[Beth]

I'm reading Tricks by Ellen Hopkins right now.

[Edith]

I just started The Girl Who Played with Fire. I'm a little late for the monthly group read but I was waiting in line at the library. Better late than never :)

[JSou]

Finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt, which I loved. I highly recommend it. Over the weekend, I started Death by Zamboni by David David Katzman.

[Claire]

I just started reading Under the Dome this weekend and so far its good. I may try and pick up The Stupidest Angel too for the group read. I haven't read any of Christopher Moore's books ---- plus Under the Dome may be a bit heavy to lug on the bus every day to work!

Me too! Feels like I am the last person on the planet to read this. haha! I just finished the first couple of chapters and so far, so good. :) I hope you enjoy it as well!

I was thinking since I didn't like "The Time Traveller's Wife" and most people haven't liked "Her Fearful Symmetry" that there is a chance that I might like it! LOL

[Stacey]

I've just started reading "The Alienist" by Caleb Carr. Haven't gotten far enough into it to say whether or not I like it. I had to read this book because its sequel, "The Angel of Darkness", has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. I absolutely cannot read books out of order (i.e., #2 before #1) in a series. Drives me nuts!

LOL Stacey, I have the same problem and have both of these in my stacks. I really want to get to them but in order also.

[Maicie]

Just started Of Bees and Mist A Novel.

I loved the Dexter books, and I really love the show too. I wish there were more of the books available, as they were a really quick read.

I loved the Alienist when it came out. I have no idea how it holds up now. But I remember reading it in about 3 days.

[Carol]

Twisted Tree-Kent Meyers
The Charlemagne Pursuit-Steve Berry

[Erika]

Just finished Empress by Karen Miller and about to start the riven kingdom the 2nd book.

[Lori, Super Mod]

For the "Her Fearful Symmetry" wonderers...
I think it is far superior to Time Travelers Wife, if only becuase of the many layers to each character....

The developement is incredibly different. I recommend everyone give it a shot (whether in HC or PB)

I was not really impressed with the Time Traveler's Wife either so I am waiting to hear what other people think about Her Fearful Symmetry

[Pollopicu]

I'm reading a Tale of Two Cities.

Quite a few like it. I don't know if I want to invest in that genre.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I just started two new books:

The Lady Elizabeth A Novel by Alison Weir AND Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella

I absolutely loved The Time Traveler's Wife and pretty much hated Her Fearful Symmetry. My friend had the same reaction. I agree that they are very different books. You shouldn't try to judge one by the other.

[Carol]

I know I should not be so adamant,but I don't think I care for her writing style. I will get the book at the library and glance through it to see if it will be worth it to me. I know I am in the minority here.

[[deleted user]]

i got 2 more books to read after my other one and now i am on page 34 and i am reading like mad i need to slow down.

[Patricia]

Just picked up The Stupidest Angel today at the library, my first Christopher Moore book. Looking forward to the discussion!

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I decided to read Mama Makes Up Her Mind And Other Dangers of Southern Living. It's a quick read that I'm enjoying. Her family keeps reminding me of people I know, which just cracks me up!

After I finish this I will definitely get back to Shogun.

I read this in college and while I don't remember specifics, I know I definitely had problems getting into it. I really did not care for it at all when I finished it. I wondered if I went back now, if I would like it more. Good luck with it if you decide to continue.

Tammie you lost me. What book are you reading and what is your next line up. Why are you reading so fast , is it that good?

[Arun]

Folks I finished Pillars of the Earth finally..allthings considered it is a good read

I've only read the first chapter now and so far I'm not feeling the love. Could be that yesterday was pretty stressful and I was just too tired to concentrate. Now, back to reading, hoping it's better now that I'm actually awake.

[Samantha McNulty]

Finished My Sister's Keeper this morning and started Me and Mr Darcy.

[Jennifer]

Carrie wrote: "Jennifer, how was HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY? I'm dying to read it."

I thought it was okay. I'm really glad I didn't go out and buy it. But others enjoyed it. Personally, I thought The Time Traveler's Wife was waaaayyy better. It was a slow book and pretty weird. The concept seemed cool, but it just didn't develop for me. Maybe you'll enjoy it more though...I gave it a 3 out of 5.

[Donna]

I am now reading Rant by Palahniuk

[Ti]

Right now I'm reading The girl that played with fire, and am half way through with it. I'm also reading but in a slower pace, The Thirteenth Tale and Divisadero by Ondaatje.

Wow you are a fan of Anne Rice. I never could get onto the vampire things.

I'm currently reading The Plot Against America and will be starting Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency tonight.

The Stupidest Angel is a good book, but not Moore's best... I'd suggest you check out A Dirty Job or Lamb The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal if you enjoy it at all. He's actually really great-- I'm jealous of anyone who is just starting to read his stuff!

[Nikz]

Just finished Boneshaker by Cherie Priest and I'm now reading an ARC of Truly, Madly by Heather Webber. Perfect curl up with a blanket kind of book. :)

[Carol]

I really like the Maximum Ride series and the New York Detective series and the woman's murder club series , by James Patterson.

ok, thanks, I'll give those Christopher Moore books a try. I figured I just better concentrate on Under the Dome right now or I'll never get through it - its so long.....but really good so far.

ok i,ll try them to

[Writerlibrarian]

I took a slight detour during the last half of November rereading Lindsey Davis early Falco books (3 of them), slipping in between the first and the second a reread of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I finished the month with Monica Ferris latest addition to her needlework series : Blackwork which was amazingly good. Vintage cozy mystery. A nice surprise since the last few novels were less than average. I'm back reading Sharpe's Gold and still love it.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I really like the Falco books I've read, Writerlibrarian. I keep meaning to continue on with the series and I keep getting distracted by other things.

[Cindy]

The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver. Not the pageturner I'd hoped for, but I'm working through it.

[Edina]

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart (it is about a secret society) and I love it!

[Maria]

Linda wrote: "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."

if you liked The Eyre Affair you should check out the other books in the series. they're just as entertaining and full of literary reference, and the world he created doesn't get old or trite.

Jenna wrote: "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. "

i hope your opinion of this one changes once you're done! i really liked this story, i think that the actions the nurse takes are just incredibly brave.

[Brenda]

I finished yesterday listening to Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen. The book was very entertaining.

[Ann from S.C.]

Am reading HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY by Audrey Niffenegger and I am really liking it.

[Jennifer]

I'm going to start Dracula.

I read this last month, and I can understand what you are saying about the characters (keeping track of them). I love books based on India though, and I find that this is pretty common. Personally, I thought it was a great book so hopefully it will pick up for you. But I just enjoy that genre overall so I may not be the best advisor.
