I like to read while im on the treadmill, especially when its a page turner. I just read Learning to Swim- by Sara j. Henry. Awesome book. A woman on ferry notices something being thrown in the freezing water from another ferry going the opposite direction. When she notices it was a small child that was tide with a sweater. Why would anyone throw a small boy in this freezing water? Very good read. What book have you read?

    I read anything school/thesis related, which for me is a lot of Children's Literature. You should see the stares I get when I head to the treadmill with my 'Harry Potter' or 'The Hobbit' books. I recently finished 'The Hunger Games', which was a really quick read.

    I read those books anyway, and I am not in school, nor do I have kids. I love Tamora Pierce, too.

    I'm currently reading I, Partridge, We Need to Talk About Alan the autobiography of (fictional character) Alan Partridge. I don't normally read autobiographies but Alan Partridge is perhaps the best comedy character ever created and I laugh out loud at every page.

    Usually I read more modern classics. Before this I recently read To Kill a Mockingbird, A Clockwork Orange and Burmese Days. George Orwell is my favourite author. Some of my favourite books (not just his) are 1984, The Great Gatsby, Fight Club, One Hundred Years of Solitude and The Glass Palace (by Amitav Ghosh, brilliant author). I generally like books that span generations, are set in forgein countries or are gritty/thought provoking. I've currently got about 20 books on my bookshelf that I want to read!


    Can't say I've ever read a book whilst exercising though! I don't think I'd have enough focus.

    I am currently reading the Hunger Games trilogy. I have been having a difficult living my normal life around finishing the books. On the final book in one weeks time. They are great!

    I know very few adults who haven't read those books. I would be very surprised if people think that's odd.

    I just finished "A Game of Thrones" and started "A Clash of Kings".

    also, to the OP:
    what book have you read?

    I have read many, many books. I don't think I can enumerate them all here.

    Anything by Jodi Picoult! I read My Sisters Keeper (book was better than the movie) and fell in love with her style of writing. I've read four of her books this summer. A Change of Heart, Handle with Care, Salem Falls and Nineteen Minutes. So far my favorite one is Nineteen Minutes. Always page turners, so hard to put down.

    Right now I'm trying to read One Day by David Nicholls. I'm having a hard time getting into it. After I finish it I'm going back to a Jodi Picoult book, I think The Pact.

    My favorite is Stephen King. The Dark Tower series is such an epic tale.

    Another man worth looking into, if you haven't already, is the deceased Stieg Larson and his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Very exciting three books.
