I'm reading Stephen King's "On Writing". I'm using it as a tool to help me with writing my book. I'm also reading "Emma" by Jane Austen.

where do you download books from?

www.audible.com

I buy a package that includes 24 credits for about $220 so less than $10 a book. iTunes also has mp3 format books.

I just started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but am having a really hard time getting in to it.

SweetPandora

I was just given The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from a co-worker. She raved about it!

Hang in there- when you get to page 57 is starts to tie together and then you will not be able to put it down.

Nelson DeMille's "The Lion" a sequel to the "The Lion's Game". Good murder, suspense, mystery books.

I am re-reading Anne of Green Gables, and still going through Mary Magdalene: Christianity's hidden Goddess. I am also re-reading some of my For Better or For Worse comic treasury books, they are so funny it makes me forget it is so hot! We are in the middle of a heat wave being pushed in by Hurricane Earl, which is expected to hit off shore early Saturday morning.

Hi All,

Anybody ever read Jean M Auel's series. She's writing a sixth book thats out next year. I absolutely love these books I re-read them every year and a half. I've never found anyone thats read the series though which is a shame. I'm so excited about the new book. I can't wait to read more of Ayla's story.

Themes - Prehistoric, Strong Women, Invention, Survival, Fitting in, Spiritual, Mythical.

The Clan of the Cave Bear, 1980
The Valley of Horses, 1982
The Mammoth Hunters, 1985
The Plains of Passage, 1990
The Shelters of Stone, 2002
The Land of Painted Caves, 2011

I'm working on the shelters of stone right now, and of the entire series so far, it's the one I CAN put down. I'm just not that engaged as I was before. Does the Land of Painted Caves get better?

jez838

Its not out yet but I'm really looking forward to it. I agree that the Shelters of Stone wasn't as page turning as the others. It wasn't as exciting as the Journey books. The new one will be the last story. I also watched the film Clan of the Cave Bear with Daryl Hannah. Its terrible. It just doesn't work on screen.


Spoiler Alert - (Synopsis below)



THE LAND OF PAINTED CAVES concludes the story of Ayla, her mate Jondalar, and their little daughter, Jonayla, taking readers on a journey of discovery and adventure as Ayla struggles to find a balance between her duties as a new mother and her training to become a Zelandoni – one of the Ninth Cave community's spiritual leaders and healers.

I just started "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" by Carrie Vaughn. So far I'm enjoying it. Just love werewolf and vampire books.

Currently re-reading wuthering heights. Love that book, you start to see Heathcliff's redeeming features after the first time. At first he appears to be a right *kitten*, but you understand him more each time you read the book!

My dad and sisters all read these ones, i have tried but never really got into them.

Currently i am reading Anne's house of Dreams (#5 in the Anne of Green Gables series), and one called "Moving Out', it is about hints and tricks for people out on their own for the first time, co-written by Lynne Johnson, who wrote the "For better or for Worse' comics (although i have been out on my own for years, i still like re-reading it once in awhile, it has some funny parts). I also picked up '1001 household tips and hints' this week, so i am going through that.

If i looked around, i am sure there are a few more i have on the go to...it always seems i have a book in each room and one at work!

I will eventually get them read. I always ask my clients with stuffed book shelves there favorite authors/books and this series has come up several times.

Just started "Kitty goes to Washington" book 2 in the werewolf series by Carrie Vaughn... I really like the series. If you like "Twilight" and/or "Bitten" women of the other world, you'd probably like this series as well. Also reminds of Katie MacAllister aisling grey series... Enjoy.

I'm currently trying to read "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green.

But it's happening at a really slow pace thanks to school work.

I have read The Husband by Dean Koontz. it is his best in my opinion. When i find a compelling authour i seek out all their books. I'm stuck a 45 minute bike ride from the library, at the mercy of a driver (my husband) who thinks books are a waste of time. I want to go back to reading the Bible, and I'd like to compare it to the Q'uran. Ugh it was hard enough to find an english transltion Q'uran online, and even then you gotta enter the specific verse for it to pop up, you can't read it front to back. How can I do that, i don't even know the names of the books of the Q'uran. still I am curious what it says. I suspect that terrorists, both muslim ans anti-muslim, are twisting it, I'd like to see the source. In the meantime I'm intermittently reading the driver's manual, got to get my own license. .

Right now I am reading 'The last child' by John Hart, it's very good.

I'm currently 2/3 through Twilight Eclipse (who cares if it's aimed at teenagers??!) My 11 yo daughter wants me to hurry and finish it as she's just finshed New Moon.

I found "the Girl with the dragon tattoo" a struggle to start with and ended up loving it! I just finished Jodi Picoult's "Picture Perfect" I love her books. Now I am reading a trashy novel (Louise Bagshawe - Desire) before starting the next one in the GWADT series...

ZebraHead

Just finished Stephen King - Under The Dome. A hefty read but very enjoyable. Some of his better 'recent' stuff.
