Stephanie2008 Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I'm starting a book today for uni called Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes A Baby's brain by Sue Gerhardt. I've been waiting to read this for a while.
SueK Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Finally finished Rebecca last night and was planning to start The Heretic's Daughter but not really sure I'm in the mood after finishing such a great book. I think I'll read more of the same for now. So I'm starting more of Du Maurier's short stories called The Breaking Point - which happened to arrive from amazon this morning. Good timing:D
ned Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 About 400 pages of IT still to go, rather enjoying it.
carm Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I started Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris this morning
Jay Landsman Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Spent some of the day reading Naked Lunch, but it's really hard to get through. I keep having to read over parts of it, so that it registers with me. It's clear to see that Burroughs wasn't a big fan of sentence structure.
Kate Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I finished both The Last Continent by Terry Pratchett and Destinations by Sheila O'Flanagan today
catwoman Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I started Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris this morning Oh that is a good quick read. Look forward to hearing what you think.
Lucybird Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Not read anything today but got a load of books back from a friend, and sent the first two Sookie books back to Weave
Book Fiend Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I managed to read 20 pages of Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood at lunch, taking me to page 120! I am absolutely loving this book! This is my 3rd Margaret Atwood book and I think she is just an amazing writer.
Charm Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I took The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman out of the library so that is next. A book with pictures woohoo! I really adored this book, I hope you like it 246 pages into Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Hmmm... It is getting better but still not gripping me. It has the potential to do so. I have the rest of the day off so I am planning on reading it and hopefully finishing it by three, as I need to take it back today. Please read the second book, Stolen, before you give up totally on the series, trust me, they do get better! I started Frostbitten yesterday and am already half way through, nice to see my mojo again!

I have read a fair bit today and it is getting better, I will give Stolen a go, depending on how good the end is, it maybe after Xmas.
Kylie Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 After a slow weekend, where I barely read anything, I have picked up again now and hope to finish The Shadow of the Wind by tomorrow. The mystery is picking up now and the threads are starting to come together, but there is still a way to go. I'm really enjoying it.
whitegold Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I've been reading From Dead to Worse lately, hoping to finish it by the end of the week so I can move on to Dead and Gone
Lu Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Enjoy xxx amazing series ....i read those a few months ago, couldn't put them down.
Lu Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Made my way to about page 120 of Bitten last night and am really enjoying myself! I'm trying to finish it so I can lend it to my friend on Sunday, but we'll see how motivated I can be . Today I was reading fan-fic before work. Does that count as activity?! By Kelley Armstrong? I am loving this series... I'm currently waiting for the 3rd book to arrive in my library, and until it does i'm reading Men of the otherworld...Which is about Clayton and how he got Bitten and what not...Very good =D
catwoman Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 (edited) I have 30 pages left of Bitten by Kelley Armstrong...It's Ok. I will read the next book before I make a decision. But at the moment, I am not that impressed ******EDIT******** Ok finished Bitten and finished my review. Starting Witch & Wizard by James Patterson. I really like the first three in the Maximum Ride series. Heard this was his newest YA book so I thought I would give it a shot. Typical Patterson book - Fairly big font and not that many pages so I think I may finish by the time I go to bed! Edited November 24, 2009 by catwoman
martymcfly3004 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I read the first story in the metamorphosis by Kafka. I really don't think it translates all that well to modern days and I really didn't enjoy it. Read about 2 pages of the title story and was getting the same feeling. Think its a book that would be ideal for a philosophy class rather than on a train home. Not going to finish it, tonight im going to start 1984! Wanted to read it for ages.
Kate Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I'm listening to Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett and planning to read more of 204 Rosewood Lane by Debbie Macomber today. I've got some reviews to write too
Chrissy Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Despite having a lost mojo (or maybe because of), and despite the fact that I should be spending money ONLY on Crimbo presents, today I ordered 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', and 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' both by Stieg Larsson. I have been wanting them for ages, and I finally bit the bullet. I'm excited about finally having them - I'm hoping they may entice my mojo home!
northernnutter Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Just finished reading, "The Host", by Stephenie Meyer. Really enjoyed it! Interesting premise. After all the great reviews on here, onto "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" next.
Katrina1968 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I may be reading two books at a time:blush: I started Someone Knows My Name by Lawrence Hill but got side tracked by Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. So, I'll bite the bullet and read them both!
catwoman Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 Despite having a lost mojo (or maybe because of), and despite the fact that I should be spending money ONLY on Crimbo presents, today I ordered 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', and 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' both by Stieg Larsson. I have been wanting them for ages, and I finally bit the bullet. I'm excited about finally having them - I'm hoping they may entice my mojo home! Fantastic! Just finished the girl who played with fire and it is amazing!!! The beginning is a little long with The Girl with the dragon tattoo, but it is amazing at the end! Just finished reading, "The Host", by Stephenie Meyer. Really enjoyed it! Interesting premise. After all the great reviews on here, onto "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" next. Whooo hoooo!
Charm Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 i'm reading Men of the otherworld...Which is about Clayton and how he got Bitten and what not...Very good =D Me too . I will read the next book before I make a decision. Please do, its way better Despite having a lost mojo (or maybe because of), and despite the fact that I should be spending money ONLY on Crimbo presents, today I ordered 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo', and 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' both by Stieg Larsson. I have been wanting them for ages, and I finally bit the bullet. I'm excited about finally having them - I'm hoping they may entice my mojo home! Oh I hope it comes back soon for you, I know the feeling only too well lately I finished Frostbitten by Kelley Armstrong last night and started straight into The Men Of The Otherworld by the same author, I'm halfway through already! Helllooo mojoooo!
sirinrob Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 just finished (in one sitting) the 'Mayor of Casterbridge' by Thomas Hardy. Thinking about which Hardy to read next.....
Dimitra Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 I read some more of The Catcher in The Rye. I really like Holden.
