Doctor Zhivago. A bit of a difficult read with the different names for the same character, etc. Struggled through the first 100 pages or so, but enjoying it. I'm about half way through right now.

I'm devouring The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. It's addictive!

Has anybody read any books by Gregory? I really like historical fiction and I'm considering giving another one of her books a try after The Other Boleyn Girl. Which would you guys suggest?

I'm most of the way through "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy & I'm thinking it might be a good idea to keep a cyanide tablet to hand just in case this book is prophetic.

I am currently reading Cincinnatus: The Secret Plot to Save America.
Interesting thriller-combines fixing PGA tournaments, the paranormal and a murder mystery all in one.

Also -- it is connected to this real life secret society of descendents of the Continental Army.

Pretty cool.

I'm told Water for Elephants is very good.

Just started Rules of Prey by John Sanford on recommendation. Only a couple of chapters in and it's definitely got my attention. We'll see how it goes.

The central female character, Claire Randall, has been swept back in time after walking innocently into a stone circle shortly after World War II. A former WWII nurse, Claire makes her way in the fierce world of the clans through her medical skills and her blossoming relationship with a tall, red-haired Highlander, James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser. By page 250, you will be in love with Jamie Fraser, too, mark my words!
I have a 45 minute commute to work so I listen to books on CD. I got the entire series as a set of 28 CD's from the library. It was great.

I've started Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I hope to have read all of her novels by the end of the year. I've already read Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey.

I am reading "Shakespeare's Truth by Rex Richards". I am at start of the book now and not able to put it down before completion.
Book contains lots of secrets about Queen Elizabeth, Royal Family & Prince William, facts about Shakespeare and many more interesting. If any body like books by Dan Brown, John Grisham, Ken Follett, Bernard Cornwell, and you want a page turner with serious food for thought.... then I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy reading Shakespeare’s Truth!.
You can find books details and its purchase details at its amazon link or can be in direct contact of book's author (I did this).

I appreciate the research done by author's father and spirit of author to complete and publish this book.
