    About to read "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter" Seth Grahame-Smith

    This book was fantastic. I picked it up from the library, just because it happened to be in. I wasn't expecting much from it, but I LOVED it.

    I always have 3-5 books going at the same time. Right now I'm reading:

    1. The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins
    2. Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate by Brad Warner
    3. Fool by Christopher Moore (a modernized version of Shakespeare's King Lear as told by his Fool - funny, funny, funny)
    4. The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins, Dave McKean

    Last week I finished:

    1. Sit Down and Shut Up: Punk Rock Commentaries on Buddha, God, Truth, Sex, Death, and Dogen's Treasury of the Right Dharma Eye by Brad Warner, and
    2. Demystifying Psychiatry by Charles F. Zorumski, Eugene Rubin

    If I'm not watching the St. Louis Blues hockey game or doing zazen then I'm reading something (or helping my daughter with her homework. haha).

    Wow, what an interesting reading list! Love it!

    Right now I'm reading "Master Your Metabolism" by Jillian Michaels (excellent book), and I just finished the second "Hunger Games" book (thought the first was much better.. so I'm wondering about the third)

    Microbe hunters via good ol library book. Although I haven't had time to open it in a week. :( I want to slam out the hunger games by the time the movie comes out, but that would require something called time. If you are looking for book ideas people tend to keep a pretty good books pin board on Pinterest.

    I just finished the Barefoot Running Step by Step (Ken Bob's book) and a book on Gardening with Guineas (African Poultry) - now I'm reading another gardening book to help survive Ohio's wet, chilly February - "The Backyard Homestead" on my kindle. I read on my kindle and read used books from Amazon, which ever is cheaper!

    I have at least half a dozen books partially read on swimming and biking as I try to train for a triathlon.

    I LOVE fiction too and have been reading John Green's books - they're awesome quick reads that leave you with plenty to think about! "The Fault in Our Stars" just came out and I ended up reading that one out loud to my husband. He doesn't generally like fiction but he then asked me to read him a few more of John Green's books. Yes he can read - but we spend our evenings by the fire and reading aloud is a silly pass time for us!

    "The Nasty Bits" ~ Anthony Bourdain

    next: re-read of "Watership Down" and then "The Hunger Games." Which better be as good as everyone's made it out to be!

    I just Finished A Stolen Life, Auschwitz, The Lost Symbol, and The Hunger Games Series.

    Next on my list are Skrink Yourself, Eating By the Light of the Moon, Reshaping it All, Island of Lost Girls, and Mile 81. Also want to buy 77 Shadow Street because Dean Koontz is my FAVORITE author.

    I have a Nook that I use to read. Just the old, plain, non-touch, black and white one.

    I just finished "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest" last week, and just finished "My Soul to Take" by Tananarive Due this past weekend.

    "My Soul to Take" is the forth book in her series, and I HIGHLY recommend them! The first book is "My Soul to Keep," and it's an African American literarute about immortals (not your typical vampire book!) and it is fantastic!



    Here's the synopsis of "My Soul to Keep" -- SO GOOD!! (I've re-read it 3 times)

    JESSICA IS A Miami investigative reporter with a beautiful daughter, Kira, and a husband, David, so loving, brilliant, and attentive that she calls him Mr. Perfect. Suddenly, her life takes a terrifying turn. Her best friend is brutally and mysteriously murdered and Jessica discovers an ancient, unimaginable danger that will shatter her life and family -- forever.

    DAWIT is an immortal. More than four hundred years ago he and a sect of Ethiopian scholars traded their souls for eternal life. Obeying a vow of secrecy, Dawit has traveled the world as a soldier, a slave, a jazz musician -- never staying anywhere long enough for others to notice that he does not age. As further insurance, with barely a thought he kills any mortal who dares to become too curious about him. For the first time, though, it is Dawit who threatens to break his vow and defy his brothers by keeping his beloved mortal wife and child with him -- forever.

    In My Soul to Keep, the worlds of Jessica and Dawit collide with harrowing, unforgettable consequences as Jessica learns firsthand the terrible price for eternal life. The newest novel by Tananarive Due, acclaimed author of The Between, it is a shocking, brilliantly plotted work of suspense and the supernatural that astonishes until the final, remarkable page.

    WEIRD! I was so confused reading this... there is also a series by Rachel Vincent (YA books) that have some of the same names (the Soul Screamers series)... My Soul to Take, My Soul to Save, My Soul to Keep, My Soul to Steal, If I Die, and coming soon Before I Wake.

    Anyway... I just started Hunger Games (#1) on my Kindle and am also reading The Runner's Book of Daily Inspiration on my Kindle and Pride and Prejudice on my phone (struggling through that one, eeesh.)

    Play Dead by Harlan Coben. Paperback

    My wife and daughter just got a Kindle and something else. Been teelling me how wonderful they are. Told them I will NEVER own one. I like reading a BOOK. They can take my paperbacks away when they pry them from my cold dead fingers.

    A! MEN! I love used book stores, the smell of old musty two inch thick monstrous books, finding inscriptions on the inside cover, or underlined sentences and you wonder if they did that because it was meaningful to them, or were they reading it as a school assignment. Or the first "crack" of the binding when you open a new one. I never keep the dust jackets, the covers are always so much better, not gaudy, flashy colors or over-corrected pictures of the authors fake smiling.

    Paper all the way. And now I need to find something to read that isn't about children. It's been entirely too long.

    Equiano- History Paper, I liked last quarters much better: Homers The Odyssey :flowerforyou:

    Oh and for myself, the original Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeares' Macbeth, why? Never had the chance before and I want to read important books in history, Sherlock Holmes so far is pretty darn good. :D

    I just finished reading DaVinci Code - Truth or Fiction. It was very interesting book and the things that are true about Christianity are rather amazing and I don't think people truly understand anything about their beliefs after reading that book.

    Next up, I can't recall the title but it's sitting on my desk at home... something like, "Misquoting Jesus".

    Just my own personal search for religious truth. :)
