    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.

    This has always been my favorite book. I'm interested to see if Lonesome Dove will take the top spot or not...To Kill a Mockingbird is going to be hard to beat :)

    Thanks for mentioning the 50th anniversary edition...I've got to have it! :love:

    I usually have 2 or more books on the go, usually because i pick a hard cover one to keep reading at home or before bed, and a soft cover small one to take with me in my purse for waiting rooms, buses etc. Currently I am into:

    The Secret History of Mary Magdalene: Christianity's Hidden Goddess by Lynn Picknett.

    I bought this on on sale at the book store last weekend, the back peaked my interest. I was not raised in a religious home, but ever since i read / watched the DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons, the Knights Templar etc. has seemed interesting. I might just take a stab at the Bible next, my Dad told me it is something everyone should read at least once (and he is far from religious). I might just read it to get the other point of view.

    and

    The Hellion / Separate Beds / Hummingbird : Three complete Novels by LaVyrle Spencer.

    I am almost done The Hellion, i bought it at a book sale for 3 dollars. I have read a book (several times) by the same author called Morning Glory, which was really good, so far, this one is to.

    Happy Reading!!

    I just finished reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. It was a great book, but the ending made me mad.

    Now I'm reading Stolen Innocence: My Story of Growing Up in a Polygamous Sect, Becoming a Teenage Bride, and Breaking Free of Warren Jeffs. Phew! What a mouthful!

    For my bookclub, I have started physically reading "Her Highness' First Murder" by Peg Herring. She is a local author and this is her second book. I really liked her first book which was "MacBeth's Niece" a fictional story in the times of MacBeth. The current story center's around Princess Elizabeth... So far both are great reads.

    I just finished the three Stieg Larson books. The first one was slow and disconnected for the first 55 pages- but then it picked up and all three were fascinating.

    Re-reading "The Camino" by Shirley MacClaine for the 15th time (one of my fav's) :heart:

    Read within the last few months:

    Eat Pray Love (Hated this book - - - not really into the self-absorbed - - its all about me - - - I'm still pretty BS - - blah blah) :grumble:

    Dear John ( I liked it - - - easy read - - - the ending was beautifully sad)

    All of the Twillight series including "Midnight Sun" (online @ Stephanie Meyers website) and "Short Life of Bree Tanner" (entertaining - - - read them 4 times)

    Wake Up and Smell the Coffee - A collection of Ann Landers columns (great quick reads)

    Any suggestions as to where I should look next -????

    Re-reading the Twilight series......I heart Edward Cullen.....mmmmm...and simultaneously reading The Lovely Bones and For Whom the Bell Tolls....I'm ADD with books if you can't tell.



    I started reading Twilight on July 2, 2010 and finished Breaking Dawn 10 days later so I am a new Twi-hard fan. I heart Edward too!!

    If you like Twilight, you may also like the "Bitten" Book one of Women of the Other World series by Kelley Armstrong or "The Hunger Game" series by Suzanne Collins.

    I started reading "The Fall of Baghdad" by Jon Lee Anderson a few months ago ... it is heavy reading but very interesting. But then i got busy with other things and had back pain and was unable to concentrate so left it for a few months. Will pick it up and try to recall where i left off. I may re read some bits as i try to find where i was up to. Baby has removed the book mark, ha ha.

    I love history and i love Sci fi and fantasy, mystery, action, drama .... love vampire stories too ..... i haven't read any books for such a long time. I used to devour books regularly.

    But its nice to see what you are all reading so i can look out for books along the lines of the things i am interested in so thanks for sharing xxx

    Ugh! I hated that ending too. So stupid.

    I am reading The Cyclist. Strange little book about a terrorist.
