I read Shutter Island recently then saw the preview for the movie, saw it in a whole new light. I also have Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone on my bookshelves. Just
finished Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman at work tonight. Now I don't know what to start, narrowed it down to or

I'm giving it a bit longer because the story seems intriguing. Thanks, Lori!

Have you reached the episode in the Newspaper Office yet, Carol? Very effective way of writing but.....shoot me......so little happens. I'm finally done and have moved past that into the next episode.

I used to read parts of a book by Pieter Aspe in our tv guide in Belgium but never seem to like it.

Oeps, I jsut realized that I think I bought Pride and prejudice yesterday, which I had already read, thinking i was buying Sense and Sensibility. I hope I bought the latter.

[Jeane]

I finished the wonderful The Library of Shadows and The Chimes of which I still don't realize what t was about.
Finally started The Mists of Avalonand really liking it.

[Lu]

I'm starting A Day In the Life of Ancient Rome, by Alberto Angela. Has anyone read this?

[Jeane]

Fran, no..but it sounds very interesting!!!

[Carol]

I read ROMA ,it covered centuries of Roman history. Your book sounds interesting , let us know.

[Jayme]

Rachel, you should definitely read the Watchmen next. Killer!

Sandman is very quickly turning into a favourite of mine. Start reading them anyway, they've been written so you can pick up any one of the volumes and not be lost. Especially the short story ones, like Fables and Reflections, that I just finished, or The Sandman Vol. 03 Dream Country.

[Ellie]

I just finished Speak and am currently reading Drowning Ruth by Christina Schwarz (its an Oprah's Book Club book) and am about half way through it. Its pretty good so far.

[Carol]

I loved The Mists of Avalon - it's been a long time since I read it but you've just reminded me of it and I might have to dig it out again.

[Carol]

It has been years since I read The Mists Of Avalon... I remember I liked it.

[Vicki]

I have a few going right now. I just started The Red Tent, I am also reading The Eyre Affair and The Forest of Hands and Teeth.

[Carol]

The Red Tent was interesting. I wondered if it was factual though.

Thanks, Jayme! That's good information. I'll see about getting Vol. 2 from the Library.

I figured out the twist early on but it still didn't ruin it for me because I had to find out the details! I'm anxious for the movie now.

It wasn't required for us either (back in the stoneage). LOL I read it just a few years ago.

[Alisha Marie]

I stopped reading The Secret History of the Pink Carnation because I was 200 pages in and it just wasn't moving along. I'm now reading Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen.

[Leah]

I am reading The Once and Future King .. always wanted to read it and finally got it for christmas.. its amusing.. ^_^

[Maddie]

Just finished The Hero and the Crown. I really loved it!!
Now, I just started Dead Until Dark.

[Karen]

Reading Body of Lies--Iris Johansen--Eve Duncan #4

[Marti]

I just finished A Change in Altitude. It was good, but has left me with this nagging question about guilt... What is it and what is your responsibility as human?

I am not sure what is next - I could finish Holes, The Heretic Queen, Firefly Lane or what ????

[Lori, Super Mod]

Margaret, I am reading that as well... a little over the halfway mark, but it pales in comparision to some of his other books, for me...

[Alycia]

I just finished The Stainless Steel Rat Sings the Blues, which was my first one from that series. Honestly not sure if I liked Jim or not ... I'll have to read a couple of others to decide.

[Beth]

Just finished Crazy Beautiful...a YA book whose main characters, coming from totally different backgrounds, are both strong enough to trust their gut instincts and do what is right. Also finished The Enthusiast A Novel, a book that is SO worth taking the time to read...not just for its hysterical "intellectual humor," but also for watching the main character learn from his life experiences. Now I'm reading Four Freedoms A Novel and enjoying it so far.

[Paul]

Just started Just After Sunset

[Maddie]

Thanks, I think I'll read that!! Have you read any of McKinley's other books? So far I want to read The Blue Sword, Sunshine, and Deerskin.

[KarenLee]

I am about to start To Die For by Joyce Maynard.

My son gave me the first season of True Blood for Christmas. Since Christmas, I've watched the whole season and read the 9 books that are currently out. An addiction, I fear.

[Lauren]

Just finished Shutter Island!! WOW!! I loved it! Now I am starting Her Fearful Symmetry! Really excited to read this one too!

[[deleted user]]

Just finished From Dead To Worse (Sookie Stackhouse #8) by Charlaine Harris. Loved the ending on this one. I don't think it had quite the same pull and "big" moments as some of the others but still very enjoyable to read.

Now onto Poppy and Dingan by Ben Rice which will be a quick light read. It's based in country/rural Australia and is about a young girl who's Dad loses her imaginary friends. Even though I'm Australian its a little anoying with some of the jargon though if I wasn't Australian I don't know that I'd know what they were talking about.

I'll be curious to see what you think of this! I liked it, but I thought that Skeleton Crew was better.

[JSou]

I finished Everything is Illuminated on New Year's Eve and absolutely loved it. It was definately one of the best I've read all year.

Starting the New Year with Fallen by David Maine, and also started Ulysses by James Joyce.

I absolutely loved that book. When I was done, I couldn't believe I had let it languish so long on my shelf before reading it. I just started #2, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and it is shaping up to be even more amazing.

So far I've read the first 5 stories,the first one was so-so but the others have been good.
It's been along time since I've read Skeleton Crew but I remember I liked most of the stories.
