    That does sound interesting! I think you just decided what I should be reading :-)

    Just finished "Divergent" and "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth.

    I loved the first one. The second was okay.

    Just finished three books - Kathy Hepinstal's "Blue Asylum" (a major disappointment - so much promise, so little delivery), Tom Rachman's "The Imperfectionists" (not a very good read, sadly) and Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" (quite a good read, if not a bit meandering in the first few chapters).

    I love Bag of Bones!! If those two other books you wrote about didn't have poor reviews from you I would check them out. Would love to hear another one of your favorites so I can check it out.

    I enjoyed "Bag of Bones" a lot - it's been a long time since I've read something from SK. As for some of my other favorites, I'll give you a few:

    "Wonder Boys" by Michael Chabon
    "The Journal of Best Practices" by David Finch
    "Riven Rock" by TC Boyle
    "Bloodsucking Fiends" by Christopher Moore (it's hilarious!)

    I'm always looking for something new and good to read - have any ideas/recommendations that I could use?

    I can't be too much help - I've moved twice this year and seemed to have misplaced my box' o' books but the ones I have on hand which I really enjoyed are:

    Stephen King's - Lisey's Story - I read almost all of his books when I was younger and Lisey's Story and Bag of Bones were departures from his usual schtick - that I really really enjoyed (there was another one but I read it years ago so I can't recall the name).

    Lolly Winston's - Good Grief. This might be too much of a chick book for you (it's about a woman coping with the loss of her husband, similar to Lisey's story but nothing Stephen King about it).

    The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran - not so much a story as a bunch of separate writings but still really good.

    Also I held onto a copy of The Giver by Lois Lowry - to be honest it's been years since I read this one but I wouldn't have held onto it without reason (I hope).

    I'll be checking out the books you mentioned so I can re-stock my formerly fabulous library - thanks!

    A Game of Thrones

    A Dance with Dragons (found Game of Thrones a tough one to get through but kind of snapped into it about halfway through)

    The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff (I think this is my 4th time reading it)

    Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder is worth a look as well
