I have decided to put off reading The White Tiger for the moment and started reading Franny and Zooey and the much TNBBC recommended I Capture the Castle instead.

[Carol]

hmmmm could it be Fiona?

[Marti]

I am starting to read the next JD Robb book in PB Kindred in Death! Oh the angst of Eve and the HOT HOT husband Roark!! Never boring!!!

You just went up a notch for liking She-ra. I may or may not own the entire He-man and She-ra series on DVD...

No, I just bought it on Amazon. You should definitely read it, it's wonderful!

[Sasha]

Oh, Jayme, High five. Not that I own it on DVD, that's a little weird.

[Jayme]

You're just jealous, Alex.

[Sasha]

A little.

[Liz]

Vicky, yes, it is quite the combination. I try to balance fun books with books for class.

I LOVED it and could not put it down. If anyone is reading this post and planning on reading The Hunger Games soon, clear your schedule for that weekend. For serious.

[Ethan]

I'm currently in the middle of The Penelopiad: The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus by Margaret Atwood. So far so good. If I end up loving it, I'll check out the rest in the Canongate Myths series.

I just found out when I looked it up on Amazon - was interested in it for myself...no luck.

[Victoria]

Definitely agree on hunger games just spent my morning finishing it off and know they gave the next one in the library.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Finished A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World, by Tony Horwitz, last night. Very good, and sometimes very funny indeed.

[Sasha]

I dug that book, Susanna. Also dug Horwitz's Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before.

[Paula]

I just finished reading "Taken from Home" Eric Francis, a true crime that happened here in Colorado a few years back.

Also finished the audio of "Battle in the Labyrinth" Rick Riordan. Can't wait to get the last one!

Now reading "One Pink Rose" Julie Garwood.

[Sasha]

How'd you end up liking First Man in Rome? I've heard wildly different opinions.

My wife's a pescetarian too, btw.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I really liked First Man in Rome. I like the whole series, actually.

[C.]

I finished The Battle of the Labyrinth and am now reading The Last Olympian by Percy Jackson. I'm so happy I bought this book Friday night. :)

[Bhumi]

I love the Percy Jackson series, Cheri. Enjoy!

Great book, fiercely Indian but amusing and insightful.

Just started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson last night. Not sure how easy this is to get into as I was doped up to my eyeballs with Advil PM.

[Joseph]

I just finished World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks and have started Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell

[Jenna]

Finished The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. I had to pry it out of my 4th grade student's hands and force him to finish it so I could read it. :)

Great book, great series. Love it.
Now on to The Girl Who Played with Fire.

[Sasha]

Cool, Fiona and Susanna. I've been leary of those books for some reason, but I know they're historically sound and a lot of people love them, so I should really get over it.

Joseph, how'd you like World War Z? I thought it was silly but surprisingly fun.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading A.S. Byatt's Possession (at long last). It's pretty interesting so far, I wish I didn't have this assignment due this week so that I could just sit and read it, lol.

[Katie]

Stay with it, as it gets more interesting as it goes. The 2d book, The Girl Who Played with Fire is even better. The 3d book has already been published in Europe. However, it won't be released here in the US until 5/25/2010...looking forward to having it downloaded on my nook that day!

[F1Wild]

Cheers Katie - I won't be giving up. I know I just need to give it a bit of time. I hope to get this one & the next read before the 3rd in the trilogy is available for my Kindle. I have, just in this short time, found it pretty darn fun to hear some of the Swedish words I remember from my youth.

Oh! A good one!

I'm starting The Girl Who Fell From the Sky

I enjoyed it, was a fun read. I'll more then likely go out and pick up his other book because of it.

[Christy]

I just finished A Certain Slant of Light and thought it was okay. Now I've started Changeless by Gail Carriger. I loved her first book so I'm a little afraid my expectations will be too high, but I'm still happy it's in my hot little hands!

[Beth]

I just started reading The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa

[Joel]

[Susanna]

From The Picture Of Dorian Gray which I enjoyed to The Lost Symbol which I borrowed from a friend. I wasn't really into the first two Langdon books so why am I trying again? Because I enjoyed Digital Fortress way too much. And yes, I am a masochist.

[Carol]

Susanna you are a better woman than me. I gave up on Dan Brown after Angels and Demons and Da Vinci Code.

[Petra]

I agree, Carol.....although I did enjoy Deception Point except for the weak & lame ending.....but I'm done with Dan Brown books also.

[Susanna]

Well, I'm not sure about being better than anyone. I'm on page 27 and I almost fell asleep. I'm not a big fan of descriptions and he just goes on and on at times.

I did get through Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code but both took me months rather than weeks. I'm hoping I can at least be quick reading it.

[Bridgit]

So I finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle on Thursday and really liked it. The parallels to Hamlet were less 'in my face' than I had been led to expect, which i think made it stand on its own a bit more. I was expecting to have to really reference Hamlet and so I reread it just prior to SofES. It helped a little - I suppose it made it easier to find each character's counterpart, but it was totally not necessary. Definitely recommend it, especially to dog lovers.

and NOW i am about half-way through The Historian. Its slow going, but I am actually enjoying it - primarily the historic parts and learning about Istanbul and Budapest. Perhaps this is becuase I am currently planning a vacation to there for the late summer. Will see whether the book drops off precipitously as I continue with this tome.

[El]

Bridgit, that sounds like a neat trip. I have a friend living and teaching in Istanbul - he keeps trying to lure me out there for a visit. :)

[Edith]

I just started Everything Matters!. So far it's really good. Told from a very interesting point of view.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I think I've read half of a Dan Brown. (Angels and Demons.) And then I got bored.

Speaking of which, my cat has just informed me (somewhat petulantly) that she is bored.

[Eden]

I'm reading Ghosts Caught on Film: Photographs of the Paranormal? by Melvyn Willin.

[Maria]

i'm more than halway through Shutter Island. i haven't seen the movie yet, and i'm enjoying the book. i'm a notorious skip-ahead reader, so i've kind of figured out what's going on, but i'm sure i'll still question lots of it when i'm done.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Still reading The Book by M Clifford. Im only about 20 pages from the end. I don't want it to end, but can't wait to see how it ends at the same time!!

It's a scary look into the future of eBooks and introduces us to a world where books are illegal, and hard to come by. The Publishing Company issued everyone an eBook called The Book - that they completely control - where you can download books for free, but are you reading the original text? Or an updated/adapted version? Are things what they seem?

I love it!!!

[Marti]

ohhh Lori - that sounds so realistic... I can so believe the premise - just like I can believe the premise of The Handmaiden's Tale.

[Sydney]

Just finished High Fidelity by Nick Hornby , now on to The Hottest State: A Novel by Ethan Hawke.

[Carol]

just finished The Little Stranger-Sarah Waters

What a deliciously scary read

Those are two really great books! The Hottest State was a favorite of mine when it first came out. It's one of the only books that I re-read more than once!!!

[Jayme]

Since when does Ethan Hawke write books? And they're good?! Where have I been?

[Mel]

Finished A Certain Chemistry: A Novel. A disappointment in comparison to his other two books. I really didn't like the "god" aspect, found the main character had crossed the fine line from Millington's usually somewhat endearing portrait of the clueless, hapless male to just plain annoying. As usual his humourous asides were spot on and produced a few chuckles but over all a thumbs down for the book.

I'm now moving on to Horns which I can't wait to read since I enjoyed Heart-Shaped Box so much.
