I have it checked out of the library.

I am suffering from lack of attention. I have attempted multiple books without finishing anything: Toss of a Lemon, Beautiful Boy, Vicious Circle and the new Merry Gentry book. Ho hum, nothing grabs me!

Glory, I hate getting in those reading ruts!! I hope you break out of it soon. Haruki Murakami novels were always good for breaking me out of a rut for some reason.

I finished the first Sookie Stackhouse novel and thought it was pretty entertaining but not as good as I expected it to be. Good enough for me to buy the second one today, though -- not sure when I''ll get to it.

I also just read the third Queen Betsy vampire book (Undead and Unappreciated) -- very silly series, but fun.

Last night I started Run by Ann Patchett. Her Bel Canto is one of my favorite books ever.

Glory, I had problems with Beautiful Boy, too.

I FINISHED it! *pant pant pant*

I also read The Great American Detox Diet - written by Morgan Spurlock's girlfriend after he did the 30 day McDonald's diet for Super Size Me. I checked it out mainly hoping to get some good recipe ideas, but it's pretty obvious she's a personal, vegan chef who spends all day cooking stuff.

Gah. That's the way I felt about The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory. It kind of turned me off of her stuff, although I loved The Other Boleyn Girl.

Just finished Half Assed by Jeanette Fulda. Very inspiring!

I've just started "Between The Bridge And The River" by Craig Ferguson, the best late night talk show guy on TV.

He's very talented writes, acts, does stand up.

I got Q, R, S and T by Sue Grafton for Christmas. But I stopped in the middle of S to read Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Kingsolver. LOVE it!

i just finished Ender in Exile- and while I know a lot of people didn't like it and i must say it started off a bit... rocky - i enjoyed it and the second to last chapter is really intense.

i am now starting on the Kite Runner which I haven't read yet so far so good.

I am reading twilight as I have not been to the library to get anything, Dovey I have read 90mins and it is awesome. Right now I am waiting for the next Stephanie Plumb to come out.

lizziep 01-14-2009 05:07 AM

i know i'm behind the times and all- but the Kite Runner was amazing. I really liked it. I actually had to immediately watch the movie afterward and thought they did a pretty good job it it. I am really glad I read this book- it's not one I would normally pick up it was recommended by a friend.

I've got two ready to read next and I'm not sure which one to pick.

i recommend "dead until dark" (what the true blood hbo series was based on), it was a quick read that kept me interested. i also read "water for elephants" and "me talk pretty one day". i'm starting palahniuk's new one "snuff" tonight since i finished my sedaris book yesterday.

has anyone tried listening to audio books while working out? i'm wondering if i would enjoy it or if i would get frustrated with it...but i'm thinking that i would want to keep listening to the story so i'd stay on the treadmill longer haha!

lizziep 01-18-2009 03:06 AM

i'm on a freaking book reading roll! i read the third Zelazney book in his Amber Chronicles series. Then I read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It was excellent and I'm very glad I read it.

On to the second book by the author that wrote The Kite Runner....or maybe Elizabeth Wurtzel's book B*tch. I can't decide.
