After season one, the series departs almost completely from the books. The main character is in keeping with the book, as is his sister, but after that, its pretty much all new stuff. But the season with John Lithgow is fantastic.

It took me a while also Maria but once I got into it, I did enjoy the story. It still seems like the longest book I ever read, but the story was good. : )

message 24607: by Beth (new)

Beth I'm reading Deborah Coonts's Wanna Get Lucky? and I'm finding it to be a lot of fun. I needed a light read after Emma Donoghue's Room and before delving into the second book of the GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO trilogy: The Girl Who Played with Fire

I thought the stories were entertaining. A nice glimpse into Indian culture within the US however not always very uplifting storylines. Enjoy!

Maria Aenlle | 9 comments I just finished reading "Somthing Blue". At first I did not like it but as Darcy's character became more mature, I started enjoying more the book. I kept reading because I wanted to see what happened at the end. I just saw an ad on TV for a new movie being released in May --"Something Borrowed".

message 24617: by Alex (new)

Alex I'm about halfway through Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, and am hoping to get through The White Queen by Philippa Gregory too. Not off to a great start as I'm not getting on with the voice very well but I love a bit of historical romance based around the monarchy so will keep on trucking with it.


message 24618: by Jeane (new)

Jeane (icegini) | 4891 comments I seem to really like Philippa Gregory's books but ouch I had to drag me through Alice's adventures. I took me such a long time and I really didn't like it.


message 24619: by Paula (new)

Paula | 1098 comments I'm reading "The #1 Ladies Detective Agency" Alexander McCall Smith. I started it about a week or so ago and couldn't get into it but I think I was in a slump. I tried again and am now enjoying it. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency, #1) by Alexander McCall Smith

What did you think of A Game of Thrones? It's one of my all time favorites!! Did you catch the HBO's premiere of A Game of Thrones? Did you like it?


message 24624: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I started City of Fallen Angels yestarday and don't like alot being finished with it. Its been really good so far just a little too much teen drama for my taste.


message 24625: by Maria (new)

Maria Aenlle | 9 comments I sdded another book to my list of "to read", Learning to Die in Miami.


message 24626: by Wendy Fee (new)

Wendy Fee I'm currently reading Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore. My husband has been trying to convince me for years to read this book (or any other by Mr. Moore!).


message 24627: by John (new)

John Herrick (johnherrick) I'm reading Noble House by James Clavell. It's the first Clavell book I've tried, and I'm addicted. People say Shogun is even better.


message 24628: by Dana * (new)

Dana * (queenofegypt) I am reading The Night Season (Gretchen Lowell, #4). I enjoyed the first two quite a bit, the third in the series less so, but let us see what is next for poor Archie.


message 24629: by Flora (new)

Flora Smith (bookwormflo) I finished City of Fallen Angels and when it was all said and done I was pretty disappointed. Too much teen love life drama and not enough cohesive storyline.


message 24631: by Scott (new)

Scott | 257 comments I just finished Death Mask and will start Mockingjay later today.

I couldn't finish The Book Thief. I think it was just time constraints so I'm planning on trying again at some point.

Karen M | 1956 comments Newbie here. I'm just about finished with Not That Kind of Place by Frances Fyfield and am about 1/3 done with Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier which is really a lovely book.


message 24639: by [deleted user] (new)


message 24640: by Colene (new)

Colene Hardy (colenehardy) I'm reading The Black Dahlia for my book club. Not a huge fan - it never takes me this long to read a book. Maybe it's just because it's not something I would normally gravitate to, or maybe it's just not that good? I don't know.

I'm also listening to Edgar Sawtelle (long drives to work); so far, so good. I really love some of his word choices. He uses paradox well.


message 24641: by Linda (new)

Linda | 887 comments Started Zeitoun by Dave Eggers yesterday and am finding it fascinating. Have never read anything by Dave Eggers before, but am finding his style easily engaging.


message 24642: by Maria (new)

Maria Aenlle | 9 comments I think the Black Dahlia was also made into a movie. I remember it lightly. Am I right?


message 24643: by Heather L (new)

Heather L  (wordtrix) Am (finally) starting Water for Elephants. I have been meaning to read this one for well over a year now. Figured now was as good a time as any, seeing as the movie hits theaters this weekend.


message 24644: by Paula (new)

Paula | 1098 comments I'm looking forward to seeing "Water for Elephants" the movie. I think it's been long enough ago that I read the book that I won't be comparing it too much. : )

Mafi I'm reading Nadia Knows Best by Jill Mansell by Jill Mansell

Practical Demonkeeping is next on the Moore list.

I loved this book! It was one of my favorites from last summer.
