Hi Syd, welcome to the group, I absolutely loved the Book Thief and Zucak's writing style, he had some beautiful lines and themes in there. Hope you're enjoying it :)

Thanks Clare!! I am only in the first 50 pages - so far, I am loving it! :)

[Donna]

Finished up on The Book of Lost Things and now I am reading Flowers for Algernon

[Edith]

Just started Open Season. I'm trying to get through a daunting stack of books from the library. This was the next one in line.

One of my absolute favorites of all times. The ending is a OH MY GOSH

[Marti]

Whoops, I am reading the Unnamed and am finding it fascinating - absolutely FASCINATING!!!!! Here in NH the flooding is mostly in the south of the state, so I am lucky up here on my hill. Sorry Eliza for the reading slump and day off without a book. I think that sounds scary!!!!

[M.]

I've finished the Decoy Princess (4 stars!) and am now onto Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. What a way to start off a book... 3 murders, a wondering baby and a graveyard full of ghosts! Looking forward to see how this one play out.

[Lianne]

I started reading Robert Ludlum's The Paris Option yesterday on the train ride back home for Easter weekend. I was a little weirded out at the beginning because of the writing style but the story's gotten better and pretty intense so it's been good =)

Edit: lol, just finished it xD

[Beth]

Right now I'm reading Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann and Sufficient Grace: A Novel by Darnell Arnoult, both for monthly group reads here on GR.

[Jason]

Finished Storms of my grandchildren and it was well written but unbelievable in the most part. I mean sea level rises of 250 feet ?

[Sasha]

Are you already done with Civilization, Jason? I'm only up to the Enlightenment.

[Bhumi]

Just finished Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. Hope to get the second in the series and start it soon!

I am picking up McCann's book from the library later!

[Jason]

Hi Alex I intend to start reading it again, just taking a break from reading it at the moment. You know how it is you see new books and you get the urge to read them and before you know it you have put down the book you was already reading.
Just tonight I finished a couple of books and started everywhere and everywhen because I got a yearning for science and philosophy. When the History bug bites me again the civilizations book is where I'll head to.

Excellent! Let me know how you like it!

[Sasha]

Oh yeah, I am all too familiar with that issue.

[Angelica]

Currently reading Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini

[Sasha]

Uh...so why do we have nipples?

[Angelica]

We're all conceived as females.

Just ordered it

[Sasha]

Great, so I'm not a man so much as a woman gone wrong. :P

Just finished Roman Life: 100 B.C. to A.D. 200 - very interesting.

[Carol]

I am reading The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins. What a fun book to read.

[Morgan P]

I'm reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan.

[Kaos]

I'm reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I enjoyed both Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code so I hope to enjoy this book as well.

I enjoyed the Lost Symbol up till it got to the end and that spoilt it for me big time. Obviously I can't tell you why,because that would spoil the book for you. I hope that you will not find fault with the ending the same as I did.

Hi Susanna I recommend a couple of good Roman books there is a biography of Marcus Aurelius and Augustan the first emperor that give a very vivid picture of Roman life.

It gets worse Alex the Y gene that makes us male is on the way out and us men will one day be a thing of the past like Dodos !!!!

[Jason]

Started reading everywhere and everywhen and its very challenging but I think worth the effort. It deals with philosophy and physics and makes an interaction between the two subjects. The sums as always leave me scratching my head in the dust, but the rest of it I am following pretty closely.

[Kehinde]

i am knee deep in gone with the wind. was having a hard time with Madame Bovary but i think i've finally reached my comfy sopt in the book. here's hoping.

[Petra]

I finished Cujo last week. Bleh! I only rated it a 1*. I also finished Portrait of a Killer: Jack The Ripper - Case Closed, which was interesting (what book about Jack The Ripper wouldn't be?!)....however, I disagree with the author in her statement of "case closed". I don't think she proved her points at all. Too many "maybe", "perhaps", "it might have been that", etc. to sound solid and unshakeable.

I'm still reading Dracula as a bed-time book. It's so gothic and dark. Loving it so far.
Today I started The Eyre Affair. Not far enough along for an opinion yet.

OOOOOOHH Morgan, the Secret History was a great book! I hope you enjoy it!

[Vicki]

I finished Saving CeeCee Honeycutt last night and have started The Things That Keep Us Here.

[Paula]

M,

I really liked Neil Gaiman's "The Graveyard Book". I got a little bored in the middle but by the time I finished, I was very glad I did. I recommended it to one of my 4th grade students and she loved it!

[Rosabelle]

I just finished reading Lightning by Dean Koontz.

I am enjoying it! It definitely keeps your attention, and I am only a little past half way.

[Kaion]

Finished The Lazarus Project. Don't know how I feel about it yet. It seemed like Hemon had some good ideas but didn't really know where to go with them- so instead filled in stuff from his own life? End result is very ambivalent and all over the place.

[Marc]

I started Candleland by Martyn Waites at 4.45a.m!

[Marti]

I am starting to read Shanghai Girls: A Novel and it has started off catching my attention...

[Inna]

I'm reading The Bell by Iris Murdoch

[Angelica]

Nineteen Eighty-Four

[Paula]

I am reading "The Girl Who Chased the Moon" Sarah Addison Allen. It's moving pretty quickly so far.

[Patricia]

Linda, I liked Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, especially the end. I did like The Help better though. I'm almost done with Look Again, this is my first book by her and can't wait to read more.

I don't know if you have a Kindle. But a few weeks back-I bought all the books in the series for like $29

Just about everyone I know who has read the book liked it. I didn't really care for it.

[Allison]

I'm currently reading Her Fearful Symmetry and really enjoying it. I just wish I had more time to read it, not only to finish it, but to move onto the stack of other books I have.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Ok, I dont often gush about novels (well, ok, I have in the past right? Blindness and The Road, and anything written by Verne) but I just finished one of the most amazing novels!!

Banned for Life completely took me by surprise. I purposely read it slow and devoured every single word. And I think you should too.

The book description does nothing for the book. It shields its awesomeness. It barely scrapes the surface of what those pages contain.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you do not pick it up right away.
