      Reading World War Z for the third time! SO WELL WRITTEN!

      I personally love Cormac McCarthy - just finished "The Road", which I found absolutely beautiful. I'm also reading the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, good for a laugh. If you feel like something intelligent and deep, along with stunning language, try Vladimir Nabokov. Or, if you love the English language and feel like a good scare, try M. R. James horror stories. :smile:

      'The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair' by Joel ****er

      I'd never heard of it, but my hubs brought it home. So the first 20 pages or so were about a writer that has writer's block, and I'm just thinking man I hope the next 400 pages aren't about his stupid writers block. Long story short.... it's really good! Not going to give anything away but WOW!

      Apparently it's a best seller. It's good.

      Just finished that. Brilliant book. I love that author.
      I disagree vehemently.

      Read Rebecca if you like that kind of thing. At least you'll be reading the original and not a poorly disguised plagiarism. And I was genuiniely surprised at the ending of Rebecca. I saw the twist in Gone Girl coming from the first chapter, not to mention the terrible, nonexistent character development. I couldn't bring myself to give a crap what happened to any of them.

      But it was a quick, easy read, I guess. I've heard they're making major changes for the movie, which can only be a good thing.

      I am an audiobook kind of girl. Currently listening to 'A Princess of Mars' by Edgar Rice Burroughs

      I read all of the John Carter books a couple of years ago before the movie came out. I don't know why I didn't read them as a kid, as I read a lot of ERB's other books.

      (1) Beowulf A Student Edition edited by George Jack
      (2) Hindu Law and Judicature
      (3) Listening to Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind
      upcoming:
      (1) Will listen to The Secret Life of Words (From the Great Courses)

      ....yeah um this is my 'fun' reading lol, at least this list has Wizard's First Rule in it :tongue: Any earlier and you would of just seen "How To Teach Yourself Old English" "Teach Yourself Philology" and "The I.N.A. Heroes Autobiographies." As my husband is found of saying my definition of a "FUN" read isn't normal.

      Recommend: Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert in the translation of Eleanor Marx Aveling

      IMO, it's harder to find time to watch a movie - you have to have around 2 solid hours, because who watches a movie in parts and you have to be where a TV or cinema is.

      Books you can read almost anywhere and you can read in installments - much easier to fit in to life time wise.

      But I guess we all find time for things we want to spend time on.

      Just started reading Grain Brain and don't want to put it down. Is an eye opener as was Wheat Belly. I have Monuments Men waiting on the sideline.

      The Fault in our Stars is next. 5 star rating with 9000+ reviews

      I was a little let down, either due to the book itself or my high expectations of it...can't decide which!
