Am about 100 pages into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I love a good mystery, and this appears to be several mysteries in one. And Lisbeth Salander is an interesting character - looking forward to seeing how her character develops.

I read it several times for high school and college courses and then once again on my own later on. I enjoyed it much much much more when I didn't have a professor picking the book apart and telling me what my opinions of the book and characters should be. Enjoy!

[Maya]

Thats about Vampires isnt it?

[Ashley]

Finished reading "Frostbite" this morning. It is the second book of the Vampire Academy series. I am now going to read "Shadow Kiss" , third book of the Vampire academy series. I am also going to start "Rage: A Love Story" by Julie Anne Peters.

[Kate]

I finished The Nazi Officers Wife, which kept me reading until the end. I'm now reading Sandstorm by James Rollins for a bit of fun.

Welcome Maya!! I really like this one. Let us know what you think!

[[deleted user]]

Lori, you'll be happy to know I finished The Beach and it was AMAZING!! I described it to a friend as "most of the book is cruising along happily, bits of tension to keep it interesting, then you start picking up speed and WHAM! The ending is like hitting a brick wall at 100mph." Complete mind-f**k too if you'll excuse the language, but HIGHLY recommended. I'm now reading the Chronicles of Narnia series, needed something a bit lighter after than one :).

[Irene]

I finished SCOTTSBORO by Ellen Feldman. After reading it, I asked at least ten people if they knew anything about the Scottsboro Nine and the trial. Only one person knew. This is one of the best books I have read this year. It is a historical novel about nine Black men (some were in their early teens), who were convicted of a crime that was never committed. Ellen Feldman's research and writing make this book a true page turner. And I give it ***** 5 Stars

[Writerlibrarian]

I took a detour in rereading Wilful Behaviourby Donna Leon. I'm rereading the Brunetti series. Always a treat. So I'm going back to Lyn Hamilton The Moche Warrior but I also took out from the library the Mitterand book that's causing a bit of a controversy right now La mauvaise vie. We'll see. I'm on a week long break starting late tonight after class.

[Donna]

Ahhh!! Still working on House of Leaves and I am not too crazy about it. I am gonna keep on trekking just to see how far I can get.

I actually read them. 'Tis picks up where Angela's Ashes left off, and then Teacher Man is during and after his college years.

SUCH A GREAT BOOK!!!!!

[Edith]

I just started Swimsuit by James Patterson and realized that it's due back to the library on the 11th. Yikes, I have my work cut out for me. Normally I could read 300 pgs in 3 days but I'm leaving town tomorrow morning for the holiday weekend. I guess I'm not sleeping tonight!

[Donna]

Good Luck Edith!

[Maya]

Hi everyone! I love Margaret Atwood books. The Handmaiden's Tale is my favorite! Her newest one is Year of the Flood and if you liked Crake and Oryx you will like her new one.

I can't wait to see what you think of Vida's book. I'm going to read it soon (along with another Eggers, probably What is the What or The Wild Things) and I'm really looking forward to it.

Dirty Job is my second favorite Moore book too (but Fool is my first).

[Cait]

I just finished Motherless Brooklyn, which I loved. It's my first Lethem and definitely not my last. I want to read As She Climbed Across the Table.

I think now I'm going to start on Ursula, Under by Ingrid Hill.

Trying to get through Half a Life A Novel by V.S. Naipual for my book club. Snooze. Meanwhile, I've also picked up Dancing at the Harvest Moon by K.C. McKinnon. Apparently K.C. McKinnon is another pen name for a well known author. Does anyone out there know who?

[Fiona (Titch)]

Yesterday, I started Swimsuit - James Patterson

Cathie Pelletier is also K. C.

[Beth]

Recently finished Catching Fire and liked it...gave it 4 stars. This is the sequel to The Hunger Games. I'm currently reading The Secret of Lost Things A Novel.

[jessi]

Just finished Life of Pi. Did not particularly care for it, overall.

I am still in the middle of A People's History of the United States, but I am trying to read some fiction simultaneously, because it's not the kind of thing I can just plow through.

[Maya]

i just finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time i thought it was very easy to read and i really enjoyed it i would easily read this over and over again

[Laura]

Currently reading Flashforward by Robert J. Sawyer! My roommate picked it up because we're hooked on the new television show by the same name, and she just FLEW through the book, so I thought... might as well read it too. ;)

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Laura - I love the new series, too. Is the series based on the book, or is it just coincidence. I may have to check this one out.

[Kelly]

Lauen, Interview with a Vampire took me forever to read too. I remember really getting into it once they moved over to Europe though before that it just kind of dragged on.

I just started to read The War of the Flowers by Tad Williams. It's my first book from him and so far so good.

[Laura]

Lyn wrote: "Laura - I love the new series, too. Is the series based on the book, or is it just coincidence. I may have to check this one out. "

So far it does seem somewhat based on the book, at least lightly based -- same initial premise (although in the book, the 'flashforward' is 20 years in the future), at least one common name so far (though I won't tell you which one!).

[Carol]

I am currently reading American Lion Andrew Jackson-Jon Meacham

I started The Bright Forever: A Novel by Lee Martin yesterday.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Laura, the book is quite different from the show, I am not sure where the show is going as far as who caused this and what the outcome will be, but the book was very enjoyable... You will like them both, I am sure, for different reasons ☺

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

For all of you Saramengo fans out there. I am reading my first Saramengo this month. The one I am reading is All the Names. Any others you would suggest?

[Sean]

Just finishing up to kill a Mockingbird... and starting The Lost Symbol my Dan Brown
