I didn't like it. I loved A Suitable Boy. I read that he has written a sequel called A Suitable Girl, I think. Not released yet. He's still editing. I hate it when a writer you like takes years and years to write a book.

I am reading The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements. So far, it's entertaining.

The Walking Dead, Vol. 1 (1-6 issues) a graphic novel by Robert Kirkman

Strangely, for me, this is a really good read.

EmJay · 02-17-2014, 02:06 PM

I haven't opened a book in so long but seeing this thread really makes me want to start a new book. I love reading, it puts me in my own element and relaxes me

a great way to end my evening too. *wanders over to my bookshelf*

I picked this book up after seeing this author interviewed. She's a wonderful storyteller. I've only read one of the stories so far but it is fascinating. I'm going to work on finishing this up.

I remember reading this way back when (uni days).

Such interesting stories!

cinnamongrrl · 02-23-2014, 09:09 AM

I am currently very engaged in Captured by Indians~15 Firsthand Accounts 1750~1870
The entries offer a great deal of insight into the (then) unblemished culture of early Native Americans.
The only downfall; they are original accounts...I can adjust to the vocabulary of the day...but some of the authors were just better writers than others. I muddle through the ones that dont write as well. The stories are still very interesting.

A book called "Life after life."

I am reading Innocence by Dean Koontz

and his Odd Thomas books are cracking also especially with a nice cuppa

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

No Harry Potter anywhere near this book. Reviewers have called this book dull, but I'll read it anyway. I think I can't expect to keep her on a Harry Potter pedestal and should go into this book not considering her previous fame.

Sane New World: Taming the Mind - Ruby Wax (going to see her speak on mindfulness and brain science in 3weeks as a result of this book)

The Brain that Changes Itself; Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science - Norman Doidge (the book that inspired Wax to go back to education and get her Masters degree from Oxford)

anaisninja · 03-17-2014, 02:37 PM

Still struggling through "The Celestine Prophecy."

Making Money-Terry Pratchett

His work is just a hoot.

willow · 03-31-2014, 06:28 AM

Just started, The Hunger Games Trilogy.

silkepus · 03-31-2014, 07:24 PM

Ive spent the last two days reading The Well of Loneliness by Radclyffe Hall, it's 3 am and I just finished it (and I have to get up in less than 4 hours argh, why did I not put it down)

Either way, I hate it. And I love it. Why! Why did it have to end like that! Why Hall! How could you!

Tomorrow is going to be balls. Not only will I be tired I'll be constantly haunted by the ending

LaDivina · 03-31-2014, 07:45 PM

I just finished Anne Bishop's Black Jewels trilogy a couple days ago (for the 23421978th time) and am almost done with The Invisible Ring, from the same world.

Greco · 02-23-2014, 07:04 AM

Yes, I have heard that "A Suitable Girl" is not yet out. As for "An Equal Music" I found the writing, the plot, and of course I "heard" the music throughout this story. His novel "A Suitable Boy" I also liked but not as much.

Now am reading Nikki Giovanni's "Chasing Utopia: A Hybrid"

It is beautiful, sad, and heart-warming for me, and a G_d send.
