Just curious what latest book you are devouring? I'm always looking for a great new book!!

Right now I'm reading Catching Fire, which is the second book of the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins! It's been sitting on my shelf for the past year because school reading has taken precedence over reading for pleasure, but now that I'm into it, it's REALLY quite good!

Share away!

    I'm reading "Troubles" by J.G. Farrell and John Banville. I guess it's part of a trilogy... I picked it up for 99 cents as a Kindle daily deal :) It's pretty good - but a bit weird.

    If you're into the Hunger Games trilogy, definitely check out Veronica Roth's series! Only the first two are out so far, Divergent and Insurgent, with the third due out sometime fall 2013. I LOVED the first two and cannot wait for the third!

    i have been trying to read 50 shades of grey to see what all the fuss is about, but its horrible. so i'm reading the story of o, just so i can read some good s&m literature to rid my brain of the bubble gum pop crap that is 50 shades of grey.

    story of o is infinitely better. its a great book, i highly recommend it.

    Right now, I'm reading "A Promising Man (and About Time, Too)" by Elizabeth Young. The jury is still out as to whether it's good or not.

    If you want a couple of really good reads, check out two vintage novels by Marlys Millhiser -- The Mirror and The Threshold. The first is about a young woman and her grandmother who unwillingly trade places in time through a mirror. The second is about a woman who discovers a rip in time in an abandoned mining town and her interactions with a young girl on the other side. They're both beyond amazing.

    I was reading 1Q84 but had to take a break for my brain to adjust and am now reading Gone Girl, which is very good so far.

    I'm reading Born to Run and its really good.

    I'm listening to the wheel of time series on audio book but its a huge series.

    The Hunger Games is a good series, read it not too long ago. I'm a huge book nerd so I won't go into detail about my recent reads, it would be a decent list.

    Been delving into some classics. I'm reading Dracula at the moment and I think I will read Frankenstein next. Check out Gutenberg.org. Free ebooks! Edited to add that I just finished Peter Pan.
