    I read way too much...my GPA shows that I'd rather read than study but...
    Right now I'm reading Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
    Its really interesting. Its based on the love affair of Frank Lloyd Wright, the "founder" of American architecture.

    I am reading a couple of others when I leave this one on my bed side table. ..yeah, i'm one of those.

    I'm LOVING the ideas for books. I think next I'm reading Twilight. I've heard so many good things about it so I'm excited!

    So many have said how good Twilight is, but I'm having trouble with the whole vampire book type thing. Just doesn't interest me. I find I go through genre phases. Thank God I left the Harlequin romance genre very early; then went on to fantasy (Sword of Shanara, Ring Trilogy), then onto Scifi (Heinlein, Asimov), Mystery (Agatha Christie); then onto spy novels (Le Carre, Ludlum), then self improvement (Love Languages, among many others), Adventure (Clive Cussler). And that's not even including the classics that I read all the time in between the others. But, just can't get interested in anything to do with vampires.... ghosts, ghouls, demons, hauntings, etc.

    Just saw this and had to respond. One of the things I love about Twilight is how different the vampires are in the book than in any other. They don't burn to dust in the sun, they don't have pointy teeth, their faces don't change, you can't stake them, etc. It's more of a love story than anything but instead of having troubles such as infidelity or distance they have problems because he's a vampire. Sry, have to pimp it. :blushing: :laugh:

    Just finished "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey (the book that was promoted by Oprah, and then Oprah found out it wasn't a true autobiography, and she grilled James Frey on her show about his lies). Now I need to look up that episode of Oprah so I can find out what was/ was not true in the book.

    Before that, I read "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen. It was awesome.

    Actually, I'd highly recommend both of those books.

    I think I'm starting on Jane Green's "Second Chance" next. I love Jane Green. Jemima J is my inspiration!!!

    I LOVE Chronicles of Narnia, I read them to my oldest when he was younger and I can't wait to read them to my other two kids, I hope they enjoy them also.

    I've just finished reading Almost moon by Alice Sebold, which I'm taking back to the library today, and can hopefully find something else to check out! (It's a really small library and I am pretty sure I've been through most books there that interest me)

    I am a member of a book club where I purchase my books through the mail, I just recently signed up again and am anxious to get my new order. I've got some new James Patterson, new Nora Roberts on the way as well as a supposedly motivational book from Bob Harper (from the biggest loser). I am a HUGE book worm!!!

    Just finished "Lulu Meets Gods and Doubts Him" by Danielle Ganek...good fiction about the inner workings of the art world.

    Now I've started "The Hills at Home" by Nancy Clark...so far so good, beautifully written and amusing.

    Just finished 19 Minutes by Jodi Picoult. It was such a good book, I couldn't put it down.

    And now I'm reading Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. It's such a thought provoking story.

    I know. It's really hard to put the first book down. My daughter read the whole set and she wants to read them again as I get through with them.

    I loved the Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer, but her new book The Host is soooo Gooood! I couldn't put it down, Literally! A book that normally would have taken me a week to read took only 1.5 days. I let my kids take care of themselves and put orff everything till I was done. The firs few chapters are a little dull but the rest is great!
