Liz, I liked Frankenstein. I don't particularly care for the movies--very different--and they do not convey they same depth that the novel does. Had I not read it previously, I probably wouldn't pick it up because of the movies (which I only saw snippets of).

[Jessica]

Sounds fascinating. I am looking for a new book to read--I have quite a few but I can't muster interest with what is on my shelves. This happens occasionally. Usually it means I need a change in my reading habits.

Death W/ Interruptions sounds like it might be just what I need.

[Jeane]

jenna, Galileo's daughter does sound interesting. Another one for the TBR list!!!

Jessica Frank, I have the same thing..I feel I have to read it once.... and I know I wll be relieved but...pfffffff

[Kellie]

Welcome Atishay!
Seabiscuit is one of my all time favorite books.
I loved it!
Beth, The Glass Lake is my favorite Binchy.
I think you'll like it. Binchy is a great story teller.

[Lisa]

Thank you so much for this thoughtful but spoiler-free synopsis. Now I want to read it more than ever!

[[deleted user]]

thankies

[Kim]

I just finished Choke and Life of Pi, and both books were really good. Wow! what a story with Pi, and Choke was just so original and amusing.

[Donna]

LORI!!

So I started to read Smashed, Squashed... and the minute I opened it I was laughing. I am becomeing one ofthose people who laugh by themselves on the train LOL but I can't out it down. Good Choice!!!

[Donna]

BTW Notice the pic?? I know it's a little morbid but I was amazed to find it truthful

[Nawar]

I'm almost finished The Devil Wears Prada, really fun read, and I'm starting Prozac Nation soon.

[Atishay]

Hi Kellie ! Yup, I loved Seabiscuit too. And certainly it is one story that I'll remember for sometime.. By the way, have you read "The Horse Whisperer" ?

[Atishay]

Hello Kim ! I read Life of Pi a couple of years back. Actually, a friend forced me to buy it coz I didnt really trust Booker Prize Winners at that time :)and he wanted to prove me wrong. Anyways, I started reading it and couldn't put it down until I knew the fate of Richard Parker and Pi. I'm eagerly waiting for a new novel by Yann Martel.

[Emma]

Ack, Interview with a Vampire isn't in my library. I guess I'll have to pick up Frankenstein today instead.

[Laura]

Another classic, GEmma, you're on a roll now!

[Laura]

Atishay - I love your avatar

[Emma]

Haha, I hope I'll like it!

[Laura]

I hope you do, too, but I've never read it. I wonder if the pacing is similar to Dracula? My husband liked both of them, but he's a guy, so...
you know.

[Atishay]

Thanks Laura ! By the way what is 'avatar' ? :) Sorry didn't get you...

[Krista]

Atishay - "avatar" is the little icon (picture) to the left. Mine's a bellydance tribal-fusion fairy.

______________________________

I need a break from House of Leaves. My hubby and I are taking a short roadtrip over the weekend and I need something I can read easily in the care. So, I started Bliss by Lauren Myracle last night (already a good 60-80 pages in) and am taking along The Book Thief by Markus Zusak for the ride home.

[Jackie]

Iki, I plan on starting The Book Thief this weekend once I have finished Dracula. I'm still plugging along with Dracula but I'm almost there. =/

[[deleted user]]

Jenna, I just finished Galileo's Daughter recently. I thought it was fascinating.

[Atishay]

Oh! I will add it to my lingo dictionary right away. Thanks Ikiwiki :)

[Amberjade]

Sloppy Firsts, I'm such a sucker for YA novels.

[Heather]

I finally started reading Dracula last night. I have a feeling I'm really going to have to push myself to get through it. I'm also still reading The Zombie Survival Guide.

[Angela]

Amberjade... I read all of those YA novels by her. I loved them!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Currently reading The Screwtape Letters. It's ... OK, I guess. And I'm going to be acquiring Twilight from my knitting teacher come Thursday.

[Ashley]

Amberjade and Angela- I too love YA. What isn't to love!

[Maria]

i just started The Reluctant Fundamentalist. finally. i've been trying to get to this book for 2 months, but i kept pushing it aside for other stuff. i'm not too far, maybe 15 pages, but it's very good so far.

[Chloe]

Stephanie, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Beyond Good and Evil. I was, perhaps, exposed to Nietzsche at a very young age and he ended up shaping my thoughts very nicely. I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts on the book. It's always fun to read philosophy.

[Kellie]

OMG Ashitay.
I bawled like a baby when I read The Horse Whisperer.
Loved the movie too!

[Laura]

I loved the movie - is it way different than the book? Wasn't Clint Eastwood in the movie?

[Kellie]

Robert Redford.
And he was great in it....
Scarlet Johannson played the girl.

[Laura]

That's it! Robert Redford. I like all the older guys in the movies, the classics like those 2 so I guess they merge together for me :)

Was the movie better than the book or the reverse? Should I read the book??? (Hey another on my TBR, no problem!!)

[Kellie]

The book was great!
The movie was great!
They are a little different though.
I'd read the book!

[Emma]

Reading Interview with the Vampire....JUST started.

[Laura]

OK, thanks!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Stephanie,
Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche..wow. I had to read that in college. Not sure it would be something I would choose to just pick up and read. Hes a tough guy to get through!!

Donna... Wow! I am so happy you are enjoying Smashed... I really didnt want to put it down once I started it. I read the authors note first, and thought, well... if this guy writes the book the way he wrote his intro, I'm gonna love it! I hope this gets more people reading him....

[Lori, Super Mod]

Lisa, Death W/ Interr is so much better than what I made it out to be. You cant really describe it without spoiling it too much. That is really the plot of it tho...

Watch out tho, near the begining was a bit of a tear jerker for me. Maybe I was in a melancholy mood, but wow. He hasnt been able to make me cry before.... Please, if you pick it up, let me know what you think!

[Emma]

Lori, did you see Blindness?

[Laura]

Interview, GEmma? This means youre gonna be one book closer to ......

TH!!!

[Emma]

:) I thought you'd see it that way.

[Laura]

I see little furry hobbits EVERYWHERE now.

I'm thinking of renaming one of my cats Frodo.

[Chloe]

Now I'm just plain curious, Laura. What is TH?

[Laura]

The Hobbit - I've been mercilessly pounding GEmma to read it, since I broke down and read A Great and Terrible Beauty.

(I figure she owes me)

:)

[Lori, Super Mod]

Logan, I think she means The Hobbit... but im not 100% sure.

[Lori, Super Mod]

ooohh double post.. haa haa

(G)Emma... Yeah i saw Blindness. I thought it did the book alot of justice. I really liked it. Have you seen it yet?

[Laura]

You guys are so funny. We're an odd little family, but it WORKS, doesn't it??

:)

[Chloe]

Well see, this is what I get for not paying attention. Emma, The Hobbit pales in comparison to Lord of the Rings. Good riddles but other than that, it's not a must read. IMHO.

[Lori, Super Mod]

you know (please dont chuck things at me) but I tryed to read The Hobbit, and even tryed to read the first Lord of the Rings... and just couldnt get into it... not a fan of the way Tolkien writes I guess....
