What are you reading?-April 2010
 

Another month everyone! Please share what you are reading.

I have The Blind Side up next. Been meaning to read it before seeing the movie.

I'm reading You Suck by Christopher Moore but I've just realized it's a sequel to a book I read a LONG time ago so I'm going to leave off with this one and pick it up after I re-read the first one.

I'm also the last person to get around to reading Julie & Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julia Powell. I'm sorry I waited to so long.

"Peony in Love" by Lisa See. An interesting Chinese ghost story. I will be reading "Shanghi Girls" next by the same author next.

Out of Africa - Isak Dinesen - I've only ever seen the movie.

The Friday Night Knitting Club - Kate Jacobs

Bitter is the New Black - Jen Lancaster

And I'd like to get my hands on a copy of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Cruise Confidential

Still reading The City & The City, but I only have my e-book on loan from the library for another day, so I'm going to have to finish the last 100 pages today. Next in store is Dark Places, and I have a couple "real" paperbacks to read once I'm done those two.

I'll be cruising this thread for a while. Been wanting to read something but not sure what. I did see Shanghai girl the other day, wondered how that was. With 3 little ones in toe its kinda hard to stop to read the cover page on the book. ;)

Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut, still working on Hotel of Irrevocable Acts by Carl Watson, and about to start Emma by Jane Austen

Drop Shot by Harlan Coben

I am working on Codependent No More by Melody Beattie - might have to read this one twice - I think up next is the last Twilight Book (again). I would also like to finally read The End of Overeating - it's been sitting around for month!

I have a couple of more chapters left in The Blind Side. :)

A Storm of Swords - George R.R. Martin (3rd in a series A Song of Ice and Fire --Fantasy Genre little on the dark side)

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

Pretty Woman by Fern Michaels. I saw this on the thread about weightloss fiction. I'm about halfway through. I wish she had fleshed out the characters a bit more, they seem a tad cardboard, I don't get a good sense of them; they are just there.

I'm reading Stephen King's "Under the Dome" on my Kindle and Chuck Palahniuk's "Lullaby" via audio book. Both are great so far.

Right now I'm reading the newest Vampire Diaries book. I started reading them because of the show, but I think this is one case where the book isn't better. The original four from the 90's were okay, but the two new ones have been a rough read.

I just finished reading "The Book of Negroes" by Lawrence Hill. Amazing book about the slave trade. Also, just finished "The Girls" by Lori Lansens; fictional autobiography of two sisters conjoined at the head. Funny but sad; inspirational.

Now starting in on Malcolm Gladwell's latest book "What the Dog Saw".

And I'd like to get my hands on a copy of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.


CharlieBaby "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is an awesome book...The sequel "The Girl Who Played with Fire" is even better. I can't wait until "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest" comes out! So sad that Steig Larsson died before he could finish the series.

Just finished with Dark Places, I liked it over all, but the ending didn't seem very strong. I'm reading The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks now. My boyfriend's mom handed me a stack of books to borrow when we were over there for Easter. I picked the right guy for many reasons, but it's just awesome that his mom works in a bookstore.

Currently reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls and after that I'm going to read the new Jodi Picoult book, House Rules.

I'm onto Dexter By Design now. After that I have a few lined up. I loved the first two Dexter books, wasn't too fond of the third, it seemed to me to go too far out of the realm of the first two, the fourth seems back on track though.

I'm reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay.

One you can't put down.

I agree Clydegirl, I read Sarah's Key in like two days.

The Finishing School by Michelle Martinez

Juggling 3 books at the moment. Just starting Blood Brothers by Nora Roberts, also reading The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks, and The Zombie Survival Guide: Compete Protection from the Living Dead by Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son)

I just started the 'Sword of Truth' series by Terry Goodkind (the TV show Legend of the Seeker is based on these books)

Reading "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides, one of my book club selections. It's absolutely terrific! I am forcing myself to read it slowly.

I have the zombie one but haven't read it yet. Let me know what you think about it when you finish it up, please ♥

I am currently reading Social Psychology by Floyd Allport. Have to write a 2000 word essay on it about its influence on the history of psychology. Its actually quite interesting.

bex, you're a girl after my own heart. I love Psychology. I actually take Psych classes for fun at the local community college.

I am starting to read a book called Women, Food and God by Geneen Roth. Has had great reviews, and Oprah gave it high marks.........so we will see!

Im listening to Angelology by Danielle Trussoni right now on audioboook and reading Paper Towns by John Green on my kindle. I follow John Green on youtube (he vlogs back and for with his brother--they are both very nerdy and hilarious) and I figured I would pick up one of his books out of curiosity and I have to say that it's just as funny as he is!

Tonight start The Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen

I'm reading..wait for it...MY TEXTBOOKS:dizzy:

Cannot wait for my semester break when I can read some REAL literature...I love love looove reading, always have. Just counting down the days till I can pick up a good juicy story and get lost in it for hours:D

Has got to be in my top ten favorite books. You'll love it.

Reading a few books for my classes, but my personal reading currenty is Ulysses - James Joyce. It's a bit of a monster, and I have a feeling that with papers coming up, it's going to be into June before I can finish it.

Matter by Iain M. Banks

I am starting Women Food and God too, I read her (Geneen Roth) column in Good Housekeeping magazine and like her style, I have not read any of her others. Pam

Still working my way through The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks and The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks, but also started Shutter Island on my Sony Reader (easier to read at night with that and a book light when boyfriend is sleeping).

Right now I'm reading Lipstick and Blood by John Kearney. Not sure what's next on the list yet.
