[Mafi]

I'm reading by Scott Westerfeld

I just finished that book and thought it was amazing!!"

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]

Newbie here. I'm just about finished with and am about 1/3 done with which is really a lovely book.

I am reading The Revenge of the Radioactive Lady by Elizabeth Stuckey-French.

[Colene]

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.

[Linda]

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

[Maria]

I think the Black Dahlia was also made into a movie. I remember it lightly. Am I right?

[Heather L]

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.

[Paula]

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 by Jill Mansell

[Brenda]

I started reading for my upcoming bookdisicussion group: Saving Ceecee Honeycutt

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

[Anita]

I just finished The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove: A Novel, and I'm reading Left Neglected, it's so very good!! I'm listening to The Weird Sistersequally fascinating.

[Rachel]

I'm currently reading The Good Earth.

[Patricia]

I finished Falling Man by Don DeLillo and next will read Man, Woman, and Child by Erich Segal.

[Venuskitten]

I am reading The Memory of Love by Aminatta Forna. (I have read about one third of the book.). It is very well written, intelligent and cleverly constructed. From what I have read so far, it deserves it's Orange prize nomination. It is one of those rarecbooks that you do not want to end.

[Blaine]

I have started "The Sojourn" by Andrew Krivak. Is a tremendous novel about a young man who is born in America and ends up, due to a series of tragic events, back in Hungary which in turn takes him into World War 1.

The writing it tremendous the story has really kept me interested, and the book is only about 190 pages long, and as leader of a Book Club I think it is one our group will do next season.

[Blaine]

Have finished in the past week Nabuib Mahfouz's book "Miramar." What a great read. This gentleman won the Nobel Prize for literature and this is the first of his books that I have read. Set in Alexandria, Egypt this is a story told through the perspective of 4 different renters at a pension (boarding hotel). Very much symbolic of what was happening in Egypt in the later 1960's, and really gave a great perspective of all different influences that were pushing and pulling on the Egyptian government and society at that time, Only about 170 pages in length, the book is very easy to read, and the author uses Italics when describing a characters thoughts or background.

[Alex]

I've gone all historical! Have two books on the go, a non-fiction and a fiction.

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber
Remember, Remember (The Fifth of November): The History of Britain in Bite-Sized Chunks by Judy Parkinson

Both are good reads so far!

[Jennifer]

I read the Segal years ago and liked it-- it's also inexplicably really stuck with me, for no discernible reason.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Abhay]

Currently I am reading Pet Semetary by Stephen King

[Susan]

I'm reading Midnight Caller by Leslie Tentler and it is very very good!!

[Brenda]

Still working on Saving Ceecee Honeycutt, and started yesterday The Dry Grass of August because a friend really enjoyed it and gave me her copy to read. I am enjoying both books.

[Jessica]

Just started reading These Things Hidden and I'm already hooked. Probably finish it in the next few days :)

[Lianne]

I am currently reading George R.R. Martin's A Feast for Crows (at long last; am finally catching up with the series) and Anton Chekhov's A Journey to the End of the Russian Empire (was in the mood for a travelogue)

[Paula]

I'm just starting "Shoot to Thrill" P J Tracy.

[Patricia]

I finished Man, Woman, and Child by Erich Segal. It was a quick read. . . a touching story. Now I'm going to move on to Outlander by Diana Gabaldon.

Hope you enjoy Outlander- it is one of my favorites! :)

[Flora]

I finished The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and thought it was really good.

I'm almost half way thru The Wise Man's Fear and I've just started In The Forests of Serre

I don't usually respond to comments, but I read this book awhile back and was really struck by the author's conflicted back and forth about the subject. I didn't get the sense that she was really enthusiastic about this family and at times was struggling with completing the project altogether. This would have made a better medical journal article than a book.

[Karen M]

I'm more than halfs ways through Cold Mountain and just started Poisoned Pins. Somehow I've never read Joan Hess but I know the name, strange.

[Claire]

I just finished Catching Fire and liked it but didn't think it was quite as good as The Hunger Games. Next up is Mockingjay and Jane Eyre.

[Petra]

Karen, if you like Cold Mountain, you may also like Gap Creek.

I've started A Dirty Job. So far it's funny with a crazy storyline.

[Gitte]

I just finished The Vampire Lestat and now I'm reading The Uncommon Reader.

[Susan]

I just started Where She Went by Gayle Forman and it hooked me right from page one!

A Dirty Job is crazy all the way through :D

[Scott]

I just finished Mockingjay. I thought this was a good series especially for younger readers. I'm sure I'll have my kids read it when they get a little older.

Now I'm going to start American Gods.

[Lianne]

I started reading Christopher Hibbert's The Borgias and Their Enemies: 1431-1519, prompted by the series that's airing on Showtime at the moment. It's an interesting read, especially as I don't know much about the Borgias save for the bare basics (it was all about the Medicis for me) xD

[Aidan]

No, I am not currently reading The Town but am reading Bill Bryson's "A Walk in The Woods." Its seriously funny I suggest you try it out.

I think it would make a good discussion for an ethics class.

[Carla]

I am reading The Art of War by Sun Twu and The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.

I very much liked this one also Chantelle.

[Brenda]

I finished up Saving Ceecee Honeycutt, I am starting The Proper Care and Maintenance of Friendship because my name came up on the list at the library. My son and I are reading Framed.

[Mafi]

I'm reading by Sherrilyn Kenyon

[Nicole | The Readerly Report]

I am reading 22 Britannia Road, and really liking it so far. I love historical fiction.
