What are you reading currently. I'm looking for a good book to read now.

babyhuggies · 04-06-2007

I am currently reading Lisey's story by stephen king....i have to admitt the past few weeks i have been into it,not his most exciting book,but i am a big fan of his books...

pwwbear · 04-06-2007

Reading Joan Didon's Book Year if Magical Thinking for the book club (it's okay) I belong to, But really enjoying The Book of Negros by Lawrence Hill.

People know I read alot, (usually a couple of books a week) so they keep asking me for suggestions, so I have kept a master list of books I really enjoyed over the years on my computer, and when someone asks I go through it and pick out what I think they would like. Sometimes I just print it out and hand it over if I don't know what they like.

|||111... what genre do you typically enjoy, and then those of us who share your tastes can be of more help.

martyp · 04-07-2007

By the way, I read an article recently on 10 things you should never buy new. I wish I could recall where I found it but... In any case, one of the things was books, and that made sense. Books are most often read only once, they really don't 'depreciate' in value, and are often sold second-hand in as good a condition as new.

I'm thinking that it would be fun & economical to share our favourite authors / titles and trade them for just the cost of shipping.

But that's me. My wife has accused my often of not having the character to make a buck off others.

ROSE · 04-07-2007

im reading... a few different books, but if i were to recommend one that is very good and you shouldnt miss, id tell you 'a tale of two cities' by charles dickens its my favourite book.
im interested in hearing what other great books others have read also... it helps to find the great ones!

lll111 · 04-07-2007

I'm lately into reading autobiographies/inspirational stories or some nice chic lit. But I'm open to other types as well.

bluebutterfly · 04-09-2007

i'm into true crime, i've read all the books about karla holmoka and paul barnado, i just bought a whole bunch of new true crime, i just read one about, a husband that murders his wife, and trys and gets away with it, and now i'm on a book called broken doll about a 7 year old that gets murdered raped and beaten. it really good

cywpamela · 04-09-2007

Havent found a good true crime book in awhile. Love true crime as well. Seems its the only kind I can get into.

Any suggestions?

CreativeNative · 04-09-2007

I really liked "Memoirs of a Geisha" the book is way better than the movie of course they always are. Books are always more descriptive.

bluebutterfly · 04-10-2007

hey cywpamela

i have read monster about (i think) andrea yetes, lol, but yeah i have some good books at home, i have like i said the book about the husband that kills his wife and trys to cover it up, and now i'm reading broken doll, another good one is, lullaby and good night. about 7 children that die and everyone thinks its to do with sids, but really the mother is poising them, and another one is about a mother that makes her sons murder her to daughters because she is jelious of there looks. those are just some of the books i've read, i have a whole box full, i think in the basement lol.

Minuet · 04-11-2007

Mary Higgins Clark is a favourite of mine (mystery) Also Jennifer Crusie if you want some light reading with a bit of humour and of course Maeve Binchy for a good story. Right now I am reading Wisdom of Menopause...very informative for us gals approaching that time in our lives. :shockingmonkey:

Spaz69 · 04-24-2007

I am ready Darkfall by Dean Koontz. He is one of my all time favorites.

ameliamarie · 05-05-2007

I just finished reading The Last Templar, it was really good, it could have done without all the religous mumbo jumbo, but still a good book

laura_h · 05-05-2007

Harry Potter #5 and The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury.

All4Freebies · 05-16-2007

I just finished a book called Dream Country written by Luanne Rice, nice big book of aprox 500 pages and really worth reading. This is the first time I've ever read a Luanne Rice book and it won't be the last because this book was absolutely captivating and I wished it hadda gone on forever! LOL

chantel · 05-16-2007
