    I can't even remember the last time I read a full book. I just can't find the time to do it. If I did I could probably squeeze out 30 minutes a day to dedicate to it. It would take me like 2 years to finish something, haha.

    I get my books in MP3 format from Audible.com and listen (instead of sitting to read) to them while I jog, drive for work, clean the house and do yardwork. It's the only way, I can get any reading done.

    My bookclub meeting is this week so I started Stealing Buddha's Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen. Don't listen to this book on an empty stomach - she obsesses over food:wink:

    I need to check out audible.com. I would love to listen to audio books while walking. I used to listen to them all the time in my car when I had an hour to commute one way.

    I just started reading "J is for Judgement" by Sue Grafton.

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I've seen the movie but never read the book. This year I got the 50th anniversary edition as a gift. It is beautifully written and I highly recommend this Pulitzer prize winning novel.

    I'm currently reading "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Even though I'm studying for a degree in Psychology...I absolutely love the history surrounding "the great depression". My mam wanted to borrow a book and she absolutely loved it, so I'm giving it a go! He's a great writer and I'm finding it difficult to put down at the mo! I have the film here ready for when I finish it :happy:

    Lonesome Dove :) It's been my favorite movie for years, and I've finally decided to read the book.

    It's amazing.

    The fourth book in Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series just came out so i am rereading the first 3 and then will read the final one.

    I need to do that too. I haven't read the 3rd yet, although I bought it as soon as it came out :laugh:

    I am just starting James Patterson's Run for Your Life and I am almost finished Kushel's Dart By:Jacquelyn Cary which is kind of a fatnasy type novel.

    I have been trying to go through my bookshelf and get rid of ones I wont read again, and figure out which ones I still have to read :laugh: :laugh: I didn't need this thread to let me know of all the other great books out there I need to add to my list :wink:

    This has always been my favorite book. I'm interested to see if Lonesome Dove will take the top spot or not...To Kill a Mockingbird is going to be hard to beat :)

    Thanks for mentioning the 50th anniversary edition...I've got to have it! :love:

    I usually have 2 or more books on the go, usually because i pick a hard cover one to keep reading at home or before bed, and a soft cover small one to take with me in my purse for waiting rooms, buses etc. Currently I am into:

    The Secret History of Mary Magdalene: Christianity's Hidden Goddess by Lynn Picknett.

    I bought this on on sale at the book store last weekend, the back peaked my interest. I was not raised in a religious home, but ever since i read / watched the DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons, the Knights Templar etc. has seemed interesting. I might just take a stab at the Bible next, my Dad told me it is something everyone should read at least once (and he is far from religious). I might just read it to get the other point of view.

    and

    The Hellion / Separate Beds / Hummingbird : Three complete Novels by LaVyrle Spencer.

    I am almost done The Hellion, i bought it at a book sale for 3 dollars. I have read a book (several times) by the same author called Morning Glory, which was really good, so far, this one is to.

    Happy Reading!!

    I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a great book, but the ending made me mad.

    Now I'm reading Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs. Phew! What a mouthful!

    For my bookclub, I have started physically reading "Her Highness' First Murder" by Peg Herring. She is a local author and this is her second book. I really liked her first book which was "MacBeth's Niece" a fictional story in the times of MacBeth. The current story center's around Princess Elizabeth... So far both are great reads.
