What are you reading?

[SnowflakeGirl]

That's good, ixcrisxi. Did you have "Great Expectations" for it? *badum-ching!* Seriously though, I remember reading that in junior high, and I really liked it.

SFG You are so smart I never heard of half.com, but I did get a copy there for under $3 as well (of course, I have to pay Canadian shipping :rolleyes). Our little prairie city library is okay, but the only Gaiman books they have are Neverwhere and Coraline which I've already read.

I'm glad you got it! I'm almost done myself, so we can have a chat about it over tea! Um, virtual, E-tea!

(btw, I would probably be doing better with I Know This Much Is True if it wasn't for Dominick and Dessa's baby dying of SIDS - I cringe and start sniffling every time it's mentioned...call me an oversentimental mom )

It's okay, I'm not even a mom yet, and every time I read those parts I needed the tissue box beside me.

Wow! I just read this whole thread and you people sure do have a huge variety of reading materials! I'm pretty picky about the books I read - no science fiction, no aliens, no out of body stuff, no Lord of the Rings stuff, but I love mysteries, family saga types, basically stories about real people, and also I love true crime - Ann Rule being my favourite in that area.

Right now I am reading ..... Empire Falls by Richard Russo. So far it's okay, but needs to have more spice to it, hopefully that's coming up.

Me too Rufus, I am also a fan of Anne Rule, I just started reading "Heart Full of Lies' and like with most of her books I can't put it down.

Just started "Swan Song" by Robert McMannon (sp)

AWESOME BOOK. Similar to The Stand by Stephen King but, much better.

It gave me nightmares though.......

"Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers." It's about what happens when we donate our body to science -- everything from letting cosmetic surgeons practice facelifts to serving as crash-test dummies. Fascinating.

, Snowie... I do have Great Expectations for it in fact. It's pretty good so far. Although, I think I should finish some of the leisure books that I've started and not finished (like the ones that I borrowed from Manny).

Night Shift By Stephen King.

A collection of short stories, just finished reading the first one "Jerusalem's Lot". Just about to start on "Graveyard Shift".

If you liked Jerusalem's Lot, now pick up the full-length book that the short story inspired, 'Salem's Lot.

Re-reading David Eddings "Belgarath, the Sorceror" til I get to the library! Related to his first series, The Belgariad.

I love sci-fi fantasy; Regency romances my secret pleasure (uh, so much for secret); humorous murder mysteries (recently discovered Den of Antiquity series by Tamar Myers) and love historical mysteries like Robin Paige and Anne Perry; historical romances; Nora Roberts, in a class of her own; Deepak Chopra; great spy books - can't remember favorites, "The Source" by Michener one of my all-time loves, and on and on.

I've seen the film, excellent.

I'll have to get the book now you've reminded me.
