    I just finished Sphere by Micheal crichton (Not sure about his last name. XP) I'm working on another book by him but haven't gotten far. Haven't read fifty shades of gray but going off of that, maybe you could try 'Comfort food'? It's a similar genre by Kitty Thomas. My friend told me to read it and I definitely was not expecting that kind of book based off the title. haha. But I'll admit, it was really good.

    I might give it a try eventually. I heard it seemed like a teenager wrote it, lots of repetition, and the sex scenes were just more laughable? :P I'll check into it more.

    haha ya, well the main character is 22 and inexperienced, it was alot of repetition as far as the countless sex scenes but aside from that I really liked the story line that went along with his lifestyle, lots of twists and turns and slutty crazy ex girlfriend/submissives LOL

    I'm reading Angelology by Danielle Trussoni.
    The prologue had my rapt attention from the first paragraph. I was blown away by the style of writing and how articulate this writer was. The words were beautiful to boot! Before this book I finished the Hunger Games trilogy, which I liked. Except that I feel like whenever a book was reaching it's final chapters the writer decided to rush the ending. The endings always felt weird.

    Good Read.

    This is one I'm reading over the next couple months. Currently listening to the audiobook Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (helps me when I drive and when I run...now I can't wait to do both), and reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

    I absolutely LOVED that book. Read it over a weekend, staying up half the night because I couldn't put it down. I hope you like it.

    I'm gonna be the oldie and multi-tasker here -

    I am reading
    - Frankstein by Mary Shelley (when I have breaks at work)
    - Inheritance by Christopher Paolini (when I am a restroom break at home)
    - Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux (when I'm at the pool tanning)

    And yes, I can keep the plots and characters separate.

    Ahhh, I'm reading Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen :)))) I love this book! It never fails to make me laugh...and I've read it over ten times!

    It's about a woman whose husband throws her off a cruise ship (literally) and essentially how she gets back at him for it after surviving the time at sea. She's rescued by a hermit and his neurotic doberman; the entire thing is hilarious, because Hiaasen manages to make all the characters entirely separate (classy Joey, the main character, for example, versus the slightly ridiculous but surprisingly insightful half-wit assassin/bodyguard, Tool.)

    I told myself I was going to read the Millennium Trilogy and Hunger Games over the summer... but I just bought the new Augusten Burroughs book... so they will probably take a back burner

    I am reading the self help book Unique Ability. It explains how we all have a unique skill no one else has that comes naturally to us. You even ask for feedback from others to help you determine your unique ability.

    I read about a hundred pages yesterday...got really into it...can't wait to get started on the next section tomorrow. King is kind of hit and miss for me, I either love his books or can't get past the first few chapters...I think I'm gonna really like this one, though.
