    I am a huge Sue Grafton fan! She's the one who has the alphabet series with the lead female character as a private investigator. I just finished "I is for Innocent" and need to order the J book.

    I finally finished "An Echo in the Bone" by Diana Gabaldon.

    Started "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins - which I can't seem to put it down. I've already ordered the next one the series. Thanks to whoever suggested these books.

    The Lord Of The Rings. I have never seen the films and never thought it would be my cup of tea at all, but I am so into it, I have bought all three now.

    I love the author Jodi Picoult and just recently finished her novel House Rules. It was a great murder mystery that included a lot of information about what it is like to live with Asperger's.

    I also enjoy all of her books and have seen her speak. She is great by the way! I found the last book a little difficult to finish. I had to take a break about half way through for some reason.

    I am currently finishing the 4th book in the Cape Refuge series called Breaker's Reef by Terri Blackstock.

    Unfortunately I understand not being able to read much while in school and I am about to start on another graduate degree so my reading will be limited; however, I love all of the ideas for future books to read on this thread!

    This is completely boring because it's non-fiction but The 360degree leader....John C. Maxwell. I'm finding it very insightful

    Darkly Dreaming Dexter. I have seen the series and wanted to check out the books.

    I just finished The Surgeon (a Rizzoli and Isles book) by Tess something or another.

    MAN...those Steig Larson books are so good...I had a hard time getting into the first one...lots of names and such...but am now anxiously awaiting the last one to come from the library. The Danish Movie of the first book was really great also, gotta read the subtitles tho, was well worth it.

    I've been making my way through Jane Austen's books, b/c I loved Pride & Prejudice in high school (which I graduated in 2004 and am just now getting to this because I also couldn't read much during college!)

    Anywho, I've reread Pride & Prejudice, read Sense & Sensibility, and am now reading Persuasion.

    BTW, my fave vampire book series thus far is the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K Hamilton :)

    Kudos to you. Jane Austen is masterful. You should check out Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It's reworked to include some gore, which I htink austen would have really enjoyed considering her view on gothic novels.


    Currently reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Next to read: The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis - hopefully, before classes start up again!

    I'm re-reading an old copy of Murder Science. It's a book about forensic science and murder investigations. Yeah, I'm weird.....:tongue:

    I can't even remember the last time I read a full book. I just can't find the time to do it. If I did I could probably squeeze out 30 minutes a day to dedicate to it. It would take me like 2 years to finish something, haha.

    I get my books in MP3 format from Audible.com and listen (instead of sitting to read) to them while I jog, drive for work, clean the house and do yardwork. It's the only way, I can get any reading done.

    My bookclub meeting is this week so I started Stealing Buddha's Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen. Don't listen to this book on an empty stomach - she obsesses over food:wink:

    I need to check out audible.com. I would love to listen to audio books while walking. I used to listen to them all the time in my car when I had an hour to commute one way.

    I just started reading "J is for Judgement" by Sue Grafton.

    To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I've seen the movie but never read the book. This year I got the 50th anniversary edition as a gift. It is beautifully written and I highly recommend this Pulitzer prize winning novel.

    I'm currently reading "The Grapes of Wrath" by John Steinbeck. Even though I'm studying for a degree in Psychology...I absolutely love the history surrounding "the great depression". My mam wanted to borrow a book and she absolutely loved it, so I'm giving it a go! He's a great writer and I'm finding it difficult to put down at the mo! I have the film here ready for when I finish it :happy:

    The fourth book in Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series just came out so i am rereading the first 3 and then will read the final one.

    I need to do that too. I haven't read the 3rd yet, although I bought it as soon as it came out :laugh:

    I am just starting James Patterson's Run for Your Life and I am almost finished Kushel's Dart By:Jacquelyn Cary which is kind of a fatnasy type novel.

    I have been trying to go through my bookshelf and get rid of ones I wont read again, and figure out which ones I still have to read :laugh: :laugh: I didn't need this thread to let me know of all the other great books out there I need to add to my list :wink:
