    Finished "Have You Seen Her?" by Karen Rose yesterday and it was SO good; the last few chapters I couldn't put it down at all.

    I'm now reading "Scream For Me" by the same author - I hope it's as good as the last one :happy:

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

    That book is Amazing!

    I've probably read it at least a dozen times and it gets better each time. Do you happen to have a copy with the glossary in the back? If not, that might be why you're having a hard time.

    Anthony Burgess is one of my faves right along with Kurt Vonnegut, Aldous Huxley, Philip Roth and Henry Miller.

    ....I "borrowed" my 10 year olds series of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" on book three (I know grow up right), but I'm enjoying them as much as I enjoyed the Harry Potter series.

    One of my favourite authors is Sherrilyn Kenyon (she writes pretty steamy though) and I love her Dark Hunter series. Also really like Karen Marie Moning novels and Kathy Reichs. But pretty much enjoy reading anything.
    When I get the opportunity I will devour a book.
    When I was going to the gym regularly I would get on the bike or the treadmill and read while exercising. Helped me because I would get so engrossed in the book that I would forget I was working hard.

    I checked out Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and The Scarlet Thread by Francine Rivers from the library. I'm waiting to read Leaving by Karen Kingsbury. Those books are so addicting.

    Pride and Predjudice is my all time favorite by Jane Austin. It's typical because I'm female, but I cn't help it. I love how she describes the characters and the Bennet family. Its a great combination of love storey, family drama/love, as well as taking you into another era.

    Currently I am reading SUN Magazine and just finished The Meaning of Matthew by Judy Shepherd.

    "Scream for Me", by Karen Rose.

    For anyone that likes crime/thriller I can recommend her; I bought one of her books randomly the other day and another one yesterday as well as taking out from the library :laugh:

    Just finished "The Falls" by Joyce Carol Oates. Later, I'll begin "Sweetness in the Belly" by Camilla Gibb.

    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.

    I love this site. Definitely helps when you need a suggestion for a good book to read.

    I just picked up Jodi Picoult's Sing You Home from Costco today. It comes with a music CD. It's raining and thundering outside so it's a perfect day for a good snuggle on the couch with a book and some tea.

    Also reading Tom Venuto's The Body Fat Solution and Mark Lauren's You Are Your Own Gym.

    Water For Elephants by Sara Gruen is also one of my favorite books.

    I'm in the middle of "And the Waters Turned to Blood" by Rodney Barker. It's great if you're a science nerd and love learning about new, interesing creatures. It's also a great way to begin understanding the mess between science and politics and how it can affect the public.

    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.

    Love, love, love Sookie. I thought the last book was the final book, and when I found out there was ANOTHER I was just too excited. Charlaine Harris created a great world in these books. Her other books don't come close to Sookie. I think she might be milking it by adding another last-last book.

    I'm another Jane Austen fan, especially Pride and Prejudice, I have about 10 P&P derivative books, some better than others.

    I'm also a total history nerds, so am reading about Mary Queen of Scots, and the lives of women in the 17th century by Antonia Fraser.

    Anything by Janet Evanovich.

    Just finished 'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabokov.
    I know its controversial but also one of those must read books. It's so well written. Just the way he uses words gives me goosebumps.

    Just started reading The Immortal Life OF Henrietta Lacks. Nonfiction about the black woman whose harvested cells have largely propogated most of the medical research of the last 60 years. Fascinating bioethics.

    Right now I'm reading John dies at the end by David Wong. Funny stuff in a Chris Moore, or A Lee Martinez sort of way.

    I just requested this from the library....and only because you mentioned Chris Moore and A Lee Martinez. Two of my favorites! :)
