Jamie - I must admit, I finally gave in and decided I HAD to read the book after hearing Bella's Lullaby (actually "River Flows in You" by Yiruma) on someone's playlist one day. :) I can't believe how much that song influenced me! Have you heard it? It's simply breathtaking.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

I actually haven't heard it..i shall try to listen to it right now!

[Carrie]

I haven't heard it!!

[Jamie]

Here's a link to my playlist: http://view.playlist.com/12756270859

Hopefully it will work!

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

oh my gosh! i just found it on Rhapsody..it's amazing! that is for sure going on repeat right now as i'm trying to do homework. its dreamlike.

[Carrie]

wow...how beautiful!
thank you for letting me hear!

[Carrie]

this would be great to play for my students while they work

[Jamie]

I know! I completely fell in love with it and, I swear, I could listen to it all day. It still brings tears to my eyes, especially now that I've read the book.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

i can't wait to see the movie..isn't really my thing for a movie either..but i can't resist!

[Jamie]

I agree with you about the movie also. Since my DH has the 21st off, I already know where we'll be that night!

[Cynthia]

Testimony...each chapter is told through different peoples voices (some tell more than one chapter)...it's about a sex scandal at this boarding school in Vermont and what led up to it and the aftermath and the fallout. Like I said it was very different from her other stuff but good in it's own way...my favorite of her's that I've read so far is Fortune's Rocks.

[Jenna]

still reading Shantaram.. its really mean how my professors keep giving me homework and other things to read for assignments. It's really cutting into my reading time.. So far, its fabulous.. I'm only a couple hundred pages in..

I am also reading for an assignment, Two years before the mast, which is actually quite good.

[Jackie]

Jamie thanks for sharing that song. It's so beautiful! I picked up Twilight this weekend after seeing the movie previews. I can't wait to read it now.

[Carrie]

sounds very good, Cynthia

[Krista]

Bella's Lullaby - for anyone interested in knowing, the movie soundtrack comes out this Tuesday (as in the day after tomorrow) and I'm guessing this track will be on it.

[Carrie]

the soundtrack comes out already??

Does anyone know about the SECRET LIFE OF BEES soundtrack?? I want it.

[Jamie]

Unfortunately, the song I mentioned won't be on the soundtrack. I'm not sure what the whole story is on that, but River Flows in You has been replaced by another song by Carter Burwell (one that doesn't seem to fit, actually).

Jackie - I hope you enjoy Twilight (I'd bet that you will)!

[Carrie]

whaaaaaaaat?
that song won't be on it?

[Jeane]

For now I am completely not interested in the Twillight serie, but knowing me in a couple of years it could be that I start reading them and like them.

Reading Book of the Dead.
I know many people say that they like her books less than the previous ones because they are different. It made me postpone reading the new ones she is writing because I don't want to start not liking her books anymore. For now, I agree that they are different. I read an article about her, kind of interview and she also explained that she is changing and it will influence her writing too. Which is normal I think and it seems to have happened. But I still love it!!! I am really enjoying the book.

[silvia]

I've finished the true story of hansel and gretel, havent rewied yet- want to do it rigth. the book deserves it. I strongly recommend it. its un incredible book.

now I'm reading something more chearfull and easy
Lady of Light and Shadows. the second book on the tairen souls series.

[Julianne]

Reading Blindness

[Jeane]

Why do I have to get through Cetology explanation to drag me through Moby Dick??????!!!!! It goes on and on.

[Jeane]

Jamie, i am reading the song and it is wonderful...... addicting.... so gentil and beautiful


now I do want to see everything and read everything of it!!

[Sera]

Yesterday, I finished Not Me by Michael Lavigne, which was very good. I intend to start the second novel in the Richard III The Crown of York trilogy by Sandra Worth this week. Plus, I continue to read through my non-fiction selections. Life is good!

[Jeane]

:-) sera, isn't it nice when reading makes you think like that!

[Donna]

I got about 100 pages into this book and had to abandon it. It was recommended as part of a book club and I just couldn't do it. I gave it to my daughter thinking she might get into it. No can do. Weird book. It's still on my shelf and who knows maybe one day when I have absolutely nothing else to read I will pick it up again. Doubtful though.

[Carrie]

Finished AGATB!! SO good!!!!!!

[Laura]

Jamie - I loved that song. You have great, eclectic taste in music! I was surprised I could play those songs on your list without a subscription or anything. What's up with that?? I like it, but I'd think the record co's. would be freakin' out.

[silvia]

jeane

I gave up on moby dick. I should have know better, I'm not fan of nautical things

good luck

[Jeane]

Bnoir, I am determined to finsih it after starting it three times....but damned it's hard. And I am reading it trough dailylit so don't know which page I am on, just chapter 34!

[Marsha]

I finished Flowers for Algernon last night.

That was one of the rare 5-star books. I owe it to the Fall Challenge that I read it as a "frequently banned book."

Definitely something everyone should read.

[Lisa Julianna]

I'm not that far into the book but I'm a bit disturbed by him giving himselves bruises. Is anyone else finding that odd?

[Ashley]

I am starting Tell Me Lies by Jennifer Crusie for the Chick Lit Book Club on here.

[Jamie]

Laura - Thanks! Yeah, playlist.com is different than many other music sites. You can only put songs on your list that are found on other websites. So, it is essentially just a list of links to where you'd normally be able to play specific songs on a site - oftentimes, you can find them on an artist's official site. I really like it - I've got it on my Facebook page, too.

[Laura]

Oh cool, thanks for the info, Jamie!

[Jeane]

Jamie, I got it on the whole time I was on Gr before!!! Like the collection.

[Ann from S.C.]

I started SAIL by James Patterson last night. I styaed up until 2am reading, its so good!!

[Charity]

I'm finishing House of Leaves today and then I'll be picking up October Light by John Gardner.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Damn, Im gone from GR for two days and this thread had 123 posts..... geesh!

I am still reading EL&IC .. I read more than half before I had to go to work... when I work, I am too tired to read at nite... so hopefully I can finish it tomorrow. i really really like it.

[Julianne]

Marsha-

I picked up Flowers for Algernon on a whim at the library yesterday. Glad to hear it got a good review (at least one). Sounds like my kinda book. Looking forward to it!

Along with AGATB

[Darla]

I just started "The Thirteenth Tale". I found it at my favorite used book store, and since it was on our reading list, I thought I'd give it a try!

[Carrie]

OOOH...I love that book, Darla!

[Flowby]

Right now I'm reading Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos...

I am more loving Clare Hobbs than Cornelia Brown..

I forgot to say HELLO to everyone since I just joined yesterday. So, again hello and wishing everyone a good day or night.. :D

[Jenna]

Finished Friday Night Knitting Club...it was pretty good. Just picked up EL&IC last night, and am really liking it so far. Only at about chapter 2 or so.

[Darla]

Hello and welcome mitzh!

[Marsha]

Julianne-

I'd love to talk about Flowers it when you get finished. A very moving and thought-provoking book.

[Jeane]

Book of the dead!!!! Boob of te dead!!!! I don't understand why so many people don't liek the last Patricia Cornwell books! Okay, the style is different, but not bad at all!!! i am reading it now and it is like a magnet trying to get me in the other room where I put it! I really like it. In some way, it si good it changed a bit. i grew up with her books and this one makes me feel like she moved on too.

[Julianne]

Marsha,

Sounds good. I'm gonna add you as a friend to remind me.

[Teresa]

[Lori, Super Mod]
