What Book are you Reading right now

[bestthingever]

Hi Elendil
Have you read any works by C.S. Lewis? He was the long time friend of
J.R. Tolkien. He wrote "The Screwtape Letters" and "the Chronicles of Narnia".
I read the "The Scewtape Letters" last year, great book.

"The Screwtape Letters", one of my all-time favorites.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who played with Fire and OH-MY-God I Can't Wait for it...please hurry..The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest!!!

All by the very talented and gone too soon, Stieg Larsson

"The Screwtape Letters", one of my all-time favorites.

Hi Bestthingever, I know what you mean about this book you read it then pass it on to your freinds and say "You just have to read this".

I'm currently reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (yeah, yeah, you read that in grade school....). It's turning out to be hilarious. I totally would not have appreciated the language and sarcasm if I read it back in school.

I have an old paperback copy, and everytime I go thru my bookshelves with the intent to donate some books, I see it and think, "No, gotta keep that one...I'll re-read it someday". It's a keeper !

 

[Tehec]

Gears of War: Jacinto's Remnant. Any Gears fans should grab this one, you'll love it.

 

[Mary Kay]

"Impact" by Douglas Preston and Linclon Child. It's starting to get good!
Finished "Under the Dome" by Stephen King and "Terminal Freeze by Linclon Child.

 

[WolfAtTheDoor]

Currently reading Dragon Keepers by Robin Hobb ... I've been a fan of most of her series though never got into the Liveship Traders series or too much into the second Farseer series, but loved the original Farseer series and the Soldier's Son series, this one seems to a good start to this new series though.

Man....I wish I had time to finish that one MaryKay....I have been stuck at page 400(and something)for about two weeks now!..LOL!

The Wiz!

I read about two or three books a week on average, but they are my husbands picks, so they don't count.

Here's what I like:
Stephen King, James Siegel, The Lincoln Rhyme Series by Jeffery Deaver, Joseph Finder, Harlan Coben

Here's what I've read:
All of Ray Bradbury (except for "When Elephants Last in the Dooryard Bloomed", which I couldn't find a copy of to save my life) all the Kurt Vonnegut, Most of Shakespeare, the Odd series by Dean Koontz (strangely, I don't like much else he's written - though I still read most of it anyway) all of Jerzy Kosinski, all of Charles Bukowski, more...

My all-time favorites:
"the mosquito coast" by Paul Theroux
"to kill a mockingbird" by Harper Lee
"It" by Stephen King

do graphic novels count?
the Sandman series by Neil Gaiman
the "Swampthing" series by Len Wein
and of course "Maus" by Art Spiegelman

So much more, but my mind has gone blank.... I think I covered the good ones though.

Oh! The last book that I really loved was "The Romanov Prophecy" by Steve Berry. It ponders the mystery behind the execution of the last Tsar of Russia (Nicolas II) and the role that Rasputin played to the royal family and the mystery that some believe still surrounds Anastasia - could there be a royal heir yet?

But it's written in a style similar to Dan Brown's "The Davinci Code" - a fast paced mystery thriller.

Hi Rosa
"The Mosquito Coast" caught my eye and I looked up the reviews. This sounds like a good read!! I want to read this. Thanks for your reviews.

 

[glowgirl]

I am reading "A Winter's Tale" by Mark Helprin for the 7th time (I think it's the 7th) because it is just that good. I wish I could find another author I like as much......

 

[Metstoo]

Ysabel by Guy Gavriel Kay.

 

[notsoogood]

Just started Under The Dome by Stephen King

Good book!!! Hubby and I have discussed this concept before the book came out so I found it interesting. Well, a concept very similar but not exact. Won't say more in case you haven't read all of it yet!!!

I have banned myself from reading any Mark Twain, but that is only because I live in Hannibal, MO and it is everywhere.

Currently I am re-reading Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

 

[Metstoo]

Okay, I finished Ysabel and now I need to go back and read the Fionavar Tapestry. Good urban fantasy stories!

 

[suddenly]

I am reading some of Poe's short stories right now. In between books. After I have read a really really good book, it is hard for me to settle on another. They all seem bland till I find "that" book that trips my trigger again. So I do the short story bit until I do. For me thats hard because normally I don't care for any book that is under 500 pages.
