What Are You Reading Right Now?

I just finished reading Snow Flower & the Secret Fan & thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to the poster that recommended it.

I just picked up a book to Iris Johannsen, who I have never read before. I can't even think of the name of the book - darn it!!! It seems as though it will be a very easy, light read.

She's pretty quick, but be warned, she can be addictive. Everything she has writthen recently has been linke to previous books some how. The Pandora one(can't think of the name) that's out in paperback, while not linked to prior ones, links to her next hardback, Quicksand. She's an easy read though

I'm a little more than halfway through The Kite Runner but left it at a friend's house over the weekend and won't get it back until this coming weekend, so I needed something else to read. I picked up The Notebook yesterday and read 107 pages in one sitting!!! I'll probably finish it on the train ride home tonight.

Right now I'm reading Twilight. On my pile of books to read I have; New Moon, Eclipse, Chocolat, Julie and Julia, The Host, and Service Included.

I just finished Mending Fences by Sherryl Woods. It was enjoyable, if very predictable. Right now I'm reading Range of Motion by Elizabeth Berg. So far, I'm not sure what I think of it.

I haven't read every page of this thread, so I don't know if this book has been mentioned yet, but I just finished "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. It is fantastic! I highly recommend it!

I'm offically on the Twilight bandwagon, put all 3 books on hold via the library and can't wait for the movie!

I just finished reading Quicksand. I really enjoyed it, couldn't put it down and finished it in 24 hour period. She used a couple more characters from another books she wrote also.

I agree they are addicting, especially when you realize that sometimes one book spills into another one.

I just finished John Katenbach's The Wrong Man and I couldn't put it down! It's a thriller about a stalker and a girl, and how far the girl's family needs to go in order to make sure that the stalker doesn't harm the girl.

Last night I started a light culinary mystery, The State of the Onion by Julie Hyzy. I'm not too far into the book, but so far so good. The main character is a chef at the White House.

Didn't know about this one. Can't seem to find anything on it. I also like Rollins, BTW, he has a new book coming out on June 24, The Last Oracle. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/The-Last-Oracle/James-Rollins/e/9780061230943/?itm=1

It's another Sigma book.

Finished The Notebook last night. It was pretty good. The BF says I need to see the movie now.

Picked up Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner. So far it's pretty funny. I can relate to Cannie.

Wow, didn't you start The Notebook yesterday?

I'm reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch and Bless Your Heart, Tramp by Celia Rivenbark.

I started it Wednesday on the way home and finished it yesterday on the way home. It was good, so it went by quickly. I have an hour train ride (I usually only read on the way home; I do crosswords in the morning to wake up my brain) and so I went through a little over 100 pages each day.

You know, I was talking to the BF about this book last night (he's only seen the movie) and I have to say, while it was a good story, I've heard people positively RAVE about it. I didn't quite feel that way. Actually, I preferred A Walk to Remember to this one.

I was moving along with The Kite Runner at the same clip but left it at a friends house this past weekend. I'm hoping to pick it up sometime this weekend so I can finish it. I have about 1/3 of it left.

"Kite Runner" was an amazing book! I just finished it a couple days ago... started reading it in the afternoon and just couldn't put it down till I finished it around 4am. I've got to go pick up "A Thousand Splendid Suns" (also by Khaled Hosseini) now and read that one, too! =)

So far I think it's a great novel. I'm waiting until the end for my final verdict though. I've heard a lot of great things about the book but the one thing that I'm finding is that it has been rather predictable. I was surprised about that. But so far it's still a good read. I saw a woman reading A Thousand Splendid Suns on the train yesterday and thought that I might need to pick that one up too.

I hated both of these books. My Dsis loves Nicholas Parks and recommended The Notebook to me. I finished it, but didn't like it. I haven't seen the movie either.

A friend recommended Good in Bed and all I could think was if the lead character could start feeling good about something and have a better attitude about life, she'd get a guy. I stopped reading that because she was annoying me.

How about that for two differing opinions of the same books.

I just finished The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. It was historical fiction about Vlad Drakula. Not your typical vampire book. I found it to be very good.

I'm currently reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. I'm fascinated by Russian history and so this book has been right up my alley. It was recommended by one of my aunts who is uber-religious. She loved it and as I'm reading it, I can't believe she made it past the first few chapters since it is full of adulterous thoughts and actions, though not vivid descriptions of them... (at least so far.) I'm on about page 250 of 812, so I don't know what will be coming yet.

I got a notice that Twilight is being held for me at the library. I plan to read that out loud with my kids.
