  1. For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica is based on the Hemmingway book.
  2. Jeez my reading has picked up this month!
  3. I have been a member of audible for a few years now. I really like it, I think it is worth the cost if you are an audiobook fan. The Help was the best audiobook I've heard.
  4. I've just started Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. So far it has proved to be very entertaining.
  5. Never heard of her, but this book looks interesting. I think this will go in my library queue.
  6. Contagion. That was some scary stuff, scary because it was plausible.
  7. My musical tastes are so vast. Usually I'm listening to Classic Rock (Led Zep. Lynrd Skynrd...etc). But I do like Heavy Metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Motorhead), Blues/Rock (Jonny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepherd). I also listen to a lot of Classical music as well as Classical Church Music (Hymnals). I'd say these are the top 5 genre's I listen to on a regular basis.
  8. I have been happy with both my e-readers. I read a lot of things I would not normally read. There are free books out there available from Amazon/BN that are actually pretty good. It takes some searching. I don't usually read new releases, because they cost too much but I've read some. Usually I'm reading older books that I've always wanted to read. I just received my first 'lend me' book on Kindle. My friend Lent me "Catching Fire" which I have 2 weeks to read. No matter which ereader you get, you will love it.
  9. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it was only released in the UK or something. I can by it from a third party so it is not impossible to get. But I do find it odd that it isn't available on line directly from Amazon or B&N. Who knows.
  10. This one is a non-fiction, I have not read it myself. It is on my TBR list though. The Sociopath Next Door: The Ruthless Versus the Rest of Us by Martha Stout
  11. I go back and forth between my Kindle and my Nook. I own a 2nd-Generation Kindle, and a Nook color. I love them both. I have noticed I read way more books with the e-readers. And books I would (could) not normally carry. Such as 800 page hard cover books by Stephen King et al. I want to read them, but with shoulder problems they are difficult to cary to and from work, so the readers are perfect. I don't know how I lived all my life without this device!
  12. Catching Fire - Suzanne Collins. Started it yesterday.
  13. Yes often, I'm in there at least 2x a week. However, If I can get those darn books to download on my Nook, I will probably be in there a lot less. I have mastered getting the audiobooks on the ipod, this is my last hurdle. The New York Public Library is an amazing system. I don't know how other libraries around the worlds are run, but I'm happy I live in in NYC.
  14. My daughter has to write a short story for class. Her characters are named after soda pop brands. This was required. How unique is that!

  15. I went to read about The Guardian Angel's Journal: Carolyn Jess-Cooke, it looks good, how did you like it?
  16. Conversations with God is a brilliant set of books. I also enjoyed the books by Paul Ferrini. It is a series called "Reflections of the Christ Mind". Has anyone here read those?
  17. I looked for "Stairways" in my local library, but they don't carry it. Only Amazon carries it I believe. I also wanted to buy it for my Nook or Kindle, but it only comes in hard copy AND Amazon doesn't sell it, I have to go through one of their carriers. Didn't this book come out earlier this year? Why is it so hard to find? Can you find just the New Testament in book form? That is much lighter to carry around. It is less than half the size of the full Bible.
  18. Well I am partial to mine. LOL! All you Brits should recognize him. The only photo I can find of him reading something.
