Just finished Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice! Starting The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris!

[El]

I have two going right now:
So Long, See You Tomorrow, William Maxwell.
Zuleika Dobson, Max Beerbohm.

[Trish]

I am finishing the Historian. I am very disappointed with the book
---------------------
I was disappointed with this book too.
I am in the middle of the 2nd Outlander series book.

[Michelle♥]

Currently reading two books: The Shining by Stephen King and Hiroshima by John Hersey. I also re-read Twilight last night because I'm a dork. I actually broke the plastic seal on the collector's box just to re-read it. Never thought I would do that but my love for a fictional character got the best of me.

So now about a third into both of these books. I can't wait til I'm done so I can read some more of the books that have been impatiently glaring at me on my TBR bookcase.

[Liz]

I just finished New Moon and am still working on Lady Audley's Secret and Gulyand. Plus I need to start Tender is the Night tomorrow.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm reading The Guns of Avalon right now. I should finish it soon, then I'll probably pick back up with my Halloween-y books and read I Am Legend.

I'm reading My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult, i think i'm going to enjoy it once i get used to the chapters being from different characters stand-points. I think it might be yet another book that puts me in tears, especially if i can go by peoples comments on here.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Listening to Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay.

Yes, get the tissues prepared. And I'm sure you'll get used to the different character chpaters...it is a major part of the story.

[Kelly]

Jayme, thanks for the recommendation! I have Otherland to read next. The War of the Flowers is good so far. I like the way the author writes. It's very "real." I felt so bad for Theo for the first 100 or so pages.

[Carol]

I am reading The Sunne In Splendor-Sharon Kay Penman

[Donna]

Had to put down house of Leaves now I am reading The Lovely Bones

[Beth]

Just finished The Secret of Lost Things A Novel and gave it 4 stars. I really enjoyed this story...I am surprised it has received low ratings from other GoodReaders. I thought the characters and the "mystery" were great! Right now I'm reading The Man in the Picture and The Girl Who Played with Fire.

[Catamorandi]

Just finished the Bell Jar. I really enjoyed it. I am starting with The Time Traveller's Wife today.

The Outlander Series may be my fave books ever. They are ALL so great! Happy Reading!

JG - nice to see you reading Zelazny. One of my favorites.

I just finished All the Windwracked Stars, a strange mix of Norse myth, dystopia, and techno-magic. It did not have all the allegory or allusions found in Zelazny's work, the characters had more human interest (the author is a woman) - but she had some of the same tendencies to mix ideas with imagination and fearless disregard for logic.

I'll probably be starting Treason's Shore next, to see how Sherwood Smith ends her Inda series.

[Kelly]

I love the Outlander series too but to be honest the second and third book were a little slow to me. But they were so important to give you the build-up to the relationship. I don't really look at the other Outlander books as a normal series because it goes so in depth into the relationship building that the storyline takes more of a back burner. At least for me...

[Cay]

I just started two new ones yesterday....

Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Daughter of Fotune by Isabel Allende

I'm not far enough into either to really have an opinion...but SHF is starting to get on my nerves...his thought are too jumbled.

[Kelly]

I Am Legend was a complete let down for me. So much build up for a let down of an ending.

I love Isabel Allende . Have you read her Zorro, what a fun book. I did not like SHF too depressing.

[Cait]

Starting The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris!"

I always thought the movie was great until I read the book. They don't even compare! The book is so much better; I hope you enjoy it.

[Cait]

I just finished The Book of Ralph A Novel, a coming of age novel that I really enjoyed.

I'm starting 2666 by Roberto Bolano. I've wanted to read this book for quite some time but kept putting it off (it seems a bit daunting). I'm ready to dive in now though, and I hope that it exceeds my expectations.

I also plan to read my first Murakami - either Kafka on the Shore or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Any recommendations on which one?

[Jayme]

Kelly wrote: "I Am Legend was a complete let down for me. So much build up for a let down of an ending. "

I haven't read the book yet for that one, but I watched the movie. I wanted to read the book to see if they did a better job with the ending...is it the same ending as the movie? If so I might skip that one. It was indeed a let down.

The book is nothing like the movie. I'd say the movie is LOOSELY based on the book. I was disappointed as I just finished the book and really enjoyed the movie.

[Jayme]

Thanks Christy. I found the movie disappointing so maybe I will like the book!

[KarenLee]

I finished Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal last night and have just started A Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.

As far as Muramaki goes, I really liked Kafka on the Shore. Very strange, but very intriguing novel. Highly recommend it.

I am currently reading 2 books. Still trekking through The Poisonwood Bible...this book is really rough going for me. I can't seem to read more than 3 pages at a time.
I also started Atonement. Not far into it enough to form an opinion yet.

[Lindz]

Yeah, I Love Sunne in Splendour, though Richard and Anne got on my nerves a little.

[Paula]

I'm just getting going in "The Heart-Shaped Box" Joe Hill. It's pretty good so far but I'm not yet 100 pages in. It's good enough to keep me wanting to get back to it.

[Lindz]

Heart Shaped Boxed scared the living stuffing out of me! Fantastic book.

I am loving it so far Lindsay but I don't know if I'd read it if my hubby weren't here! LOL

[Sue]

I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry

[Dorie]

I've just started A Kiss Before the Apocalypse by Thomas Sniegoski. Great beginning.

[Eden]

I'm reading Hex by Arthur H. Lewis

Sue wrote: "I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry"

Great choice!

[Kathy]

I'm reading Her Fearful Symmetry, too, and really enjoying it. My reading has been interrupted for a few days, so I'm hoping to get some reading in tomorrow. Do you think reading is a good reason to tell them why I can't substitute teach tomorrow? LOL

I still have the sequel to read, just haven't gotten there yet. I was so anxious for it to come out and now have not moved it forward. One of these days! LOL

It sure is and the sad thing is, I have so many of these in my stacks!!!

[Lauren]

Just finished The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris! Absolutely loved it!!! Since you guys are saying that it is a scary read, I think I will start The Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill!

I find it so much easier to book put off reading a book if I already own it because ti's always accessible to me.

[Aliceinwonder]

Scapegoat by Daphne du Maurier.... past Chapter 1, which was hard to read since it was too much description. But still sticking with it in light of Rebecca.

All of the books were great (Hannibal not so much)

[Kelly]

I agree I read Red Dragon, goodness, like 8-9 years ago and loved it! But I generally think the books are better because the individual imagination is so much better than anyone's visual perspective of what it "should be." :)

[Lori, Super Mod]

I am really happy to see so many members reading Her Fearful Symmetry! Be sure to join us at AUdrey's Q&A group to discuss the novel with her and ask questions.

Even though she is out touring for her book, she will be checking in sporadically to answer what you post!

[Lynne]

After 145 pages, I finally gave up on Little Bird of Heaven by Joyce Carol Oates. Way too slow. Now reading Elizabeth Berg's book Open House and am loving it! Next up is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

[Lauren]

I am really enjoying Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill! I can't put it down!

Heart Shaped Box is good so far Lauren, I hate putting it down!

That must be what it is Liz because I am really bad about that.
