    I just finished "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. I couldn't put it down, it was a great story although a little sad. Now I'm reading "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. So far, so good! :)

    @Geerunz I LOVED The Book Thief. I sobbed at the end. :)

    I'm currently reading Healing Our World in an Age of Aggression by Dr. Mary Ruwart and Fat Chance by Dr. Robert Lustig. I usually read literature and fiction, but thought I'd give these a try since they were recommended by family {both science lovers}.

    Room by Emma Donoghue.

    Really powerful, my heart was pounding in fear at places. Extremely readable. Can't say that I am "enjoying" it, per se, beause it is dark, really dark, but I cannot put it down.

    Room, by Emma Donoghue.

    It's written from the perspective of a 5 year old. It takes about 100 pages to get sucked into the book (I really was lost and didn't understand everything, and then it all came together). But it was recommended by a friend. So, if you could get past the style of writing, and the fact that you might have to reread the first 100 pages because you were too ADD to pay attention, I would recommend.

    Last book I read was Sarah's Key. About a girl who escapes the concentration camp and is worried because she locked her brother in a secret room when the Nazis came for her family. It starts out in present day and jumps back and forth between the past. GOOD read.

    I like the darkness. How do you get past the style of writing?

    One of my favorite all time books. I laughed out loud many times! I've also read "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore and loved it as well.

    Bleak House by Charles ****ens.

    Started it at Christmas as I thought it would be all cosy Victorian London. It's my first ****ens read apart from A Christmas Carol, and I have to say it is very, very slow and not quite like I thought it would be. Still, when I start a book I have my own little rule that I must finish it!

    Edit: Hahaha can't believe MFP automatically censored ****ens!

    Fathers and Sons - Ivan Sergeyevich Turgenev

    Just like other Russian novels I have read, am finding it slow going but interesting. At least it is short enough that I won't be reading it for months.

    "You don't have to be evil to work here, but it helps" By Tom Holt. Love this guy for light relief from research at Uni. If you want immature, snorting, belly laughs then anything by this guy is gold!!!

    Just finished Calculated in Death by J.D. Robb this morning at the gym. Looking forward to starting The Book of Summers by Emylia Hall. My understanding is that most of the book is set in Hungary and I'm excited to learn more about a country I know little about.

    I'm reading 'Killing Floor' by Lee Child, which is the first of the Jack Reacher novels. I'm fairly certain they made this into a film with Tom Cruise which I find hilarious. Tom Cruise is one of the shortest actors around and the character in the book is about 6"4 lol

    Now I'm onto 'Sweet Tooth' by Ian McEwan. Tenth of December on audiobook was great and narrated by Saunders himself. :-)
