I'm about to start "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer.

I just finished "Night" by Elie Wiesel. Dang!! Short read, about 2 afternoons worth, but what a powerful story!

I picked up an Ann Rule book today "No Regrets" to start reading next.

I am just about to finish (The Jesus Papers) by Michael Baigent!
It is a very interesting read to say the least!

I have just read stone cold.. fantastic book.

Right now reading a book for a damn book report for school called O' Pioneers....

so far egh .....Not really a book person, but since got to do the report got to read the book.

I received some new books for Christmas so I'm going to be reading Stephen King's Lisey's Story, Dean Koontz's Brother Odd, and If Chins Could Kill by Bruce Campbell.

I just finished reading "Faery Tale" by Raymond Feist.

For a writer mostly known for writing fantasy this is a surprising King-esque thriller-fantasy. It is not situated in a fictive word, but actually in our real one, at about the time it was written ('88 I believe)

It was slow to start but the finish really captured me (as in most King-novels)

No one got me a book for Christmas, so I might go buy one that ya all liked for myself. Winter is wasted without a really good book. Book marking page to check back quickly.

Hey I got the same book for x-mas Dean Koontz/brother odd. Also recieved the 11 th book from the series The wheel of time by Robert Jordan look forward to it

i'm just finishing Terry Pratchetts The Fifth Elephant, then i'm going to read Jingo

i recently read the book version of Black Hawk Down, which was awsome

I can't wait to read Brother Odd! I love Koontz. I've started Lisey's Story by King and it looks to be excellent.

Bella, are you paying attention??

I read Odd Thomas - the first one, I haven't red Brother Odd yet, I will get the book though. I loved Odd Thomas, even my husband who doesn't read Dean Koontz books thought it was great.

The last two books I read were The Exorcism of Annaleise Michel and Hostage to the Devil.

If anyone ever came into my house and saw my book collection they would probably think me a right wierdo LOL

Hi Lotus Flower:

I read Hostage to the Devil, but I was wondering "Did you like the book 'The Exorcism of Annaliese Michel, and would you recommend it?"

Platos, The Republic



A very interesting read

I like to read non-fiction so I'm reading William Henry's Starwalkers.

I just started reading "Condensed Chaos: An Introduction to Chaos Magic" by Phil Hine.
Yes, it's an 'Occult' book so people could debate for days whether it's fiction or non, but it's written as non.
I'm not very far in yet, but the subject of the book (Chaos Magic) is apparently the practice of magic at its core, stripped of unnecessary dogma and fantasy, except when momentarily believing dogma/fantasy serves as an effective means to an end. I like it, it seems to draw backing from Quantum Physics, but I know nothing of the field so I can't tell just how accurately it draws.

Hi Isis

Yes I did enjoy The Exorcism of Annaliese Michel, I would recommend it if you like this sort of thing too, especially as it was a true story. I got the book off Amazon, the Author is Felicitas D Goodman. There is a lot more detail in the book than the film "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" had, bearing in mind the film was very sympathetic to the true story.

Worth getting!

I'm a non-fiction girl myself; so I have got stuck into

1) Peacemakers - about the Paris Peace Conference after WWI; and
2) Collapse by Jared Diamond

You can see what my passsion is...

(What? History? Me? Heavens no! )

Just got my hands on Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil and cannot wait to start it!!

The Queen of Sheba and Her Only Son Menyelek (I)

The
KEBRA NAGAST

Sacred Texts

Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince, and Cross Bones (?) by Kathy Reichs.
And Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

All of this in Dutch, not reading anything in English at the moment.

The Sparrow and Children of God, by Mary Doria Russell:

earth intercepts signals from an alien world, not mathematical but musical, alien voices in song. while the governments of earth debate what to do, the catholic church sends jesuits to this world.
"they meant no harm".
mary doria russell had never written fiction before, she was an academic and technical writer. but she had dreams of mutilated hands, and this story grew from that dream.
these two books are at the top of my all-time best books list.

for a light read, Telegraph Days, by Larry McMurtry; also his Berrybender series. hysterically funny....

I'm currently reading "The Queen of Peace Visits Medugorje" about 6 children who have/are experiencing Marian apparitions in Medugorje, Yugoslavia.

Sightings: UFOs

crypto

"Untold stories of the Navy Seals"

"Phantom" by Terry Goodkind.
Another of those "well I started reading the series, so I might as well finish it" authors.
Him and Robert Jordan, both could be used as sleeping aids.

EDIT: Book is so boring, I got the name wrong. LOL.

Time for another revival of this thread...

I am currently in the middle of Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. It's a great read. If you liked the movie, you'll like the book.

Ive just finished, Arthur C Clark 2001 a space odessey.
the ending is totally diffrent to the movir ending.
the movie ending is only the start of the book ending minus the spacecraft blowing up.
I recommend you give it a read.

Is the book better than the movie? Because I watched about a half hour of those apes in the beginning and had to stop. How anyone sits through all that I'll never know.

If the book is more interesting I might give it a go.

I'm currently Reading " Their Eyes Were Watching God" By: Zora Neale Hurston

       "Burning Candles"
Tabitha King / Michael McDowell


Begun by Michael McDowell and finished after his death by Tabitha King.
a Southern gothic saga of murder, guilt, innocence, corruption, and survival, in the voices of the living and the dead.

awesome read!!

Sounds Awesome!!!

I am almost half way through 'Cell' by Stephen King. It's about the end of the civilized world caused by cell phones.

Am currently reading the Lollipop Shoes by Joanne Harris - the sequel to Chocolat and just as fabulous. Joanne Harris has the most wonderful writing style, it sounds so poetic and smooth.

I'm currently reading "New Moon" by Stephanie Meyer, which is the second book in the "Twilight" series.

I'm also reading "Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen.

After looking that one up I put it on my to-read list. It sounds interesting!

Along Came A Spider by James Patterson
Psycological thriller about a crazed serial kidnapper. Very good...

I am also reading Life After God by Douglas Coupland. It's a collection of short stories, it's a great (and quick!) read.

One of my favourite books

If anyone can find it, read Mercy By David Lyndsay. Brilliant.

If you like James Patterson, try reading Val McDermid, she's good too.

I am reading Scar Tissue at the moment by Anthony Kiedis...Its taking me AGES...I just can't get into it. I know an autobiography is about 'yourself' but I have never read one that is so self indulgent and where someone kisses their own bum soooo much. The struggle with addiction is interesting but when it comes to Women and Music I just have to put it down!.

Scar Tissue was.... yuk... Put it down while you can RockChick....

I am reading 'Moonfall' by Jack McDevitt. It's one of his older stand-alone novels but so far it's quite enjoyable. It's essentially a natural disaster novel, which involve's a massive comet hitting the moon which leads to vast chuncks of the moon smashing into earth, causing tidal waves, earthquakes etc......

Bag of Bones - King

This is an awesome book!

Finished Everything is Illuminated a couple days ago.

Now reading The Motorcycle Diaries by Ernesto Guevara.

I am reading The War of Souls Triliogy By Weis and Hickman

Very cool book and a nice read.

I'm reading "The Black House" - which is the sequel to "The Talisman" - by Stephen King and Peter Straub It's taken about half the book for things to really start kicking off, but it's a great book anyway

In the middle of "Insomnia" by Stephen King........

an excellent book with ties to the Dark Tower.

About an old fella who starts suffering from Insomnia after his Wife's death only to gain perception and vision into an underlying Universe .

Meanwhile the town of Derry is on the brink from a group of radical pro lifers and an icon of the Women's lib movement is coming to town to give a speech supporting a Women's clinic and shelter operating in Derry.

Needless to say, the old fella suffering from Insomnia soon realizes that happenings in this newly visible underlying Universe and the powder keg situation in Derry are not mutually exclusive.

Great King as usual

Derry is in like at least half of king's 18.46 billion works of literature...

So is the fictional town of CastleRock

I am not sure, but I think King may be from Derry or lived there or something.
