Am I the only one that didn't think Water for Elephants was a great as everyone thought. My mother in-law agreed with me too. But she did read The Help, which is my own book that I haven't read...she said that was good.

I'm reading two books at the moment: "Tell it to the Trees" by Anita Rau Badami and I just began "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. Both books are very accessible and hard to put down.

I am still trudging my way through Jane Eyre but now I'm also reading "Turpentine" by Spring Warren.

Jane Eyre is on my list.

Aw, I adored Jane Eyre! Charlotte Brontë became an instant favourite of mine with that book.

Right now I'm reading book 2 of A Song of Ice and Fire (A Clash of Kings) by George R. R. Martin. Fantasy isn't my usual genre, but I loved the HBO series, so I read the first book this past summer. I had a ton of other things on my reading list before I could get around to the second one though, unfortunately. I'm only a handful of chapters into it (just started it this morning), but it's really fantastic / engrossing so far.

Yes, Jane Eyre quickly became one of my all-time favorite books when I read it this year!
Yes, love Hunger Games and truly hope that the movie does the first book justice. But, if not, it is okay, because the book is just wonderful.

I am currently reading Harry Potter:Half Blood Prince.

I decided to start "Anna Karenina" because I have it on my Nook. I'm about 60 pages in. Looked at the bottom and realized it's over 1000 pages long. I'm not thinking I'll be finishing this one.

I also abandoned Anna Karenina. I tried, but I just don't like it.

Yeah, I was hoping that SOMETHING would happen, but it never did. I gave up.

I decided to switch to Steven Saylor's "Empire." I read the first one in that series and it was good, and this second one seems pretty good too.

I'm reading Storm of Swords. I think I am growing to hate George RR Martin. I think it is awfully pompous to think that each one of your books has to be 1000+ pages in order to spew your long winded back stories that, so far, seem totally meaningless. That said, this is my favorite book in the series...but I might quit reading them anyway.

I just sorta finished Freedom by Jonathan Franzen and I must admit for the first time ever I skipped the middle chapters to read the last one. It just went on and on and on but I wanted to know what happened with characters so decided to "cheat" :blushing:

Currently reading Rob Lowes Autobiography. He's not the best writer, but it is entertaining.

Just finished Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews, kind of a chick lit book #2 in a series. I like her other books too, something nice and light. Finally got The Paris Wife from the library ebooks, was on that waiting list for a long time. And I got DH Steve Job's book for Christmas so I will be starting on that one as soon as he is done with it. :blushing:
