I was reading Fragile, but couldn't finish. The MC was whiney and self-absorbed. So, I'm moving on to Snow Flower and the Secret Fan.

[Al]

I had to put this someplace. I am in tears after reading a review posted today. I can't say anymore. I wonder if I'm ready for this. http://amzn.to/yZaP8V

I'm a couple of hundred pages into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, finally forced myself to read the final book. Hate seeing the series end. I'm also reading a strange little book called The Gorge, murders, cults, rattlesnakes, evil spirits, can't wait see what the heck the author comes up with next! LOL

[Paula]

I'm reading . It's been pretty good so far, the story of H. H. Holmes.

This is a GREAT book and you might want to watch the DVD when finished. Let me know what you think when finished.

Eventually if this Asian themed book was enjoyable for you I'd read Mao's Last Dancer. This is based on a true story and didn't realize it was a book until I saw the DVD. Funny thing is I found out about this movie as a coming attraction on another DVD so you never know where book suggestions might pop up from.

This debut novel is splendid storytelling. I'm loving it. There's a giveaway offer up at new york journal of books. Worth a shot, great writing:

I just finished “Snow Flower and the Secret Fan week or so ago, and I liked this book very much....

Now I'm reading


Mice by Gordon Reeceit's very scary and impressive sad, it's about girls school bulling and when you have a child in school it's really touch you felling and scared the hell of you to don't happened something like that to anybody and especially you child

[Lis]

Finished The Wise Man's Fear-- IMHO, I found it better than The Name of the Wind, for some strange reason. Maybe I wasn't as impressed by the first, or something. Either way, I still love both of them.

I'm starting Atonement, an entirely different genre.

Let us know what you think, Ann. I'm reading 77 Shadow Street as well. I think this may be my first Dean Koontz book that I've read, so I have nothing to compare it with (from his previous novels). Can anyone recommend any other good books by Koontz?

[Alex]

The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon and Death on the Installment Plan by Celine (sort of marooned in the latter and the former is for school). I began Funny Man by John Warner, too. Do I pass?

[Allison]

I'm reading One Day by David Nicholls. I'm about half way through and it's really holding my interest so far.

[Denise]

I am currently reading and I plan on reading next. I just finished and I wasn't as impressed with it as I thought I would be. I think because it has been praised all over the world I was expecting something more.

[Scott]

Finished A Dirty Job yesterday and then started Bad Moon Rising. This is the final installment of the Pine Deep Trilogy.

[Peter]

I'm reading Jane Addams' Twenty Years at Hull-House, her memoir of the first two decades of her pioneering settlement house/social service institution in Chicago. The prose is a bit dense at times (not uncommon for 1910) but the story is quite interesting. This will probably take me through this month, and right up to my annual Irish March, where I will probably read nothing but William Trevor - one of my favorite writers.

[Betsy]

Finished The Girl Who would speak for the Dead,which I found very interesting. It basically fictionalizes the growth of Spiritualism in the US. I was surprized to see its' only rated 3 and a tiny fraction more of Stars. I also finished Incredibly Loud and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (bet I switched my adjectives) which I also thought was fantastic. I thought Foer's voice fit the character of Oskar well.

[Michael]

I just finished , exceptionally written, love the characters and how consistent the story was. Highly recommended!

I am about to begin

I LOVED One Day. It is one of my favorite books. The movie is not as good, but still worth seeing. Enjoy!

[Olivia]

I'm currently reading Perfect on Paper: The (Mis)Adventures of Waverly Bryson, which is a fun, smartly written chick lit novel. And I'd like to mention my new novel, The Flower Bowl Spell. It's got urban witches, fairies, snappy dialog, rock and roll, and characters with murderous intentions. Check it out, and thank you!

Hey guys.. Been listening to Castle on audio this week. Very strange book.. and the narrator is weird.

Just started reading Under the Poppy. This sounds really good, and so far it's off to a good start. It's set in brothel during the war, there's a sort of love triangle between the two owners and a puppeteer....

It is not as good as some of his others, but it is a little creepy.

I have never read a book of his I didn't like. His Odd Thomas book series are great!

[Flora]

I finished Blood Bond today and thought that overall it was really good. I'm currently over half way thru Promises which I have loved so far. This one has been hard to put down. I've also just started Robopocalypse

[Tess]

Younger Every year for Women

[Gitte]

I just started Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller - really like it so far.

[Gary]

I'm reading by James Patterson. Now about Half way through and this is a fantastic book if you like Patterson.

[Beth]

I just finished reading Defending Jacob: A Novel . This is a excellent courtroom drama mystery. It starts slowly, drawing you in like an anaconda systematically squeezing its victim. By the time you reach the middle, you are trapped, the book stuck to your hands as the air is squeezed out of you. The story keeps changing as surprising revelations are casually dropped in your lap until you read the last two scenes with your mouth hanging open, finishing with a satisfying "Whoosh" for your last breath. Then the book lives with your for days afterward as you replay scenes in your mind. For me, that's what indicates a book deserves 5 stars. I highly recommend it!

[Karen M]

Still slowly, on purpose, reading the final Harry Potter but I am also reading a sweet little book called A King in a Court of Fools about five siblings growing up in middle class suburbia. So many things mentioned are right out of my own childhood. And today I received the email from the digital library, One Day is ready for pick up!!

[Chamie]

I'm gonna check out "Defending Jacob". I am currently reading "Dust Tracks on a Road " by Zora Neale Hurston, I am glad I took a chance on this book. It's a wonderful book.

That is what I've heard, that the Odd Thomas books are good. I'll have to check those out. I have the first one but haven't read it yet. Thanks.!

I've just started reading the third book in the Stephanie Plum series Three to Get Deadly.

Currently reading and loving it!

[tiasreads]

I just finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and was totally underwhelmed. I didn't hate it, it was just kind of... meh. I also read Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half with America's Cheapest Family: Includes So Many Innovative Strategies You Won't Have to Cut Coupons, which was extremely informative. Not sure what I'll read next.

[Patty]

I'm currently reading "1000 autumns of Jacob de Zoet" and "Macbeth". I'm halfway through the first one, and I can't decide whether I like it or not... As to the second, I wish I could just close my eyes to all the blood!

[Chantelle]

I'm reading Bengali Girls Don't and still plugging through Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything.

I'm doing two read-alouds with my students:
Milkweed, which I love, love, love and
Okay for Now, which I have also discovered I love.

[Yuliya]

Moby-Dick - finally - it was on my mental list to read. I knew what is about, I knew famous first lines..... Just didn't read it (it was not so popular like in U.S.A and was not in any school/college programs in country there I'm from). It's apparently very long story! so far I liked it very much!

[Brenda]

I am listening to A Grown-Up Kind of Pretty & reading The Legacy of Eden.

[Yuliya]

Moby-Dick - listening
and City of Thieves reading

[Lis]

Finished Atonement, now moving on to Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.

Thanks for the positive comments. I plan to start reading this one soon.

Back To Work: Why We Need Smart Government For A Strong EconomyI just picked this one up. Bill Clinton has come back from his humanitarian work to author this political book. His comments on "what politicans say and what they" do are right on the money. We need more public figures who say what they mean and mean what they say.

[Cassie]

I have been reading a LOT of books about the Holocaust because of my class that I am in this semester about this. I have read within the last two weeks time frame The Reader, Holocaust Poetry, Survival in Auschwitz, Maus I: My Father Bleeds History, and Maus II: And Here My Troubles Began. This just names the Holocaust books that I have read this month thus far. I am moving onto the book Ross Poldark next so that I have something not related to the Holocaust. :-)

[Gitte]

I'm reading The Virgin in the Garden by A.S. Byatt.

[Gary]

Finished by James Patterson. Fantastic book couldn't put it down. Now I'm about to start by Michael Crichton. Anyone have comments on this book.

[Michael]

[Karen M]

Reading One Day, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Sweet Ophelia.

I absolutely "love" the Holocaust. And by love, I mean that it interests and fascinates me; I never knew how to express that withouth sounding psychotic. I devour anything about the Holocaust and mostly about WWII in general, but have missed some of the ones you mentioned, will be adding them to my list. Thanks for sharing! Hope your class goes well!

[Lis]

Picked up Storm Front by Jim Butcher. Loving it so far!

Are you liking this book? I found it very confusing and a slow read.
