While he is a "if you love one, you'll love them all" author, he's certainly not a "if you've read one, you've read them all" author. This man's mind just amazes me! Okay, I'll stop gushing now.

My husband LOVES all of his books! I haven't read any of them but he keeps saying I need to.

Right now I am on book two in a very long series by Christine Feehan called the Dark Series. Very racy in some parts.. haha.

Reading "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides. It was recommended by a few people, and it's quite strange. I'm about a quarter through.

Which have you read? I've read all the older, and most of the newer, maybe I could recommend one? Also I love Hunter S. Thompson, and Irvine Welsch, authors of fear and Loathing in Las vegas and Trainspotting, respectively. You might like these, same type of "smut" and some of my more prudish friends have called david, augusten, and chuck

Ooh books yay! I am reading Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. Has anyone read Percy Jackson and The Olympians? I would love to give those a look-see.

Done with Bel Canto: I know it's a more literary novel focusing on the bonds that form between the terrorists (most of whom are teenagers and have never been exposed to stuff like opera and the lifestyle the people they take hostage lead, so getting to know them is an eye-opener for them) and their captives, but I wish there'd been a little more "action", i.e., a little more about what plans may have been taken to negotiate for the hostages' freedom (I'm spoiled by the political thrillers I like to read).

Now starting in on a block of winter-Olympic-themed reading: last night I started A Medal of Honor by John Morton (about biathletes); after that it's gonna be pretty much solid figure-skating books (there's not a whole lot of fiction about other winter-O sports, unless it's kids' or young-adult stuff; or else I'm just gonna have to read more non-fiction) until the end of February

"A Gesture Life", by Chang-rae Lee is a book I am working on for fun, because my friend was sent an extra copy and told me I'd really like it. Other than that I'm reading about 5-6 other collections of short stories for my college class.

I am currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I agree with KTFaith05, it does start a little slow, but now things are starting to get really interesting. I think I may do some reading today in fact.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Kitchen Confidential! I really want to read Bourdain's fiction as well.

I'm currently reading The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. I have two of his other books, In Defense of Food and Food Rules waiting for me after that. I'm really liking The Omnivore's Dilemma so far, but it's a lot of information to take in!

I've been doing quite a bit of reading since Christmas. I already finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I liked them both, but I wasn't really a fan of either one's writing style. I don't like when books switch POV.

I actually read the latter because I'd watched the movie and liked it. I was surprised by how much more disturbing the book was!

I just finished it last night so right now I have nothing to read. I got a 15% off coupon for B&N in the mail, so I'm off tomorrow to pick out something new. No idea what yet...
