Hi everyone,

I'm reading Sizzling Sixteen by Janet Evanovich...I love this series! I also just finished a memoir called "I was told there'd be cake" by Sloane Crosley. It was a quick funny read that was complete brain candy.

Hickory,

I LOVE those books. I haven't read the latest one yet (I am in queue to get it from the library). Do you watch True Blood on HBO--the series is based on the books. They have taken a lot of liberties but it is also highly entertaining...plus Alexander Skarsgard is HOTTT

Thumbs up
The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy. He's amazing but it takes me a bit to get through his books due to his detailed writing and how many times I can read a sentence over and get something new out of it (not unlike this run on sentence lol). I can't wait to read everything of his.

The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester. Really interesting so far.

The Atheist's Way-Living Well Without Gods by Eric Maisel. Religious debate intrigues me to probably an unhealthy extent so I read a lot about it. But this book provides so much insight into my head, really.

I have watched the first 2 seasons. It was definitely different from the books, but I still love both the show and the books! But, the show put me firmly on Eric's side before the books did....

Ohh! I love the Sookie books too!! I agree with you, Hickory. I've read all the books too, and I liked Eric waaay sooner in the TV show than I did in the books...

Right now I'm reading 'The Things We Do For Love" by Kristin Hannah, and "Three Cups of Tea" by Greg Mortenson & David Oliver Belin...that ones taking me a while, it's nonfiction, so it's not a quick cute read. I've been reading it while reading novels.

I'm currently reading Lust by Elfride Jelinek. Very graphic, very hard to read book. I'm not sure if it is the translator or the author. Not one of my favorite reads.


Soon I will be reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I kept hearing about it so I picked it up and I will also read The Land of Green Plums by Herta Muller. I can't wait to be done with what I'm currently reading.
