The Girls he adored was incredible and since then I have finished by Katia Lief and by James Patterson. Enjoyed both of them. Now I'm starting by Lars Kepler.

[Kristin]

I'm reading, and a few pages way from being done with, 50 Shades of Grey. I know I've seen pretty much everyone on here hates it, and I can see everyones points about it, and I have been putting off reading it but I am actually liking it, it's been a very fast read for me, I think it's because Ana is a mix between me and my best friend so I can relate to her in a way. *shrugs*
Of course, I will have to get the other two just so I can finish the series -_-

Kristin, I didn't hate it but it was just an ok read for me. My daughter surprised me today because she HATED it and wasn't going to finish it. She did finish and is now reading the 2nd book. I had to laugh. I will read the 2nd one soon.

[Paula]

I'm getting ready to start that I won on Goodreads. It looks very good.

I enjoyed it...made me laugh out loud.

[Qwantu]

Just finished The Wind Through the Keyhole by Stephen King and now reading Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn...it's my first Flynn novel...what does the group think of her work?

[Chris]

I'm halfway through The French Lieutenant Women by John Fowles... its a very strange read. Anyone else read it?

Don't know anythign about Gillian Flynn's work but that is the book I will be reading after I finish The Hypnotist by Lars kepler.

[Claire]

Just finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and am starting The Things They Carried. I'm looking forward to this book.

Don't..."

Well we will discover her together!

[Pat]

Reading Jeffery Deaver's "The Twelfth Card". I am going through the Lincoln Rhyme series and I have really liked them. I will be starting Michael Malone's "Uncivil Seasons" for my library book club tonight.

[Paula]

I'm about to start

LOL I am that way sometimes I will swear up and down that I don't or wont like something then end up either really liking or loving it.
The book ends in such a way that, obviously you know what is going to happen, but you NEED to read the second book just to see HOW it happens. I started the second book today and I am liking (at least so far) the changes in Christian and their relationship.

[Asha]

Currently reading 'The Witch of Portobello' by Paulo Coelho....Its just dragging and dragging and dragging... Wonder what inspired Coelho to write this one! Desperately waiting to finish it and start reading something light on the mind and sensible too. Any suggestions from readers?

[Michelle]

The Fault in Our Stars and 1Q84. Loving both of these - both are very different.

[Yuliya]

Very exited to start The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
Just finishedThe Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and loved it

Really enjoyed

Glad to hear you liked it, Paula. Its a little bit of a "heavier" read than Harry Potter!

[Betsy]

Still working on Boujahlian's Night Stranger. It's good,and the characters are extremely well done. The Dad with PTSD is getting scary.
Picked up 5 more books in the last three trips to town. Ah, such wonderful choices I have!

[Cecilyn]

Am working my way to finishing The Darkest Seduction... I don't know why am procastinating in finishing this. When the latest Anita Blake novel came out.... I placed this book aside to give way to Anita....

[Patricia]

I finished No Angel by Penny Vincenzi and am moving on to the next in the series Something Dangerous.

[Rachel]

reading The Secret History, so far so good.

[Damon]

I'm running through a pretty diverse queue: We Need To Talk About Kevin (my review of it is somewhere around here in GR), just finished I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and am now reading Gods in Alabama (because I was born in Alabama and I'm trying to see if, even though I'm not from a small town, I still get homesick). Next is a book about Kerouac, a book by Bukowski and then, finally, Little Bee by Chris Cleeve. Words. Are. Everywhere. :)

[David]

Last night, I started reading Shine Shine Shine. I was tired and muscle-weary from a long, hard day. But Netzer's book kept me up long past my bedtime. Highly recommended so far....

I read it looong ago, when John Fowles was a big deal. I'm glad to see someone is still reading him. For TRULY weird John Fowles, you'd have to read "The Magus."

[Kathy]

I'm reading Lorrie Moore's Self-Help. It's funny and sad and absolutely brilliant.

I like it, but then I'm a big fan of postmodernism. I'll certainly be picking up some more, thanks for the rec :)

That's a good one. Have you read Tana French's The Likeness which is quite similar?

[Lorraine]

I'm reading Defending Jacob - I'm about half way through so far.

[Emilly R]

I am currently reading"HAPPENSTANCE"BY CAROL SHIELD,this book has been sitting on my shelf for years and never read it.

[Gabriella]

I read by Jean Sasson, which I gave a 5-star rating. I am looking forward to more from this authour.

I also read by Alexander McCall Smith. I rated it 4 stars.

Right now I am reading by Annie Hawes. Pretty goodd so far!

[Gary]

Just finished by lars kepler and have now found a new author to follow. Yesterday I started by James Patterson. It is particularly timely as its story is written around the 2012 London Olympic Games.

[Scott]

Finished Misery and now I'm reading The Lies of Locke Lamora.

[David]

I am reading :)

[Amanda]

Just started Escape From Camp 14.

This one's on my TBR. Might have to move it up.

SLow start but it's good. Can John write a bad book? aha

Was No Angel a good book? I've had it on my TBR list like forever... along with the other two books of the trilogy:)

LOL, I do like him.

[Fernanda]

I'm finishing Rayuela by Julio Cortázar, and though I really enjoy his short stories I must say I didn't like this one as much.
Later I will start reading
The Bell Jar.

I ended up giving No Angel 3 stars though it teetered between 3 and 4 stars. I thought it was an entertaining family saga and easy reading.I just don't know how lasting of an impression it'll make on me, if that makes sense. I am reading the second in the series though so proof that I was interested in what happens to the characters. A coworker had recommended it to me and she loved the book.

[Betsy]

That makes perfect sense to me. I've re-worked my star ratings after an edifying thread. Here's how my rating system now goes;
5 stars - a book I will re-read cover to cover,one that could or should go on a list of 100 best **** If I lend the book out and it doesn't return, I'll replace it. It comes with me when I move.
4 stars - a book that I will re-read bits and pieces of,and will come with me when I move. I may re-place it,if it doesn't return when lended.
3 stars - a book I like due to the subject matter or the style,but will only reccommend to people who like the subject matter or the author. If it doesn't return,I figure its' gone to a better home.

It's only after you've let a book sit a while,that you know what its' worth.

Okay, thanks, Patricia! I had started it a few times, and for some reason, it never kept my attention. I'll just have to give it another shot:)

[Betsy]

I'm going to start Gone Girl. The book club doesn't start till August,but since school starts the 15th, I'll need to get it done sooner.
