After watching the Tour de France in July and currently watching la Vuelta a Espana (like the Tour de France, but in Spain) I'm in full-on bicycle racing mode. Accordingly, I just finished "Etape: 20 Great Stages from the Modern Tour de France" by Richard Moore and I'm currently working on "Slaying the Badger: Greg LeMond, Bernard Hinault, and the Greatest Tour de France" (also by Moore) and "The Death of Marco Pantani: A Biography" by Matt Rendell. That's in addition to whatever Sci-Fi or whatever book I happen to pick up when I'm looking for something lighter.0

For fun: The lovely bones
for school: writing analytically , The meaning of difference and an algebra book0 -
Wow, I love this thread! I was just going to post on FB to ask for recommendations, but have taken many from here. I'm currently listening to a book called 40 Acres, and it has been a lot of fun. A fantastical idea, and pretty good suspense. I also recently read Blue Latitudes, about Captain Cook and the places he visited, and the author is retracing the routes and considering the current state of those places. I just got my son a book called In a Sunburned Country, and just reading the back of the book made me want to move to Australia.
Reply to several other posts here: I am waiting for an audio book of Outlander, but might have go ahead and get the book version, I see a few recommendations for that on here. Love Hollow City and Ms. Peregrine! I just recently came across house of leaves on Amazon good reads, and I went back and forth, and decided it might be too weird for me. Once I start reading a book, I have trouble stopping, even if it isn't good, I keep hoping it will get better, and then if it never does, I'm pissed! So I was a little worried House of Leaves might be like that for me. I want it to be good, not just weird!0 -

The Odyssey - Homer
The Beautiful and The Damned - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs
Felt like a bit of a lighter read for the moment, thus Miss Peregrine's, it's very good easy reading though! Soon to be turned in to a film, I think.0 -
Going Buddhist by Peter j conradi as kind of an ongoing thing when I have time, The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman because I reread that one all the time since I love it, and Cry of the Beloved Country by Alan Paton for school0

Just finishing Stephen King's Mr Mercedes then will be starting Peter James's Want You Dead (book 10 in the Roy Grace series)
I'm a Stephen King fan, for the most part. Did you know that his son also writes pretty good stories? His name is Joe Hill, and if you like Stephen King, i bet you will also like Joe Hill.0 -
The Thicket - Joe Lansdale
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller0 -
I'm about 3/4 of the way through Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. I just started Galveston by Nic Pizzolatto.
OMG me too. I'm about 1/4 through. Love me some Gaiman! Did you read "American Gods?"
American Gods was great. Supposedly Starz has picked up the rights for a TV series.
Finishing No Less Than Victory, 3rd WW2 novel by Jeff Shaara.
Anansi Boys was a lot of fun! I know it's a kids book, but I also liked the Graveyard Book, by Gaiman as well.0 -
The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan :drinker:0

I am, for about the fourth time, reading King's The Stand. One of my favorite books of all time. I'm also reading George R.R. Martin's A Dance With Dragons0

I have to admit that most of my reading consist of reading online articles. However, I had been reading a book entitled Safety for the Forensic Identification Specialist by Nancy E. Masters and a book entitled Crime Scene Investigation (The Third Edition) by Jacqueline T. Fish, Larry S. Miller, Michael C Braswell, and Edward W. Wallace Jr...
I have read these books because I am currently taking an advance crime scene investigation technology class, and a crime scene safety class at Eastern Florida State College. I do read some hard copy material for pleasure but they are Zumba Instructor Manuals.0 -
Mists of Avalon. Forgot how much I really like this story. It is a long long book but well worth it.0
-
A Year in the Merde by Stephen Clarke because the cover looked interesting and the synopsis was funny and intriguing. Love it so far.
Mystery by Jonathan Kellerman because I love the Alex Delaware series and I really need to catch up.
Gods Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips for the second time because it's hilarious and I love Greek gods.0 -
I'm finishing up Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P. Newton. I'll be making the rounds at Barnes and Noble later today!0

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green
Absolutely loved this one. Quick read, great characters. Follows a group of teens with cancer. Couldn't put it down.
The Interestings - Meg Wolitzer
Longer book, but again, really well developed characters. Follows a group of friends from a teenage summer camp through their adult years.0 -

Just finished The Giver by Lois Lowry. Have yet to see the film.
Reading An Abundance of Katherines by John Green and it's really funny and poignantly written. John Green is a genius.
Going to reread Shakespeare's Macbeth because it's my favourite play.0 -
