    My reading is all over the place...

    Images: My Life in Film by Ingmar Bergman
    Snabba Cash by Jens Lapidus (which is taking me forever, because I'm stubborn and determined to read it in Swedish rather than buy a translated copy and my Swedish is decent but certainly not perfect, but I'm loving the story.)
    Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
    Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales
    Plato's Republic

    Brandon Sanderson - Words of Radiance. Fantastic so far, 500 pages in, 500 to go. Better than book one.

    I've been reading books my wife's suggested recently. Right now it's "The Women's Room" by MARILYN FRENCH. Still not quite sure how I'm feeling about it. She had me read "The End of Mr. Y" before that and it was quite good. Fantasy about accessing other people's minds. Think INCEPTION but brainier...lots of talk about philosophy in it.

    The Leftovers by Tom Perotta

    I love Tom Perotta. I'll have to look this one up.
    I've read this and it was decent. Premise is that a "rapture-like" event occurs where tons of people just turn up missing one day..but they aren't the pious and the world struggles to make sense of it all.

    I read very fast so I typically have more than one book going at a time. I'm reading Year Zero, (Oddly honest aliens have been pirating Earth's music for some years and realize they need to pay for it. When they tally the costs it will bankrupt entire planets to pay so a faction decides the be best way to get out from under it is to destry the Earth. Think Douglas Adams crossed with Terry Pratchet but a little drier and slighlty less funny.),
    This sounds right up my alley. You've probably already read it but if you liked YEAR ZERO and haven't read GOOD OMENS (Pratchett and Gaiman-I describe it as "What if LEFT BEHIND were written by Douglass Adams") you need to.
    I'm part way through The Bones of Odin by David Leadbeater. It is sort of like that National Treasure movie w/ Nick Cage only image the lead character is former special forces and played by someone more muscle bound and physical than Nick Cage.
    Keeping this in mind as well...

    -Trying to finish Allegiant by Veronica Roth (the 3rd book in the Divergent series) but it's awful! I hate it.
    -The Fault in Our Stars...pretty good so far.
    -About to start Flowers in the Attic
    -And I'm always reading Pride & Prejudice

    This is a great topic! I have a new book list going! Thanks!!

    I read the entire series of books by VC Andrews that starts with Flowers in the Attic about the Dollanganger family last year. It was a good read but many times during the series it got exhausting reading it. After all was said and done, I was glad to be done with it... but glad I had read it.

    I just finished the Little House on the Prairie books... and am now reading Follow Me by Platt and This Present Darkness
    Last year I also read all of the Hunger Games Series of books... they were really good... made the movies much more enjoyable. I am glad that I read them before seeing the movies because it helped make the story more real and meaningful. I have read the first 2 books in the Divergent series... but not yet the 3rd book.

    Now you see her by James Patterson
    Family Pictures by Jane Green
    Shopaholic and baby by Sophie Kinsella (my third time reading it). Its an hilarious book! I highly recommend you "read" it in audiobook format. The narrator is one of the best in the biz. Really brings the book to life.

    I am going to read Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok next

    I love the series, but on this book I'm only about half way through and I'm not that happy that I have to wait until the next book for some characters...No Spoilers

    Hi Everyone!

    I'm currently re-reading The Fiery Cross by Diana Gabaldon. This is a series of books in the Outlander Series: Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, and Echo in the Bone. Currently waiting for her next book of the series: Written in My Own Heart's Blood - coming out in June.

    These books are an exceptional read. I hope you will take advantage and read them as well. There will be a show coming out on the Starz network this summer some time. So I also look forward to that.

    Hope all is well.

    Burial Rites by Hannah Kent.

    Haunting and melancholy, but a total page-turner (so far)!

    The Outlander Series is my favorite of all time. I have read the whole series more that once. I am reading the "Paradise War : Song of Albion - book 1" by Stephen Lawhead right now.
