Im reading "after the quake" by Haruki Murakami. Hes probably my favourite author, theres just something so relaxing about his style of writing, yet intelligent and quirky at the same time. Its not his best book, but im still enjoying it.

What are you reading and whats it like? would you recommend it?

I just finish Anvil of Tears (E.D. Lindquist). I liked it. If you like fantasy, sci fi, or Firefly you'd probably like it (and it's free for Kindle)

I'm reading "Caring for Patients from Different Cultures" by Geri-Ann Galanti for a class..... I hate reading but the book is very interesting.

I have just finished 'The White Queen' by Phillipa Gregory & just about to start ' What Was I Thinking" by Paul Henry - its his memoirs & a great read so far. Great man.Very intelligent.

I quite like Haruki Murakami, but haven't read any of his books in a while. I also read 'The White Queen' and really enjoyed that. We read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo as one of our Book Club choices, and most recently 'The Help' which I loved. 'What the Dog Saw' and 'Outliers' (Malcolm Gladwell) were interesting too. We read 'The Gravelyard' by Neil Gaiman, but to be honest, in the past I didn't really enjoy his books. That one was quite good though.

It would be good to have some new ideas for Book Club, so I will be sure to check back on this thread!

I'm right in the middle of "The Busy Woman's Guide to Murder" by Mary Jane Maffini. It's the latest in the Charlotte Adams series that features a professional organizer. I enjoy the sense of humour throughout. And yes, I am a busy woman but no, I do not intend to murder.

I found that after 80-100 pages of the Girl With The Dragon Tattoo it does get more interesting! At first I was like, what are all these people going on about!? But it gets better. It is quite... graphic in some parts, it is not a book I would recommend to my mother, and one of the more conservative women in our group hated it! It eventually becomes a page-turner, so stick with it.

The Help was fabulous, wasn't it! That IS one I could recommend to my mother.

I'm in the middle of a couple of books:

The Ramshackle Suitor - Nancy Butler (my book for when I'm waiting, easy pick up/put down)
The Idiot's Guide to Creating Amigurumi - June Gilbank (bedtime reading)
Fermat's Last Theorem - Simon Singh (for when I have a chunk of time to myself)

just finished The Other Boleyn Girl and I'm starting The Boleyn Inheritance...both by Philippa Gregory....love her style of writing,,,couldn't put it down. Reading at 2 in the morning.......good books while I'm down with a back injury....and keeps me from eating

I just started Wicked by Gregory Maguire. The musical is coming to my town next month and I want to see it SO bad!

Divine Evil by Nora Roberts...wouldnt recommend it...not my kind of book.

ravenclawseekergirl

I'm reading the curious incident of the dog in the night time by Mark Haddon for the second time. I'd recommed it to anyone... although it's aimed more at children it's beautiful. It's a murder mystery where the main character is a boy called Christopher who has Aspergers Syndrome. The book is made even better because it's told from Christophers point of view.

For entertainment purposes: The Gunseller by Hugh Laurie
This is a decent book so far, Laurie certainly is a man of many talents and his writing isn't terrible, but his acting is better in my opinion. I recommend it though.
For educational purposes: Kirkpatrick Signature Series Reader (a real page turner let me tell you-not).

I'm finishing up "The Inner Circle" by Brad Metzler. It's a political thriller, conspiracy theory, secret societies....very exciting!

That is a great book and a wickedly awesome show. So far my all time favorite, but I'm going to see Les Mis later on this year!

Well it does have a few situations that might cause problems... like when Christopher finds the dog, the policeman and Christopher running away to find his mother. I'd say pre-teen, teen. Though i could be read by younger, as you can tell i'm not very good at advising ages because i had a larger than average reading age as a kid. I mean i read The Lord of the Rings when i was 9 so... It might be better for you to read it first and then decide wether it's appropriate. The book gives a really good insight into the mind of a child with Aspergers.

I am STILL reading Sherry Turkle's "Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other.''

It's taking me forever to read, because I can never find the time!
