    Reading the October List by Jeffrey Deaver. I hated it for the first probably 300 pages of the book then WHAM! Big plot twists and now I can't put it down! Not a Lincoln Rhyme book.

    Divergent series and the Hannah Swenson Mystery series. It's hard because she owns a bakery and talks about deserts though out the books! But I love them.

    The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. Super long, but definitely worth a read if you're into historical fiction, as it's a feminist take on the Arthurian legends.

    Just finished "Penmarric" by Susan Howatch. It's an old book - was always one of my favorites so I re-read it. Now I am reading
    "The Signature of All Things" by Elizabeth Gilbert (of Eat, Pray, Love fame).

    I'm reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King :)
    Currently on book 3/8: The Wastelands
    Awesome series

    Have read through this thread and seen so many that I have read and enjoyed, I am currently reading Wilbur Smith's 'Courtney' Series for the 4th time in my life. If any of you are on Goodreads you can see what I read here https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/7607026 feel free to add me as a friend. I normally read around 3 books per week.

    I'm re-reading the brilliant THE BOOK THIEF by Markus Zusak before the film's released in the next few weeks. Highly recommend it.

    I'm incapable of reading just one book at a time so I'm also in the middle of:

    - GAME OF THRONES (Book 1) by George R. R. Martin - struggling with this beast!
    - THE EMERALD ATLAS by John Stephens - good but I'm not in love with it

    And last night I finished THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO by Stieg Larsson. Brilliant but very disturbing book.

    I absolutely love, love, love THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO and the rest of the books in the series. I'm disturbed the author died and I hope his family and long-time girl-friend can come to an agreement and release the last book.

    Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (don't usually find reading difficult but for some reason this is not easy to follow).

    As someone else said, I'm not one to just read one book so I'm also reading The Kingmaker's Daughter by Phillipa Gregory.

    Some great books in this thread. Must print the list out :smile:

    Earth Unaware by Orson Scott Card. Read the Ender series long ago, as well as all of the Bean series, Book of Gifts and Ender in Exile. Now on to the prequels.

    I just started the Ender series - Read Ender's Game, then Ender in Exile, now I'm nearly done with Speaker for the Dead. Next the last two in the the Ender Quintet and then the Shadow series.

    I just finished "The FInancial Lives of Poets" - about a guy who gave up his relatively steady and almost tenured role as a financial journalist to start his own web news page that covered market analysis and investment advice in verse - dark humour, decent book.

    I've also just read "May We Be Forgiven." I highly recommend A.M. Holmes, but "This Book Will Save Your Life" and "Music for Torching" are much better reads.

    The funniest book I've ever read is, "Apathy and Other Small Victories" by Neils Seppen.
