I'm back reading James Patterson's Alex Cross series...way behind.
Right now I'm reading I, Alex Cross and have no idea at the moment how many more he's written since that one. |
I recently finished
http://ec5.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg I really, really liked it. I am currently reading No Mercy by Sherrilyn Kenyon and anxiously awaiting the latest Charliane Harris Sookie Stackhouse book as well as the next Jacqueline Carey Namah installment. |
I've just finished 'The Imperfectionists' by Tom Rachman
It was enjoyable but quite slow and ambling. Now I have several books that I started but wasn't immediately taken with.. I used to have a rule that I would read at least the 1/3 of a book, and if that point I still wasn't in to it - I could walk away from it. Now I seem to have a shorter attention span. Any feedback on this list? The Night Watch by Sarah Waters Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz |
"Star Begotten" HG Wells

i loved the Crimson Petal and the White---you need to give that a try, there entire first chapter is set in the second person....its short but it drew me in and i thought the book was very interesting...its main protagonist is a victorian prostitute....very good book |
Living in End Times by Slavoj Zizek

The end of the term is a week from Wednesday. Which for me means I can read something other than A & P II stuff. I have loaded my Color Nook with some wish list items and have many paper books I hope I can make a dent on in one weeks time before next term begins. Wish me luck? I have some titles I would like to share but can't remember them off of the top of my head. Happy reading everyone!

I got a ways in to it. I'm usually a big fan of any literature set in London, and the premise of this appealed to me, but I wasn't really drawn in. I know it was a well liked book when it came out. |
Finished Thirst - Volume 2, slowly trudging through the Autobiography of Mark Twain that I haven't been able to read all semester. And have now discovered that I apparently packed the plethora of other books on the "to read" list, so Twain is all that's left. :|

I just read Juliet, Naked and I liked it a lot. It helps if you have lived with music snobs tho |

Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac
I think I like it better then OTR. Now if only I could get Big Sur and Desolation Angels in. |

I'll try that story again. I do love Nick Hornby. Thank you. |

Its free in the android market place. |
I just finished Pillars of the Earth and will now begin
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón |
Pasta and Politics by Vincent Cianci Jr......former mayor of Providence. Funny guy. |
Dewey by Vicki Myron
The Cat Who Could Read Backward by Lillian Jackson Braun |
The Brothers Karamazov and The Idiot, Dostoyevsky
|
In Suspect Terrain, by John McPhee. I think I enjoyed this more the second time around. John McPhee writes about geology in a way that makes it come alive. If you live in the east or are interested in geology, this non-fiction page turner might teach you a few things you didn't know.
