whitegold Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I finished The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks last night! It was cute and sad, exactly like all of his other books haha but I still enjoyed it
Jim Mappelle Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 70 pages into '1984'. Blimey; I think I work for 'The Party';) Can certainly picture my boss being top man at Big Brother! Jim
Coffin Nail Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Finished Meltdown-Ben Elton last night and started the next one off the library pile I brought home, Killing the Shadows-Val Mcdermid. Killing the Shadows sounds like fun....sadly, no mention of Cliff.
pickle Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Finished my Modesty Blaise book, The Silver Mistress I loved it but i think it might be the last one and i have read them all now
ned Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Halfway through Bombproof - Michael Robotham, first time i've tried this author but i think i may look for more of his stuff
frankie Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Got these today in the mail: Markus Zusak: I Am the Messenger Markus Zusak: Getting the Girl Also bought these from the library sale, 20 cents each. A bargain! Haruki Murakami: A Wild Sheep Chase Doris Lessing: The Good Terrorist Ernest Hemingway: The Garden of Eden Tommy Tabermann: Naaras I can't get into In Cold Blood at the moment, I think I will leave it for later and start something completely different. It's not that the book is bad or anything, it just doesn't fit my mood
Kate Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I've only got a few more chapters of Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Hopefully it will be finished tonight.
Lexie Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Today I really thank the gods for the football! I can finally catch up on my reading!!!!
rach.at.the.disco Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Read about 100 pages of The Girl Next Door - Elizabeth Noble today, will probably read some more later. And I came home to find Alice's Adventures In Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll waiting for me .
Kate Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I finished Three Men in a Boat this evening and loved it. It had me chuckling all the way through
poppyshake Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 A few chapters into 'A Long, Long Time Ago and Essentially True' by Brigid Pasulka and really enjoying it. It is peppered with Polish words rather like 'The Book Thief' is peppered with German words and for the most part you can tell what they are from the text (or in some cases like 'The Book Thief' the Polish word or expression is followed by the English translation).
vodkafan Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 I read some of the Night Watch today! That's under my bed in my TBR pile. I didn't do any reading today but I had some more books from Amazon I am looking forward to: If Chins Could Kill (autobiography) and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. This looks hilarious.
Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 31, 2010 Posted March 31, 2010 Read around 100 pages of under the eagle today, only got about 130 left would have finished it if I hadnt fallen asleep 5 hours ago:motz:. Why do I get so excited when i'm nearing the end of a book if I like the story?

Why do I get so excited when i'm nearing the end of a book if I like the story? Dunno but I suspect we are all the same. And when you finish it and close the book you think back to the story and you are in the warm after glow....maybe books are like sex really?
Johnny Carson Whit Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 maybe books are like sex really? Been a long time, I dont remember
Weave Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 My reading mojo is somewhat lacking, so I am reading 'The Vampire Diaries ~ The Awakening', its a nice easy read and very different from the show
Peacefield Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Excellent, Weave! I was wondering if you had read these yet . I agree about how different the books are (and pssttt I like the show better ).
Kylie Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 I finished The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde. The books seem to get better and better as I get further into the series.
Weave Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Excellent, Weave! I was wondering if you had read these yet . I agree about how different the books are (and pssttt I like the show better ). What I have read so far has been okay but I like the show better too
AbielleRose Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Listened to a bit more Two for the Dough by Janet Evanovich at work today and I'm planning to read Heresy for about a half hour tonight before sleep.
Peacefield Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 What I have read so far has been okay but I like the show better too See? We're on the same page . I've only read the first two books so far so I'm curious to see how the others are. I wonder if anyone has ever considered turning the Armstrong books into TV? Now that would be fun!

lexiepiper Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 After a serious reading drought, picking up the Sookie books was a wise way to go, and I'm now half way through Living Dead In Dallas, I really love this series And Dead And Gone came in the post today, so it's nice to refresh my memory before reading that and the new one that's released soon! I also got Vikas Swarup - Slumdog Millionaire/Q&A and Rachel Vincent - Stray (this sounded a bit like the Women Of The Otherworld series, so thought I'd give it a shot), along with Kishwar Desai - Witness The Night, which is a review book, looks really good though
