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!!!! lol0 -
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?0 -

Reading Sixkill by Robert B Parker - wittily and relaxing sort of detective story.0

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!0 -
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.... haha0 -
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.0 -
Just finished, "Becoming Marie Antionette" by Juliet Grey. Finishing, "The Journal of Mrs. Pepys." by Sara George. Still wading through Antonia Frasier's, "Mary Queen of Scots."0

Listening to mockingjay (last hunger games book) when I workout. Listening to the wind up bird chronicle while cleaning and cooking and reading beside still waters (psalms 23 mystery book) while knitting.

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!0 -
Books seems to be the answer here haha but joking aside what's on my bookshelf right now is protein drink half eaten rice and chicken banana and many books on bodybuilding and of course the bible0

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:0

I mostly read contemporary American poetry.
Couple weeks ago ordered some new books. Been working on Jorie Graham's "The Dream of the Unified Field", her selected poems. Plan on reading "Red Doc>", which I also ordered--it's the followup to Anne Carson's novel-in-verse "Autobiography of Red", which I loved.
I also have been reading Men's Health and Men's Fitness a lot! They have really good recipes that I can actually do.0 -
OK Returning to the original point of the post I can give you a definitive answer to what I shall be reading in the near future as my access to printed English Literature is limited (until I call in an emergency NATO book drop from England)
So at the moment I am midway through Moby D1ck by Herman Melville
Next is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Then the complete collection of Edgar Allan Poe's Short stories
Followed by two books by John Paul Satre "Iron in the soul" and "The reprieve"
then Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol
The complete works of Hans Christian Anderson
Cider with Rosie by Lawrie Lee
and finally the New Machiavelli by HG Wells
After that I shall be frantically calling in a UK book drop from my collection back in the U.K.0 -
My bookshelves are filled. I'm kind of a book collector.
Currently on my nighstand:
Wool - Hugh Howey
Game of Thrones - George R. R. Martin
Year Zero - Rob Reid
Bossy Pants - Tina Fey0 -

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease send me some books!!!0 -
My bookshelves are overflowing. On my nightstand there's a tower of books that have slowly shoved my alarm clock and lamp onto the floor. The books on top are: 1984 by George Orwell, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Grass by Sheri S. Tepper (haven't started it yet), and Why I'm Afraid of Bees (probably one of the most ridiculous Goosebumps stories ever...lol! it's for a friend....)0

Anyone on Goodreads.com or have the app?
