[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Right now I'm reading Deja Dead, by Kathy Reichs. I like a good mystery.

And also The Elizabethan Renaissance: The Life of the Society, by A. L. Rowse. Very interesting. (I'm taking an enrichment class on the Plantagenets and Tudors, and though we have no required reading, I kinda got inspired.)

[Wes, Moderator]

Right now I am reading
A Wrinkle in Time
and
The Thirteenth Tale
They are both pretty good so far.

[Jim]

Freakonomics - pretty good and entertaining

I am beginning Sitting Practice by Caroline Adderson. it was recommended by a friend.

[Ashley]

I started a book called "Erec Rex: The Dragon's Eye" by Kaza Kingsley . It is the first book of the series.

[Brigid ✩]

I'm about to start reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[Lisa]

I am currently reading Still Growing, a memoir by Kirk Cameron. I am really enjoying it, as it is nice to see one child star who grew up with a normal, down to earth family, and didn't turn into what we keep hearing about in the news today. It makes me understand why I had such a crush on him as a teen.

[Ashley]

I'm gonna continue with "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld and I am also gonna start reading the second book of the Erec Rex series, "Erec Rex:The Monsters of Otherness" by Kaza Kingsley

walking the trail by jerry ellis about his walk from oklahoma to georgia (the trail of tears in reverse) to honor the cherokee nation who were forced by the u.s. gov't to relocate from their ancestoral home in the southeastern mountains of georgia, alabama, tenn and north carloina in 1838
4 thousand died on the trail
great concept but the book is sort of...uh..not great...not terrible...but almost not good to sort of bad
too personal? not such great writing, not such great insight

[Mandy]

I'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife and so far so good, I sit here "working" and can't wait to get back to it. Look forward to discussing it with you all at some stage over the next couple of months.

[[deleted user]]

Eat, Pray, Love is what I'm enjoying right now. Just finished Stephen King's Duma Key which has inspired me to write more than read these days.

[Jim]

Who Moved My Blackberry by Lucy Calloway

really funny so far about a corporate employee and his emails to his wife, kids, co employees, and his life coach (Pandora)
everything is email communiques and main character is kind of a Ricky Gervais guy in a big organization
if U like British sense of humor, u'll like it

only heard 1 disc out of 6 so far and wonder if it can stay as funny as it is through 6 discs but has gotten even funnier as get to know more about various characters and their foibles

good spoof on life coaches

[Pauline]

currently reading rant by chuck palahniuk.

[Carrie]

Wideacre by Philippa Gregory

[Celeste]

I'm currently reading The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. It's very good. I'm about halfway through and I have to say it's very well written and funny as hell in parts. Sort of Get Smart in a book form, but there are more than one Max. This is the first of 2, I can't wait to see where she goes in the second book.

[Kanika]

I'm a thriller fan and I'm reading Colin Forbes at the moment though I'm into Jeffery Archer as well... I want to start Ayn Rand soon so could someone tell me if they liked him???

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I'm reading The Horse, the Wheel, and Language, which is interesting but dense, dense, dense.

[Brigid ✩]

i'm reading Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz. it's very--um--interesting so far.

[Ashley]

I'm reading Uglies by Scott Westerfeld

[Pamela]

Hi everyone...

I am currently reading "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I've almost finished it, and I have absolutely loved every word of it. It is an incredibly satisfying and creative take on a horrific event in our history (Hitler's Nazi reign). Somehow, incredibly, Zusak has been able to inject levity into this dark tale, employing Death as its narrator, who tells the story of a young girl's struggle to understand the horrors and sadness she confronts.

[Chelsea]

I am currently reading "Kiss Me Tomorrow" By Susan Shreve. I just got it yesterday! I go to the book store and get more and more books whenever I can. Which would be like once a week! My friends hate it and say that they are going to give the book store my description! Oh, and I need to read "Blue Bloods" because thats what my book club is reading. And thanks for telling me that "The Book Thief" is a good book. I saw it at the store and didn't know if I should get it or not.

[[deleted user]]

I am trying to Read Atonement by Ian Mc Ewan. I am having a difficult time of it. I am 1/2 way into it and I cannot get into the characters or the style of writing. I may give it up. has any one else had a problem with this book?

[Carrie]

I've just started Ferney by James Long So far so good.

[Michelle]

I just started Lamb by Christopher Moore and am already enjoying it, as promised...

[Jim]

just started HOSPITAL by Judy Salamon

very interesting book about how a hospital in Brooklyn works, the personalities, the stresses and how things work/don't work

author is very insightful, imaginative and perceptive and luckily will be in Columbus next week for book tour I guess

read 100 pages so far and can't wait to get back to it

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Just finished The Horse, the Wheel, and Language, which is about the Proto-Indo-Europeans, and interesting, but a bit boggy in the middle.

Next up on the history front is Love and Louis XIV, by Antonia Fraser, and on the fiction side it's still The Winthrop Woman, by Anya Seton, and Paper Doll, by Robert B. Parker.

[Kimberly]

I started Gravity's Rainbow this week. Has anyone else read it?

[Allie]

I'm reading The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen.

[Chelsea]

I'm done reading "Kiss Me Tomorrow" it only took me like 3 or 4 days, because I was busy. Now I'm reading "Bra's and Brooomsticks" By Sarah Mlynowski. And soon I will be reading "Blue Bloods"

[Brigid ✩]

oh i just read blue bloods. personally i hated it, but that's just me... lol. :D anyway, i'm reading kira-kira... idk who the author is. ??? i'm forgetting her name right now. hmmm

[Ashley]

I'm now reading The Pact by Jodi Picoult and Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

[Chelsea]

Well, I can't really get into "Blue Bloods" yet so. I havn't finished reading Bra's and Broomsticks" but I got two more books at Barns and Nobles (a.k.a. HEAVEN!) and am now reading "If We Kiss" and "Maggie Bean Stays Afloat"

[Jim]

just started FREEDOM AT MIDNIGHT

book about the British relinquishing control over India in late 1940s

also about Gandhi/India's culture/classes/the English dynamic
very comprehensive all around view of both cultures and the people involved

very interesting and informative about a historical time that few of my history classes ever got to

[Kate]

I just started "Bright, Shiny Morning" by James Frey. I was not one of the people who were outraged by "A Million Little Pieces" being a work of fiction. I thought it was an entertaining book. I am only about 100 pages into this one, but so far it is fascinating. I don't want to put it down at night. Good thing - because it is due back at the library in less than a week!

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I am reading (about halfway through) The Queen's Man: A Medieval Mystery, by Sharon Kay Penman.

I'm enjoying it so far. Unfortunately, it's not very long - 270 pages.

[Danita]

I am currently reading "The Friday Night Knitting Club" its an ok read for a "filler" or a break book

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Let me rephrase that - I've just finished The Queen's Man.

It was a nice little historical mystery.

[Brigid ✩]

the third House of Night book, Chosen by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast

[Kimberly]

I am reading Stolen Innocense by Elissa Wall - Its about a girl inte FLDS Polygamous Sect and how she got away from Warren Jeffs.....

I have to admit I had my doubts but I and really finding this book very interesting. There are so many erie similarities to this "cult" as there are to scientology.

[Ashley]

Along with The Pact by Jodi Picoult, I will also read Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

I started The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan, earlier this afternoon. Very good so far.

[Brigid ✩]

yesterday i started reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman (don't know if i spelled that right... ?) it's pretty exciting so far. i like it :D

[[deleted user]]
