what book or books are you reading now and how?

Tough Without A Gun: The Life and Extraordinary Afterlife of Humphrey Bogart, hardcover.
The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the Periodic Table, on my Kindle.

I am enjoying them both.

Someone else mentioned Sherlock Holmes. I have that complete collection on my Kindle, too, and have read the first three novels. I'm starting on the first anthology. I love the Kindle for this kind of thing.

I put the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy on my daughter's kindle for her. That whole massive tome, and she has it with her wherever she goes in a slim little device.

I'm reading The Scottish Prisoner and Made To Crave

I am reading the 3rd book in the Hunger Games, Mockingjay on my Kindle.

my mom is on the first and she cant put it down, so as soon as shes done with it..thats what i will be reading!

Tiger's Wife in paperback

just finished Dead End in Norvelt- the Newbery winner

The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb...depressing and long. I'm almost done, thank goodness.

All of Wally Lamb's books are really depressing.....still figuring out if I like him or not

I should recommend Lamb to my husband. He loves a depressing book. If you want really depressing, you could try The Road by Cormac McCarthy. Spouse loved that one until the end, which he said was artificially happy. Ruined the book for him :huh:

Feather Crowns by Bobbi Ann Mason is pretty depressing, too.

Currently reading Zombie Fallout (First book) by Mark Tufo. I like such books, and this is laugh out load funny in some parts! Reading on my Kindle Keyboardless

Read all three of the Hunger Games and LOVED them.

I am a huge "Fitzwilliam Darcy" fan and have read "Pride and Prejudice" a million times. Currently I am reading a continuation story written by another author called "Pride and Prejudice continues...Mr and Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy - the two shall become one". It is set just after Elizabeth and Darcy ar married. I have another one that takes place after this one, can't remember the title and my husband just bought me "A Death at Pemberly" for Valentine's day!!

All in the traditional "BOOK" format Love to hold a book!

I am reading the 3rd book in the Hunger Games, Mockingjay on my Kindle.

I'm on the third book as well! I'm having a hard time getting into this one, hopefully it picks up soon. The first 2 were amazing!
I would have never thought I would love my Kindle... I'm one of those people that loves to display my books and I love the smell, etc... However, I'm a huge fan now! I still buy the hard copies at 1/2 price books if I find them though, LOL!

i am also having a hard time with the 3rd book, but i'll power through it.

My husband wanted a Kindle for Christmas, 2010, so I got him one. In March, I was getting ready to go away for 3 weeks and he said, "You need a Kindle." I said, "I don't, really. I'm good." He said, "No, trust me. You want one of these, you just don't know it yet." He literally made me go out to Staples and buy a Kindle for my trip.

He was right. I lurrrrrve my Kindle. I never lack for something to read that suits my mood; I can carry a hundred books around with me. I can buy a new book in thirty seconds. I read so much more now! It is just so blamed convenient. I read authors I've never read before. My husband and I often run into a situation where only one of us can read a book at a time in hardcover/pb. We picked up a pb copy of Captain Blood once, pre-Kindles, and he started it first. He said, "You MUST read this book, it's WONDERFUL, you'll love it!" but I had to wait until he finished it, at which point I was reading something else and it took me months to get to (He was right: great book!). With the Kindles, if he says (as he said recently) "You absolutely MUST read The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett, it is TERRIFIC!" I can start right away; I don't have to wait for him to finish it and hand it off to me (The Thin Man is a MARVELOUS read, btw).

I carry it to church with me. I have two different Bibles on it; I can compare translations right in class. Or I can draw from other sources. When something we were studying made me think of something I was reading in a biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer (another excellent book, this one by Eric Metaxas) I switched books, searched the quote I wanted, and read it aloud to the class. V. handy.

So, I went from "Seriously? Books are good, I am good with paper books" to a total Kindle convert, and it is all my husband's fault. Gotta love the guy :blushing:

The Brahms Deception ... borrow from the library.... :-) Just finished Robin Hobb's newes Rain Wilds book yesterday...

Next up is Sophie Kinsella's I've Got Your Number.

All on my Kindle!

I just downloaded Sophie Kinsella on my iPad last night. It's next in line, I have to finish She's Gone Country first. It's kinda slow....

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami - the 2.8# hardcover edition (cover by Chipp Kidd!)

and I just picked up Recipes for Health at the library. It's a collection of NYTimes recipes by Martha Rose Shulman

Im reading The girl with the Dragon Tattoo & Never have I ever. :bigsmile:

I'm reading: Thrive - The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life in paperback.

Do audio books count? When I run I listen to The Bite Club - Book 10 in the Morganville Vampire series. Love audio books when I run!

Currently reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck, Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and the 17 Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno. I usually have a stack of books on my nightstand that I rotate depending on my mood.

I enjoyed the Hunger Games trilogy, but I also had some issues with it... I'm currently reading the latest Dresden Files book, in hard cover. Ghost Story. I'm not finding it as accessible as the rest of them, but I think that's because I'm not entirely thrilled with the premise.

I also got very excited for a moment, because when I saw Lamb, I thought you guys were talking about the book Lamb, by Christopher Moore, which was a very excellent book, indeed.

Into the free by Julie Cantrell is was a freebie and reading it on my nook:)
