I am reading Look Me in the Eyes by John Elder Robinson. It is about his life journey with Aspergers. My next book is called Little Bee and I am excited to start it.

Hi! I'm reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. So fun, in a morbid sort of way.

I'm a series junkie and my latest addiction is Ian Rankin's John Rebus series.

Inspector Rebus is so dark, flawed, cynical ... I really like him.

I am reading "I heard that song before" by Mary Higgins Clark. I have never read anything by her before and it was given to me by a friend to read...so far it's ok. I guess I am more in to the gruesome suspense. It reads very much like a soap-opera.

I know it's meant for children but has any one read any of the Artemis Fowl books?

with summer here i tend to reread books. i am currently rereading Valhalla Rising by Clive Cussler. then hopefully around oct. i want to tackle Wicked again. i got about half way through that one last time then got busy and did not finish it. so i took a break from it and will go at it again when summer is over.

i do enjoy reading this thread for other authors and suggestions.

I just finished Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind and I can't recommend it highly enough. Best start to an epic fantasy I've ever read. I would go so far to say I may love his main character more then I love Orson Scott Cards Ender and Bean put together (and this is saying very much from me!).

I am re-reading a favorite, book two in the Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliette Marillier A Son of Shadows. It's a summertime tradition for me to read it. I love it more every time I read it.

I just finished Jhumpa Lahiri's Unaccustomed Earth, and now I'm reading Teaching a Stone to Talk, a collection of essays by novelist Annie Dillard, and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, by Dee Brown.

Currently listening to Roadside Crosses by Jeffrey Deaver, with Janet Evanovich's Finger Lickin' Fifteen lined up to listen to next. I just started reading THe Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cook (she also wrote Must Like Dogs). Too many books, too little time.

Allison, do you like your Kindle? I think it would be great for travel but the cost and the fact that it's very slow to connect here have kept me from getting one.
