    Finished 50 Shades of Grey trilogy!!! ;)

    Doesn't really do anything for me, as it has a certain reputation to uphold, not a fan of that kind of thing....but when the film comes out!!!! lol

    What's on my bookshelf? Knicknacks and dust bunnies. We read electronically these days.

    I'm old school I love the feel and smell of the printed word.

    Same here. I'm currently wearing a shirt that has a bookshelf on it and says, "Books - No electricity required". :laugh:

    Where can I get one of those t shirts?

    I really, really like Jon Ronson's books. I think he is so funny and I like his "soft spoken" intelligence.

    Right now I am reading a statistics book, a book on schizophrenia and a book on experimental design. That's not my usual reading list but I have exams coming up!

    Love this thread. Added another couple to my list, and remembered to add The Kite Runner (meant to ages ago)

    Also just added a couple of Dexter books, love the series.

    Don't get much time to read these days, have 2 babies under 2 so my 'sitting with a coffee and my kindle' time is limited.... lol.

    50 Shades trilogy..... Urgh, just urgh! Don't get me started.... haha

    Hank Wesselman, Starhawk, some Stephen King, JK Rowling of course (um, how could you possibly lose interest in Harry Potter?! those stories are magical, man!), Patti Smith, Kingsolver, hmm...lots more.

    currently in the midst of "just kids". easy read, a bit slow. someone recommended to me "world war z", but i'm not big on zombies nor scary books. so, not sure i'll delve into that one..

    i really want to get into george r.r. martin's books - specifically the game of thrones ones, of course.

    I always enjoyed a little Stephen King, he was like my guilty pleasure, as for JK Rowling well I was into Harry Potter until the book came out where Sirius Black dies (dunno which one it was 3 or 4) and I rushed out and began reading it like a madman to find out WHO dies, as I recall it was a secret, well about 100 pages in I got a phone call from one of my brothers, and all he said was "Sirius Black dies" and put the phone down, well that killed my love of the potter books, sorry but I couldn't carry on after that...

    Lets keep this thread going. You good folks are inspirational, thank you for contributing so much!

    P.S Not one person thus far has mentioned the great Robert Rankin? So I shall....Robert Rankin books, especially his 'Brentford Trilogy' are superbly written and bizarre in the extreme and wickedly funny!...:laugh:
