Decided to start Angels and Demons today. First I read The Da Vinci Code because someone I worked with had just started reading it and wanted someone to discuss it with them. This same person gave me Angels and Demons a few months later but I didn't get around to reading it. Then my brother loaned me The Lost Symbol and I felt I had to read that so I could give it back to him. So, finally I'm reading the first book in the series.

Just finished The Best a Man Can Get: A Novel, it was witty and insightful about fatherhood.I am about to begin
I've just finished Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, now I'm reading Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

I was reading The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket, but I got bored with it really quickly. Now I'm reading The Giver by Lois lowry, hopefully I will be more drawn into it then I was with my last book.
Claire and Betsy, not to worry I'll keep In the Woods on my large TBR list. Your comments definitely played into my decision. Thank you.I am still currently reading

Tess wrote: "Still Life by Louise Penny"Hi Tess: I loved that book - how are you liking it?
I've started May's group read
The Descendants - I bought the book for my e-reader several months ago and am finally getting to read it. It appears to be a fast read.
Wendy wrote: "Finished A Storm of Swords: Steel and Snow and just started Fifty Shades of Grey to see what the fuss is about."Can't wait to hear your thoughts, Fifty Shades has certainly received a lot of press lately.
what genre is that one of? we just received a couple copies at the bookstore and the cover looks neat... do you think it is any good?
Reading The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. Very intriguing sci-fi story. I can't stop reading it. Anyone else read this one?
Anne (Booklady) wrote: "I'm currently re-reading The Grapes of Wrath."Anne, how are you liking The Grapes of Wrath? I read East of Eden and really liked that but have never read The Grapes........
Finished Fifty Shades of Grey and just started Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow before I read Fifty Shades Darker and A Storm of Swords: Blood and Gold.

Yes. I do. :)
Two more down, 20 to go. Finished The Help
which I really liked, to my surprise. Finished Friday Mornings at Nine
which was ok. The story and ending were a little too pat for me. Reading Murder Your Darlings
and Simply Halston and about to start What Was She Thinking?: Notes on a Scandal
. Need a new audio, too-- it will either be The Rose Garden
or Bright Young Things
.
I just finished Londoners: The Days and Nights of London Now--As Told by Those Who Love It, Hate It, Live It, Left It, and Long for It and really enjoyed it.
i'm currently reading The Hunger Game... i don't have much time to read books . so i'm reading books slowley..
Just finished `Imagine: How Creativity Works` by Jonah Lehrer. The book explores creativity in individuals, groups, businesses & organizations, cities and societies. The work is heavy on anecdotes (as books by journalists tend to be) but also does a good job of covering the science of creativity that is emerging out of experiments and studies in neuroscience and social psychology. There is much to be learned about creativity here, and how we can get more of it in our personal lives and in the groups, organizations, cities and societies of which we are a part. I`ve written an executive-style summary of the book available at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.comCheers,
Aaron
Finished A Hearth in Candlewood and have now started the 2nd book in a mystery series I Shall Not Want.
I'm reading Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford. It's been on my to-read list for ages and I'm glad I finally got the courage to tackle it. Absolutely fantastic so far.
I finally got Divergent last week, and had to force myself to finish The Phantom of the Opera before I could start. Well, I finished Phantom of the Opera (good book, if not what I expected).Hurray for starting Divergent at last! Not far into it, but enjoying it already. Should be a nice quick read to serve a break before I venture back into the world of French literature with The Count of Monte Cristo.
Also working on The Lord of the Rings, which is a reread so I'm not as concerned about reading it regularly.

I had a tough time with The Phantom of the Opera when I read it too, but I liked The Count of Monte Cristo quite a bit; it was easier to follow for me. I hope you find similar success. I also loved Divergent and am excited because I just got the sequel, Insurgent:)
Started a YA book called The Rathburn Ghosts -not bad but I'm a sucker for a ghost story,and so far none of the ghosts are monsters...

I wish I could afford Insurgent, but I was pushing it enough with buying Divergent brand new... On to The Count of Monte Cristo, in all of its unabridged glory.
Layne, yeah, The Phantom of the Opera was very slow-moving. I got through books 4-7 of Harry Potter faster than I got through The Phantom of the Opera.

I'm reading Ransom. I feel like I should start keeping track of how many books I read with different perspectives of the Trojan war.
Just finished the wonderful Nicholas and Alexandra this is my review www.goodreads.com/review/show/315871378

Finished the The Third Angel by Hoffman. I'm not usually a fan of magic realism,but Hoffman's writing helps me over-come by aversion to that genre.
