cosychair Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm Reading The children's book by A.S Byatt on the bus into work, now nearing the second half of the book.
Kate Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm listening to Wuthering Heights again. On chapter 27 - nearly finished!
Cookie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Finished Stolen by Kelley Armstrong. I'm not sure if I'm going to like the next one as it doesn't star Elena but I will read it anyway and hope I do.
SueK Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 After a couple of days new bookless and having to re-read some old favourites i have been lent Fludd - Hilary Mantell Murder on the Leviathan - Boris Akunin will have to see if I like this Mantel having found others very odd. I hope you enjoy the Boris Akunin book Pickle. I've read quite a few of them (although not that particular one) and they are very good. The hero, Erast is quite a quirky fellow, rather reminds me of Poirot in a lot of ways. I'm getting into the Sixth Lamentation, I read a bit more yesterday and am quite enjoying it.
Melisa Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'm getting into the Sixth Lamentation, I read a bit more yesterday and am quite enjoying it. Currently reading The Railway Detective by Edward Marston and I'm enjoying it so far. It's quite interesting to read a mystery book set in the 1800's as I've never really read any before apart from The Bone Garden, which switches between the current day and the 1800's.. I had a copy of 'The Sixth Lamentation but for some reason never got round to reading it! Let me know how you get on with it!

I'm fascinated by books centred around the age of Steam.
Melisa Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Oh good - I've read good reviews about it and I'm enjoying it so I've reserved his next book at the library!
AbielleRose Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'll be shoving Heresy by S.J. Parris into my purse today, hopefully I'll find the time to start it!
pickle Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I have started Fludd by Hilary Mantell I am still not sure I like her work but I will continue to read and not be defeated.
anisia Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Finished "The Mummy at the Dining Room Table" by Jeffrey A. Kottler & Jon Carlson, really liked it. I'll start "True Tales of American Life" by Paul Auster, very soon.
Cookie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I'll be shoving ... When I started reading this I wondered what you were going to say...
Stephanie2008 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I haven't read much the past few days but read around 150 pages of Cell
Univerze Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Today I bought pristine hardcover versions of book 8 and 9 in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Secondhand versions, from our secondhand book store (yes, pretty much the only one), one for 10 euros, other for 12,50. Yay. Only reading the third book now still, but now the paperback versions cost me about 10 euros, rather have hardbacks.
Nollaig Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 After about half an hour ho-humming over several other books, I finally decided on ordering these from Amazon: The Lone Ranger & Tonto Fistfight In Heaven - Sherman Alexie Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes Dracula: His Life & Times - Radu Florescu ^ Those three weren't in question. The next two were: The Art Of Racing In The Rain - Garth Stein Quantum - Manjit Kumar So yay! Books coming in the post, always makes me happy. The ones I decided against (just for now) were: The Once & Future King - T. H. White Dorian: An Imitation - Will Self The Maze Runner Trilogy - James Dashner Dracula: The Dragon Prince - Michael Augustyn.
Ooshie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Ordered these from Amazon: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury About Face by Donna Leon (the latest in the Inspector Guido Brunetti series) The Gate House by Nelson DeMille and have read another 70 pages of Wuthering Heights
Janet Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 I'll be shoving Heresy by S.J. Parris into my purse today, hopefully I'll find the time to start it! When I started reading this I wondered what you were going to say... I was thinking what a big purse Abi must have - until I realised she must mean handbag!
Lucybird Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Dead and Gone arrived in the post today. Yay! Have just over 20 pages of Wuthering Heights left so should finish today.
AbielleRose Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 When I started reading this I wondered what you were going to say... Perhaps 'purse' is the wrong word as I actually use a messenger bag complete with all your typical purse nesessities, sketch book, notebook and usually a bottle of water or a Diet Coke. Just to clarify. I haven't actually opened Heresy yet today. The brain just isn't in it.
frankie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I just finished Human Harbour by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I was a little disappointed with the ending but all in all a great read. I think I'm going to start reading Helter Skelter next, but we'll see.
Kylie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes Awesome! I think I'm going to start reading Helter Skelter next, but we'll see. I'm waiting with bated breath
whitegold Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Today my mom bought me Push by Sapphire. I can't wait to read it!
lexiepiper Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I finished Morris Gleitzman - Once, great book Now moving on too Patricia Cornwell - Scarpetta?
frankie Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 I'm waiting with bated breath 33 pages read so far, it's mighty creepy! I was reading it in bed last night and I have to say I was really jumpy about all the normal noises in my apartment. Today my mom bought me Push by Sapphire. I can't wait to read it! Oooh, that's a good one! I hope you enjoy it
