    Just finished "Gone Girl" and yes, well written, I couldn't put it down, it felt like I was addicted to the story and found it deeply disturbing, as though by reading the book I had opened myself up to harmful psychological manipulation.


    Is this the book written by Gillian Flynn?

    I am reading The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris. I think it has been around awhile but never heard of it. Lots of interesting suggestions for helping yourself deal with stress, anxiety, anger, emotional issues and the usual human miseries of life we all deal with. A most interesting thing to me is how negative and distracted most people are stuck in their stream of consciousness mind. This book has a light touch, is funny and but very insightful. Definitely recommend for getting motivated to get a fresh start in your life.

    Gone Girl is awesome, and I just started Eleanor and Park which is a YA novel and is great so far.

    .I just finished reading JODI PICCOULT, "The Storyteller". I thought it was pretty good. It started out kind of slow but it turned into a good read. It is a novel very well written and tells a story about one of the most horrible crimes against humanity.

    I think for me embedded within the story was the question of forgiveness....but then again you may come away with a totally different opinion.

    I haven't read anything nearly as fancy and intellectual as a lot of these books everybody mentions - but gosh did I enjoy reading Skulduggery Pleasant. The whole series in 4 days. Best book marathon I have had in a long while.

    I like reading relaxing brainless kind of stuff. I am a Professor and am always reading texts, theory as well as research so sitting down with a relaxing brainless book is just down time for me.

    I saw this mentioned in one of the forums recently and the title caught my fancy. Just started to read and like what the author is saying so far! Lynn Grabhorn's "Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting; the astonishing power of feelings".

    I love this thread! I read a wide variety of books, so I'm loving the ideas this thread has given me. Right now, I'm re-reading Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series - I'm on the fourth book, Cruel and Unusual. There are a ton of other books on my list, too, that I can't wait to get to.

    just saw an ad for "gone girl" they have made a movie out of it....wondering if it would be worth it to go see it? most of the time the movie isn't as good as the book.

    I reading a book called 'fearless' , it's a children book but it's by an author i used to love as a kid (who am I kidding, I still love her!). It's full of fantasy and magic and all that good stuff. I'm also re-reading the princess bride and the catcher in the rye, two of my all time favorites.

    I just finshed Doctor Sleep,the beginning of the book was slightly disturbing if you are super sensitive like me but I really enjoyed the book!
    Have any of you read The Fever series by Karen Moning? That series gave me such a book hangover, I couldn't read any other series for a while! ????????
