Lynn Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I only have about 50 pages left of The Road and then im going to start either Jeffrey Deaver's The bodies left behind or Donna Tartt's My little friend ~ cant decide which Im also going to go and tidy out my book cupboard - maybe take some books that im not fussed about keeping to the local charity shop tomorrow
Peacefield Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Kate, glad to hear you picked up 'The Lost Book of Salem!' It was one of my favorite reads last year for sure . Lynn, have you read Tartt's first book 'Secret History?' I loved that one. I read a bit more of The Swan Thieves last night before bed but I'm being bad at this place I'm house-sitting. I'm not used to having 200+ TV channels and it's sucking me in I tell you! I'm hoping to resist when I get back from breakfast today and read lots.

Oh I hope you like this, it was my second favourite of the series I'm still plodding along with Fallen, just want to finish it now.

Lynn Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Lynn, have you read Tartt's first book 'Secret History?' I loved that one. I havent yet peacefield but it's in the post (i hope) i ordered a copy from Waterstones yesterday. Cant wait to read it, i've heard such good things about it
Mexicola Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Okay I'm gonna sign off so I can actually start reading! I have the same problem! I'm spending far too long reading about books on here as opposed to actually reading them I think I better be off too, am hoping to finish Jane Eyre tonight.
Nicola Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Begun Club Dead! Oh I hope you like this, it was my second favourite of the series It's also my second favourite of the series (my favourite being Dead to the World ) Hope you enjoy it Jessi!
Charm Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Have you read that one before or is this the first time? A good read IMO This is the first time for me, I think I remember you reading it last year? Not a huge read but I'm enjoying it It's also my second favourite of the series (my favourite being Dead to the World ) Well that goes without saying! I wonder why?
Univerze Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Read two hundred pages of Swallowing Darkness by Laurell Hamilton today, finished the book, and have to say I liked it. Not so repetitive and seriously, she just had sex once in this book. Good thing really, leaves more room for plot. Also started Robert Jordan's Eye of the World finally, just a few pages though.

I am re-reading Modesty Blaise fantastic book, the series have just been re-released and if you like strongunusual women its just the thing...
sirinrob Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Halfway through 'Independent People' by Halldor Laxness - interesting glimpse of rural Icelandic life.
dzposableheroes Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I finished up Fire Study, Maria V Snyder's final book in the trilogy. Loved all 3 books and was a bit disappointed I'm finished with them. I'm moving on to The Temple Dancer by John Speed.
Lucybird Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Am now about halfway through Gone With the Wind (which is 500 odd pages) and just started volume 2.
SFG75 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Just finished The New York library guide to book reading clubs by Rollene Saal. I'm half-way through Remembering Denny by Calvin Trillin. The latter is about a famous classmate of Trillin's at Yale who committed suicide. In it, Trillin retraces Denny Hansen's steps through his life to figure out why such a thing happened.
Shin Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Just finished Finger Lickin Fifteen by Janet Evanovich and My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult over the weekend. Going to make a go of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. I have had that book a while and think it's time I read it.
Kylie Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 These were delivered to work this morning: Not bad for a fiver! Wow, excellent haul, Raven! I love those Penguin editions and they were all so cheap! I'm jealous. I got the following books on the weekend: Isobelle Carmody: Farseekers Eoin Colfer: The Supernaturalist William Corlett: The Bridge in the Clouds Janet Evanovich: To the Nines Stieg Larsson: The Girl who Played with Fire Most were birthday presents I got very little reading done, however, and still have a good chunk of Macbeth to read.
tunn300 Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Managed to read 150 or so pages of Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and have now finished it. Took me a while to adjust to her writing style but did enjoy the book. That's 3 pretty easy reads on the trot now and may start something more thought provoking tomorrow.
BookJumper Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I have won Unseen Library editions of Terry Pratchett's Soul Music (my first and favourite Discworld novel) and Interesting Times (which I've never read) on eBay today !
AbielleRose Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I have won Unseen Library editions of Terry Pratchett's Soul Music (my first and favourite Discworld novel) and Interesting Times (which I've never read) on eBay today ! Good for you! Sounds like a great load you've gotten yourself there.
Nicola Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Well that goes without saying! I wonder why? No idea I finished LJ Smith's The Struggle and while the lead character is totally and utterly annoying, I need to know what happens in the rest of the series so will be in the que at HMV tomorrow purchasing the next book and saying goodbye to my hard earned money
Kylie Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 I have won Unseen Library editions of Terry Pratchett's Soul Music (my first and favourite Discworld novel) and Interesting Times (which I've never read) on eBay today ! Congrats Giulia! I won 3 books on ebay yesterday: two of them are dystopian and the third one I didn't really care about either way, but it worked out at $3 per book, which was much cheaper than ordering them from overseas (the books are out of print).
BookJumper Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Thank you Abby and Kylie I just wish they hadn't stopped the Unseen Library editions at Discworld #18, it would be so swell if I could one day have Terry's opera omnia prettily bound in leather...!
