I finished that about a week ago and really enjoyed it. I don't read alot of YA, but this one was really sweet. I loved the narration the most, I must say, but the characters and humor were very refreshing. It makes a great break after reading Les Misérables.

Richard/Emilee - The Time Traveler's Wife is one of my favorite books. I hope you guys enjoy it

I'm currently reading The Second Sex, which is a rather long exploration of French feminism/ existentialism. It's for an english paper I'm writing, we have to answer some philosophical question and this book has been sitting in my room for a while.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Reluctant Fundamentalist - Mohsin Hamid (ML). Will now read The Boy in the Dress - David Walliams (ML)

[Christina Stind]

How was The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Fiona?

[Fiona (Titch)]

It was ok in parts Christina. But I wasn't sure of the ending hon. I read it quite quickly when I was awake and able to do so. Cos I went to my parents for a couple of days and never got to read til I went home lol.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Boy in the Dress - David Walliams (ML). Will re-try Confessions of a Fallen Angel - Ronan O'Brien (ML)

Nicki - I read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle A Novel recently and absolutely loved it! Afterwards I saw the interview Wroblewski gave to Oprah and I loved the book even more afterwards.
Stef, I read The Shadow of the Wind last year and loved that as well :-) You guys are reading good books!
Thanks for the update, Fiona - it doesn't sound like a book I have to push to the top of my to-read list anytime soon...

Fiona --
Shogun is one of my all-time favorites!! I loved getting transported to Japan and the samuarais!

[Lisa]

Shadow of the Wind was a great read -- I had trouble at the beginning, but it all came together for me in the end! My book group really enjoyed it and it was well discussed.
Lisa

[Lisa]

[Kathy]

I'm now reading American Lightning:Terror,Mystery, the Birth of Hollywood, and the Crime of the Century, by Howard Blum. It's very interesting and reads like a novel! I'm just about finished with it.

[Avigail]

Well I read mostly i three languages, English, Greek and Hebrew. Right now I read a Greek book called The Eagles Die Free. It's about the WWII and trakes place in Greece, Egypt, Germany, England and a little bit in South Afrika

[Wendy T]

Going to start Inside Out Girl by Tish Cohen

[Susan C]

Birdman by Mo Hayder (new author for me) I'm really enjoying the book.

The Grapes of Wrath - it's a struggle

The Last Lecture

Deviant (non-fiction)

[Susan C]

Has anyone read The Expected One? I loved it and would like some other's thoughts on the book.

I have the next in the series - The Book of Love - on my shelf.

[Lisa]

"Pictures At An Exhibition" by Sarah Houghteling. I was reading something else then discovered that I am late getting this back to the library so am reading it quickly before I take it back.

[Sandra]

I list The Last Lecture as one of my all time favorites. Another I especially liked is My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor. Yes, the Grapes of Wrath is a stretch. I have it on my list to read this summer. Now I am reading The Time Traveler's Wife, and a book by Tom Robbins, a change of genre for me. I too am trying new authors.

[Susan C]

Has anyone read A Reliable Wife?

[Fiona (Titch)]

No Susan. Who is it by hon? Can u give us an idea ie a Synposis of the book please?

[Susan C]

It's by Robert Goolrick

Set in 1909 in rural Wisconsin. Mail order bride with secrets marries man with own secrets. She knows about his past and plans to slowly bring him down and take his money.

Barnes and Noble has a better synopsis but I didn't want to take up too much space, so I abbriviated mine.

Doubleday has the author of Water For Elephants talking about how much she loved it.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Thanks Susan, will add that to my list of wants lol.

[Susan C]

Fiona wrote: "Thanks Susan, will add that to my list of wants lol."

Does the lol mean you want to read it or not? I'm a bit confused,

[Fiona (Titch)]

I will add it. LOL means Laughing Out Loud (adding more books to my 700 odd to be read list.)

I am going to try and read more different genres if poss.

[Susan C]

I thought that's what you meant, but I don't text so I don't know all the subtleties of the abbriviations.

I also am planning on buying it. I thought Water for Elephants was so well written that if the author gives it a thumbs up it ought to be good.

[Susan C]

Does anyone else get Bookmarks the magazine? It comes out every other month and I'm always anticipating the arrival of the new one. I highly recommend the magazine.

[Avigail]

Well I finished the Greek book The Eagles Die Free. It made me cry and I love the author, I will read more of him and I have read books written from him. Well I about to start The Coffee Trader by David Liss.

[Wendy T]

Yes I get Bookmarks magazine. I look forward to getting this magazine every other month. I like seeing all the up coming books and recommentaions.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I put The Colour of Heaven - James Runcie on hold for a bit as I am gettin a copy for myself. So I decided to read The Calling - Inger Ash Wolfe for ML instead (a good gripping and thrilling book).

Susan, never bought or read Water for Elephants. Must add that to my list as well xx
