I just started reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King.
I have been so wrapped up with the Anita Blake series by Laura K. Hamilton. Just finished her second last book in that series. I am waiting on the last one that should be coming to the library soon.....(if you enjoy vampire & wereanimals /erotic I suggest you check this out) My girl got me onto this series when we met over 3 years ago and I am ahead of her

I have just started reading Orlando by Virginia Woolf
Love it already and struggling to put it down. Love the way her writing transcends space, time and sexuality. I love the way she writes, daring and brave of her time. Full of blurred lines and the ever shifting male/female continuum. Can't stop moving forward but don't want it to end at the same time . . . . argh! Passion . . . breathy breath breathe . . . love it! Off to read some more, always moving too fast, need to slow down xx |

I'm currently reading two books as I'm want to do: one for my edification and one for pure pleasure. The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined, Steven Pinker, and A Dance with Dragons by the great bearded mountain, George R.R. Martin.

How the Irish Saved Civilization by Thomas Cahill
It is a fun read, I am Irish so the hyperbole is absolutely correct :wink: I am enjoying his trashing of bad imperial Roman poetry, as I have had to translate boatloads of it.

Just finished 11/23/63, Stephen King. SOOOO good. I think it's my favorite ever of his.
Also just finished, for my book club, Beautiful Ruins. It got wonderful reviews. None of us could understand. Hated it on many levels. Now reading, again for my book club, The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin.[ame="http://www.amazon.com/The-Orchardist-A-Novel-P-S/dp/0062188518"]The Orchardist: A Novel (P.S.): Amanda Coplin: 9780062188519: Amazon.com: Books[/ame] It's intense, really intense. Very raw. Then I need to add in a whole bunch of pre-reading/reviewing to plan for my daughter's curriculum next year. 9th grade! I plan to do a lot of historic fiction with her this year, which we both love. She also wants to read more on time travel so I'm going to re-read Octavia Butler's Kindred to refresh my memory before passing that on for her to chew on. |

I've just learned how to borrow books from the library for my kindle, and I've been reading a lot, mostly light stuff, about a book a day.
I've been reading John Grisham and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple books and various New York Times best sellers that catch my fancy! I just read a children's book by the author of The Ladies #1 Detective Agency, and I just started a Janet Evanovich book with different main characters than her popular numbered series. <-- very light stuff |

Just started reading the newest book published by Alfred A. Knopf publishers (Vintage):
Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed (March 26th, 2013) Hailed as the best non-fiction book of 2012 by The Boston Globe and Book of the Year by NPR, St. Louis Dispatch and Vogue, at twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother’s death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State—and she would do it alone. Told with suspense and style, sparkling with warmth and humor, Wild powerfully captures the terrors and pleasures of one young woman forging ahead against all odds on a journey that maddened, strengthened, and ultimately healed her (a brief introduction to Strayed's book provided by Amazon).

I'm reading book 1 in the "Game of Thrones" series.
I like it a lot, great writing, it's very evocative and it keeps moving ... but my god is it long. I might need to put it aside for awhile so I can actually read a few other books I have queued up for this summer. Question for those that have read the "Game of Thrones" series, is it worth it? I know that is a subjective question. It's a just such a huge time investment. I haven't had more than an hour a day, to read, for a couple of weeks; I don't feel I'm making a lot of progress with the book, I'm only 50% through book 1 after 2 weeks of reading. For the first time ever I'm tempted to skip the books and watch the television show. But I *know* I will get much more out of the book. I just can't decide if its worth it yet.

I have truly enjoyed the series, both in the book form and the t.v. show.
I read the books first and found like any other book series that has been turned into a t.v. show that there are things that seem to be forgotten. I have not seen this season yet but I will probably go back and reread them just to refresh my mind. Enjoy and happy reading... Quote:

Killing At The Cat by Carlene Miller
This is a Lexi Hyatt mystery about a murder taking place at a lesbian bar. So far an interesting read. This is the first book in a series of three, all the books can be read as stand alone.

I read Sum It Up, Pat Summitt's memoir and the last book in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Both were fine. I am shocked that people got all up in arms about Sookie ending up with Sam. He was not my favorite character, but certainly it was a predictable outcome.
