    great idea for a thread! what are you currently reading? I'm reading the pevear/volokhonsky translation of crime and punishment.

    friend request sent. let me know if you start a book club group lol

    I really like the Pevear/Volokhonsky Doestoevsky translations. Got me back into his books.

    I'm reading the new(ish) David Mitchell, Bone Clocks, but am not very far yet.

    I love to read. I'm real big on reading fiction and anything with supernatural elements to it. I tend to read a bit too much and spend a bit more than I should on ebooks! =)

    Amazon is totally making a killing on me!!! I have had to set an eBook budget lol or we would being making some sacrifices lol.

    I also love to read - anything and everything from herbal nutritional healing to pulp fiction. I particularly enjoy historical based fiction and thrillers. After a few light hearted reads, I'll throw a classic into the mix just so I don't feel like a penny dreadful shmuck.

    I'm also a writer and some day will write the great American novel along with a couple children's books for my grandkids. :o For now I post on MFP and journal infrequently.

    I'm currently reading The Witch of Cologne by Tobsha Learner.
    Waiting in the wings -
    How to Be an American Housewife by Margaret Dilloway
    The Secret Supper by Javier Sierra
    The Biography of Oswald West by Joe R. Blakely
    Brides of Eden by Linda Crew

    I'm sure there are other book groups on MFP, but I think we should start a new one! It's hard to keep up with a rambling thread (in my experience).

    I welcome new friends, so feel free to send me a request!

    So many readers! That is awesome. English Literature is my second major, the other one being Psychology, and I am in the last year of my undergrad degree. I will be sticking with psychology for graduate school but I hope I can complete a PhD in literature in the future.

    As far as genre, I love speculative fiction. Particularly sprawling series. My favorites are A Song of Ice and Fire, The Dark Tower, Lord of the Rings, and the Earthsea Chronicles. I also read other genres. I love classics from the nineteenth century, Jane Eyre is my favorite from that genre. Other all-time favorites include 1984, Animal Farm, A Clockwork Orange and A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

    I would love to befriend fellow bookworms!

    I'm a total bookworm always have been which contributed to an unhealthy and inactive lifestyle. But I'm ready for a change. I want to run , rock climb l, spelunk(cave exploring) and join a roller derby team. I can't currently do these things because I weigh 300 lbs. I'm turning 31 this weekend and starting a new career as a vet tech and it's time to take my life back!!!

    I have 390 books on my wish list...never enough time to read. My New Years Resolution was to read 25 books (huge props to the lady who reads 100 a year!) in 2015. So far so good, I'm on #8 - a biography about Peter Gabriel.

    Favorite author is Stephen King.

    Anyone use Library Thing? It really helps me keep track of my library and lists of books yet to enjoy. I also finally broke down and got a Kindle before we went to China last summer. Such a great little device...I still read book books too. But on the road? You gotta have a Kindle.
