Kate Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I'm reading a review book: The Great Destruction Book 1 by Melanie Ray, not very far into it yet
Kylie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I've read some of Rama Revealed today. Not as much as I would have liked, because housework got in the way, but at least it's something.
Kidsmum Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Just over 100 pages left of The Fourth Queen i loved this book & found hard to put down.
c_mob Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Not gonna read today,but i read the first 127 pages of 'Sandstorm' by James Rollins yesterday.
frankie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Sweeeeet! I was escorting BF to the train station and when I was on my way back I noticed that there was a flea market at the market place and I decided to have a look around. I found (!): Stephen King: The Stand - For the First Time the Complete And Uncut Edition. In English!! No more crappy Finnish translation with the poor 'baby doll nightgown' translations What an excellent find! Me well happy.
Rawr Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Yay, I have that version too, The Stand is a fantastic vision, especially the first 300 pages
c_mob Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Mine was Theodore Boone by John Grisham from Tesco on friday for
frankie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Yay, I have that version too, The Stand is a fantastic vision, especially the first 300 pages It's a real powerful read and it grips you right from the start. I love it how Mr King takes his time to paint the picture right, he's not one to rush things. My absolute favorite character is Tom Cullen, when he got the bell for the bike and rode it like there was no tomorrow, I laughed my ass off
Rawr Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 That also gives way to one of the most effective passages King has written too imo, the freaking tornado coming over scared the **** out of me haha! I also love the M-O-O-N stuff, King does come up with crazy antics.
frankie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Rawr, I've totally forgotten about the things you mentioned in your spoiler But that's only a good thing I think, not to remember every single thing about the book so the re-reading will be a fresher experiment
Rawr Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Oh noes, I will keep my mouth shut in case I respoil anything for you then! It is a fun read with an unsettling premise and works very well with his power of vision.
chesilbeach Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Have been out and about a lot this week, so haven't had much reading time, but managed another 20 pages of Martin Lukes: Who Moved My Blackberry?

bookworm44 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 200 pages into Gone with the Wind and absolutely loving it!
Nicola Booth Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I read Gone with the Wind about 5 years ago and absolutely loved it! I would also recommend the Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough! I have not read much in the last two weeks!
Pixie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I would also recommend the Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough! Loved that book!
vinay87 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I'm going to sit myself up into the night and read Oliver Twist. I want to finish a good 200 pages now.
Nienna Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Finished A Game of Thrones (review posted ) and moved on to The Tennant of Wildfell Hall. Not loving this one as much as the other Bronte sister's stuff, but I'm only 50 pages or so in, so I'll give it time. Feels a bit more rigid, I think.
pickle Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I finished The Seance today not what I expected I really enjoyed it.
Kidsmum Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I would also recommend the Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough! Another one on my TBR pile that i'll move closer to the top:) I've just finished The Fourth Queen i couldn't put it down had to finish it today. I've decided to read Birdsong Sebastian Faulks next.
nicx27 Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 Finished Different for Girls by Louise Wener, which I thought was a reasonably good read about growing up and then being in a band. Now reading Started Early, Took my Dog by Kate Atkinson.
Pixie Posted July 4, 2010 Posted July 4, 2010 I just finished The Book of Flying, and I am so sad it is over. I want more! *sigh* Next I will be reading Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges.
