Just finished Tipping the Velvet. It was pretty good but I saw the movie about a year ago so most of the thrill was ruined, I thought it had been long enough but I guess not.

[Michelle Kay]

ive just finished Midnight Sun
And I Am Legend

And I've started Candy in Action today

Michelle, what did you think of Fight Club?

I finished Cunt A Declaration of Independence Expanded and Updated Second Edition -it is one of the best books I have ever read!

I'm reading Expect Resistance A Crimethink Field Manual now- it's brilliant!

[Michelle Kay]

fight club was very much like the movie, surprisingly.

more cleverly worded and in a little different order than the movie, but better, as books always are.

but if youve seen the movie, theres no twists or surprises you havent seen, and the book then gets kind of boring. at least for me.

i like to read and see the differences between books and their movies.

[Anna]

I just got back from visiting a friend and I was reading a book a day...so here is what I've read: Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet A Novel, Hannah's Dream A Novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. They were all pretty good, just simple easy reads but perfect for vacation time.

[Michelle Kay]

i've just finished i am legend and invisible monsters and candy in action.

and am started on petals on the wind.

[Allison]

just finished jonathon strange and mr. norrell

now i'm reading the life and many deaths of harry houdini.

[Justine]

I am reading House of Leaves. I have mixed feelings about it so far. I'm almost done with the 'book' part (there's about 200 pages of exhibits and appendixes...appendii?). The story is really good but a lot of the research is kind of boring and too mathematically inclined. Way too many made up footnotes and the secondary story in the footnotes is getting pretty hard to follow.
The text goes every which way on the page and gets to be a little too much sometimes and some pages only have one word on them which I feel like is kind of a waste in places where it doesn't add anything to the story.

[Kimberly]

I'm reading The Book Thief and loving it!

[Ashley]

I finished reading "Betrayed" last night and I am now reading "Chosen". Both are part of the "House of Night" series by P.C. and Kristin Cast.

[Kelsey]

Justine, I felt the same way about The House of Leaves. Experimental fiction interests me, and I didn't mind so much the one word on each page/sideways or backwards sentences, but I did feel like it started to get a little bit boring and tedious. I still have to finish it!

Kimberly: I'm glad you're enjoying The Book Thief! I loved it!

[Justine]

Kelsey, I thought the parts that were actually a story and not just references or whatever was really good. I feel like I have no idea what happened at the end.

[Daniel]

Just finished Lonesome Dove.....I definitely recommend it.

[Kimberly]

Just finished The Book Thief, I loved it!! One of the best books I have read for a long while.

I am now rereading Ender's Game. Love this book. :)

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading a book on abnormal and clinical psychology at the moment. It's absolutely facinating!

[Michelle Kay]

ive finished Petals on the Wind

And am reading The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

just finished Eat, Pray, Love One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia and now on to The Time Traveler's Wife

[Anna]

Just finished World War Z An Oral History of the Zombie War, I only read it because I promised a friend I would read it if she stopped giving me a hard time about Twilight. I really like apocalypse movies but books just never do it for me, it was interesting but the same plot I've seen/read before.

[Justine]

Yesterday I read books 1-6 of the Sin City Graphic novels. I'm reading Brave New World, Sense and Sensibility, and of course, The Time Traveler's Wife. My ipod keeps confusing me and I think I'm FINALLY about to start the second half of The Time Traveler's Wife, but it never happens.

[Ashley]

I am currently reading "Chosen" by P.C. and Kristin Cast. The House of Night series is really good so far.

[Justine]

I just finished Perfect Fifths A Novel. I'm really sad that the series has ended.

[Liz]

I finished Beyond Ragnarok a few days ago, and have recently started Dracula and am also working on Great Expectations.

[Tahleen]

I'm reading Sunshine by Robin McKinley. Great vampire book so far, plus more mature (and just better) than the vampire stuff I've been reading (all teen stuff).

[Anna]

Just finished The Bell Jar. It was a re-read (for maybe the 4th time), and I still really like it. I think that given different circumstances I could be in a similar situation so every time I read it I'm grateful to live in current times. I also have a copy that was published in 1971 (I think) and I just love it which makes reading it that much better.

[Michelle Kay]

I've Just Finished Go Ask Alice

and am still reading The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary
and am starting on The Scarlet Letter

one of my all time favorite books!

[Lianne]

I just finished re-reading Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility (dunno how many times this makes it); I love how every time I read this book, I pick up something different, whether it be a particular action or a particular character trait =)

Dunno what to read next as I'm supposed to be studying for my exam =(

[Tahleen]

I need to read The Bell Jar.

[Kimberly]

What did you think of Go Ask Alice? I've been told its one of those books that everyone should read.

[[deleted user]]

Go Ask Alice and The Bell Jar are brilliant!

[Michelle Kay]

it was really good. it was a true story, well a true journal anyways. so theres no real ending and theres a lot of questions that go unanswered. but its still compelling. comparing it to your own experiences (if you have any similar) really shows the generation differences.

[Anna]

I'm rereading Angels & Demons in time for the movie to come out. :)

Not as good as the first time around... Sigh.

[Molly]

I just started The Pact A Love Story after finishing The Time Traveler's Wife..so glad that it was our group read! I would have waited a while longer to read it.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner), The Founding Bookworm]

Just finished The Time Traveler's Wife and now on to Lolita!

[Kimberly]

I just finished listening to the audio book, you should try that. The reader is excellent!

[Anna]

You know, I've never listened to an audio book. I should probably pick one up sometime from the library or something. Much better than listening to crap on the radio when I'm driving to work. :)

I listened to my first audiobook on my commute to work this past month..I am so happy i tried it. I listened to I Know This Much Is True

[Anna]

I don't know why I always strayed away from them. They seem really convenient now that I think about it.
Does it take long to listen to a book?

[Lynnie]

In the past, my family has listened to audio books on long car trips. I like them ok.. but my mind wanders. And sometimes the reader's voice is super weird and distracting

[Anna]

I'm terrible at audio books. My mom tried to get me to listen to them when we drove long distances together and I'd be listening fine for 20-30 minutes then my mind would wonder and she would ask me to put in the next disk before I even realized that I was completely zoned out.

[Tahleen]

Anna, it depends on the book. Some are abridged and shorter, and some are really long and unabridged. I've seen one as short as four hours, and as long as 17 (there are probably ones out there that are longer). And plus the longer ones are going to be more expensive because they'll have more discs, unless you get them from the library in which case they will be free!

[Anna]

I'm currently reading I Capture the Castle, and Three Junes, they are both pretty good but seem to be taking me forever...

I just bought I Capture the Castle. Let me know what you think when you are finished with it!

[Tahleen]

I just finished a book called Getting Off Pornography and the End of Masculinity by Robert Jensen. It was really tough to read because I hadn't realized how awful our society still is when it comes to, as he calls it, "woman hating."

[Lianne]

I finished reading Tom Rob Smith's Child 44, which was pretty interesting. Dunno what book to read next, will probably re-read something slim from my bookshelf since I'm studying at the moment =(

[Anna]

Just finished Three Junes, it was decent but confusing I wouldn't recommend it. My chair was so comfy (and Kindle so convenient) that I started Angels & Demons
Jaime, I'll let you know how I Capture the Castle goes, so far its good but I'm reading it before bed and can't seem to keep my eyes open.

[Hollis]

I'm reading Creation A Novel by Gore Vidal. I'm really enjoying it although Vidal doesn't seem to be that popular around here for some reason.

[Lianne]

I've started reading Kate Mosse's Sepulchre and am absolutely loving it so far =D

[Janet]

Sorry...I know I am a little late but I LOVED Go Ask Alice. Did you know there is another one out that her daughter or someone wrote? I'm really interested in reading that.
I am going to start reading Angels and Demons next. I started it on a road trip, my boyfriend and I got it on my iPod but never finished it! I am just going to read it now instead! Haha.

[Mike The Pirate]

I just finished reading Bloodhound by Tamora Pierce, but now I'm back to my class readings. This week its What Love Got to Do With It, by Denise Brenan, and Decline and Fall, by Evelyn Waugh.
