I just started "Gone Girl". So far pretty good. Recently read "The Gargoyle" and loved that book. Its an odd love story with other love stories woven in through different periods of time. Its haunting, funny, thought provoking, tragic yet redeeming. The characters aren't the typical type of characters you root for and yet you root for them to finally find happiness. I felt sad when the book ended because I wanted it to keep going.0

I tend to read authors in their entirety... right now I'm reading Meg Gardiner.... her first book China Lake is extraordinary! A real thriller/legal page turner.I've also read her books: Phantom Instinct and The Shadow Tracer..... She, like John Grisham is a lawyer turned author. I really enjoy John Grisham, but there is nothing new by him, so I looked up lawyers turned authors... I was amazed at how many there were!
P.S. The Goldfinch (that many of you have mentioned) was a really good read!0 -
I just finished 'We Are Not Ourselves' By Matthew Thomas a great sprawling novel about and Irish American family and it is the best book I've read in 10 years. Also, just putting this out there for any Judith Rossner fans. One of my all time favorite books is Attachments by Judith Rossner - about two friends who marry siamese twins and how their lives progress and change. It's funny and poignant and I've read it maybe 10 times over the years and always get something out of it. It's out of print but was recently reissued in ebook format on iBooks and Kindle. It's a great book. Also this summer, I read Fourth of July Creek by Smith Henderson and Still Life with Bread Crumbs by Anna Quindlen. Thanks to everyone else in the thread for some good recommendations.0

Just finished Munroe Randall's "What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions". Very entertaining read, the author is a former NASA scientist who started doing a web comic instead. And I just started "Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West" which seems like...something. Not sure if I'm digging it yet.0 -
I'm currently re-reading A Game of Thrones in between "new" books. I just finished the Southern Reach series, which was very well-written, but I found the (non)ending disappointing, unfortunately.
It's surreal and sic-fi/fantasyesque. You might enjoy it more than I ended up enjoying it.0 -
I just bought "Rogues", an anthology written by Neil Gaiman, Patrick Rothfuss, and a bunch of others. Edited by George RR Martin. Haven't gotten to start it yet, but it looks really good.0

I'm reading the Divergent trilogy, but it's not great. The first was OK, and the second is taking forever to get through. Not sure if I'll finish. But before this I read Stephen King's 10/22/63 and it was really good!0

I'm a fan of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series and am reading the Fiery Cross now.
It's drags a bit in some spots which I didn't feel in the previous novels but I'm such a fan of the world she's created that I keep reading it!0 -

The original edition, published in Paris in 1758, was followed in 1763 by a two-volume edition in English, and eleven years later in 1774, by this one-volume edition in English. The texts in the English editions are identical. This E-book also has the pictures from the French copy that were not originally in the English copies.0
