    i am attempting (for the fifth time) to read Wicked. Since i havent picked it up in two weeks........ not sure if im going to EVER finish it

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who's had trouble getting through that book. I've tried multiple times, but it always goes unfinished!

    ipicked it up butwas told to skip it and go see the play instead. They said the book was terrible

    3001 The Final Odyssey. The last of the the Space Odyssey books. They get progressively worse, but they still keep me preoccupied. I love the world 2001 created.

    Just finished The Invisible Ones by Stef Penney, just started Bloodline by Mark Billingham, couple of favourites are Bel Canto by Ann Patchett, Run by the same Author, and anything by Kate Atkinson or Michael Connolly/Connelly (can never remember how to spell it.
    Traps for Library users - getting settled on the train for the normal hourly commute, opening the book and starting to read, only to discover with horror after the first two pages that ... I've already read it! Very long trip.

    In the past week or so, I've read Sharon Ashwood's 'Ravenous', 'Scorched' and 'Unchained'. HOTTTTTT. They gotta go back to the library soon though.

    I keep picking up and reading stories from Robert Blake's 'Tales of a Rascal: What I Did for Love'. Available on Amazon. Yes, the actor Robert Blake, that one.

    You know what's horrible? I'm a die-hard Tolkien fan since I was a kid, and 'The Children of Hurin' has been sitting in my bookshelf since I bought it. Must be a couple of years now. :embarassed:

    The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. I LOVE IT!! (I'm on Good Reads, Courtney Wachob)

    I'm a ninth grade English teacher and I teach this book. I cry every time we read the ending together...in front of my 30 fourteen year olds :)
    This is one of the most memorable books I've read in recent years - for another perspective on WWII, I also recommend Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.

    I've had that problem too - my memory is so bad though that it often takes 100 pages for me to realize it seems familiar. Coincidentally, I started reading Bloodline too but mine is by James Rollins. And I've enjoyed books by Michael Connelly and John Connolly :).

    I'm reading Scapegoats of the Empire (the memoir on which the movie Breaker Morant is based), but I'm having what seems to be my eternal crisis when it comes to books, I'm 4 chapters in and already want to start another one...I just bought Horse's Neck by Pete Townshend, should be a lot of fun to read. Usually I'll just put down the first and start the next (terrible! I know), but this time I'm really going to try to stick with it.

    Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending.

    Next up, something lighter..

    This was one of my favorites. I've also recently enjoyed novels by Jonathan Coe & Mark Haddon. I guess I'm on a middle-aged British guy kick.
