'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett was a very good read. I'm considering Steve Harvey's 'Act Like a lady, Think Like a Man' ...

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.


Absolutely brilliant.

I am reading A Song Of Ice and Fire Series. I am on book 4. It is sooooooo good. they are pretty long but so addicting. Also in a few weeks the HBO series based on the books starts. SO excited!! I have a Kindle and am always reading now. I love it!!

It would be better if it was ever finished LOL

I hope the HBO series is better than what they did with the sword of truth series because legend of the seeker sucks bad

I'm reading Unbroken, and it is SOOOOOOOOOO good!

I am usually not a fan of non-fiction, but I really enjoyed this book. I certainly learned a lot when reading it!

I know, me too! I never read non-fiction, but this book is constructed with such an intriguing story, it has me glued.

Just finished God is NOT Great by Christopher Hitchens, was amazing.

I have been reading War and Peace for a year and I only have 20 pages left so I feel like I have been left out of the reading scene lately! I have a stack of books to read when I finish W&P but I also second the rec's on Middlesex and have heard good things about The Help and Girl with a Dragon Tattoo and that trilogy. I have read a lot of Jodi Piccoult, I find it compelling but frustrating sometimes. Also, I might be the only person who didn't like Eat, Pray, Love. I thought it was boring and poorly written.

3 books - My Daily Bread, Revolution in World Missions & Tortured for Christ. I'm going to start reading Don't Know Much About History next (I love watching Jeopardy & need more answers) LOL

I usually only get to read books I really enjoy during the summer because the rest of the year I'm reading text books but my all time favorite books are Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen (it's also being made into a movie releasing in April) and The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly... I highly recommend them.

I'm reading MFP Posts lately. haha


I really need to find a good book and read it, but I tend to sit down and read and get nothing else done. And I'm busy doing that here lately.

Crave by J.R. Ward. It's the 2nd novel in her Fallen Angels series. I've also read and love her Black Dagger Brotherhood series as well.

I'm on the second book of the Hunger Games trilogy.

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Great book.

My Mom told me about this book and I loved it, too! It was fascinating to see how she grew up and still really made a successful life for herself!

I'm reading One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde, Full Dark, No Stars by Stephen King, and Bran Hambric: The Farfield Curse.

Are any of you on Goodreads.com? I love that site...it helps me keep track of books I want to read and what my friends are reading. I'm a middle school lang arts teacher, so I have a mix of YA novels and grown up stuff on deck most of the time.

The Human Story by James C. Davis. It skips alot of the evolution stuff and goes right into civilization. So far, I like it. But it does lack alot of detail and contains alot of opinion. Still, worth finishing.

Kings, Queens, Bones and *kitten*: Who's Who in the English Monarchy from Egbert to Elizabeth II, by David Hilliam, and Raspberry Vinegar, by Joan Fern Shaw (the latter, while fictionalised, is based on real events and experiences in my extended family during the '40s - the author is my maternal grandmother's cousin!). I always have a novel and a non-fiction on the go at the same time, I loooove reading.

I'm "trying" to read A clockwork orange for my book club but can't get past the 2nd page. It sucks! :bigsmile:

The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. Great book.

I read it a few months ago; so amazingly well written, though it left me with a sort of lingering melancholy for a few days (that's not a bad thing, I love to really *feel* a book).

I just finished reading The Lovely Bones. I loved it, and thought the movie was pretty good too. I'm also waiting on the next Sookie Stackhouse book, and a few others to come out.

I have finally gotten around to reading Middlesex and it is wonderful. Next on my list is Children of Men.

Middlesex is one of my favorites! I'm now reading Cutting for Stone and it is awesome! It is a great story with lots of medical/ surgical backdrop and references. Love it.

I'm currently reading The Postcard Killers by James Patterson and listening to Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke. But I love anything by James Patterson, David Baldacci, Janet Evanovich, Mary Kay Andrews, and Jennifer Lancaster.

Just finished The Postcard Killers. It was pretty good! I also LOVED the Left Behind series. I read them all in a month and a half. I am Number Four was good.

Tamstar1985

i am re-reading stephen king's pet sematary, a tale of two cities, and ivanhoe. new reading is a collection of sherlock holmes tales in japanese and english! ok. i love reading a whoooole lot...

sarahs440

Oh and anything Jodi Picoult. She is my absolute favorite author of all time. 19 minutes is amazing!! I am waiting for her newest one to come to the library!

yea i heard the last book feels SO unfinished. And I also heard that Martin keeps putting off writing the last book. but maybe since the HBO series is coming out, he will get his but in gear. Was Legend of the seker HBO too? I am actually really happy they are making a TV series instead of a movie. They shouldn't miss much this way... and who better than HBO? Man just talking about it is getting me totlly stoked I really hope they don't botch it.

:bigsmile: Reading rocks. I'm always on the look out for suggestions so thanks to all for posting.

I read the the Sookie series too, I think the last two weren't so great.

But I digress. Currently I'm reading Suzanne Brockmann's The Unsung Hero.

I need to head to the Christian book store and buy some more books. I've read all my books that I have at home. I just started reading Spiritual Warfare For Every Christian by Dean Sherman. I borrowed it from my daughter. I've read the Left Behind Series. Those are great books.

Have you read The Shack??? I loved it sooo much!

Also Quest for the nailprints is supposed to be great also. It comes out in Paperback on Friday. The first chapter is available online too.

No I haven't read that. Who is the author? I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.

I loved The Shack! Great book.

The Shack is by Wm. Paul Young...OMGosh it's probably one of the Best books I've ever read. It teaches you about Forgiveness. It changed My life literally. You can get it at Wal Mart in the Christian reading section for about 12 dollars

I thought it was different and I am glad I read it, but I thought it was a little too weird in some parts.

I am reading The Wise Man's Fear. It is the second part of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. If you like fantasy novels, they are both amazing.

I have been reading Women, Food and God, because it was recommended in a MFP thread and my sister let me borrow it. But I don't think it is that good. I am almost to the end, but I am kind of sick of it, so yesterday I started a Barbara Delinsky book that I have had around the house. I also listed to books on tape and am just finishing a John Jakes one that was "so so". A month or so ago, I listed to an Odd Thomas (Dean Koontz) book on tape and read another one. I hadn't realized there were multiple Odd Thomas books. I enjoyed those.
