Thank you for starting this thread!!

I just finished Hurry Down Sunshine by Michael Greenberg. Good book, but nothing like what I had imagined.

I just started The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. I love this book! A very easy read from the point of view of a dog. The dog's owner races cars, as my DH did for a while, and it's interesting that the book visits some of the raceways that we are familiar with.

After that, I'll start Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates because I'm sure we won't make it to see the movie.

This Present Darkness, by Frank Peretti

It is a Christian thriller - basically focusing on the behind-the-scenes working of angles based on our prayer. Good book.

Is Revolutionary Road a good book??

I love seeing what everyone is reading. Personally, I am STRUGGLING to get through my first Jodi Pichault - a Christmas gift. It's Change of Heart, and what I really dislike about it is the way she is blatant in making the connections she wants you to make instead of giving the reader an ounce of credit for being able to make the connections herself. It's just not good writing, but now that I'm over halfway, I feel committed to finishing it.

I'm currently reading Twilight. I've been pleasantly suprised by how good it is! I hope I don't get addicted to the series, since it is a little embarassing to be 26 and reading a book aimed at teenagers. Next I'm probably going to read a book called 90 Minutes in Heaven. Either that, or some kind of classic literature to counteract all the popular stuff I've been reading lately.

Revolutionary Road is a reallllly good book. i read it for a class on fiction and the suburbs.

Read a real quick book this afternoon. Smitten by Janet Evanovich.

If you a fan of hers, it's a cute, quick read. Got it done in a couple hrs.

The Kite Runner and the Twilight series- love it!

I am reading so many right now lol. I am reading The Punishment of Virtue: Inside Afghanistan After the Taliban by Sarah Chayes, Kabul in Winter: Life Without Peace in Afghanistan by Ann Jones, and Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child.

I love reading books about Afghanistan or anything around that region, since it is my focus in uni :D And I like a good romance every now and then lol like Twilight :-P

If y'all like Twilight, read her other book called The Host. It was awesome and I actually prefer it over the Twilight series.

Smiling_Sara 01-05-2009 09:36 AM

I'm going to start How To Be Single tonight. Anyone here read it?

alinnell 01-05-2009 09:44 AM

I'm glad to hear Revolutionary Road is good. I'm having a hard time getting into it, though.

I very much disliked The Host (my son liked it, though). I'm more of a Twilight fan!

After I finish Revolutionary Road, I have a Maya Angelou book to read Letter to My Daughter. I really liked her I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and am hoping that this will be as good.

i'm reading the twilight series. on book 2.

I loved The Art of Racing in the Rain!! I'm not much of a dog person, or a racing person, lol- but I recommend this to everyone :)

I just finished The Time Traveler's wife and loved it- looking forward to the movie! Just started the new Wally Lamb, The Hour I first Believed- so far so good!
