What book are you currently reading?

[chook]

I'm reading the Steig Larsen trilogy and am on the third book - The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Loving it and wishing there were more books in the series.

[galvo]

There could be, chook. He had half completed a fouth book before he died. His partner has the manuscript, I believe.

I LOVE my NookColor   

I'm reading "A Rope and A Prayer"  by David Rhodes

A true story about him being kidnapped by the Taliban.

I just finished "A Reliable Wife" by Robert Goolrick.  I was reading it on my Nook Color and I think I wore a hole in the screen from tapping so fast to get it finished - it was a real page-turner (or tapper!)

A little of this, a little of that...
Just starting the Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.  It's good to catch on some classics I didn't cover in school.  "The horror, the horror!"
The second book in the Fablehaven series for kids, so I can keep up with what my nephew is reading.
Just ordered a couple more books in the Aunt Dimity series on my book swap.  These are cute and fast reads.
Also browsing a couple of coffee table books I checked out from the library on Art Deco style for some design inspiration.

I'm working my way through the 'Martin Beck' series who are to Scandinavia what Ed McBain was to the USA. Although they (a husband and wife team) wrote in 1963 their books are still great reads and give you a good look at social life in the 60's.

Sounds like me on some days     

[willowtreewren]

I am reading "The Wilder Life", a book about the author's obsession with Laura Ingalls Wilder. It has a breezy and funny tone to it.

I just finished Dewey- the Library Cat

[Poppylicious]

I finished Life of Pi on Monday (for the second time; love it!) and instantly began reading my Bargain Purchase of Last Week, Diana Wynne Jones' House of Many Ways (picked up for one pound in Poundland ... I ♥ that shop.)

[billybags]

I am reading another Tilly Bagshawe book. Her books are full of sex, glamor, and intrigue,  mostly set in Hollywood. OK they are a bit steamy but  so what.  At 66 I can dream.

[cattlekid]

I just started a non fiction book "The Filter Bubble" about Internet personalization and its drawbacks/benefits.  It is really fascinating and will make you really rethink your use of Google, Facebook, etc.

[Chris]

I'm thinking of stealing my mom's Nook Color so I can read books easier, but I am old fashioned and still like to feel a book. Catch 22

[Sugarlump]

THE CONTROL BOOK by Peter Masters (Dominance and submission) Very interesting....

[willowtreewren]

I just finished the Burning Wire, by Jeffrey Deaver. Man, Deaver can give you chills. I love the Lincoln Rhyme books that he writes.

I have been reading a lot of YA lit (Young Adult literature) So far I read the companion book to "The Giver" by Lois Lowry It is a science fiction type of book pretty good I liked the The Giver better then Gathering Blue, the third book in the series is The Messenger.

I also am reading "Forge", "Chains" and then "Ashes" by Laurie Halse Anderson. These are historical fiction novels based about slavery and the Amercan Revolution. Really captivating trio of books....

Then two nights ago I reread the sisterhood of the traveling pants....yes it does have a movie based on the book. Pretty girlie, friends are great, feel good book.

xo,

Who was the author CK  I would like to read this??? 

[Riki]

I cried through the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, simply because I have no friends like that, that you've known all your life.  I had no really close friends until high school, and then there were only two.  Both of them are dead now. I get a little jealous of those people who have friends that they've had since elementary school.

As for the book I'm reading right now, Cell, by Stephen King.  It's a little on the weird and creepy side, but it's definitely making me think differently of cellphones and the way that we use them these days

I am reading The Help on my NookColor, via the library. I love borrowing this way! OK, it took us ages to suss out how to get the book onto the Nook, but now that we know how, I am so excited. I missed downloading Water For Elephants - by the time I saw the email from the library that my number had come up, it had been longer than 3 days and they gave it to the next person. I have been sent to the back of the queue. (# 217!)

I only have 7 days to read this book, so I have to concentrate on making time. I am enjoying the poor, black, Southern patois - I keep hearing it in my head now. So far, just two chapters in, I have to say it is one of the most clever books, in its quiet way, that I've encountered in recent memory.

[MooseMom]

Loved both The Help and Water for Elephants but couldn't bring myself to see WFE, The Movie.  I'm hoping that The Help will translate well to the big screen (surely they won't film it in 3D ).

I'm reading three books at the same time, a first for me.  Usually I do not start one book until I finish the previous one, but circumstances landed three books in my lap at the same time.  One is Wolf's Hall which is on my nook...it's about the machinations behind the Henry VIII "great question".  Another is a Spanish gothic story that is just brilliant stuff, and the third came up available on my library queue.  It's The Snowman and is a creepy Swedish thriller; I haven't started this one yet, but I might go ahead and begin reading it since I have only a few weeks before I have to return it.

Just got through with Bill Bryson's new book, At Home, which was utterly fascinating.  I love all of his books.  I read Notes from a Small Island shortly after I myself moved to the UK, so this book had me roaring with laughter.
