Sense and Sensibility

[Suzanne]

Petra, I agree with you re; 'Stiff'!!! Have you read any of her other books??

[Jeane]

Finished Sense and Sensibility, still reading INdia after Gandhi but starting tomorrow with Eat, Pray, Love. Curious and looking forward to it.

[Jason]

Currently reading Russia and the Arabs about Russian foreign policy towards the middle east from the early seventies to the collapse of the Soviet Union. I know might seem a little odd ! but then its me thats reading it so enough said on that one !

[Vonney]

Finished "The Wet Nurse's Tale" and loved it. Will review as soon as I've had some sleep. Read a short ghost story by Rudyard Kipling on my cellphone while waiting for the FedEx plane (part of my work). Now, I am reading "Kristin Lavransdatter" by Sigrid Undset, and I find it charming so far. Love the author's descriptions of the landscape. 1,000 pages overwhelmed me, but I will devour one-page-at-a-time until I arrive at the end. I know two people who say it is their most favorite book ever. I'll let you know.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Just finished The People Who Watched Her Pass By - strange sad tale of a little girl who was kidnapped and ends up wandering the world.

4 star book that I will review night after work!

[Ann from S.C.]

Just finished THINK TWICE by Lisa Scottoline and gave it 3 stars.

I would highly recommend the audio version. It was great to hear the voices of the characters.

[Petra]

I finished Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers tonight. I found it really interesting and informative. The author treated the subject with dignity and respect. She threw in some humour but never at the expense of the Dead.

Alex wrote: "That looks cool, Linda! Is it based on a real story, or is it more an imagined story based on real events?

Dana, Maze Runner sounds like fun too. Your description reminds me of the movie Cube. :)"

Alex: I think the details are real. The individual has real experiences, but is not real.

[Linda]

Just finished and give it a 4.3. Excellent read.

[Gillian]

I am currently reading Freedom and I am really enjoying it.

[Lahni]

I'm about half way through The Help and I'm LOVING it.

I loved that book, Lahni. I had a hard time putting it down. It went everywhere with me for a few days!

[Jane]

I just finished The Lady Matador's Hotel by Cristina Garcis and then I'd Know You Anywhere by Laura Lippman - both were wonderful. Just started The Forgotton Garden by Kate Morton. I'm 48 pages in and hooked ---

[Marti]

I am reading A Hellion in Her Bed. A little brain candy to go along with my newly sprained ankle and funeral tomorrow

[Leslie T.]

I just finished The Killer Inside Me. It was really good, but I have no idea what happened at the end of the book.

Now I'm starting Casino Royale. I'm interested in seeing which actor most fits the description of James Bond.

[Steph]

Still in the middle of three books. Oryx and Crake which is great and moving faster for me than the others. I think I just haven't gotten to the heart of Rebecca yet and haven't devoted enough time to it. But i'm really stuck with Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage: Stories though and just can't seem to get through it like the other book I read of hers (Alice Munro) called Too Much Happiness: Stories which is disappointing. I'm considering putting it into the "to be continued" pile because I just can't get into it right now.

[Carol]

David Niven star in the 1967 version of Casino Royale. He was sexy and so believable as James Bond .

[Tracy]

Just finished reading Let the Right the Right In and started The Promised Land by Mary Antin. I am reading the Barnes and Noble version for the Nook for 99 cents :o) The book is an autobiography of Mary's Life which began in the Pale of Settlement in Russia and her later years in America.

I cannot wait to read these books. This is one of my dream jobs LOL

I am a little over half way through Still Alice and I love it.

[Maria]

i finished A.D. Scott's A Small Death in the Great Glen last night, and i enjoyed it. turns out it's the first of a new series, so hopefully the things i thought were lacking or odd improve as the series goes on.

i picked up a few at the library tonight, not sure what i'll start next, or when. i leave for my trip on friday, so i'm not sure if i should start a plane book before i leave or wait until i'm actually on the plane to start one of them. decisions decisions!

[Lillie]

Am in the middle of reading The Iron Duke. So far, it's okay. I kind of feel like I've read this story line before even though this is a new book. Hoping it becomes more interesting as I get further into the story.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Did I mention that I finished The People Who Watched Her Pass By and loved it?!?! Click on that link to read my review. 4 stars - a quick engaging read.

Moved on to Termite Parade which looks and sounds gross, right? But it's actually a pretty awesome read. I am just over 1/2 way and I swear, it's like taking every bad dating experience you have ever had and jumbling them all together....

[Chantawn]

I read that book as well. I couldn't put it down. It was great for a first time author.

[Ann from S.C.]

I just finished THRID DEGREE by Greg Iles and it was good. 4 stars

My problem with Niven's Casino Royale is the fact it is a parody.
I collected Bond books when I was a teen and thought that Timothy Dalton was closest to Fleming's Bond.
I've also heard that they tried to get closer to the books with On Your Majesty's Secret Service but as it was one of the least successful Bond films they gave up on that idea.

[Bridgit]

Am in the middle of reading The Last Explorer: Hubert Wilkins, Hero of the Great Age of Polar Exploration which is the story of Hubert Wilkins and how he is the first explorer of the modern age. He was the first to fully explore the poles via plane. So far, reading about his adventures in ANZAC in WWI as their official photographer.

Really great so far. Glad I picked it up.

[Brenda]

Yesterday I finished the amazing book:Christmas with Tucker. I want everyone to read this true-to-life story. It reallt touched my heart.

[Efe]

I just finished Eva Luna by Isabel Allende which I really enjoyed and am now reading Underland series #4 to cleanse my literary palate before jumping into Sarah's Key.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Loved Loved Loved Termite Parade - click link to see my review and the book trailer!!

Moving on to Les Plesko's Slow Lie Detector - which the author interestingly wrote in 1 and 1/2 page chapters. Hmmmm.....

I finished Maisie Dobbs last week on our cruise & can't wait for the next in the series! Read This Time Together: Laughter and Reflections last night- really cute stories. I just love Carol Burnett. Now I'm reading Pieces of My Heart: A Life. Guess I'm on an autobiography kick!

[Sasha]

Finished Michelangelo: The Artist, the Man and his Times last night; it was okay. Didn't love it.

Started The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements this morning. Fun so far, but I like everything at the beginning, so that doesn't mean anything.

[Kelly]

I just finished The Fiery Cross - shew that was a long one! I love the Outlander series, but I had to stick w/that one for about 250+ pages before it really hooked me.

Onto for a short little fun book, Plum Lovin' then Good Things I Wish You: A Novel for my book club.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Read And Only to Deceive, not a complete success (trying to do too many things, I think), and working on Coriolanus, by William Shakespeare.

[Paula]

I'm just getting into "Prior Bad Acts" Tami Hoag. Boy, it sure started out with a bang! Can't wait to get back to it.

[Maria]

i started The Solitude of Prime Numbers today at lunch. it's pretty good so far, hoping to get some reading in tonight between everything else i need to get done!

[Madeline]

Just started The Homeward Bounders, I always love Diana Wynne Jones so I'm looking forward to it. I took too much on myself this week though and now I'm sick. :( Although and excess of antibiotics this summer is probably more to blame. Bah.
