I've read a million little pieces. I liked it a lot and it provides an insight to an addictive personality, some of which I can relate to! I think that book inspired me to start off on my weightloss efforts in earnest (don't ask me why!) again!
I've got Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell but I found the writing style hard to get on with! I might pick it up again soon. Kate, I love that Bill Bryson, I think I've read it about 4 or 5 times already! But I'm currently reading The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy. I've got a Dickens and some other classics to plough through too! But I do love Hardy the most! |
I've just about finished "WIcked" , about the wicked witch from wizard of oz. I love this book. It's a lot different than I thought it would be. A very enjoyable read. Normally I don't go through 350 pages in two days.
It's not the most hard core though provoking book but there are aspects of it that really do make you think. |
I'm trying to finish up "The Face" by Dean Koontz. It isn't going as fast as I thought it would but I hate to not finish a book just cause it gets slow in spots. I just finished "The Wedding" by Nicholas Sparks. I think I read that one in like a few hours!

I'm currently reading the "Chronicles of Narnia" series by C.S. Lewis. I recently finished "Wicked" and want to read "Son of a Witch" next. I also recently finished "Needful Things" by Stephen King. I think it is one of the few books of his I had not read.
You could call me a readaholic.... |
Right now I am reading "True Believer" by Nicholas Sparks. I love all of his books!!!

New Read....
The Testament By John Grisham |
I am reading "The Chronicles of Narnia". I love fantasy and mystery books. I also enjoy Stephen King books and anything on the history of Mount Everest.

I love Anne Rice, too. I have all her Vampire and Mayfair witch series.
I just got her new book which is regarding Christ. I am really curious on how she will deal with this story. Cyl53 |
I'm reading A Million Little Pieces. I am about half way through, and I absolutly love it.
2frustrated-The book in some way seems to have helped me with my weight loss as well oddly enough. |
I am reading Tuesday with Moorie--just started!
|
I just got "Origin in Death" by Nora Roberts (writing as JD Robb). I aslo like James Patterson. Two really good, but different books I really enjoyed this year were the "Kite Runner" , sorry I can't remeber the author which is a really good story about two boys that grew up together in Afganistan and the other was "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane who also wrote Mystic River which was made into a movie a few years ago. Shutter Island is a mystery and the ending is awesome...if you read it don't cheat and read ahead so you will not see it coming.

I'm an avid reader too, usually with a couple books going at a time (to fit different moods!). Along with lighter fiction, I tend to pick "themes" in nonfiction and read about 6 books in that theme. My current theme is Climate Change so right now I'm reading Mark Lynas' _High Tide_. I'm also reading _Tales from the Scale_ (fun) and _Calorie Queens_ (makes sense to me but based on my current calorie consumption and weight loss, they're 12 kcal/pound is not a good guesstimate for my current metabolism) since I'm just starting on the diet/exercise changes and I need the motivation (a couple of you have me sold now on Frey's A Million Little Pieces). I just finished _Falling Awake_ by Jayne Ann Krentz and _Democracy Matters_ by Cornel West.
