I just finished Columbine. There are a lot of myths about that shooting. It was disturbing, but very good.

Thanks for reminding me! I had forgotten I have a few Lee Child books, the Jack Reacher series, that I put aside. I'm still reading a couple books by Nelson DeMille .Originally Posted by Yosemite
I took this advice and am now on the last Jack Reacher book and on the waiting list at our library for the new one coming soon to a library near you.

I'm about to start reading again!!! The semester is over in 2 days and I have these books on my list to read:
Vicky Bliss series by Elizabeth Peters
of course: Dead and Gone by Charlane Harris (my most anticipated it comes out may 5th)
After Dark by Haruki Murakami
Bitten by Kelley Armstrong
and another favorite- Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon
I'm starting with the first of the Vicky Bliss and I plan to finish it on my flight overseas...and possibly finish another one. It will be a long flight- 9-10 hours and I never sleep on airplanes.

I'm currently reading: Calculus for Cats and Sherlock homes in Babylon. Calculus for cats explains how cats are the inventors of calculus and is a good read but I haven't really touched it in the last week or two. And Sherlock Homes in Babylon is a compilation of history of math articles and is a really good read.
I just finished Sleeping with Cats by Marge Piercy. It's a memoir. It was one of the best books I've read in a long time. What a life!
I am reading Water for Elephants right now and a non fiction: The mindful way through depression. Both are very good. The elephant book is really well written and is flying by! I recommend it.

I just read Counterplay by Robert Tannenbaum, and The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver (I love both authors!) I'm reading Stalingrad: The fateful Seige 1942-1943 by Anthony Beevor now. ...and a bunch of SEC filings.

I was reading The master and margarita by Mihail Bulgakov until last week but i didn't get a chance to finish it because classes started
Just finished Raney by Clyde Edgerton and Tell Me Where It Hurts- a Day of Humor, Hope, and Healing in My Life as an Animal Surgeon by Nick Trout. And now I've started on High Fidelity by Nick Hornby.
I'm reading a biology textbook
Before bed I've been reading the second Wheel of Time book but I usually only manage a few pages before it's lights off.

ohh water for elephants was great and I am not a huge fan of non-fiction. I also liked My Sister's Keeper by Jody Piccoult (spelling?)
lets see right now I am almost finished with Something For the Pain by Dr. Paul Austin its his autobiography about working as an ER doc.
I have started the Vampire Chronicles - I have the first 5 to read.
If anyone likes mystery novels or is looking for a new author to explore Boris Akunin is a good writer. I enjoyed the books. the main character is Erast Fandorin. It's russian translated into English. I can't wait for more in the series to be translated. the winter queen and Leviathan are two of the names of his books.
Ahh! There is a thread about reading! Why did I never notice this!?
Are any of you avid readers sci-fi or fantasy fans? I
sci-fi and fantasy. I also enjoy mystery, thrillers, romance, non-fiction... okay, pretty much anything.
I just finished Feast of Souls and Wings of Wrath by C.S. Friedman, one of my favorite sci-fi/fantasy authors. Alas, the third book for the trilogy is not yet published, so I am left with a cliffhanger. Bummer.

I just finished 5 novels from the "House of Night" vampyre series.

Actually, I devoured them in less than a week.

So, if you read them so quickly, I should assume that you enjoyed them? What was your favorite thing about them, or why were they so good?
I found the plot interesting. And the books are well written and the story flowed very well from book to book. Plus I found the character development exceptional and as you read you really felt like you knew them. In addition to that it was quite spiritual, but not in a religious way. It is a blending of vampyre, wicca and Cherokee rituals/spiritualism. And of course the classic good vs evil.
I am not a fan of fantasy novels but I do like some sci-fi. There is a book by Caleb Carr (who also has a few awesome historical thriller novels) called Killing Time. I really liked it. He has a way of making his character seem so real. I found myself getting lost in his writing. You feel apart of the people and the places. It was very good.
