The China Study for health and Stephen King short stories for soul :)

I read a lot of fantasy books and sometimes romance. I read a lot of books by indie authors these days. At the moment I'm finishing off the Memory's Wake trilogy.

I haven't had any luck trying to start my own but thank you for the suggestion of looking for an online one! I hadn't thought to do that. :)

I read the China Study after someone in my family went vegan and really enjoyed it. I thought maybe it would be too dry and over my head but it was very informative.

Just loving this thread; hope we can keep it going fellow readers!

I'm still forcing myself through fifty shades of grey..
Otherwise I've recently read and LOVED Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett, and am reading the sequel in between fifty shades of grey, world without end :)

luckymommy:

No, I never read "Presumed Innocent", but I did see the movie and really liked it. Not sure why I have a tough time wanting to read a book if I've already seen the movie first? One of my favorite movies is "Pride and Prejudice". My husband bought me the book years ago and I still have not read it. Maybe I will try it once I finish "Pearl Moon". I know the books are always way better than the movies!

AshliRose, I can totally relate to not wanting to read a book when I've already seen the movie. I watch Game of Thrones and don't feel like reading the books, which are so highly regarded. I did read that particular book after seeing the movie and I still enjoyed it, but I think you should skip it. I do recommend the author's (Scott Turow) other book called One L...it's about a first year Harvard Law student. I read it so many years ago (when my husband was in law school) so maybe that's why I found it to be interesting but I thought I'd mention it anyway.

Love to read
 

I love to read and find when I can get in that routine it keeps me from night eating. It seems that my downfall is TV and snacking, so reading helps me get away from that. I am getting ready to start 'A Walk in the Woods' by Bill Bryson.

I'm re-reading the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. First time I read them was pre-smart phone; this time I can conveniently Google the (many) references I don't get.

Somehow I missed Millon de Floss the first time through and cracked up when I saw the name last night.

I'm currently reading-
-The Hypnotist's Love Story, Liane Moriarty (just started)

-The Favored Child, Philippa, Gregory(Wide Acre Series book 2) I highly recommend if you like period pieces and aren't easily disturbed! The first in the series is Wideacre

I've read many of the books you guys are reading now! I love reading! I'll skim the list and see if there's any I can pick up. Thank goodness for the library or I'd be So poor! :)

I just bought Sherlock Holmes for my daughter a few months ago. She enjoyed it. My favorite's The Hound of the Baskervilles.

I also read a lot of "old stuff." My favorite book of all time's The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Also a big fan of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jules Verne, Upton Sinclair, H.P. Lovecraft, Ray Bradbury…too many to list, really.

Some of my more modern favorites: The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, His Dark Materials (Golden Compass) series by Philip Pullman, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, the Abarat series by Clive Barker. I also like anthologies like The Best American Short Stories, The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy, etc. Great stuff in those.

I've been on a YA kick lately (and read a good bit of it in general). Ones I've particularly liked recently: The Fringe series by Tarah Benner, the Covencraft series by Margarita Gakis, and Broken Symmetry by Dan Rix (I think it's free on Amazon right now).

Reading The Reach by Nate Kenyon right now. It's a psychological thriller, with possibly some supernatural elements. Picked it up at a used book store a few months ago, and just getting to it now.

re-listening to Dreamcatcher by Stephen King

I am reading Brian Lumley's Necroscope series at the moment, it is horror/fantasy genre. I have read the series about five times before but this is the first time on kindle.
