    March is actually pretty good. Hunger Games was a popular young adult/ teen trilogy a few years back, once they start making the movies it gets bumped up again. :smile:

    Reading the Foster Wallace bio. Trying to. :wink:

    *edit, forgot the "how" again - cloth binding. case binding. Hardcover! that's it.

    I'm reading George Orwell's book "1984". It's amazing. :) I'm not reading on a kindle or anything - I like to read the old-fashioned way, lol.

    Just finished Shelters of Stone by Jean Auel (sp). Made me want to go to my book shelf, pull out Clan of the Cave Bear and start all over. Wish she would decide to continue to write the adventures of Ayla.

    I've probably read 1984 more than 20 times.
    It's my favorite book, I love George Orwell.

    I'm apparently on a historical romance novel kick right now and am about to start the 5th book in the Hansen series by Kris Tualla. After that I might reread The Hunger Games to refresh myself for when the movie comes out. But if I don't then I'll probably just choose a book at random on my Kindle since I get a handful of free ones every day and my Kindle is totally replacing my physical book library. Hell I'm even repurchasing books that I physically own just so I can have them on my Kindle. It really helps when you're in the military and move a bunch to just be able to have your library with you all the time.

Now I'm reading Never Let me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul by Jason &Crystalina Evert. And how? Well Wicked and Never Let Me Go were paperbacks and How to Find Your Soulmate is hardcover :)

    I read that title and was a bit confused until I figured out that you meant "what format?".

    I refuse to read books on electronic devices, so it's real books all the way for me. Right now, I'm reading:

    In The Woods by Tana French
    Spooner by Pete Dexter
    The Fortress Of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem
    Dog Blood by David Moody

    I also just got my shiny, new BBC versions of the first two Sherlock Holmes books in the mail.

    Took me a bit to get it too. I read hard cover. Robin Cook is my author of the moment along with Anne McCaffery.

    Silly me was gonna say when I am taking a nice bubble bath or relaxing before bed

    I started one more time the "Foucault's pendulum" by Umberto Eco. I 've started it almost 3 times before but never managed to read more than 100 pages. :noway:
    This time I will try to be more dedicated, and try to find out why so many people like it! :laugh: :laugh:
    I think I'm having the same trouble as I had with Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" where I couldn't remember all the names!!!!:grumble: :grumble:

    LOVE this thread!! I don't normally read more than one book at a time, but for some reason, I have several going now.
    Read the Hunger Games series last year and loved all of them so i decided to try some of her other books. I just finished the series The Underland Chronicles also written by Suzanne Collins. It's probably a middle school reading level, but I really enjoyed it and finished all 5 books in one weekend.
    Also working on World Without End by Ken Follett. LOVED his Pillars of the Earth!!
    I'm pretty much always working on some part of Tolkien and am currently re reading The Hobbit for the billionth time!!
    I am reading them on my Kindle which, much to my surprise, I love. I will never give up my actual books and I still read them also but I like the convenience of my Kindle.
    Thanks for the new book ideas I have gotten from this thread...Amazon thanks you also for my shopping spree!!

    LOL, I was gonna say "upside down in bed". That actually happens more often than I'd like to admit.

    Oh, and I'm also reading a book about krav maga, but I consider that more research than actual reading.

    Most versions of One Hundred Years have a "family tree" posted on the first page, it helps. :smile:
