    I told myself I was going to read the Millennium Trilogy and Hunger Games over the summer... but I just bought the new Augusten Burroughs book... so they will probably take a back burner

    I just finished the book "Heart Shaped Box" by Joe Hill and would definitely recommend it! I'm planning on reading "Horns" by him next.

    Just started 11/22/63 by Stephen King yesterday.

    Good Read.

    This is one I'm reading over the next couple months. Currently listening to the audiobook Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett (helps me when I drive and when I run...now I can't wait to do both), and reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.
    Pillars of the Earth is one of my FAVORITES- So good!!!, I've read it twice, and World Without End twice too.I am anxiously awaiting the second book to the Fall of GIants series. I love follett's epics!

    I am reading the self help book Unique Ability. It explains how we all have a unique skill no one else has that comes naturally to us. You even ask for feedback from others to help you determine your unique ability.

    Just started 11/22/63 by Stephen King yesterday.

    I absolutely LOVED that book. Read it over a weekend, staying up half the night because I couldn't put it down. I hope you like it.

    I read about a hundred pages yesterday...got really into it...can't wait to get started on the next section tomorrow. King is kind of hit and miss for me, I either love his books or can't get past the first few chapters...I think I'm gonna really like this one, though.

    Kama Sutra......no, it's called "Under the Overpass." It's about two guys who choose to live homeless for several months.

    I used to really like Laurell K Hamilton, but I felt like, after Obsidian Butterfly, her books were too much sex and too little brain. Reading one was just like reading any of the others...overcome by lust, insert penis, guilt-tripping, repeat.

    Millennium trilogy is also awesome. I can't decide whether I want someone else to pick up and write the rest of the stories (supposedly there were originally 10 books I think, and some are partially written, and some are outlined, and some just have basic plots planned) and steig larsson died unexpectedly after the release of hornet's nest...now there's a battle royale between his former life-partner and his estranged family about the rights to the rest of the books. "Nobody" knows where the partially written books and the outlines are, except that his girlfriend (who is also a writer) most likely has them. Its a mystery/drama of it's own!

    The Dain Curse, by Dashiell Hammett, but the Hammett to start with is The Thin Man. Also, the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I've been working my way through Holmes for a while.

    What's your fave so far? I'm not that far along, but I think my favorite remains the Hound of the Baskervilles.
