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

And it will move so quickly for you too. I loved it.

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.

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.

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.

I read Pillars of the Earth about 18 years ago and loved it! I have the second one on my shelf and have been avoiding it because of the length, but I'll get to it one of these days.

I'm about 100 pages into The Boelyn Inheritance and really loving it. Its one of those books I can't wait to get back to.

[Writerlibrarian]

Finally finished The Moche Warrior so I can start on Voices my next stop on my ATWi80 trek.

[Ann from S.C.]

Just started THE RUINS by Scott Smith. I hve seen the movie and I have wanted to read the book.

[Stephanie]

To fit with the more gloomy weather and to get into a Halloween-y mood, I'm starting on Rosemary's baby.

[Liz]

Fiona, 5 days in 8 hours? That's impressive!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Dexter was an audio done within 9hrs yesterday and others were done today and they were Young Adults.

I quite liked Jasper Fforde, they were nicely fluffy and a good giggle. Great for when you've just finished something heavy and want to take a step back. What did you think of them?

[Michael]

I'm working my way through Football Babylon by Mel Stein. I was away in Barcelona for a few days, and was banned from bringing it with me!

I took a lot of Grief over this.. but I read the whole series and they are on of my favorites...

[Maria]

again, it's been awhile since i've been on, and i don't have a whole lot to report. i've started Brideshead Revisited which isn't bad, but slow. i finished Knock Me Off My Feet which was a nice light and fast read. i'm also currently reading Going Topless which is also pretty fast and light.

i picked up a few books over the long weekend with my B&N gift cards from my birthday, so hopefully that will kick start my reading for the next week or two!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Im trying to get back into reading after a few days of just being too busy!!

I am picking up Witches of Eastwick, and can you believe I havent seen the film? SO I have no clue what I am getting myself into :)

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished I Am Legend and enjoyed it more than I expected to. I've only seen bits of the Will Smith movie, but I don't think the two had much in common.

I'll be starting Uglies next.

[Lindz]

Am reading Truth by Peter Temple. Loving it. Set in Melbourne, Australia, I love how the city (which I also happen to live) is a little breathing character within the story.

[Heather L]

Recently finished: 1984 and The Next Accident. Now reading a cozy, Dipped, Stripped, and Dead.

I loved The Ruins!! The book was way better than the movie in my opinion! But the movie was pretty cool too!

[Lauren]

Okay... So I started Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill today and so far... I'm scared out of my mind! Great October read!

[Jen]

re: Joyce Carol Oates - there's a great YA book called "After the Crash I Lifted Up My Arms, Spread My Wings, and Began to Fly" - reading specialist read it to my class and now I'm reading it! :)

[Lori, Super Mod]

The Ruins -the book- was way more creepy than the movie for me. I read it first and had all these crazy visuals of the plant and the devestation it reeked on everyone!!

I Am Legend the book - and the movie - cannot be compared. THe book was really good, and the movie was so very loosely based (but still so good!)

[TMBookluvr]

I'm currently reading Shutter Island, i'm about half way through and am enjoying it, can't wait to see the movie. I'm also reading time Traveler's wife and the Other Boleyn Girl. I got from the LIbrary, the Lost Symbol, but probably won't get to that one for a while.

[Donna]

Startig Push- Sapphire

[Edith]

I'm starting Déjà Dead today. I haven't read any of this series so I'm excited.

[Alycia]

Just started reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and have gone thru half a box of tissues already. Obviously I will need to start something else to read simultaneously.

[Juniper]

Hello!

Today, I am going to start The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde.

[Marie-vicky]

hi,
I finished the Last Symbol by Dan Brown.It was an exciting reading with a good pace. There's a lot actions and pages after page there is an incredible amount of details surrounding the story that push me finish it.One more time Dan Brown kept me awake.I'm always impress how he can share his knowledge around a story like this.This one wasn't as impressive than the others but it was a pleasure to read

Next,I will start The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.

I really liked High Fidelity. Saw the movie before I read the book, and they really complimented each other so well. Almost as though the director lifted the words exactly as they were off the page!

[Rachel]

Hey guys, been gone for two weeks due to computer problems. In that time, I finished The Book of Lost Things, very good book, one of those books that I think has a completely different meaning depending on where you are in life when you read it. I read Catching Fire, looking forward now to the third book even though i feel like end of both books feel forced to fit the trilogy format. I also read Handle With Care by Jodi Piccoult. Subject matter, as someone born with a disability, made me angry. I was prepared for that but I still kept putting the book down to think about it. In my opinion, that's a good book. One that makes you think and pushes some sort of button, even if it's anger or fear. Right now i'm reading The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. My first Atwood too, although The Blind Assassinhas been recommended several times to me.

[Donna]

Welcome back, Rachel!

[Rachel]

Thanks Donna!

[Ashley]

I have been MIA.
I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry. It is good so far.

Never saw the movie, but the book was one of those, you keep thinking about long after it's finished! Really creepy and good!
