    Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell. Amazing story. Read a few similar but this is most recent. Really hope the movie due out next year is as effective telling the story.

    Did you read Fearless yet? If you did, what'd you think?

    I'll have to put Lone Survivor on my list to read soon.

    I haven't read it but have now put Fearless on my list. American Sniper by Chris Kyle is another one I really enjoyed. Amazing humans and what they go through, both on and off battlefield, is incredible

    Not sure on specifically the last one because I've been sort of hung up in two books for a while. I read
    "And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini recently and "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. I am currently reading "The Big Burn" by Timothy Egan and "MaddAddam" by Margaret Atwood. I find the latter to be going more slowly than most of my experiences with her books. The prob with the "Big Burn" is that I should have gotten it on Kindle. I am too young to acknowledge that I need cheater glasses and the font is small.:laugh:

    Changeless (Parasol Protectorate #2) by Gail Carriger

    One of my favorite series-love Carriger :love:

    I just finished The Creeps, by John Connolly (Samuel Johnson series)

    I'm starting The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror, by Christopher Moore tonight :)

    Currently reading: The Golden Age of Death by Amber Benson. It's part of a series, urbanish fantasy, light and easy to read. Fun.
    Just finished: This Is Where I Leave You by Jonathan Tropper (who works on Banshee, awesome TV series). This is more classified as 'literary fiction' and was good.
    Also just finished: Misfortune Cookie by Laura Resnick. This is the latest Esther Diamond book, and they're awesome - easier reads and light-hearted, but also snappy and fun to read.


    I have roughly 790 books on my kindle at this point - I think I bought about 40 on cyber Monday when they had a lot at 0.99 and $1.99.

    Physical books -- I have tons. Probably 2-3K. 7 large, six-shelf bookcases from Ikea all stuffed full with three shelves also covered with books on top of them stacked the rest of the way to the ceiling.

    I read mostly on my Kindle because of work travel and convenience, but I love owning physical copies of things too. Lately I tend to just buy special physical copies -- either it's the only way it is sold, it is autographed, or a special Subterranean Press edition which is too gorgeous to pass up, etc.

    On travel weeks, I probably read 2-3 books because of all the hours on the plane and nights in the hotel room after I'm done working. On non-travel weeks, I still read about 1-2. It varies though, because sometimes I get in such a gaming mode that I don't slot in any downtime for reading, my spare time is kids, husband, dinner, Rift/WoW/Secret World. ;)

    Also recently read (in last month): Parasite by Mira Grant, The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes, Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh, The Bohemian Love Diaries by Slash Coleman, the Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Clare.

    In the queue for the next few weeks: Medium Raw by Anthony Bourdain, A Certain Chemistry by Mil Millington, and Curtsies and Conspiracies by Gail Carriger.

    I love reading. I love books. I love all genres. I tend to have a fantasy/sci-fi bent, but I love everything and have been in a bit of a memoir/literary fic mood recently. I've got a couple weeks off starting next week, and I'm hoping to whittle down my reading list considerably because I keep buying stuff, forgetting I have it, and then seeing it on my kindle and thinking 'damn, must read!'

    Oh...and my autographed edition of The Princess and Mr. Whiffle 2 by Patrick Rothfuss came in recently - gotta read that ;)

    I have Curtsies & Conspiracies sitting in my 'to read next' pile, along with Long Live the Queen, by Kate Locke and World After, by Susan Ee. Hoping to get through them by December 31st, so I can start 'fresh' on January 1st with a new tbr list :)

    The last book I read was 'An Instance of the Fingerpost' by Iain Pears - a historical murder mystery set in the 17th century.

    I'm now reading 'The Shining' by Stephen King.

    Friend by Diana Henstell and it's a wonderful book.
    It's like a Frankenstein remix except the main characters are kids.

    Definitely my thread. I have two four foot bookcases in my closet, one of unread books, one "read and I'm not getting rid of" books. I have a series of books I read as a kid, my parents used to buy me one or two for my good report cards. Never getting rid of those. I now am a huge fan of my Kindle. :heart: I'm at the age of reading glasses and they give me a headache so my reading suffered the past few years. The Kindle with the adjustable font and backlight makes it easier to read. If my house ever went up in flames, it'd be one of the things I grab as I flee. I do a book challenge on Goodreads and I beat the number I set for this year a month or two ago. Last year I didn't make the same number.

    Doing a lot of mystery/action/romance combos lately. One series I recently and sadly finished was about a family called Bombay who have been assassins throughout history. Quick reads, funny, romance, danger. Found the first one on one of Amazon's emails about free books. Leslie Langtry is the author if anyone is interested. I also take advantage of my Amazon Prime membership and am reading a free book each month, currently enjoying a mystery series.

    If the idiots at work would hurry up with this meeting I'm teleconferencing, I could go finish my book.
