    I'm just wondering what you groovies are reading. I'm finishing up A Game of Thrones and I'm about to start a new book called The Secret History. I just need it to be the weekend so I can have time to read.

    Donna Tartt? Never read her, how are you finding it? They did a TV adaptation of one of her books in the UK, Tipping the Velvet, which was really good. But I never read the book. Secret History is a BIG book!

    Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

    I love Neil Gaiman and I love Terry Pratchett, but I didn't enjoy this book as much as each of them writing alone. But it was fun.

    Oh i love that book did you read american gods?

    I did - and Ananasi Boys - I've read all Gaiman's novels and just read The Ocean At The End Of The Lane, his newest - which was short alongside his others, so felt like a canapé when you're ready for Sunday Roast - I wish he'd write another!

    Great Expectations. I'm on a classics kick.

    I LOVE ****ens - my favourite ****ens was always The Pickwick Papers, which is ace if you can time it so you hit the Christmas bit at Christmas! I started it in October last year and got there by Christmas Eve, then read A Christmas Carol before going back to finish.

    I read Great Expectations at school which ruined it. I re-read it recently and it really is brilliant, definitely his best!

    Fun. I refuse to go anywhere 50 Shades, I just can't do it. I'm sure I've written better erotica. But you might be entertained by The Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice. It's more fanciful than realistic but it's got some fun BDSM scenes and is a very fun world to get lost in. The Story of O is also on that list but it's not nearly as good as people make it out to be.

    Have recently just read (within the last week):

    Tess Gerritsen's "Last to Die"
    James Patterson's "Kill Me If You Can"

    Now trying to decide between starting Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" or James Patterson's "The Murder of King Tut".

    Les Miserables is in my top 5 all-time favorite books. I LOVED it. Of course, you'll want to kill yourself by the time you finish, but in that good way.

    The Complete Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Glass Houses by Jane Haddam, and Compelled by Love by Heidi Baker . Holmes is my lunch time reading on my Kindle App. Glass Houses is a brain candy murder mystery and Compelled by Love is for my women's group at church.

    Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns.

    What's that about?

    I haven't started The Secret History yet, but I know it's about a group of college history students who form a secret society lead by a professor and then from there it gets all deep and dangerous according to the back of the book and the friend who suggested it.

    Haven't taken it out the bag yet. A lady at the gym gave it to me, let you know when I start reading.

    It's a pretty good look into, introduction to and how to begin guide to BDSM. Widely acclaimed among practioners there of.

    I've got 3 books going currently. Ahabs wife-Sena Jeter Naslund; The Rules Of Dreaming-Bruce Hartman; and Fifty Shades Of Grey-E L James

    Fun. I refuse to go anywhere 50 Shades, I just can't do it. I'm sure I've written better erotica. But you might be entertained by The Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice.

    I've read the Beauty trilogy several times. Only reading 50 shades because so many Vanillas I know have read it and keep wanting to discuss it.

    The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien. :)
    Just finished My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl!

    I tried to read The Silmarillion but just couldn't keep to it. Thought it might be a bit interesting but just found it to be very dry history and as boring as parts of The Old Testament.

    Someone left that at work in the lost and found so I read it, normally not my bag, but I finished it a week because it kept my interest.

    Hmmm, well my gym membership just became weird. Surprised that she didn't ask me if I read the book or not.

    And thanks for the top on the other book, I might be getting an education.

    I'm reading Lolita for my first time around. I knew the premise beforehand, but it's bothering me a lot more than I had anticipated...

    Fantastic book. After I read it, I was absolutely confused about all the people who describe it as a love story and actually took away from it that she seduced him. Ridiculous.

    I was really impressed with Nabokov, though, because his insight into the affect that had on Lolita was incredible for the time.

    Anyway, I decided to push myself past my ASOIAF book hangover and started Peter Pan last night. I don't know how I got to 36 years old without ever reading it, but I'm fixing that now!

    Love Zen!

  • Making my way through Leslie Kaminoff's Yoga Anatomy, and loving every page! Also attempting to get into that book that Rowling wrote under a pseudo, but am a little ashamed to admit it hasn't hooked me yet.
