What's Everyone Reading??

Hey Goblin, wear your costume to opening night for RoTK and you might win a prize! We wore costumes to TTT last year and won second and third prizes.

ack, I can't seem to get through the Dead Zone.
I mean it's a good book and interesting but I just
can't seem to get in the mood to read it.

Any of you ever have that problem, have a good book
but can't seem to ever get into it?

yes i have read books like that,usually by that point i
throw it across the room lol

Lord of the Rings again. Recap before the return of the king comes out. I must've read all three books (or all seven depending which set you get) about 10 times.

I also just did a re-read of Lord of the Rings. I stopped counting how many times I'd read the series at 30-something, I re-read it at least 3 times a year, and first read it when I was 13. That was, oh, nevermindhowmanyyears ago!

*sigh* still reading Blackwood Farm by Anne Rice....I'm reluctant to finish it, because I love the characters so much that I hate to see it end. I find myself readin very slowly, to prolong the experience of the book. Does anyone else do this , or am I a freak?

I did that with The Time Traveller's Wife. I think I had a bit of a crush on Henry.

Ok...I left that part out to save myself embarrassment. I have a big crush on Lestat and Tarquin from The Blackwood Farm. I've loved Lestat foreeevvvvvvvver

hi all, glad to see alot of readers here!!

i just love to read, stephen king, dean koontz and anne rice are my favorites.

right now i am reading "seizure" by robin cook, it is pretty suspensful so far.


melissa, anne rice has a new book out called "blood canticle" it is a continuation of "blackwood farm" i read it a few weeks ago and it is really good.

Yup- I'm hoping Santa brings it for me this year

More Quinn- yay!!!

I just finished reading, The Secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd. I was number 11 on the wait list at the public library and had to wait almost a month to check it out (they had at least 7 or 8 copies floating back and forth, among all of our county libraries). So, I know that is a popular book.

A book club I'm in at work read it, but I couldn't get a copy until after they discussed it. They picked, The DiVinci Code, next, which I happened to read while they were all reading the other book. Anyone considering reading it, should. The story moves along fast. There are a lot of interesting ideas suggested and much for discussion.

At the moment I'm reading a short little regency romance. They're nice and quick between some of the longer reads. I have several library books to finish reading soon, too.

Since joining this site, I've also been reading ingredients on the back of cat and dog food.

I just finished reading Stephen King's newest Dark Tower series, "The Dark Tower V, Wolves of The Calla" and can't wait for the last two. Supposedly, they will be out next year.

I finished Anne Rice's new one, Blood Canticle, this week. She ties together the Vsmpire Chronicles and the Mayfair Witches. In this week's People magazine, she says that this will be the last of the Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair witches.

Currently, I'm reading Leon Uris' latest, O'Hara's Choice. It's a fictionalized account of the Marine Corps, from the Mexican War, through WWI. So far, I'm at the brink of the Spanish-American War.

Currently i'm reading "The Poisonwood Bible" then i will read "Mother Of Pearl" byMelinda Haynes followed by "Hard Eight" by Janet Evanowich

I'm about to start the new Anne Lamott book
(I can't remember the name)

I just finished the first book in Stephen King's Dark Tower Series, and I rushed right out to get The Drawing of The Three! I'm hooked!!

I am reading 'The Dogs of Babel' which is quite interesting and a little different. Its about a man whose wife died by falling from the apple tree and the only witness is the dog and so he tries to teach the dog to talk to find out what happened that day.

A little while ago, I finished reading a light mystery, Margaret Maron's 'Slow Dollar', which was interesting, had a few silly plot twists, but I overlooked willingly, since I really enjoyed the Deborah Knott character.

Last week I finished another fiction, Dan Brown's 'Angels and Demons'. I thought the plot was somewhat absurd and predictable, but I really enjoyed the well-reseached art history, and the timeless debate of religion vs. science. I am looking forward to reading his other book, 'The DaVinci Code'.

I am currently on a history, Ross King's 'Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling'. It's wonderfully fascinating, and well told so far. It may be interesting for those without an art history background but wish to read about Michelangelo's life.

Okay, I just finished Dogs of Babel and I hated it. Its awful! It talks of mutilating them, just to try and make them talk

Now I am reading Sutter's Cross which is a lovely book so far.
