I am going to read a Boy called IT next. I am almost finished with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Well...I have preordered the new Harry Potter on amazon.....

that whole series is amazing, but it's a hard read.

US Magazine!

I like pictures........

I've never been a "reader"

Blue, it's a series? I thought it was just one book. I will have to get them! I understand how it could be hard to read, though...my friend told me a little bit about it. It sounds very very sad. I hate that people abuse their children!!!

yes, there are three books.

a child called it, the lost boy, & a man named Dave.

it's a telling of (i think) the third worst case of child abuse in the State of California's history.

it's really sad, and at times (a lot of times) hard to bear - but it is also inspiring.

prepare yourself before you read it... not that you really can.

I want to read a child called it, I'm just not sure I'll be able to get through it. I may just have to buck up and buy the book.

i picked up Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez today at the used book store
for $10 ! go me!

it would've been $30 new, and it even looks new, i don't think it's even been read by anyone else.

i also ordered The Perks of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky since none of our local bookstores carry a very wide selection. unfortunatley.

a perfect day for me would be having unlimited money to buy books all day with, i love books

me too!

I bought 2 of James Pattersons books at Sams for under $5 each. Im reading the first one 'First to Die'

I love books, too. I should have been a librarian, or a book shop owner.

Right now I am reading: The Two Towers, a historical mystery called The Broken Vessel by Kate Ross, Flags of Our Fathers about the flag raisers on Iwo Jima. I also have Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich (sp?) to read next. It's about living on minimum wage, and how hard it is to survive.

My dream would be to sit in a hammock or gazebo and read smutty romance novels all day.

I really like Jude Deveraux but I've got LOTS of Danielle Steel from a cheap-store in town. People make fun and ask if I've read about any "man sausage's" lately. It's all in good humour and I can't help but laugh with them. I don't usually like stuff about war, but Steel has got one or two that I've come to like.

Deveraux will always be my favorite I think. Especially The Velvet Series! My favorite!

I just finished Lilian Jackson Braun's latest - The Cat Who Brought Down the House I've read all 25 of these books and love them.

I love The Cat Who series, too.

I just started reading She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. It is really good. I can hardly put it down.

I have that book brenda - its great! I have read it over and over. if you like that book, then may I suggest his other book 'i know this much is true'

well i finished Lucky by Alice Sebold and i'm now on to The Perks Of Being A Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky -- which is just wonderful, so far. the observance of the narrator is precious and brave. incredibly unique and you find yourself just giddy with the language and flow of sentences

Well..instead of reading thriller I am actually reading something totally different this time. I saw an interview on Larry King of this very interesting lady by the name of Barbara Corcoran. Of course, she was there promoting her new book.....yada, yada, yada....

Her career is organized around 25 life lessons (e.g., "If you don't have big breasts, put ribbons on your pigtails"; "You've got to bully a bully"; "Never be ashamed of who you are").

In her book she explains many snappily worded lessons by drawing on various crises from her company's history and bits from her childhood.

SO-I ran right out an bought her book - I love the cover...To the point, IMO ...

OK...most of you know how I am... can't explain doodley without a visual.........LOL

i saw her on tv too, and I thought she made lots of good points
