Northern Australian culture! Love it so far- never heard of Tim Winton before but I will be looking for more of his books in the future!

[Wendy T]

Starting The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins today.

[Alanna]

Started The Blind Side by Michael Lewis.

[Fiona (Titch)]

About to carry on reading When Will There Be Good News? after 2 attempts at listening to this via CD lol.

[Elena]

I am reading Like Water for Chocolate: A Novel in Monthly Installments with Recipes, Romances, and Home Remedies. What a fun read!

[Vonney]

Still plowing through "The Risk Pool". Must read it by noon Sunday. My sons grew up with an absent (mostly), alcoholic, loser father just like Sam Hall,so I think that's why I'm only at page 125. Creeps too close to home, and I may skip bookclub so as not to hear the discussion. On a lighter note, I picked up "These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine, 1881-1901 Arizona Territories" and have not been able to put it down. I feel guilty letting the other book slip away. Maybe I'll try it again later.

I saw the movie to "Like Water For Chocolate" years ago. Very interesting.

I never read the book, but I saw that movie when it came out in 1970 or somewhere around that time. I won tkts to go see it, and it was so gory I spent most of my time in the lobby waiting for it to end. It played during the height of the Viet Nam War.

[Marie-vicky]

I have started to read A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick. It's a a thorn and twisted story. I have no clue how it will turn out .I loves it.

[Frances]

I have just started Cutting for Stone.

I'm reading Northern Lights by Nora Roberts.

Now gonna read Extras.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Unfortunately, I ended up giving up on Extras as it doesn't make sense to me and I wasn't getting anywhere with it.

So now I will read A Theory of Relativity

They died instantly.

Or close enough.

Gordon, of course, knew that "instantly" in this context, didn't mean what it seemed to suggest. Several minutes would have passed inside the car after the impact, while the final tick and swoosh of Ray's and Georgia's heart-sent blood swept a pointless circuit, while muscles contracted loyally at the behest of a last volley of neurological commands. But there would have been no awareness, or only a few twilight seconds - and no memory.

[Wendy T]

I'm starting Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins today.

[Lianne]

I started reading Muriel Barbury's The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which my friend/classmate lent to me. It's intriguing so far =)

[Fiona (Titch)]

Got up this morning and picked up Her Fearful Symmetry

[Ian]

Hi Shelley, I am a major Tim Winton fan. Try Cloudstreet : A Novel it was the one that brought him his break. And I just recently read Breath: A Novel which was excellent. I love the way Tim writes. It really works for me.

I just started Sunflowers by Sheramy Bundrick and I am enjoying it so far.

Now I think I will read it too! Thanks.

[Stuart]

Still reading Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. I am enjoying it but have read others along the way, mostly to keep up with my offline bookclub.

oh I was when I changed my username, but, I'm not anymore. I kept it because I'm sick of changing my username, and it's got a nice catch to it. I haven't even heard of Little Bee. I probably won't get to read it though because there's enough books on my to read book list to last me a few years or more.

[Alanna]

I started New Moon (Twilight series).

[Shelley]

Ian- I will for sure try another of his books- I do have to say I was so sad about the ending of Dirt Music- I feel like he just walked away from the book and didn't finish- I was mad at first but now I realize how much it has made me thought about what the author meant by that and realize it wasn't from lack of "good" writing.

Thanks for the suggestions :)
-Shel

[Shelley]

Reading a Tale of Two Cities- oh my I don't even know what to say... I have forced myself to continue reading this book because it is supposed to get better. I suppose it has but WOW- its a hard one for me...

[Wendy T]

I'm starting the audio book The Scoop by Fern Michaels today.

[Nancy (Colorado)]

I am finally starting Little Bee.

[Artemis]

Nancy wrote: "I am finally starting Little Bee."

[Artemis]

Nancy wrote: "So far, I am enjoying it!!!"

Great. I'm doing some light reading the next couple days. I'll start it by the weekend.
I'm worn out from The Known World...it was an incredible book...one of the best I've read in years...besides Shantaram.

[La pointe de la sauce]

I'm reading The Assassins by Bernard Lewis, I just finished Holy War Inc which was a detailed history of al-Qaeda but failed to discuss the groups motivation and twisted beliefs. The assassins goes back to another radical 8 century radical Islamic sect that also used mass murder as a political weapon. After this I have no choice but to go back to Jane Austin's 'Emma' , I have no other books on my shelf!

[Lianne]

I've been reading Stieg Larsson's The Girl Who Played with Fire and I can't seem to put it down, lol. It's intriguing xD

[Nancy (Colorado)]

I am doing some light reading: Legs Benedict...we used to live near Seattle and this is a reread.....

[Sheryl]

I'm reading True Believer by Nicholas Sparks.

[Linda]

I am currently reading "Cutting for Stone", Telex from Cuba" and "The Cutting Sword"

[Linda]

Coming in late on the conversation of how to get the most reading time but I have found that carrying a "LARGE" (lol) purse where any one of my books will fit and carrying it with me at all times gives me extra reading time, when waiting for a to-go order in a restaurant, at the doctors, stop lights, parking lots waiting on someone, in the long grocery check out, at the pharmacy etc......I have become very creative so much that when someone sees me without a book they ask me if something is missing.......
