[Linda]

Just finished by Dennis Lehane. Gave is a 4.5. Lehane is a master of suspense to the last page.

You are the third person who has mentioned how good the Stand was -- i need to pick that up at the library during my next trip!

I'm reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz. Really like it so far!

I loved this book! It has a good mix of everything without being overdone.

Currently re-reading The New Women of Wonder: Recent Science Fiction Stories by Women about Women. Picked it up for Screwtop and so far it's still my favorite.

Just finished reading 'The Violinist's Thumb: And Other Lost Tales of Love, War and Genius, as Written by Our Genetic Code.' It was fantastic. It's by Sam Kean (author of the equally spectacular 'The Disappearing Spoon'). His latest book tells the story of DNA--both the story of the history of life (from the smallest, simplest microbe, to we human beings), as well as the story of how we human beings managed to unravel DNA's mysteries (from Mendel, to Morgan, to Watson and Crick, to the Human Genome Project). I've written a full executive summary available at newbooksinbrief.wordpress.com.

Cheers,

I am halfway through listening to Sailing to Capri by Elizabeth Adler and will begin reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn later tonight.

I've finished reading The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper yesterday. Now I'm reading Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich.

I read that. I thought it was okay. His writing is good, and it is a very unique book. But I just didn't care too much for the story.

[Cecilyn]

Just finished reading last week... Am contemplating on which to read next...

[Bryn]

John Cowper Powys, Porius. He's been a discovery for me this year and I have a pile of his... I like this setting most, Wales in the year 499, after the Romans, a mess of peoples/tribes and religions in conflict. Glorious book, if heavy and eccentric.

I'm doing a weird thing. I read Crime and Punishment, finished last week, and - started again. Twice in a row, don't even know why. It must be talking to me at the moment. I worship Dostoyevsky but I've never been that keen on C&P. Seem to be now.

[Aoibhínn]

I've already finished Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich, which was a short but hilarious novel, an now I'm about to start reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen.

[Paula]

I just started Sister

[Karen M]

I'm reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and for something completely different The Witch's Ladder.

I quite like it, but there are some parts that just aren't that interesting.

[Sofia]

Currently reading , and I think I have (temporarily) given up on

[Gary]

I'm just about finished by Jack Higgins.

[Brenda]

For a discussion I am reading Lonestar Angel I am enjoying it.

[tiasreads]

I just finished . It was okay, but not a page-turner like most of this series. My next read will be... whatever I can turn up at the library tomorrow.

Just finished The Bellman Chronicles. What a read that was. Loved it and was horrified at the same time by people's behaviour.

finished D. c. Dead and it was quite good. Now starting by Jack Higgins whichi is the latest in the Sean Dillon series.

If horror at people's behavior is your thing,try "Gone Girl". I read the blurb for your book. Is it a memoir? Now that would really be scary! :D

[David]

I'm about halfway through Glaciers by Alexis M. Smith. It's a short novel, beautifully printed by Tin House Books, about a day in the life of a Portland librarian. She collects paper ephemera (old postcards, letters, etc) and the story moves back a forth between the present and her memories of a childhood in Alaska. Highly recommended!

[Flora]

I just finished The Road to Hell which was awesome. And currently I'm about 2/3 of the way thru The Dragonslayer's Sword which has been really good so far.

How did you enjoy Off Balance. I watched a program with one of the sportcasters about her disabled sister - what a woman!

I really liked it. I love watching gymnastic and I remember watching Dominque and the Magnificient Seven. A little jumping around and some instances of repetitiveness. I knew about her emancipation from her parents, but was unaware of an additional sister. Her life story was interesting and I learned more about her and the sister she never knew she had was such an inspiration! It also mentioned the Karolyis and their coaching techniques etc. It was a quick and I purposely read it during the gymnastics portion of the summer Olympics. Shawn Johnson also has a book out and I'd like to read that as well. I must be on an Olympic Gymnast Biography kick.

[Catherine]

I've just received my copy of Kendare Blake's "Girl of Nightmares", which I'm looking forward to reading. I really enjoyed "Anna Dressed In Blood" previously!

Thanks for your thoughts. I wish you could see the piece on her sister. The people who adopted her taught her there is no word can't and she never believed there was. I am now really interested in reading this book.

[Nancy from NJ]

I just finished The Killing Floor and while I enjoyed it, I can't even count up the number of people who were killed in this book.

I decided to wait to read Back Spin and Friends Forever. I have so many books I want to read and reserved books waiting for me at the library soooo

I will decide later today what I will read. To be honest its hard to read three books at the same time but I do like the Kindle at night when my husband is asleep.

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen this morning and now I'm about to start I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith.

[Paula]

I'm reading No One Is Here Except All of Us by Ramina Ausubel. It's a little slow starting out, but I hope it gets better! Has anyonevelsecread this? If so, what did you think of it?

[Ann from S.C.]

Finished RAPTURE OF CANNAN, now will start 11th HOUR by James Patterson.

[Ethan]

I just finished I, Michael Bennett by James Patterson. This series has been one gem amongst many of Patterson's recent travesties. While there really was no ending, probably in anticipation of another Bennett novel, I still found this to be an entertaining read.

Now I'm working on Fire Season by Jon Loomis. I haven't read the first two novels in this series, so it will be interesting to see how this one is.

I've been on a mystery/thriller kick lately, but I'm looking forward to changing things up a bit. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Gabriella]

I'm reading The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo.

I am about to begin I, Michael Bennett. I really enjoy Michael and his brood and think this is a pick me up from Patterson's recent drivel.

If you're into mysteries/thrillers, have you read and of David Rosenfelt's books featuring Andy Carpenter and Lee Child's books featuring Jack Reacher. Another author I enjoy is Dennis Lehane and his Pat and Angie series.
