[Cameron]

Both were excellent novels in my opinion. However, I seemed to like True Believer a little more. I guess it might have to do something with the whole mystery surrounding it.

[Jackie]

Finished Breaking Dawn last night and now I'm onto Stardust.

[Darla]

lol Jackie... I just finished Breaking Dawn...

Starting "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee tonight.

[Fiona (Titch)]

When I have finished The Babysitter's Club: Dawn's Big Date - Ann M. Martin. I will then read Lucky - Alice Sebold.

[Kelly]

Hi Cameron,
I am really enjoying True Believer. I didnt know that there was a sequel but now that I do I will definitely be reading that next. Thanks for the tip.

[Catherine]

Fiona, you read Bleak House?! I've tried at least 4 times and never got more than 100 pages in - this time? dailylit.

[Donna]

Hi, I am reading Peony in Love by Lisa See. I am having mixed feeings about it. Elegant writing and imagery but not the historical fiction I expected since the main character is a ghost. Anyone have an opinion?

[Linda]

Heather, Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely take a look. I finished The Pact today and while I really liked it, it didn't have the pace of some of the other Picoult books. I would probably give it a 4. Just starting Find Me and am thinking about starting Sarah's Key.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

oh my goodness Fiona..the Babysitters Club! I used to LOVE those books!

[Isiah]

Reading Modesitt's stand-alone novel The Eternity Artifact(boring so far), it's sci-fi for the next few months unless I get some good recommendations. I just read Lamb:, <---- that was one of the best books I've ever read. IDK why, I think it's Moore's take on Joshua and how Moore portrayed "His" story. Moore decided to take logic and then apply the Biblical Gospel's to it and then he shat out Lamb, a masterpiece.

[Jackie]

LOL...Lamb is my favorite Moore novel.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Its a quick kind of read, when other books become too much impact.

[Robin]

Hey Heather - I LOVE Gursney - I'm trying to make it last. I just got to the part where we find out about Elizabeth. I thought that would be the outcome. I don't want to spoil anything so I won't say more here. Maybe make a spoilers area.

I just finished Mistborn - I made a post elsewhere - I did enjoy the book but was a bit let down. I think my expectations were too high. Got Flight in the mail the other day so I'm back to reading that - It is fast and I can get it off my TBR list - it has really made a strange turn - started off this mixed up kid and now its all over the place - I need to finish befoer I can say whether I like it or not -the writing style though is pretty good.

Linda wrote: "Finally finished Jane Eyre. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. But now the problem is what next? Have so many choices that confusion tortures my heart."

Have you tried Wide Sargasso Sea, which was written to be a "prequel" to Jane Eyre? It will not be anything like Jane Eyre, as most of it is told from the first wife's pov. It is also quite sensual and steamy and conflicting...Mr. Rochester is not depicted in the best light, but his brooding and often dark, mysterious persona is more fully explored.

[Susan]

I LOVED Lamb. I think it was by far Christopher Moore's best book. Still reading Devil In the White City. What is it with me and non-fiction. I start reading and within 10 minutes I'm fast asleep!

[Robin]

I liked Devil in the White City - more so for the "history" aspects of the time and place and all that came out of that fair - not so much into the murder aspect.

I'm still amazed by the ferris wheel....My mind is blown by something that caries 2,000 peopel and is only as tall as the statue of liberty.

Robin.

[Chrystal]

I used to LOVE the baby-sitter's club.....and the Sweet Valley Twins/High books.....makes me want to get a couple just for old times sake next time I'm in the library!

[Fiona (Titch)]

If your reading a book and it makes u feel like giving up readin for a bit, then I would high;y suggest u grab some lol.

[Kellie]

Jaime
The Plum series is one of my favorites.
I love Grandma M!!!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished The Babysitter's Club: Dawn's Big Date - Ann. M. Martin. Will now read Lucky - Alice Sebold.

[Justine]

I'm reading Cannery Row, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, and still trudging through Pride and Prejudice.
I got on a Steinbeck kick after reading East of Eden. I spent last night walking around Cannery Row and trying to fit everything in from the book.
I just started The Wind-up Bird Chronicle this morning. I've really enjoyed every other Murakami book I've read, and I'm hoping this is just as good.
I'm reading Pride and Prejudice online and only at work. I own the book, but I don't like the type or paper used. Picky much? Haha.

[Sherry]

I loved Cannery Row. I developed such a fondness for Mack and the boys. Enjoy Justine!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Donna - I really enjoyed Peony in Love. It went to weird places, but the quality of the writing helped pull me through.

[Callista]

I'm currently reading The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. I should have it done by tomorrow; I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Finished the third Sookie book (Club Dead) and will be tackling some Russian Lit... but not till the end of my workweek!!!

[Debby]

I just finished The Glass Castle by Jeannete Walls this afternoon. I'll be starting The Last Juror by John Grisham before going to bed tonight.

[Callista]

Just finished reading The Blind Assassin and loved it as much as I thought I would. Am thinking Murder of Angels by Caitlin R. Kiernan is next, although I might go to the library or pick one up from my bookshelf instead.

[Alisha Marie]

I just finished reading The Stolen Child: A Novel and I loved it. Ever since I read The Book of Lost Things (which is how I learned about The Stolen Child), I've been getting into that whole fairy tale gone awry genre. Anyway, loved it and recommend it whole-heartedly.

Tomorrow I'm going to start Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (yes, I know kind of late). I would start it right now, but I'm fighting a cold and the cold is winning. So, hopefully I feel better tomorrow and start reading EL&IC.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

Alisha..i hope you enjoy EL&IC..and i hope you feel better!!

[Kellie]

Debby,
So, what did you think of The Glass Castle.
I was amazed by it!!

[Debby]

Hey Kellie! The Glass Castle was one amazing book!! When a friend recommended it, I had no idea what I was in for when I started reading it.
I think it's a miracle that Jeannette Walls and her siblings made it to adulthood with any sense of well-being at all. Just when I thought her parents couldn't get any more bizarre, unstable, or self-absorbed, they'd do something even more infuriating. Their life circumstances and experiences went way outside my ability to even comprehend - the depth of poverty and abandonment in every area of life. Yet she and her siblings lived it and "made it out" better than I think I would have, to be honest.
So, yeah, The Glass Castle was one very emotionally challenging read, yet is definitely in my top 5 reads of 2008!!

[Mark]

I am reading Tad William's The Dragonbone Chair. I can't decide if I should start the next book in the series or try Londonstani or maybe a Roebrt Crais book. So many choices...

[Robin]

Just finished reading Flight. What a great book - I was very concerned for awhile there but it was easy to read - and while "disturbing" the author had a great style that kept me going. So glad I didn't cut out mid-way it was well worth it in the end.

Susan wrote: "Robin - you MUST read Eat,Pray,Love. It's hilarious and thoughtful. I recommend it to everyone I know.

I just finished Blindness, Twilight & Choke. Loved Blindness, pretty ambivalent about Twili..."

I think I will read Eat, Pray Love - but I have a few before it that I want to get to. I personally didn't like Blindness and my opinions on Twilight are pretty well known. Devil in the White City is worth reading.

Robin.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Been reading Rhinoceros - Colin Forbes

[Alisha Marie]

Thanks, Jamie. Unfortunately, I don't feel all that much better today, but I couldn't wait to read EL&IC, so I started this morning. I've only read one chapter so far, but it seems like it's going to be a good book. And Oskar, completely lovable.

[Catamorandi]

I am currently reading Holidays on Ice. I just finished A Christmas Carol.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Still reading Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Life by Alison Weir. It's as much about her times (12th Century) as about her, but very interesting. An inasmuch as she did a lot to make those times what they were, I don't have much problem with it, especially with the sources being ... problematic.

[Beth Ann]

I just started The Shack. I've been kinda hesitant to read this book for some reason. I'm about half way into it and though it isn't bad, I'm not really sure what all the hype is about. I'm not really liking the author's writing style. I'll finish it and then be able to have more of an opinion of it.

[Ann from S.C.]

Beth Ann, I could not finish it. I am a Christian, but just had a hard time with it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

[Jen]

Ann from S.C. wrote: "Beth Ann, I could not finish it. I am a Christian, but just had a hard time with it. I would love to hear your thoughts on it."

I personally did not care for the writing and thought some of the ways the author presented things were a bit "cliche" already. I read it through to the end where I think it got a little better. All in all I think it might be making a bigger splash in more conservative evangelical Christian circles but barely registering among more progressive or liberal Christians. There are better books that make the same points, I think. This is more of a cheese and crackers version of theology presented in fiction format.

[Mark]

I'm still trying to finish off The Dragonbone Chair. I have enjoyed most of it, though I felt it dragged at points. In typical fashion I have bought my next four books and can't wait to dig in. I picked up John Scalzi's "Agent to the Stars," "Mr. Timothy," by Louis Bayard, "Disco for the Departed," by Colin Cotterill, and "Londonstani" by Gautam Malkani. Two are mysteries, so I think I will need to find a good mystery group to join. After these four I think I will move on to the second book in Tad William's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series.

[Kelly]

Im still working on True Believer but I went to the library today and got "At first Sight" which Cameron told me is the sequel to T.B. I also found out that "The Wedding" is the sequel to "The Notebook". The librarian told me that, so I have my work cut out for me. I've seen the movie "The Notebook" but I've always heard books are better. More detail.

[Catherine]

Really Kelly? I would take a Nicholas Sparks movie over a N.B. book any day, but I think that just might be me.

[Catherine]

Just started The Hours by Michael Cunningham in between papers, which was a horrible idea because it's amazing (so far).

I won't be done with finals until the 23rd, but I have so much to read!

[Cameron]

Just finished The Catcher in the Rye, The Choice by Nicholas Sparks, and The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck. I'm still reading To Kill A Mockingbird, and I plan to start Cannery Row, the 2nd book in this collection of works by Steinbeck. I still have to go to the library and pick up Stardust, which hopefully I can finally start this weekend or early next week. I need to stop reading so many books at a time. lol

[Kelly]

Catherine the only movie of his I've seen is The Notebook and I haven't read the book The Notebook so we will see which one I like better. I looked up your profile and your picture is too cute. Are you the blonde or the brunette? I will definitely want to watch any of his other movies that are out though.

[Kelly]

Cameron how in the world do you keep each book straight when reading more than one at a time? That's something Ive never done before until I found Goodreads but only two at a time.

[Chrystal]

I'm reading Nights in Rodanthe. I read it when it first came out, but since they made a movie I wanted to read it again so I would remember. It's been a while since I originally read it, so it's like reading it for the first time. Love all of his books and movies!
