Ha, I did a double-take on that. That's not how you spell pray :p Clever...

[Kristi]

That title has caused more than one laugh. Especially as I got the other book (Eat, Pray, Love) thinking it was the group read, and then realized I had gotten the wrong one. LOL.

No, it's how you spell prey as in what you chase and eat.
It's a paranormal, shapeshifter book that's playing off of another book's popularity I think.

I struggled through it too. Thank goodness it's such a small book.

[Madeline]

I've started Brideshead Revisited and so far it's keeping my interest but I wouldn't say I love it. We'll see how it goes.

[Chamie]

ARMISTEAD MAUPIN!!! I LOVE HIM!! I'm reading the Tales of the city series--"Significant Others" everyone has to read at least one Maupin book you will be hooked on phonics..lol

[Meghan]

Everyone needs to stop suggesting such great reads. sigh. Or at least make the threads not so addicting so I can be reading instead of here! heh

[Lora]

Just finished El oro del rey. Still working on The Town in Black, The Magician and The Radetzky March, and on Sunday I started Me Cheeta: My Story.

[Marcin]

I just finished Metro 2033 and yesterday i've started reading Eye of Cat by Roger Zelazny.

Actually, I still have books that were sent to me from back in April (hangs head in shame). I am reading them according to request first - then by release date if possible. So Bruno, since it doesnt release until Feb2o11 I decided to push off a bit.

I keep looking at it and wanting to pick it up .... maybe I will cave :)

CoMC is a great book! I am glad to hear you are enjoying it!

I didn't care for it either. I think I skimmed the last part of it.

[Sasha]

I finished The Aztecs today (a textbook, but a good one) and started Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, which I've been really looking forward to. It'll be nice to read an actual novel. Feels like it's been a while.

[Carol]

Alex have you readThe Guns of August?

[Sasha]

I have not, Kitty; I'm working my way chronologically through history, and I'm still around 300 years short of WWI. :) Good?

[Sasha]

Gotcha, Catie. It's on the list. Might not happen immediately immediately, but it'll happen soon after O&C.

I have just been reunited with my copy of
The Children's Book, however I am 3/4 of the way through Peony in Love so I will have to finish that first. I'm anxious to get going though so I can join the discussion in the spoiler thread!

I don't know it is on my to-be-read-list. I was thinking of next year sometime, to try and get to it.

We'll be waiting for you in the Spoilers thread.
I've got Peony In Love on my bookshelf, too. I enjoyed the 2 Lisa See books I've read.

I loved Snow Flower and the Secret Fan but really didn't like Peony in Love. The 'starving ghosts' just didn't do it for me. I wonder which one Shanghai Girls is more like (if any)?

[Claire]

I finally finished Dracula by Bram Stoker and I REALLY liked it. I thought the last 50-75 pages drug on a bit but overall it was a great novel. Not sure whats up next but I'll see what is calling out to me from my bookshelf.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Finished A Cake Appeared by Shane Jones today. and started A Tale Dark and Grimm.

[Susanna]

Finished Dexter. It was actually better than I expected. Next, on with the re-reading: I'll be starting Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire .

[southpaw285]

I'm currently in the middle of Juliet by Anne Fortier.

[BirdiesBookshelves]

There are so many great recommendations in this feed. I LOVE it!!! I am currently reading "It's Kind of a Funny Story." I am really enjoying it so far.

[Sasha]

Was that Dexter of the Showtime Dexter series, Susanna? My wife likes those books.

The movie was really good. I finished Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King. Now I'm trying to finish The Wolfman by Jonathan Maberry.

[Alisha Marie]

I finished Mystic River and while I thought it was good, it's not my favorite of the three Lehane novels I've read. Now I'm starting The Gates by John Connolly. I have high hopes for this one as I adored The Book of Lost Things. We'll see if this one is as good as that one.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Alisha, The Gates is not quite as good as The Book of Lost Things, but then again, it's totally different, and absolutely totally enjoyable!

[Claire]

I'm starting Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult.

[Rachel]

Good book Claire but also like watching a realistic car crash.

[Ann from S.C.]

Just finished ROOM by Emma Donoghue and gave it 4 stars. Now am reading SIZZLING SIXTEEN by Janet Evanovich.

[Mafi]

I'm reading Swapping Loves by jane Green

Me too! I agree about the last 50-75 pages but overall I really liked it as well.

[Jane]

To anyone out there: What book is the Book of Eli based on? Was it an original screen play?

[Susanna]

Alex wrote: "Was that Dexter of the Showtime Dexter series, Susanna? My wife likes those books."

Yep, the latest addition to that series. I've only watched the first season of the TV show but I liked what I saw and I've been meaning to watch more. It just seems the books get to me sooner than the show, heh.

[Sasha]

Jane, haven't seen the movie, sorry.

Susanna, we watch the show; Kirsten tells me it deviates considerably from the book. The show goes downhill after the first season in my opinion, but it's still okay.

[Flávia Carvalho]

I am reading "Firewall", from Henning Mankel.
Anybody ever read one of this Wallander mysteries novels?

[Patricia]

I finished Still Alice by Lisa Genova this morning. It was a powerful read. . . especially if you know someone who's suffered from Alzheimer's! I'd recommend it Laura but keep tissues handy just in case.

I'm going to move on to The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B. by Sandra Gulland tonight. A coworker recommended this trilogy to me years ago and I'm finally getting to it.

Excellent.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Currently reading, among other things, Bart Ehrman's Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible & Why We Don't Know About Them.

[Lindz]

I am still reading 'vanity fair'. I feel like I am just finding my feet with the novel. Thackeray's tapestry is defently rich and vibrant.

[sheila]

I just started reading "The Gargoyle" by Andrew Davidson. This book has been on my bookshelf, its a really good book so far.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

Wow! Just finished Never Let Me Go...I have NO idea what to read after this!

[Sasha]

Did you like it, Jamie? I thought it was pretty great.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

Alex wrote: "Did you like it, Jamie? I thought it was pretty great."

I absolutely LOVED it! So happy I finally read it. Did you see the movie?

[Sasha]

Also: I suggest The Professor and the Madman. I did a compare on us to find books on your to-read list that I could recommend; I haven't read this either, but I'm dying to.

[Sasha]

And woops, we were writing at the same time...no, I haven't seen the movie. I'm leery of it because I don't feel like the book will translate all that well to film. Have you seen it?

Alex wrote: "Also: I suggest The Professor and the Madman. I did a compare on us to find books on your to-read list that I could recommend; I haven't read this either, but I'm dying to."

I've heard good things about that book! And no, I haven't watched it either. I'm scared too but ultimately will probably end up doing so.
