I'm more than halfway through "<gaining> the truth about life after eating disorders" by Aimee Liu as well as in the middle of reading "Blow Him Away: How To Give Him Mind-blowing Oral Sex" by Marcy Michaels.
Next up on the list is "A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose" by Eckhart Tolle" and picking back up from where I left off in "The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath".
And yes, I obviously read a variety of material

I don't suppose your next book after that one is a collection of Edgar Alan Poe's short stories?0 -

I have heard about the Book Thief, is it worth me checking it out, do you think?0 -
'Pastoral' by Nevil Shute; 'She's Come Undone' by Wally Lamb; several Asterix books. Am re-reading all of these for the umpteenth time, as spring is late in arriving here and one needs something of good cheer. And, what the hey, it's better for me than chocolate. Sort of.
Happy Easter...0 -

I have the 100 year old man book. I havent started it but I hear it is really good. Right now I am reading let's pretend this never happened by Jenny Lawson. It is hilarious so far and I'm only on chapter 2.0 -

You beat me too it, that is a fascinating mix of sources you have their!0 -
Currently reading "Moonwalking with Einstein" by Joshua Foer and all set to read "The White Tiger" by Aravind Adiga. Interested to hear what you think about "Frankenstein"... I found myself disappointed with it, somehow. Something about the writing style that didn't jibe with me. Hope you love it!0

I read a it a year or so back for University, but I figure I'd give it another, more leisurely looking over, after my current book is finished, there is an exhibition of dark romanticism on at one of the museums in town and I figured if I read this again it would get me in the mood for some spooky artwork? As soon as I have digested it again I shall give you my thoughts...Enjoy your books, "Moonwalking with Einstein" sounds interesting?...0 -

Oooooooh I loved the Asterix books! Hope you enjoy (for the umpteenth time) and the weather picks up for you soon!
Happy Easter to you too!0 -
I have the 100 year old man book. I havent started it but I hear it is really good. Right now I am reading let's pretend this never happened by Jenny Lawson. It is hilarious so far and I'm only on chapter 2.
I really enjoyed it, I know some who hated it, others that loved it, so I guess it's one to check out.
Will have a look at the Jenny Lawson one, although I have a reading list of about 25 at the minute.... lol
Love my Kindle!0 -
Hahahahahaha I don't believe the swear filter won't let me type the full title of Herman Melville's masterwork.....Moby Richard just doesn't sound the same does it?0

Actually, I was thinking of another one of his books. "She's Come Undone" is a good one. Have you read "I Know This Much Is True" by Wally Lamb? It's a long one but I remember I really enjoyed it.0 -

Ooooh Treasure Island what a fantastic idea....
Did you know I am from a small city in the North of England called Preston, one of it's few claims to fame is that Benjamin Franklin lived their briefly before shipping off to the U.S. will he mention this in his autobiography do you think?0 -

I quite agree!! Wally Lamb is one of my favourites, as he can write circles around many other authors. 'I Know This Much Is True' is, in my humble opinion, his best volume yet. I gather from amazon.ca that he's currently working on yet another novel which was to have been published in 2012; for some reason, though, its release date has been delayed. His work is worth the wait, but I sure hope that it's soon. Pickings are rather slim these days. Any suggestions?0

Dunno about you, but I started reading the Asterix books in Junior High and found them soooo punny that I soon had to collect the whole shebang. It took a while, but I have 'em and still enjoy them. Good stuff, indeed!
And I hope that your spring is proceeding nicely - we're getting more snow tonight and perhaps some freezing rain. In the famous crabby words of Obelix: Rhubarbrhubarbrhubarbrhubarb....0 -

Ooo I had no idea he was working on another that was supposed to be released soon!! And yes, you are quite right, the work is definitely worth the wait. At least it gives us something to look forward to. And I know what you mean about the pickings being slim these days, I feel the same way. I'll have to take a look through my bookshelves and see if anything jumps out at me that is really worth the read. 0 -

The 3 that jump out at me there are Gaiman and Pratchetts good Omens (superb) Salingers Catcher in the Rye ( I bought a first ed of that from my local charity shop for 50p, 3 weeks before he passed away....last time I check it was worth a few hundred pounds...) and lastly but by no means least my hero Douglas Adams I LOVE all his works he was a genius and a very amusing chap to boot, as for the others I shall keep my eyes open.... THANKS FOR SHARING IT'S A GREAT LIST AND SHOULD KEEP YOU OCCUPIED...0 -
I am trying to make it through The Host but it just isn't doing it for me0
