I was disappointed with this book too.
I am in the middle of the 2nd Outlander series book."

I overall liked The Historian, but thought it would never end! I was like "Wrap it up, already!"

[Sanela]

I loved The Historian. I thought it was an interesting twist on a classic topic. It was long though.

[Michele]

i really liked this book, he writes like his dad

[Alisha Marie]

I'm currently reading A Good and Happy Child A Novel by Justin Evans and it's pretty creepy so far.

Hi Jennifer,
I'm curious to hear your opinion of The Eyre Affair after you read it. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the story, and I ended up getting #2 in the series, Lost in a Good Book to read next.

[Marti]

I am currently reading Olive Kitteridge for my book group and Temptation and Surrender for a little escape. sigh sigh

Hey Beth and Jessie!

I am happy to hear more positive things about this book. I am just about to start reading...as soon as tear myself away from GR! :)

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm glad you guys are talking up The Ruins. I picked it up at a library book sale and didn't realize it was creepy. I think I can fit it in this month for Halloween.

I finished Uglies. I enjoyed it more than I expected also. I'm not a huge fan of dystopic books, but this one kept me turning the pages.

I'm starting on Rose Madder now.

I'm reading Await Your Reply by Dan Chaon. I have never read this author before and so far I am quite impressed! He has really drawn me into the worlds of the three main characters and I am anxious to see how they will intersect.

Lori, have you seen The Last Man on Earth or The Omega Man? Those were 1960’s era films (Vincent Price and Charlton Heston respectively). Can’t say they were good movies but Matheson wrote the screenplay for Last Man so it follows the book better. I loved the Will Smith I Am Legend but more for the action and Smith than for it’s closeness to the novel.

[Michelle♥]

Oh my gosh! I am literally kicking myself for have waiting so long to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I do not know why or how I came to be the only person left on this Earth who has not yet read this book, but it was simply glorious. I could not believe how much I enjoyed it and I definitely plan on re-reading it over and over again! (And I am NOT one for re-reading books!!!)

This was a marvelous and exquisite dystopian tale of burning books. I love the concepts, ideas, and realism that Bradbury was able to portray and how he captivated the mind, body, beliefs, and soul of the reader in under 200 pages!

I am simply taken aback by this piece of literature that now I am dumbfounded as to what to pick up next!

[JSou]

I read F451 for the first time this year too, Michelle! I was completely blown away by it. I'm so glad you loved it, too!

[Susanna]

Jon Krakauer's Into The Wild. I have the movie in wait, too.

[Paula]

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 ...

Marie-Vicky I absolutely LOVED "The Art of Racing in the Rain". I read it last December and it's still my favorite book! Hope you enjoy it.

I loved Heart-Shaped Box. I thought it was super scary.

I'm a little over half way through "Heart-Shaped Box" and am enjoying it too. I hate to put it down.

[Paula]

Hi Michelle and Jessica,
Okay...you convinced me to read Fahrenheit 451. Yes, there are those of us who STILL have not read it. However, you both sound so enthusiastic, I just have to give it a try!

[Maya]

just finished Burial of Ghosts by Ann Cleeves it was ok not my favourite but i thought it was very easy to read though i read it in less than 48 hours lol im starting Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella now

[Joseph]

I'm surprised at the adulation Farenheit 451 is getting. As an English major with graduate degrees, who also taught and is an award winning writer,I can't see what all the fuss is. It's an old idea ,the writing is merely professional, and the relationships pretty tepid. A good book? Yes. But,in my humble opinion , no more than that.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Oh Joseph, F451 is my most favorite Bradbury novel. It was such a great book. It hold a spot in my "fricken awesome" shelf!!!

[KarenLee]

I first read F451 in the mid-late 60's and was deeply moved by the book as well as educated. I lived in a small rural town and had no exposure to this type of writing until then.

Joseph, I'd love to know what other books there were at that time with same idea. I obviously missed them.

The movie is excellent. Beautiful photography, and the actor who played McCandless did an outstanding job of portraying his struggles and his arrogance.

I had a HUGE crush on Mr Spock back in the day, lol, so I first listened to a lot of Bradbury's work on audio recordings narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

[Ann from S.C.]

Just finished THE RUINS and was really creeped out! It was alot like the movie, but different enough to make it interesting.

Now I started EVERYBOYS GOT ONE by Meg Cabot. I needed something light!
