I know, so many people didn't like it but I thought it was very well done. I have it in my keeper stash.

Claire (clairebear8) | 514 comments I just finished Midwives by Chris Bohjalian and loved it. I highly recommend it. Not sure what I'm going to pick up next. My sister gave me her copy of Under the Dome but I'm not sure if I want to tackle that one yet.

Yes, it was very good, Tammie. If you haven't read it yet, do so! It is very well written and is hard to put down.

Linda | 887 comments Just finished The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde and give it a 4. Entertaining and informative. Really a different kind of read for those who like books that are mysteries about books.

All of Chris Bojhalian's book I think are good. I particularly liked The Buffalo Soldier and The Double Bind as well as Midwives


message 16209: by Lisa (new)

Lisa | 437 comments Those three are the only Bojhalian books I have read, but I really enjoyed all three. Double Blind was my favorite.

I just finished Kindred in Death by J.D. Robb. It did not disappoint. I am now 2 chapters into Drood and loving it so far.

Jason Clay (goodreadscomwillshakespeare) | 66 comments At the moment I am reading Richard Dawkins The Greatest Show on Earth. One of the best popular science books I have read this year. Soon as I have finished it, will read Russia against Napoleon 1807-1814.


message 16212: by Jayme (new)

Jayme (jayme-reads) Finished The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw One Woman's Fight to Save the World's Most Beautiful Bird, I have mixed feelings about it, mostly because it reads like a really long magazine article, but I really loved the subject. Now I'm onto Blankets.

I really enjoyed the book. My best friend could not stand the book because the letters moved to slow for her. Hope you enjoy it.

I really enjoyed the book. I read it for a book group and enjoyed it so much - my other books group is going to read it and I am going to reread it.


I reading The Untamed Bride by Stephanie Laurens

Jason Clay (goodreadscomwillshakespeare) | 66 comments I have started today Russia against Napoleon and it is an excellent history book. It vividly brings the period to life and the scholarship is marvellous.

I am curious to know more about the The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Can you give me a little teaser as to what the story is about? Don't spoil anything for me, just try to let me know what the book is generally about. I would really appreciate it. :)

Jason Clay (goodreadscomwillshakespeare) | 66 comments I guess in a nut shell its a father and son road movie, set in a devastated world. There is more to it than this, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

Delan, I liked the Piano Teacher although I thought it fizzled a bit at the end. Would still recommend it though.

Paul Hollis | 194 comments No it's based on the German novel The Piano Teacher by Elfriede Jelinek


message 16226: by El (new)

El Finally have decided to bite the bullet and read Heart of Darkness. I just want to mark it off my list already.


message 16227: by Maureen (new)

Maureen Reading Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island. I needed something a little lighter after all of the drama in Breaking Dawn (Meyer). ;-)

Marti (marjay) | 985 comments I am starting the Weight of Silence. It is our December read for one of my bookclubs.


message 16229: by Beth (new)

Beth Diiorio (beth_diiorio) | 52 comments Recently finished reading Nicholas and Alexandra and The Tricking of Freya. Both were 4 star books for different reasons. I have to say, Christina Sunley's writing style and subject matter were refreshingly unique. Now I'm reading A Corpse in the Koryo.


message 16230: by El (new)

El Was finally able to get Heart of Darkness off my list. Luckily it was a quick read.

Now reading The Magnificent Ambersons.

Jenna | 224 comments Reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards. It's just ok for me. I thought it would be alot better. I should finish it up today though.


message 16232: by KarenLee (new)

KarenLee I just finished The Girl Who Played With Fire. Amazing!

I have started a Goodreads giveaway, The Things That Keep Us Here by Carla Buckley and am enjoying it.


message 16233: by Maicie (new)

Maicie Finished:
Deeper - okay horror, not great.
Push A Novel - disturbing but good.
2012 The War for Souls - I forgot I had read this when it first came out. Very good.

Started:
Breathless A Novel.


message 16234: by Petra (new)

Petra I just started The Seven Daughters of Eve The Science That Reveals Our Genetic Ancestry. The second chapter was a bit tedious but it's gotten more interesting since then.


message 16235: by Jason (new)

Jason Clay (goodreadscomwillshakespeare) | 66 comments Hi Petra a science book I read a while ago that was good was Mismatch The Lifestyles Diseases Timebomb by Peter Gluckman and Mark Hanson.
It was very interesting and the style of writing was just right, intelligent and yet geared to a reader who didn't have a scientific background.


message 16236: by Delan (new)

Delan Robbins | 21 comments Started The Stupidest Angel today.

Dorie (dorieann) | 430 comments I started At Swim, Two Boys A Novel by Jamie O'Neill and have fallen completely in love with the writing and the dialogue. Wonderful book so far.


message 16239: by Donna (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 1626 comments Reading The Lightning Thief now. I think I'll be down tomorrow. It's a quick & easy read


message 16240: by Celeste (new)

Celeste (celestelueck) | 107 comments Rereading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I read it years ago when it first came out, but since I now have a child going to school there and I know the city the book is even more enjoyable. Just a great read, and to think it all happened.

I'm also listening to The Name of the Wind and loving it.

And yes, I am still reading, as an ebook, Twenties Girl. I don't think ebook is my best reading format. When I get on the computer it is usually to see what you guys are doing or check with my friends on Facebook. Oh well, I'm sure to finish it someday.


message 16241: by Susanna (new)

Susanna (jb_slasher) Finally, starting The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger tomorrow. (Now off to bed since it's 2 AM!)


JG (Introverted Reader) I had to take a break from Shogun, so I just finished Poison Study. I loved it! Now I'm not sure whether to get started again on Shogun or maybe squeeze one more "breather" book in.


message 16243: by Olympia (new)

Olympia (oly366) | 7 comments Hello everyone, my name is Olympia I'm a bookaholic. I just started The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. I'm having such a difficult time not only keeping up with all the characters, but getting into story itself is difficult. If anyone has read it please send me some feed back. I greatly appreciate it. Thank you and happy reading.


message 16244: by Kim (new)

Kim (vleugels) i'm reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, for the first time. i'm already loving it, real impressive.

message 16246: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (missfryer) | 453 comments I'm reading The Da Vinci Code (Robert Langdon, #2) by Dan Brown . It's amazing! I don't know why I waited so long to read it!



message 16247: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (missfryer) | 453 comments Jennifer, how was HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY? I'm dying to read it.


message 16248: by Carol (new)

Carol I am reluctant to read Fearful Symmetry, I did not care for the Time Travelers Wife. I know I will not buy the hardback. So it will be a while if ever.
