What are you currently reading??

Just started Synchronicity: The Art of Coincidence, Choice, and Unlocking Your Mind by Kirby Surprise....have high hopes but will see

I read the one by Carl Jung. Interesting stuff.

I just finished the newest Anita Blake book. Reading the Fire, part of the witch and wizard books by James Patterson. Next I plan on reading the Strain. I'm looking forward to a good horror book!

I love the Anita Blake series!!

How the States Got Their Shape, by Mark Stein. I'm a history nerd...

I just started reading Before I go to Sleep, S J Watson.

This thread has gotten super long and who knows who is reading the posts way back here at the end of the line! However, I will put out there the list of things I read in case I manage to touch on something no one else did.

I read a lot, ranging from Young Adult to Romance

I was also an English major and would recommend a lot of "classics," I just haven't read any of them in awhile myself - all time love is Jane Eyre and actually really liked Moby ****. Tons of others could go in this list too!

Then there is my to read list, which I will bypass since this is already ridiculously long, but the list includes a lot of biographies and non-series books! I am also reading the Shades of Grey series right now, but am not sure if I would really recommend it!

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series! If you're looking for clever, funny writing set on a flat planet that sits on the backs of four elephants who stand on a giant turtle that swims through space, I'd say Discworld is your cup of tea.

Seriously, though, it's really REALLY good.

Discworld is fantastic!! Love the humor in that series

I read one of these in college- loved it!! Need to add these to my to-read list!

I borrowed The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks from a friend. Been so long since I managed to get nearly half-way through a book, haha. I'm also trying to read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris, part of The Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood series. I was reading 50 Shades of Grey until I dropped it. Totally awful book.

SERIOUSLY, how are you the only other person I've seen so far that has not liked 50 shades of grey?!?!?!? I tried. I REALLY tried. I waited and waited as number 150 something in line to get it at the library and when I finally started it, I overlooked the simplistic plot, pathetic characters and blatent typos, but for heaven sake I had to return it to the library without finishing it. All those other people waiting for their turn to read deserve to be put out of their misery. Sigh.

I didn't even bother opening that silly book. Sounded too much like a Harlequin romance on Viagra and I hate romance novels. So cheesy!

Note to self, must write some equally dubious dribble and earn big bucks.

HA!

Currently re-reading the Discworld series. On book 3, Equal Rites.

James Patterson-3rd Degree
Janet Evanovich series--I think I'm like 15 maybe

"The Black Banners: Inside the Hunt for Al Qaeda", by Ali Soufan.

It's incredible.

Agent X by Noah Boyd, great book you should read The Bricklayer first to really enjoy the story.

I'm reading Now You See Her by James Patterson.

The last Harry Potter book- the Deathly Hollows... after reading the series for the first time beginning to end.

Janet Evanovich series--I think I'm like 15 maybe

I've read the Stephanie Plum series, but only read them back-to-back-to-back once. It gets trying. She doesn't seem to get much better at all, and even though there are some differences in names and stuff, the plot is always the same. I still buy them as soon as they come out, though.

This is me with the Patricia Cornwell "Kay Scarpetta" series. Loved the first 10, but the last few have been very trying to read. It's almost a chore to finish. I wish she could find her way back to the way her books used to be. But, like you with Evanovich, I still buy the Cornwell books as soon as they hit the store.
