I seriously need to break down and buy that book. I've heard nothing but good things about it and I have yet to snatch a copy for myself.

I'm currently reading a total airhead book, but it's relaxing when I'm on the train to work. Remember Me? by Sophie Kinsella. She's a total guilty pleasure of mine!!!

I will admit to having an addiction to romance novels, primarily Regency-set historicals. They're totally my guilty pleasure. My favorite authors include Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Celeste Bradley, and Candice Hern. Anybody else read them?

Im re-reading sense and sensibility by Jane Austen

Its a great story. I personally liked "The Kite Runner" better, but a Thousand Splendid Suns is quite good as well. It just took me a little longer to get into and a bit longer to finish. I read The Kite Runner in like, 2 days I think.

That's not an airhead book - that was a great read! I couldn't put it down.

I'm currently re-reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.
I HIGHLY recomend it to everyone out there who loves a good book filled with suspense and unending twists in the plot.

Just finished Divorcing Dwayne. (Review is here.) Now, while simultaneously reading Abraham Lincoln and the Union by Oscar Handlin for history class, I will start Ringside 1925: Views from the Scopes Trial by Jen Bryant, also for a book review.

I got bored one night and finally decided to take the plunge and I am slowly making my through --- War and Peace --- I figure I might finish this year sometime lol , who knows.

I can't believe it took me this long to find this thread.. I LOVE to read.. OK, One new book i am reading right now is "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. It's pretty good so far.. For those of you who like Dan Brown, I stumbled on to another author who write books similar to Angels and Demons, etc.. His name is Steve Berry, I am rereading The Amber room, and also The templar Legacy, he has maybe 6-8 books out now, i believe.. Also, whoever was reading Phillipa Gregory, those books are great too! I love how part of the story is based partly on fact, and partly she has to fill in the blanks with what many people Think happened. Also will start to read Harry Potter again, I can't help it, it's an addiction

I just finished "The It Girl" two days ago.

I finished Remember Me and I'm now reading Candy Girl by Diablo Cody. It's a memoir she wrote before Juno came out. It's quite interesting.

LOL...me too. For like the 5th time. I'm totally addicted to her novels. Pride and Prejudice gets me every time.

Woot...my kinda thread! LOL

I'm always reading! Usually more than one book at a time. One for home, one for work. Currently, at work, I am reading "Eclipse," the third in the "Twilight" series...and very impatiently waiting for the movie this fall. At home, i am re-reading "World War Z," which I highly recommend to any genre fan. A fun, interesting take on the whole zombie uprising/human-zombie war scenario. Never read anything like it.

Yes, I have an eclectic taste in books, I know.

Yes! I finally finished Abe Lincoln. Whew! That's a weight off my shoulders, that's for sure. I'm checking out Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" now.

aside from the fanfics?

what we ache for by the oriah mountain dreamer

angels & demons by dan brown. i seriously need to finish reading it because i want to get started on to kill a mockingbird.

Damn, that Coraline was one freaky ass book.

Now reading "Inquest on Imhotep: Beyond the White Walls" by Derek Adie Flower for a book review.

Oh I loved Angels and Demons. I'm really glad I read it before I read The DaVinci Code because it helped with some of the backstory.

I just picked up Twilight by Stephanie Meyers, but I haven't started it yet.

I just finished "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin. It was cute.

Now I'm starting on the sequel "Something Blue".

These wedding books make me want a wedding... not quite yet though

It's actually pretty easy for me. I just choose books that are completely different genres so I can't get the storylines screwed up. But thank goodness the first summer session is over, 'cuz now my book count is down to 3.




Oh yeah, I guess I should've specified that I was re-reading them, but I love this series. I can't wait for Breaking Dawn.

Can I just say yay for twilight, again?

And I just finished Harry Potter 7, for the 6th time, and am about to read harry potter 6 for the 10th.

i just finished a book called "Bet Me" yesterday morning, and it was awesome. I loved every page of it. I highly recommend that book. It was the first book I have actually had time to sit down and read in a long time.

The Ruins-Scott Smith(yes it is the book the movie is based on and no I haven't seen the movie yet)

I am currently reading P.S. I Love You

At any given time I usually have 5 or so books going at once. But the summer session of school has been really hectic so I've had to cut back.

I'm half way through Doctor Zhivago and once you learn the names the book doesn't seem so hard. At first I was confusing all the characters.

I must have been living under a rock because I discovered the Twilight series on another website just three days ago and I bought a copy of Twilight. My friend with me was telling me how they show the filming of the movie every week on TRL and I had never even heard of it. Since I began reading it I haven't been able to put it down. It's incredibly romantic for being a "teen" series. I keep imagining Edward Cullen as Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance. I don't know why, I think it's the way he's described and his personality.

Another book I'm reading is Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It's an amazing book that's beautifully written. I don't even care for motorcycles but I find the book captivating.

not reading any atm but i just finished reading "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk... who is my hero.

English Proficiency Instruction I by Evelyn Sebastian

- Our English book. O_o

Currrently reaeding

"Pigs in Heaven"

dumb summer school reading....ugh.

I LOVE TWILIGHT TO!

I'm in the middle of reading two books.

Dean Koontz - The Good Guy
John Connolly - The Unquiet

I just started them, but so far they are very good.

I just finished reading Founding Mothers by Cokie Roberts and now I am reading Selected African American Writing from 1760-1910.

ive moved onto 'the memory keepers daughter' by kim edwards. so far so good!

I'm reading Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella. Came out a while ago (its what Field of Dreams) is based on. One of my all time favorite movies, so I figured I have to read the book. its great so far. Different from the movie too

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Eat-Pray-Love... the first book I've read in a while...

I must admit that this site has diverted my attention A BIT... but I'm a book-lover from way back. I've also added the book David mentioned in his Seattle Times interview to my wish list at Amazon - "lullaby" by chuck palahniuk - he also mentioned another book in an old blog, but now I can't find where that was posted.... if anybody remembers, let me know - I'd like to add that to the "gotta read list" too.

editing to add: thanks to annie702 - in case you're curious - the book is This Book Will Save Your Life by Am Holmes - off to add to my Amazon wish list....

LOL! The same thing happened to me. I was about 50 pages in to Tuesdays with Morrey back in March, but then my OCDCD kicked into full gear and like your novel, my remains untouched. In fact, I took out the bookmark. I am going to have to start over another time....maybe this fall.

My primary love for novels are crime novels. I love James Patterson....all the books with Detective Alex Cross (Along Came A Spider, Kiss the Girls, Cat & Mouse, etc).






I swear, Canadian Cookie, YOU AND I ARE THE SAME WOMAN! We have SOO much in common. Dean Koontz ROX! Intensity was the first book I read by him...a couple of years ago...I plan to read all his novels. I just started Mr. Murder a couple of nights ago. I finally started reading again after my 5 month hiatus due to this massive DC distraction I have had going on.....

On my wishlist now.

i just started a book for summer reading called The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. only read 3 chapters so far but it seems pretty deep:)

and OF COURSE.....Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer is coming out August 2nd!!!!!! obsessed with the Twilight series!!!!!<3

Finally finished "Inquest on Imhotep". Wasn't that bad, but nothing to scream about. Now I'm starting "Somewhere in Heaven: The Remarkable Love Story of Dana and Christopher Reeve" by Christopher Andersen.

Positive Options for RSD. The only book I've been flipping through lately. But I finished Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About The Bike: My Journey Back to Life" biography a little while ago. I've read it 340953095 since the 8th grade and that book will never get old. <3

ok, well harry potter was mentioned here a bit in this thread, and i just want to throw in my two cents by proclaiming my undying love affair with this series! my absolute favorite of all time. period.

with that being said, i'm currently "thumbing through", "are you there vodka? it's me, chelsea" by chelea handler, and is the funniest book i have ever read! i highly recommend it, if you aren't easily offended, that is!!!!!

Just finished "Somewhere in Heaven" and may I just say wow. So heart-breaking and emotional, definitely a great recounting of a beautiful relationship.

Heading in the direction of a little humor now with "Git-R-Done" by Larry the Cable Guy. I can always appreciate some good, redneck humor.

Fourteen pages in and I'm bored already. Go figure. Instead, starting "It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy" by Greg Behrendt.

finished my sister's keeper....its amazing

I just finished "Punish the Sinners"- John Saul now I'm starting "The Church of Dead Girls"-Stephen Dobyns.

Starting "Rock Stars on God: 20 Artists Speak Their Minds on Faith" by Doug Van Pelt. A bunch of interviews highlighting the spiritual views of Tom Morello, Nickelback (of course), Metallica, and a bunch of others. I think I read it once a while back, but I forgot it.

I just finished "Something Blue" sequel to "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin. Really girly and I loved them!

Now I need to read her other two novels!

The Terror, by Dan Simmons. Abominable snowman FTW!

Okay, 250 pages in and that's what it seems to be about.

I'm reading Atonement and The Kite Runner for school
i haven't read anything else in a long time.

Just finished "The Kiss" by Kathryn Harrison (very psychologically disturbing), and am now starting "Swine Not?" by Jimmy Buffett. I haven't read a funny book in a while.

Now reading Frances Burney's "Evelina" for my 18th Century Lit class. I'm really enjoying the novel so far! It's kind of like a precursor to the works of Jane Austen.

I've just started reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Zafon

seems dark but was told it is a romance book..
