Now I'm reading Bag of Bones by Stephen King. I'm only on the 4th or 5th chapter and its pretty ok

[bookfanforever]

Right now I'm currently reading W.A.R The Unauthorized biography of William Axl Rose. I've read it already but want to give it another try to get a better understanding. Its a great book for rock n roll lover and so as Guns N Roses fans.

Hey there textbookonly. I have read three of Salman's novels. Midnight's Children is an amazing book. As usual with all of his writing it is very very descriptive. Let us know what you think of Satanic Verses, I have never read it.

But I think right now the book is more interesting, well, all of us would like to see audio visual effects on that movie, but I think my brain is more imaginative while reading this book , any suggestions what books more interesting to read? Thanks anyway.

I just finished rereading Harry Potter 7. It was very good, just as I remember. 3 is my favorite, so enjoy that one when you get to it...

I've been trying to read classics lately, and throwing in a fun book every now and then. Currently, I am rereading Lord of the Flies. I'm rehashing on a lot of books I "read" in high school, but you know how that goes... I read them, but read a lot of CliffNotes too. So, I'm catching up with the books I was supposed to read a long time ago. I find a can appreciate them more now, just reading them for fun, than as an educational requirement.

I usually read two books at a time. One for learning and one for escaping in to.
Just finished 'The thrift book' by India Knight (very light reading).
And almost done with 'Misadventures in the Middle East' by a Henry Hemming. Interesting, a young painter straight out of Uni (he's a Pom) decides to drive through the middle east post-9/11, painting pics. Good. A reminder that people are just people, the world over. Good, bad and in-between.

I regret nothing more these days than using cliff notes during high school. I scooped up a lot of the classics last year and have worked my way through much of them. Lord of the Flies was great the second time through. Catcher in the Rye was never required during school, but I sat down with it anyway. I was shocked at how incredibly entertaining it was! Fahrenheit 451 is another that I am forever grateful for forcing myself to delve back into it after missing it in grade school. Slaughterhouse-5, terrific! Brave New World, thought provoking! I guess there's a reason why they all have received "classic" status eh? Up next, after a Bryson book, is To Kill a Mockingbird. I aced a test in high school on TKAM, but never read a word of it. Can't wait to see what I missed

Hi! Now I am reading Martin Eden or better to say I am rereading this great book! I read it first time when I was about 15 and this book imprested me greatly. It seems that there is nothing extraordinary in this work but still something makes me read this book over and over again and evry time like the first one!

Now I am reading The Selfish Jean.

I am currently reading the Outlander Series by Diana Gabaldon. I am thoroughly enjoying it. mid 17th-century Scotland. 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'm into parenting and family books right now and I'm reading So Sexy So Soon by Diane Levin, PH D and Jean Kilbourne, ED.D. As a mother of an elementary school aged kid, it's a little disurbing.

The subtitle is The New Sexualized Childhood and What Parents Can Do To Protect Their Kids.

I've just started Hannibal by Thomas Harris. Once I'm finished, I'm going to start The Lord of the Rings trilogy; my dad has been bugging me for years to read those. He says once I start them I'll cry for putting them off for so long, haha.

To Kill A Mockingbird is superb! Atticus is, without a doubt, the most admirable character in all of literature. The humility and grace of the man!
Hope you enjoyed it.

I am currently re-reading The Hobbit, as a prelude to re-reading The Lord of the Rings. And am also reading The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis (this book has really revolutionized my prayer life, thus far).
