    Recently retired from teaching language arts and instead of reading student's essays, I'm reading what I want. Currently reading Cuckoo's Calling which I would recommend. Hardly ever watch television as I prefer books.

    Hi! 'Im Lill from Illinois. I literally just finished Silver Linings Playbook IT WAS EXCELLENT!!! I never see the movie when I read the book...they are never as good and the character details are so lost! I have alot of everything on my Kindle but on a rainy afternoon I crave the comfort of a good old fashion paper book.
    I love Janet Evanovich and Patricia Cornwell..polar opposites but thats the way I read!

    Hi everyone I'm Denise!
    I've been on Myfitnesspal for awhile now but I'm just now realizing that there is so much more to it! I had no idea there were groups on here! Anyway, I'm an avid reader and I always have my kindle in tow! I have a very long commute on a NJ Transit bus so it keeps me sane. I really like crime/murder mystery books, and I also read personal development books. And even though it's not actual "reading" I'm obsessed with cook books, probably because I love food :) I look forward to any great suggestions!

    Hullo there!

    I'm Rob and I'm an alcoholicl^W reader.

    Anyone on goodreads? I have a profile there: http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/449771-robert

    Um.. I like pretty much every genre.. but lately I've been reading Atwood's newer trilogy (Orxy & Crake etc) and some Jhumpa Lahiri. I adore her, she was just in Seattle.

    I kinda hate e-readers but have a nook and kindle. Last time I moved I had 17 boxes of books so I'm "evolving" on that position as the politicians say.

    Anyway!

    Hey all,

    I'm Laura and I'm a self confessed bookaholic!
    I'm always reading and if I don't have a book with me I get a little anxious :)

    I also have a list of all the books I've read since I was 12 - I love looking back and remembering where I was when I read certain books.

    Here's my goodreads:
    https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/4975010-laura?shelf=read

    I read pretty much anything - classics, biographies, travel writing, young adult, fantasy, chick litt - anything and everything really.
    Happy to give recommendations etc.

    Looking forward to some book chat.

    I'm Brad, and I've recently regained a love of books. I don't often get to read. I'm an audiobook kind of guy. Audible, and the county library are my friends. I'm currently listening to Game of Thrones, and the Steve Jobs bio. Both great books!

    When I'm at the gym, I prefer to listen to books rather than music.


    I love the idea of listening to books while working out! What a great way to get your book time and workout time in, I'm so going to try that, Thanks!

    Your so well read! I like to share a read with my teenage daughter, any good young adult suggestions? We've read hunger games, most of Rick Riordans novels, and of course the Harry Potter series, I checked out the link you posted but was unsure what was appropriate, would love to hear your thoughts

    I'm Addie! Like all of you, I love reading! Such a lovely escape. One of the thrift stores in my city has a huge, well organized bookstore inside and it's one of my favorite places... suffice to say I have a lot of books stacked up to read! :) Nothing better!

    I have a huge range of interests, but some of my favorite books/authors are: The Wheel of Time, A Song of Ice and Fire, Nora Roberts, Stephen King, Charlaine Harris, Outlander, Hunger Games, Harry Potter... I don't know why my mind is drawing a blank right now! I love bios and dystopian novels right now.

    You can add me on goodreads:

    OR add me as a friend here; as a new (returning) MFP member, I'd love some new friends. :) Thanks!

    I know this was for Laura, but I'm going to hijack with some suggestions anyway. :) The Divergent series by Veronica Roth, The Maze Runner series by James Dashner, The Fault in Our Stars by John Green, City of Bones series by Cassandra Clare... her is a good link for you:

    Hi everyone. I'm recently back on MFP and came across this board. I love to read and am always reading something. Currently, I'm reading "Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt. It was on Amazon's best books of 2013 list. I'll pretty much read anything. I have a Kindle, but have to admit that I still buy actual books for my favorites. Nothing makes me happier than looking at my bookshelves! ha ha ha I look forward to chatting with you as well as getting more recommendations (although my "to-read" list grows faster than books get checked off! lol)

    Hi, I'm Maureen, a book junkie. I began to juggle several books at a time within the past couple of years. Now I have my book club book, my pleasure book, a Kindle book, and audio cd in the car and an audio on the phone. I also spend a lot of time on Good Reads browsing for books, my to-read list is actually embarrassing since it would take me more than 10 years to work through it at my current rate....

    Hello, I am Maria. I read every day, currently "The Bostonians" by Henry James. It would be nice to exchange notes on that book. I find reading keeps my mind off food. Best wishes to all.
