I'm really looking forward to that one!

[Tess]

As I Lay Dying by Faulkner

[Krista]

Tess, I remember reading that in high school. It was one very bizarre read. But, then again, I imagine just about anything by Faulkner is a bit "off."

:o)

I read your review and I remember seeing on M.'s blog that he wrote about that question you have :) Here is a link:

The other books I read of his are The Muse of Edouard Manet and Felinian. Feel free to read my reviews! :) I really loved them both!

Just finished 1Q84 books 1 and 2 and got book 3 to start.It is an amazing book I loved it, hoping 3 wont let me down. Also reading Port Mortuary by Patricia Cornwell.

[Gary]

Read Port Mortuary this past summer. It was on par with the more recent books written by Patricia Cornwell but not as good in my opinion as her older books.

[Renee]

Just finished Halfway To The Grave by Jeaniene Frost and it was very good. I stayed up to 2:00am finishing it. I'm getting ready to start Curel Sacrifice by Aphrodite Jones. This has been on my TBR pile for way to long. For one of my New Year's resolution I'm going to try and get some of my older books off of my mountainous TBR pile.

I agree with you that the later books just arent as good. It seems as though she is just churning them out for xmas sales but i still love them and think she is a great writer.

[LilaBird]

Giving An Echo in the Bone another shot. Keep putting it down because of all the William/Civil War stuff.......much dryer than the Jamie/Claire stuff. If I can just get through this section....

I read this one earlier this year. This was my second attempt and I have to admit that the first time it was my own fault for not finishing it. I wasn't in the mood to read but a co-worker had loaned me the book and I tried to force myself to read it. I ended up returning the book but he insisted I keep it and read it when it was the right time. I'm so glad he did. Two years later I really enjoyed this book.

[Tess]

I couldn't make it through The Sound and The Fury, so I hope this is better. . My 25 year old daughter is reading it also and then we are going to discuss

[Michael]

I just finished ., it was not very consistent, so it was disappointing.

I am about to begin .

[Heather L]

Finished reading The Winter Widow by Charlene Weir and have started The Christmas Thief by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark.

[Asad]

i am currently reading The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society. It's very interesting & really fascinating me about the old time when letters were the main source of communication.

[tiasreads]

I'm reading A Monstrous Regiment of Women. The Mary Russell series is fun, but I'm having trouble getting through this one. I think I've just been reading a little too much lately and it's me, not the book.

[Jennifer]

Just finished Swan Peak . Good book but a weirdness-- in every single other book with this protagonist he's mentioned his family-- his first wife, his second wife, and his daughter all figure prominently, if only in memory in some cases. He doesn't mention them at all, not even once, in this book. Now-- I'm about five books behind in this series (and this is the sixth book I was behind so yeah, I read it way out of order) but I'm now dying to get caught up to see what could so completely have changed!

[Flora]

Getting ready to start Amaranth & Ash and also Book of Prophecies

[Tess]

I loved that book

[Jeanette]

Reading for the second time:

[Gitte]

I'm listening to Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and I'm reading From Dead to Worse - the #8 Sookie Stackhouse novel.

[Karen M]

Still reading In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin and have added One Imperfect Christmas.

[Jane]

Gitte - loved Neverwhere - so dark and creepy but his character was just like some people I've known.

[Yuliya]

Listening to Burn by Ted Dekker and reading byDaphne du Maurier. Also listening to CD in car with daughter byRick Riordan

[tiasreads]

Finally finished A Monstrous Regiment of Women. Such a good book to be so hard to get through! I'm going to take a reading break for a few days, then start Madame Tussaud: A Novel of the French Revolution- been looking forward to that one since it came out.

[Jeane]

Started Imperium and hoping it will be as good as his others!

[Carly]

The House of the Spirits - Allende

Reading it for Book Talk - it's superb! Also following the movie, part by part on You Tube.

Also The Homecoming of Samuel Lake

[Michael]

I just finished , it was an satisfactory novel.

I am about to begin .

[Barbara]

I just finished this book.
I will first like to give a review by my ten year old grand daughter followed by mine.
Danielle: I liked the book and it was filled with learning lesons on how people are afraid of animals and the animals have the same sense of fear towards them. The Gorilla had a magical cane that could be used against humans if they posed a threat.They enjoyed going to the party and to a festival and they played many games with the children and the parents because the people thought that they were dressed up in costumes. Based on my reading, at one to ten I give the book a seven or an eight.

Barbara: I thought that the book was great. The thought of seeing a gorilla driving a car and the many games that they played with the parents and children was interesting. The cane could only be used towards humans only if the humans was a threat towards them, that is why they were taken back to the zoo. Truly a great read.

[Arda]

I just finished and reviewed The Violin Maker: Finding a Centuries-Old Tradition in a Brooklyn Workshop.
Right now I'm reading The Cello Suites. As you can see my book choice is influenced greatly by my recent adventures with the cello. I started taking classes (at age 27) 3 months ago (and loving it so far) :)

[Gary]

I'm reading by Chris Bohjalian

[Karen M]

Finally finished In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin just in time to return to digital library today. Will be starting The Christmas Dog today and still reading the very depressing One Imperfect Christmas.

[Albert]

I just picked up The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco. I've read Foucalt's Pendulum and The Name of The Rose by Eco and loved them so I'm really looking forward to this one.

[Flora]

I just finished Amaranth & Ash which I loved.

Currently I'm re-reading A Christmas Carol, my favorite christmas story. I've also just started Dreamsayer

[Emma]

Just began The Winter Rose . The second in a series, it picks up almost right where the Tea Rose left off. It is a monster of a book though, so will probably be my last of the year since the holidays find me baking more than reading. Hoping to squeeze in a little holiday book at some point, too, but I am not holding my breath :)

[Michael]

I am enjoying The Grief of Others, I am on part three, I love how every secret is starting to unfold.

I just finished this book and I am about to begin .

[Cassie]

I just finished The Alchemist. It was a really good book and one that was very inspirational. Very glad I finally read it after several years of it being recommended to me. Now I am moving onto a more fun read for me with Infinite Crisis: The Novel. Welp, decided to change my mind. I am not reading the Infinite Crisis book I am actually reading Tales of the City

[Karen M]

Finished the very cute The Christmas Dog and started two more by the same author:

Christmas at Harrington's
An Irish Christmas

These are all Christian but in a more subtle way, enjoying reading this author.

I just finished this book and I am about to begin , it was an outstanding book.

I am about to begin The Hidden Millionaire

[Ami]

I'm on the second book in Lili St. Crow's series; . Its good but not as good as Richelle Mead's in my opinion but I do have three and a half more books to go. Perhaps I should hold off on making a decision on which series I like better until after I've finished all the books.

[Emilly R]

i am currently ready " GIRL WITH THE PEARL EARRING" BY TRACY CHEVALIER

[Can]

I'm reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. I'm really enjoying it so far. I would recommend it for not only people who like science fiction, but for people who enjoy books with big ideas and questions about life.

[Karen M]

Will be starting Friendship Bread today.

[Celeste]

I'm finishing up One Amazing Thing for my book club. Very much enjoying it. Next will be, Rasputin's Daughter, I think. The man has alway interested me.

[Paula]

I'm reading Dance of Death and hoping to finish it off before the end of the year.

[Maria]

It's been ages since I've checked this thread!

I am currently reading Napoleon's Pyramids from William Dietrich. I am about 3 chapters in right now, and so far I'm enjoying it. This is my first attempt at reading an ebook, my hubby got me an iPad for Christmas, so I'm testing the waters here. I didn't have a great reading year in 2011, a lot of the books I read we're duds, so I'm hoping 2012 will be better when incomes to my reading choices.

Happy Holidays everyone!

[Michael]

I just finished The Hidden Millionaire, I thought it was a good book but it had a big misconception.

I am about to begin
Outliers: The Story of Success.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hey guys... I just finished reading Baby Geisha, which releases through Two Dollar Radio in January...

and started Panic Attack, USA a few hours ago. I am in love with this book. The poems are outrageous and snarky and the writing comes together so perfectly at times. This is my first go at reviewing Yes Yes Books Publishing, and it's definitely a winner!

By the way.. as you read really great books, feel free to give them a shout out on Twitter using the #nextbestbook hashtag. I'm trying to extend our TNBBC-ness out into the world.. and what better way to do so than by sharing our love of really great books?

Outliers: The Story of Success,was a complete utter failure. why this book was hyped is beyond me, it was pathetic!

I am about to begin The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth am I Here for?.
