What books are you reading?
Stopped reading Honeymoon - James Patterson & Howard Roughan (as I couldn't get into it at the moment). I am gonna try and read The Bridges of Madison County - Robert James Waller.
I'm reading Emma, my first Jane Austen. I'm also reading Cheaper by the Dozen and The Subtle Knife with my daughters.Hi Mandy!
Hi:I'm new in good reads, from Dominican Republic, spanish is my native language but I can read english very well, my writing skills are in development so sorry if some words are not right. I love to read I just finish 1984 by George Orwell and it was really good. I'm now reading Grimpow and will start soon with Twain books.
WElcome to Goodreads. I really like Mark Twain. Hope you enjoy him when you start reading his books.
I just started reading, My Sister's Keeper, by Jodi Picoult. The movie is coming out soon and I thought I'd better get it read before seeing it. So many people have liked this book. I enjoy how Picoult changes narrators so you get all of the main characters perspectives.
Couldn't get into The Bridges of Madison County. So I am gonna read The Almost Moon - Alice Sebold.
I have, The Almost Moon, on my coffee table to read. Please let me know how you like it. It did get mixed reviews but I thought, The Lovely Bones, was so well done that I thought I'd give, The Almost Moon, a try.
I am re-picking it up from a few months ago. I got to p159 last time. So I am determined to read and finish the book.I liked The Lovely Bones as well. Gonna read Lucky her bio from her as well.
Did you stop reading it because you lost interest in it? I feel if I start a book, I should finish it - unless it's horribly bad.
I stopped cos I wasn't gettin what it was about. But I tend to go back to books I have started and tend to finish.

I watched that movie a little while ago and it was good, I had no idea it was based on a book.

Hi Lorena! Fancing meeting you here :O)
Fiona, Howl's Moving Castle sounds good. Another one to add to my TBR list!
I have read and finished The Almost Moon - Alice Sebold and The Beacon - Susan Hill . Now I am gonna carry on reading Sleepyhead - Mark Billingham as I wanna finish off books that I have already started. 
Currently I am reading:1. "1984" by George Orwell
2. "Nightwatch" by Sergei Lukyanenko
I am storming through Cold Granite - Stuart MacBride at the moment. Should be finished by 2nite or tomorrow. My nxt book is Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman .
I'm reading The Secret Life of Bees. I'm trying to read more books I wouldn't normally pick up, this would be one of those. It's not bad so far.
Emily, I liked that book, the story was good. I enjoyed watching the movie too.
I'm reading The Lie of Pi. Slow start, but now I hate to stop.
I have been negligent in my pleasure reading this month, having to prep for a colloquium this past week. I still have An Air that Kills and Pepys to finish. I really need an afternoon or two to catch up! I think I have The Elementary Particles to read too!

Sandra, I just got Life of Pi as a gift, I have heard great things about it from friends here in GR.
Have The Graveyard Book on my coffeetable. Need to read it before we head back to school - kids will be wanting to check it out!

It does start out slow, but I think you'll love the ending! Let me know!
I just started Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cryby Mildred D. Taylor for our History lessons with my oldest.
Well, I said I'd read, The Graveyard Book, after finishing, My Sister's Keeper, but I thought I should read, The Shack, first. It's our bookclub book for April 8th. My husband read it about a month ago in 2 days. Loved it! He said it was very deep and thought provoking. Has anyone else read, The Shack?
Currently reading The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Very Good I just want to finish it ASAP.
Kathy I read the Shack and thought the same thing.I'm not a very church going type religious person so this book was really great for me.I think alot of people who are really strictly church goers and bible reading religious followers will not like the book at all.I loved it and was happy there was somewhere out there that described faith like i always believed.I am reading Secret's in the Shadows by V.C.Andrews
It's so good to hear good things about the Shack, I've picked it up a couple of times at the book store only to put it back ... perhaps next time.
I have read and finished Cold Granite - Stuart MacBride & An Eye for an Eye - Malorie Blackman and now I am reading Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman & 8th Confession - James Patterson 
Kathy, I read the Shack also. I got in on an early read of the book with a discussion online with the author. It is very interesting read and like Ken said there is a great perspective about the Trinity. I am almost finished with my rereads of Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre.
Now I really must pick it up next time I'm at the book store, thanks guys!
Just picked from my pile this morning to start while I ate breakfast: "Lush Life" by Richard Price. I think it will be a fast read because there is a lot of conversation.
Thanks Alicia, Ken, & KrisT for all of your insights on The Shack! Truly appreciate it! That's what I like about Goodreads. I'm finding it difficult to put this book down right now.
Well I am new to this group and I love hearing about what everyone else is reading. I just finished reading Little Bee by cleave.I was quite disappointed with the ending and overall didnt really enjoy it. At times I was thinking just get on with it. I wish I could just put a book away when i did not like it instead of continuing it. Right now I am reading The secret life of ceecee wilkes. I hope this one is better.
Jack Kerouac - The Subterraneans...anyone read it???
Have just finished "Frederica" by Georgette Heyer - I haven't read GH for many years, and read this for a challenge, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Just about to start "The Ice Soldier" by Paul Watkins, puntd as an adventure set in Britain and the Alps just after WWII, looks intriguing.

I think it's because I keep thinking that there must be something about the book that made other people read it so I keep reading trying to figure out what it is!
What is an easier prereader to Kerouac? Just the name intimidates me. Still on Life of Pi, putting the Shack on tbr list.
I'm currently reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and really enjoying it so far.
I have the following on the go:Blood Test - Jonathan Kellerman
8th Confession - James Patterson
Endal - Allen & Sandra Parton
