I've heard they're all very good books.

I've heard that too. I'm only interested in reading the first 3. I LOVE the movies.

I just finished up 'The Lost Symbol' by Dan Brown and I am gonna start on 'While My Sister Sleeps' by Barbara Delinsky

last week or so I've read the first eight Sookie Stackhouse (TrueBlood) books ^_^

yes, I'm a speed reader :P

those are easy books to read. i love them all.

finished confessions of a pagan nun it was excellent but very sad, which i was expecting.

i'm on john connelly's "the gates" which apparently is a young adults book which i figured out a while in, it is hilarious and dark and fun and i am absolutely loving it. i loved his book "the book of lost things" and this has a similar, but more lighthearted, feel to it.

The Believer by Gabhart
The end of it dragged on and on..but it was an OK treadmill book.

I just started reading The Clockwork Angel.

It's the 1st book in the new Cassandra Clare series "The Infernal Devices"

Hi,

I like these threads. I am always looking for new titles to read. I love John Irving also. I almost bought his newest but went with Barbara Kingsolver's The Lacuna instead. I am currently reading Tolstoy's War and Peace. Almost finished. I am not sure why everyone makes such a big deal about the length. It couldn't be any worse then The Lord of the Rings trilogy wh ich tons of people have completed. Anyway,I loved W & P and am now into anything Russian. Any suggestions?

What do you think of it so far? I'm re-reading "City of Bones".

So I started the first Sookie Stackhouse book...and it's really annoying. I mean, I keep hearing Anna Paquin's voice doing the narration. And even though I like the show, her voice is really annoying to me. I'm not sure I can continue reading it.

Not sure if this quite fits the bill, as it was originally written in English, but I'd recommend Nabokov's Lolita if you haven't yet read it. I also liked Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky, though it's a bit depressing. And I haven't read this one yet, but I saw the movie based on it, and it was really good, and I keep meaning to check the book out: The Captain's Daughter by Alexander Pushkin.

Hope this helps! Do you have any Russian suggestions besides W&P?

I always hear whats his face say "Sookeh" whenever I read the books. He bugs me.

I'm reading The Paris Vendetta by Steve Berry and right now I'm at a part where a bunch of all-powerful movers and shakers are having a secret meeting at the Eiffel Tower, while at the nearby Invalides (for those not familiar with Paris, that's a veterans hospital complex including Napoleon's tomb) a possible bomb threat is being checked out. [Twilight Zone theme (dee-dee-dee-dee)] As I type this (15:08 CDT 09.14) the Eiffel Tower has been evacuated because of a bomb alert [/Twilight Zone theme]

That's funny! I kind of like how he calls her Sookeh--to the point where I tried to convince my DS to name his new kitten Sookie! But it was a boy kitty and he thought Sookie sounded too Asian.
