[Lori, Super Mod]

As far as Palahunick goes, Survivor and Invisible Monsters are by far his best! I would definetly read those before I write him off for good. I havent read Fight Club, but have read just about every other book of his.....

[Lynne]

Just started Best Friends Forever.

[Mrsrosmariebelikov]

I'm currently reading the third book to the Vampire Academy Series 'Shadow Kiss' by Richelle Mead for the second time. It's a great series!

[Stephanie]

Almost done with The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, which is OK but not overly impressive. I hadn't read anything by King for a long time and I'm halfway wishing this wasn't the first one I picked up after my hiatus. But it's still a worthwhile read.

I just picked up a bunch of her books including The Irish Pub series, The Key series and The Circle series...

[Carol]

Just finished Islands by Anne Rivers Siddon. I am now starting Borrowed Time by Robert Goddard. I don't know if I am going to like Gate House by Nelson DeMille or not. We shall see.

I guarantee you won't be disappointed!! If you get sick of romancey happy endings though, I would suggest you take a break between each series. :)

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I picked up Maus I A Survivor's Tale My Father Bleeds History and Maus II A Survivor's Tale And Here My Troubles Began and I'll be giving them both five stars. The author wrote two graphic novels about his father's experiences as a Jew in Poland in WWII. Powerful stuff and it would be great for older kids to learn about the holocaust this way. It is still what it is, but the Jews are mice and the Germans are cats.

I needed a break from all the holocaust stuff, so now I'm reading Welcome to the World, Baby Girl! A Novel by Fannie Flagg. I like it, but not as well as her most well-known book, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe.

[Emma Kate]

I'm reading Ark Angel by Anthony Horowitz: Part of the Alex Rider Series and it's good so far. I just finished Double Identity: Part of the Haddix books and I would deffinitely give it *****

[Emma Kate]

(***** means five stars).......idk if you knew that. Just clearing it up!

[Carol]

Yes I liked Welcome To The World Baby Girl also

[Amanda]

Just finished up Black Hills and just about to start Lolita. :)

[Carol]

I want to read Lolita at sometme in the future

I have this one on my pile of books to read. I haven't read King since college...it's been a while. So, it was just okay?

[Jenna]

Just started Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. Seems like I will enjoy it.

[Lisa]

I just finished The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. It was entertaining, but I thought the ending was very predictable. I also didn't like moving back and forth between the two timelines.

I have a pile of library books, but I don't know which one I want to read next. Maybe The Secret Life of Bees.

[Jennifer]

Pre-accident King is better than post-acident King. I think he lost his edge when he got run over

[Christy]

Jack and Mr. Grin by Andersen Prunty for the Horror Aficionados group read.

I highly recommend The Secret Life of Bees, it's one of my favorites!

[Leanna]

still working on The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower by Stephen King and I'm loving it. I've got about 350 pages left and I have to say it's really depressing. I'm excited to finish, though, and kind of ready to move on to something new, even though I love the series and am sad that it's over.

On a good note, I'm unemployed and out of school for the next three weeks so I will hopefully get tons of reading done. :D

I agree!! Nice story.

I'm reading If Not Now, When? which is really interesting, but a little slow. Am loving loving The Shadow of the Wind

[Victoria]

I'm reading Night Watch by Sarah Waters and really enjoying it. The going backwards in time concept is really quirky.

[Avigail]

Well I still read The Grapes of Wrath - by John Steinbeck and Dear John - by Nicholas Sparks. I enjoy both of them

[Bluemoon]

I soooo envy you Sara. I still can't find a copy here in the Philippines.

[LaTrica]

Vampire Hunter D, Volume 4 Tale of the Dead Town. I love these Vampire Hunter books. I like Anne Rice's vampires but overall I think I prefer vampires when they're evil and get killed.

[Ann from S.C.]

I started TWENTIES GIRL by Sophie Kinsella. On page 97 so far and it is ok, not as funny as Shopoholic series yet.

[Liz]

I finished The French Lieutenant's Woman last night and started Only In Your Dreams, which is one of the gossip girl novels.

[Staci]

I'm finally reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao ... and it is wild!

[Rachel]

I finishd reading Cell which, for all it's open-endedness at the end, i still find to be a very fun read. Started Dying to Live which oddly enough ( and I'm sorry if this offends anyone, i don't mean to) seems to have very Christian undertones. Kinda makes the main character a little weak for me but I'm just starting so we'll see...

[GracieKat]

I just got finished with The Hour of the Oxrun Dead which was just so-so. Now I'm going to be reading Stiff The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers.

[Candy]

Hi,

I'm new here and wanted to dive in.

Currently reading Ursula, Under, with The Thirteenth Talebeing next in line. I just finished The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox which I enjoyed though it was not at all what I expected.

[Lauren]

I just finished Misery by Stephen King and will be starting Gerald's Game by Stephen King shortly!

[Bluemoon]

The Thirteenth Tale is an awesome read. I read it last year for my local book club and couldn't put it down. I hope you enjoy it as well.

[Kristine]

The Time Traveler's Wife and The Girl who Played with Fire

[[deleted user]]

Just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns... it's 4 o'clock in the morning here. I had to finish it!

Will read The Italian Quarter next (after I finish Primo Levi and The Three Musketeers).

[Celeste]

Hi Guys,

I haven't written in a while. Sometimes life just gets in the way, but I have been read and you guys have been reading some great books. [The Thirteenth Tale:], [The Shadow of the Wind:], and [The Red Tent:] are three of my favorite book.. I have so many of those you guys are reading on my TBR list.

I currently reading: [The Professor and the Madman:] by Simon Winchester(I don't read much nonfiction,but this one has sure gotten my attention); [Angels and Demons:] by Dan Brown( I'm probably one of the last people on the face of the earth to read it); and I'm doing my first ebook with Barnes and Nobles, I'm reading [Twenties Girl:] by Sophia Kinsella( this is my first of her book) it's ok so far.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Celeste... check out your links... I think you are missing an important of them :)

Candy, welcome to the group. The Thirteenth Tale was a group read of ours in the not too far away past. Check out the discussions we held once you get around to it!

[Melody]

I have just finished Uglies and I really liked it. Am looking forward to the other books in the series. Am about to start Flowers for Algernon which I have been wanting to read for ages.

[Candy]

Lori, Thanks for the welcome! I'd noticed that The Thirteenth Tale was a group read here. I haven't read too much of the discussion but it did help me to move the book up to the top of my to read pile. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm really enjoying Urusla, Under and recommend it highly.

[Michelle]

Hey, I'm Michelle.

I'm reading 'The Great Gatsby'. I'm almost done. But I have a hard time choosing the thesis of writing an essay of it. Can everybody think of an interesting topic to write an essay??

[[deleted user]]

Hi Michelle... it's been a while since I had to do an essay of this kind (and I'm so old that I had my first computer in Grad School, and no Internet!! egads!!) and I really hated Gatsby, but:

http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/gatsby/...

The old standby...

When I was in high school the big thing was cliff notes (they still around?) and our teacher said to us on the first day of senior English: "Nobody should even think of using Cliff notes... I wrote them all!"

[Michelle]

Oh, thanks for helping me to find some essay topics.
I should have looked at sparknotes..(I don't think many people are using cliff notes these days..)

Anyway, fancy meeting you, Hayes.
Are American students or other students living in English-speaking countries reading this book a lot?

[Jennifer]

Hi Michelle. Gatsby was a requirement for American literature in my school district. I read it my junior year in high school.

[Yvette]

Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri - The book is full of short stories that are all interesting but tragic, I guess that's the point??

[Michelle]

Thanks, Jennifer. For me, the book is little boring though, I'm trying to enjoy reading it. Let me ask you one more question.

Do you have any book by which you impressed to recommend for highschool student in mind?

[Jennifer]

Hi again Michelle...my favorite book that I read when i was in high school was The Catcher in the Rye. A book that I re-read recently (and loved) that was a mandatory read in high school was To Kill a Mockingbird. I have other recommendations that I'll think about, but those 2 popped up quickly in my mind (but in the mean time you can check out the books on my profile).

[Michelle]

I read both of them, but thanks anyway..I guess thinking of book-lists that you read long time ago was pretty bothering. THANKS AGAIN....
