dtrpath27 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 You really should! It's so enjoyable and so different.
green Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I started A Cry In The Night by Tom Grieves yesterday-modern day crime with witches-and bought Red Rising by Pierce Brown-sci-fi-and The Wreckage by Michael Crummey-Newfoundland social story.
Athena Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I've started to read and am just over half way through in Robert Jordan and Teresa Patterson - The World of Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time. It's quite good so far and I'm getting lots of good memories of the series as I'm reading the book and learning more about the world.
pontalba Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I think I'm wrung out after two Faulkner's in a row, don't know what is next. Whatever falls off the closest stack, I suppose.
Sofia Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I think I'm wrung out after two Faulkner's in a row, don't know what is next. Whatever falls off the closest stack, I suppose. Close your eyes, spin around a few times and point. There's your next book
pontalba Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Close your eyes, spin around a few times and point. There's your next book LOL, that's about it. Still haven't done it.......
Athena Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 29% read of The Art of Racing in the Rain x I love that book !
geordie9 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 just finished reading a decent football book full of facts, Who Invented The Stepover And Other Crucial Football Conundrums. And nearly finished Bentley Littles The Return.
frankie Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 29% read of The Art of Racing in the Rain ! How are you liking it? I hope you love it! An amazing read. I'm also loving all the Rosie Project posts on this thread I'm happy that so many are giving this great book a go! I can only seem to get into re-reading at the moment, so I've been re-reading Adrian Mole diaries (those of his 30s, which I've only read once before). I only have a few dozen pages of The Weapons of Mass Destruction left, I have no idea what I could possibly read next.
pontalba Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Last night I started The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. Read it decades ago, don't remember a thing. Loving it.
Devi Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I haven't done much reading but I did buy a few books.
Anna Begins Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Finished The Mammoth Hunters By Jean M Auel. A hefty 720 pages. I was thinking about reading the next book, but it's 850 pages! I'm not ready for another 800 pages. I'm not sure what's next.
Inver Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Just finished 'The Invention of Wings' by Sue Monk Kidd and reading 'The Good Father' by Diane Chamberlain.
geordie9 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Finished The Return by Bentley Little, decent read, think i'll start Wild Cards by George R R Martin next.
dtrpath27 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Finished Mr. Owita's Guide to Gardening. Not at all what I expected!
Kidsmum Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 At the moment i'm 100 pages into Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith, not sure wether i like it yet but as it's rated as one of the top 100 thrillers of all time i have high hopes for it
pontalba Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Finished The Big Sleep by Chandler last night, really 3 this morning, and started Blood Work by Michael Connelly. It's not in his Bosch series, and it's really good. I'm about 38% through it.
Anna Begins Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Read the sample to The Plains of Passage by Jean M Auel. Even the sample was long! I'm not sure I'm up to such a long book right now so I'm going for a nice 500 pg Jack Reacher book, 10th in the series. I've read all 10 and they never disappoint! I will take up Plains of Passage after Reacher though. Edited March 29, 2014 by Anna Begins
bobblybear Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I was going to start On The Beach last night, but wasn't in the mood for anything heavy, so I started Missing Gretyl by Si Page instead. It was raved about a little while ago on the Guardian book blog, with so many people recommending it. It's not my cup of tea at all really, but I will stick it out as it's only a fairly short read.

It's not my cup of tea at all really, but I will stick it out as it's only a fairly short read.... Actually, scrap that....I gave up on it last night. Life's to short to stick with rubbish books. I started Flowertown by SG Redling. Pretty decent so far.
Athena Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 Just finished 'The Invention of Wings' by Sue Monk Kidd and reading 'The Good Father' by Diane Chamberlain.x I hope you enjoy it ! I'm reading Sonja Kimpen - Sterker dan Stress: Weet wat je Wilt en Haal Meer uit je Leven which is quite interesting so far and has made me rethink some things. I've also started to read Peter V. Brett - The Demon Cycle 3: The Daylight War, which is good so far but I've only read the prologue . I liked books one and two in the series though so I have high hopes for this one .
Marie H Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 x I love that book ! It's really good isn't it! ! How are you liking it? I hope you love it! An amazing read. I love it too! A very philosophical dog.... , and I'm half way through the book now. Bought two ebooks today - Do No Harm:Stories of Life, Death and Brain Surgery by Henry Marsh - I heard him on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week recently, so I hope the book is good . Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Athena Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I've heard good things about Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, I hope you enjoy it (the book is on my wishlist).
Eleonora Posted March 30, 2014 Posted March 30, 2014 I loved Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children really much. I can't wait to read the second one of the serie, but it's not published in Italy yet. I read Lauren Weisberger's The Devil wears Prada, but it's not exactly my style. I'm not too sure what to read next, now.
