I tried loading some stuff on my Kobo but I must have done something wrong. I will try again. I suppose reading the instructions all the way thru would help!
In the meantime I'm reading Anne of Green Gables.

Oh - also read The Help.

My Stroke Of Insight, by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D.

A neuroscientist's personal journey through her own stroke.

Fascinating stuff.

I haven't read Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker or Fifty Shades Freed but there is a tremendous amount of buzz! I just read an article where the author E.L. James says she's sold the movie adaptation already to Focus the folks who did Brokeback Mountain.

The House At Tyneford by Natasha Solomon


(Fans of Downton Abbey should enjoy this book)

Drift by Rachael Maddow- arn't we all! Just made NYT Beset Seller's list! Good for her!

Estella 04-06-2012 02:28 PM

Okay, Angela's Ashes had two strikes against it. One - I'm not particularly into Irish literature as a genre, and two - it was a movie. Fairly nor not, I tend to view books that are made into movies with a certain degree of suspicion - but only if I haven't already read and enjoyed the book. Right - mostly not.

But I was at lunch at work and desperate for something to read, and there was Angela's Ashes in the lost & found bin. Can I just tell you? - I couldn't put it down. Frank McCourt blew my socks off.

America living in illusion
 
"Empire of Illusion" by Chris Hedges

What a wake-up call...Greco

Martina 04-06-2012 03:41 PM

Just finished The Spellman's Strike Again by Lisa Lutz. Better than the last one. The one after this -- it's a series -- i heard was a big let down, so i hesitate to invest.

It's about a neurotic family of Private Investigators, and it's set in San Francisco.

Softly 04-06-2012 05:34 PM

I actually picked this book up today while I was at the mall. My friend told me, with a giggle, that I should read it. I read the reviews before purchasing, so I am not overly excited about reading it. I read that the writing is horrible. I am more curious about the BUZZ all around it.

I'll let you know my thoughts in a couple days! :)

exactly and thank you. I don't mind investing some of my free time to escape into fiction but I'd be pissed if I spent a few hours and money into trash. Some of these high buzz novels can be like that.

Julien 04-07-2012 06:34 PM

I just finished J.R.Ward's new book, Lover Reborn. Yes I like those vampire books. Escapist fantasy. I don't know what I'll pick up next. I've also been reading S.M. Stirling's The Change series. This one is a very good read. Enjoy everyone.

Halfway through "Under The Never Sky" by Veronica Rossi and loving it! (thanks for the recommendation!)

I like reading a lot, but am immensely into this dystopic/sci-fi fiction right now. Any other recommendations? I've read AngelFall by Susan Ee and Divergent, both excitingly different and excellent. Please, recommend away!

this sounded really interesting so i borrowed it yesterday
at first i was incredulous that someone (a brain scientist none the less) suffering a stroke and losing "pathways" to so many things would retain this experience with so much detail but the book won me over
i couldn't put it down
very information packed and still accessible reading
plus fascinating is right

thanks for sharing this find

i now have a completely different outlook on the childhood times i shared with my stroke affected grandma

wow, i just realized it's been awhile since i've posted in here :) my reading has slowed down a bit the last few weeks...

lately i've still been working through 'sex & disability'...
started reading 'health at every size'
and i'm halfway through 'the time traveler's wife' (borrowed it from my sis yesterday - i read half of it in the dr's office, that visit took like 5 hours yesterday, but it feels a bit like it's dragging to me so i don't know how long it'll take me to finish)
i've also been rereading 'the good and beautiful life' off and on for the third or fourth time.

aishah 04-22-2012 11:49 AM

okay, i made it halfway through the time traveler's wife on friday and i can't finish it. it's boring me to death. i don't understand why people love this book so much. i want to finish because maybe something magical happens in the second half (and my conscience will nag me if i stop) but...i just can't get into it. the writing is really pretty but that's not enough to sustain 500+ pages.

Toughy 04-22-2012 04:10 PM

mindless murder mystery dribble....

JD Robb (nora roberts) Eve Dallas novels

and

I forget the author....uhhh...Robert Lundlam I think.....Jack Reacher novels

also a Larry McMurtry (?) billy the kid novel

I'm so bad with names of books.....sometimes I never actually know the title of these mindless dribble books I read............

UofMfan 04-22-2012 04:36 PM

I'm obviously feeling like an overachiever:

A Game of Thrones

A Clash of Kings

A Storm of Swords

A Feast for Crows

A Dance with Dragons

The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, almost done... great book so far. It really is funny how we all deal with the trauma that happens in our lives.
Next up.. 50 Shades of Grey... E.L. James, what I have read is rather HOT...
