What are you reading Oct 2012??
 

A new month, new books to share. Please share with us what you are currently reading. :)


I'm a couple chapters in the 3rd book of 50 shades.

I am reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini who also wrote "The Kite Runner" I have just started it but so far I am enjoying reading of a culture very different of ours.

I've read the full 50 Shades trilogy and I liked the first two books the best. The third was good, my mother blasted through them and made me read them :lol:

Anyways I just finished up the 5 Love Languages and am about to pick out a Frank Peretti book my mother in law gave me. Can't remember the name though, I'll double check.

I'm reading the newest Dexter novel (Dexter is Delicious), and also Scarlet Feather.

Pyramids, by Terry Pratchett.

He is always good for what ails you!

I am reading "Revolutionary Road" by Richard Yates. I saw the movie a few years back and loved it and have wanted to read the book ever since. It's dark, I know, but I'm glad I'm finally reading it.

The Kindness of Strangers = Mike Mc Intyre restores my faith in humans

Zoo by James Patterson. I LOVE James Patterson! :)

Just finished The Chaperone which I loved. Starting My Berlin Kitchen: A Love Story.

The Skinny Rules (Bob Harper)
and I'm thinking about re-reading one of the books on my bookshelf. Not sure which one yet.

Love him! I am reading The Great Husband Hunt by Laurie Graham. Which is nice and easy, and which I sort of enjoy, without ever quite loving it. There are some really funny bits and the narrative is... a unique narrative voice.

And The City and the City by China Mieville. I've read him before: Perdido Street Station and maybe one other, which I wanted to love but couldn't. Language and invention seemed to get in the way of the story, or perhaps the story just felt like a skeleton over which to lay all this weird invention. I'm not sure. I wanted to love it, but couldn't.

Oh, but The City and the City, I am loving. Particularly now that I am used to the made-up names language affectations and acclimatized. I want to go live in Besz (or Ul Qoma) and wander around unseeing everyone else. It is great, really well constructed, a nice noir voice that still feels contemporary and such a great, intricate invention. I love the way it plays on the intersection between eastern Europe and the west, too. And nationalism, myth, loads of other things. Really great.

I am reading a book called Pigeon English by Stephan Kelman, which is amazing, I am really loving it.

I am also re-reading Northern Lights by Philip Pullman for probably the 100th time.

And I am dipping into Food: The Good Girl's Drug and The God Delusion too. I like to have lots of books on the go!

I'm behind in the games...

I'm on the third book of the Hunger games..

Ahhh, I really loved those books! Actually they're what made me start running a few months ago, so that I would survive a bit longer if I ever had to participate :D

How are you liking them?

I *loved* the Hunger Games I just finished all three last month...I really didn't think I'd even LIKE them, but my daughter bought the movie and I was hooked.

Right now I'm reading Divurgent (fiction) and The Swing (by Tracy Reifkind, kettlebell workout/diet program although I'm not on that diet). I think I'll read The Cloud Atlas next for fiction.

ETA: How do you like Food: The Good Girl's Drug? I've had the first part on the Kindle forever it seems.
