A little less than 1/2 through Connollys "The Gates" and it's really humorous! Not quite as dark as Book of Lost Things, but certainly a dark subject... I liken it to reading A.Lee Martinez, Robert Rankin, and Christopher Moore. It's very tongue in cheek!

[Marti]

WOW finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. Found myself racing through the book to solve the mystery with the main characters.

Now I need to find where I put the books Lavender Morning and Holes so I can finish them.

[Brenda]

Finished the book,lucky breaks by Susan Patron. The book is geared for middle school age young ladies.

[Tani]

I am currently working on Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman, which is a young adult fantasy about a girl who disguises herself as a boy in order to become a Dragoneye, which is basically a person who is bound to one of the 12 energy dragons. When I heard about this book, the first thing I thought about was Mulan, my favorite Disney movie, so I couldn't resist reading it, and so far it isn't disappointing me.

[Jamaie]

Finishing "Heart-Shaped Box" by Joe Hill. I don't recommend reading this at night AT ALL. I personally was a bit freaked out the first night I made that mistake..every noise had me thinking there was a ghost in the hall..ugh!~

Starting "Hunger Games" next...or maybe "The Help"...it'll be a fight to see which book takes the dive off my bookshelf first...LOL.

[Jenna]

Just finished Soul of the Fire by Terry Goodkind. Now reading The Life of Pi by Yann Martel and Moveable Feast by Ernest Hemingway.

[Callista]

I just finished The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Just started Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger, as I need some light reading after The Historian and this book is sure to deliver.

[Marti]

Just wrapped up Lavender Morning by Jude Deveraux - lovely read for a cold windy night. Only one left on my short list of already started is Holes.

I made that mistake too when reading this book! So creepy it gave me nightmares! I loved it though!

[Ashley]

Alright, finished Never Let Me Go and FINALLY starting Her Fearful Symmetry :)

[Maureen]

About half-way through Persepolis 2: The Story of a Return, for my face-to-face book club. And I'm nearly half-way done with As Sure as the Dawn. This is the third book of the Mark of the Lion trilogy, and all of them have been page-turners.

I liked this series a lot as well. I am currently reading another Rivers' book called "Redeeming Love."

I have read over 300 pages of it now and love it already.

Callista, I loved that book!

his was a book I enjoyed so much. I thought it was really beautiful and touching.

[Jeane]

Still reading The Mists of Avalonbut also started The Color Purple. I saw the movie when I was about eight I think and though I thought it was really beautiful, it was sooo hard. I thought it was the age...till I started reading it on the tram to work and after only one page I knew it isn't age but the story itself. I am reading it now, about twenty years later, and find it really hard again.

I"ll keep you posted. Mantel's writing includes some very peculiar sentence structures, but I think it works. She's got my head floating around in Tudor England even when I put the book down, so that's a good sign.

[Writerlibrarian]

I'm going back to Sarah Dars Des myrtilles dans la yourte a mongolian procedural.

[Marie-vicky]

Hi everybody,

I'm currently reading Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood.Its seems really interesting in strange at the same time.Basically its a story about a man who live in a tree..............I'm only in the first chapter.

I really want to read that book. Henri VIII era its great.I really like this kind of story.Enjoy your reading

[Beth]

Right now I'm reading The Book Whisperer: Awakening the Inner Reader in Every Child by Donalyn Miller

[Carol]

The movie was fantastic. I really liked it. I have not read the book though. I don't know if I would be disappointed or not.

[Donna]

I just finished reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski.

Even if it was a decade-long endeavor, Wroblewski's retelling of Hamlet is an ambitious, audacious even, endeavor for a first novel. He succeeds, as Smiley did with Lear in A Thousand Acres, in distilling the human element of Shakespeare's tragedy and resetting it in the humble heartland of America, where the tragedy is no less epic in proportion, no less heart rending.

Despite the knowledge that this IS a retelling of Hamlet, the reader is unprepared for the furious cataclysm of the ending, having been lulled into the false hope of a happy ending by Edgar's sojourn in the wilderness, where he gains maturity and the knowledge that he must confront his uncle and accept responsibility for his own culpability in Dr. Papineau's death.

Where does one venture after such a first novel?

It is a very interesting read. You might also want to consider reading her new book The Year of the Flood. It is written in such a way that it can be a stand alone as is Oryx and Crake but they both share some the the same characters and one goes further back in time and one goes forward in time. Enjoy your reading.

[Marti]

I have finished Holes and I have moved onto reading The Heretic Queen another one of Michelle Moran's books about famous historical women characters.

[Heather L]

I'm about a hundred pages into The Hunger Games, pretty good so far. Definitely different.

[Catamorandi]

I am also reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.

[Carol]

Catamorandi wrote: "I am also reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis."

Oooh! Good book

[Maria]

i'm still working on The Winter Rose. this week has been awful, i've had no time for anything. hopefully this week will be a little calmer and i'll get some reading done. :)

[Catamorandi]

Besides Blink by Malcolm Gladwell, I am also reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis.

[Beth]

Just finished Little Boys Come from the Stars. Underlying themes of the first-ever born set of triplets in village, familial ties and traditions, and "democracy" as seen through different lenses, made for a story that was witty, enlightening, and educational. I gave it 4 stars. Now, I'm a few pages into All the Names, so far so good!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Oooh Beth, All the Names is an interesting Saramago novel. Its amazing how much story he can create from one little thing.

[Marie-vicky]

Hi Marti,

Thanks for your comment. I have The Year in the Flood in my personnal library. I'm only at the page 24. Margaret Atwood is very mysterious. I read many of her books and I have always enjoyed her work.Page after page I have no clue what will happen next.I'm really looking forward to find out why Snowman end up living in a tree.

[Patrik]

I just started the A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, #1).

[Sarah (Mood Reader)]

I am currently reading Homer's Odyssey: a Fearless Feline Tale, or How I Learned About Love and Life with a Blind Wonder Cat. It is such a great book I have trouble putting it down!

[Donna]

I am now reading an ARC of Paulo Coelho: A Warrior's Life - The Authorized Biography and the beginning is just explaining an average day in the life of Paulo. I only read the first chapter thus far.

[Jennifer]

Yay! I finished my paper for class. Now I'm going to read Postcards from No Man's Land.

[Susanna]

I'm starting the group read, The Gargoyle.

I am also reading Oryx and Crake..I picked it up at the library & about 1/2 way thru it right now. I am completely loving it. It's my 2nd Atwood after Handmaid's Tale.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Started Wolf Hall last night.

Glad someone warned me that "he" is almost always Thomas Cromwell. Interesting narrative voice so far.

[Emma]

I just picked up The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt and I have to say, I am surprisingly loving it. I read about the first 100 pages at work yesterday and found myself feeling sad when I had to put it down to close up. I am looking forward to spending some time on it today. It is a beautifully written story about troubled and complex characters, although I heard they never get fully developed. Which may be part of the charm of her writing? I am hoping to give this book at least 4 stars, but we shall see!

[Wendy]

I'm reading AN IRISH COUNTRY GIRL. I love these Irish Country books because they're such a lovely escape. Anybody else reading them?

[Callista]

I just finished Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger, which was a perfect "palate-cleanser" in between some more serious books. I'm going to be starting People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks after I finish a research paper and study for my Geometry test tomorrow.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Currently it is The Xibalba Murders: An Archeological Mystery by Lyn Hamilton AND The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Christine, How are you liking this? It's on my to read list.

[Sue]

I just finished The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and Hurry Down Sunshine and now I'm reading Your Coffin or Mine? and Let the Right One In which are more paranormal

[Paula]

I'm just getting started in "Still Life with Crows" Preston/Childs. I went to a book signing with Doug Preston yesterday and talking with other fans realized how far behind on the Pendergast series I was decided to pick this one up which is next in the series for me.

[Leshawn]

I'm reading Evelyn Waugh's "Vile Bodies" and a book of poetry "Flying Out with the Wounded" by Anne Caston. They are both great!

[Leshawn]

Callista,
"Almost Like Being in Love" is on my nightstand "to be read" right now!
