Scott I finished Relic last night. I really enjoyed it. I feel that it got a little bogged down toward the end but a good read none the less.

Now I'm going to finish Dekker's Circle Trilogy but reading White.

I did too, the characters weren't very believable, but the writing was good, and I liked the plot twists.

I thought the writing was beautiful, very lyrical. I had mixed feelings about the characters. I kind of loved Ralph. I felt like he was a man who had acted ruthlessly through much of his life but then, when he fell in love, he endured too much mostly out of guilt and regret for the man he had once been. I thought about that book for days.

eleanor | 73 comments I'm finally reading "Under the Dome" And surprised that it has a science fiction flavor about it.


message 579: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (shadowrose) I just finished reading Uprising, which was pretty decent, and now I'm just about to start reading Eighth Grade Bites.


message 580: by Scott (new)

Scott Finished The Circle Trilogy: The Complete Trilogy in One Epic Edition.

That is a big misconception about King that all of his books are horror. A lot of his stories are sci-fi or even fantasy. One of my favorites of his was The Eyes of the Dragon which was fantasy.

Hope you like Dome. I did.

Susan I'm reading Asylum Lake by R.A. Evans and will be starting Mercy by Julie Garwood today or tomorrow!

Baxter Clare Trautman Loved The Wasted Vigil In Afghanistan, a Russian woman still searches for her brother who went missing in the Russain-Afghanistan war. She ends up at the home of a British perfume maker who has lost all his family to war yet clings to the belief he might yet find his lost grandson. Enter an American ex-CIA agent, his colleague's son who has become a Special Forces operative, and a young Afghani man on the verge of his first jihad. Beautifully rendered, A Wasted Vigil, is a brutal but stirring look at the sometimes terrible cost of clinging to our ideologies.

I couldn't get into "Under the Dome". I think I might try it as an audio book and see if it flows better that way. Sometimes hearing soemone else read it changes how I see it.

stormhawk | 1184 comments The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett

It is a funny as I can remember.

Sadly, I recently read that Pratchett is in the early stages of Alzheimers and has signed up with an assisted suicide group. Apparently his decision is part of a television documentary that was recently broadcast on the BBC.

Yes, he announced a year or two back that he'd been diagnosed... A sad, sad thing. My mother-in-law had Alzheimers, and I certainly wouldn't wish that kind of deterioration on anyone, much less an author I enjoy.
