What Are You Reading?

I just started Sylvia Plath's "The Bell Jar."

Hey to whoever was reading Two Little Girls in Blue....how was it? I keep being tempted to pick it up but not sure I want to buy it as a hardcover. Should I or should I wait for paperback?

I just finished The 5th Horseman and started The Book of the Dead.

I just finished Startdust by Neil Gaiman, which was OK but pretty thin compared to his better work (Anansi Boys and American Gods).

I am just about done with Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett and Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. The Pratchett book is just for fun or when I am too brain fried from work to read anything more challenging. I love the satire in his books and this one ranks right up there with the best of them. It's amazing to me just how good the Discworld series continues to be. He has written more than 30 of them and I think they are actually getting better. That's quite an acomplishment.

Murakami is one of my favorite writers and Kafka on the Shore ranks up there with his best work. But his writing is very dense and takes a fair amount of consideration to get the most out of it.

Next up will be Wicked by Gregory Maguire and *********** by Neal Stephenson (and possibly Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, it seems like I have to always be reading one of his books).

I almost bought "Marley and Me" the other day and then changed my mind. Now I think I will get it to read next.

Hey WVJules

I was the one reading "Two Little Girls in Blue" - I'm the wrong person to ask if you should buy as I get all my books at the library being the resident cheap skate that I am.

That being said - I did really like the book

Just picked up Janet Evanovich's new book, Twelve Sharp, after work, it was $15.89 @ BJ's.
I didn't make it to Foxwoods (about an hour from here) to have her sign it though. Maybe next time!
