Peacefield Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I started PopCo by Scarlette Thomas this morning before work .
frankie Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Bunce, I think you could go with either one, they're both brilliant I started reading Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs last night, good stuff as always!
Weave Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I finished The Ghost Writer today, and was thoroughly creeped out! I'll post a review on my reading log. Thanks go entirely to Weave for sending me this book! Big win I can't wait to hear what you think of the ending peacefield, I was very much I'm almost finished 'The Maze Runner' by James Dashner
pickle Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I read a bit more of Generation Dead this morning, its taking me ages to read it not because its not good, just one of those things maybe I don't find zombies as appealing as the other dead guys
Kylie Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I only have about 70 pages of left of The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. I've been reading a few pages of Letters from Father Christmas by JRR Tolkien each night before bed. It's wonderful. Thanks so much Poppyshake for recommending it! I'm also nearly two-thirds through First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde. I just had an moment while reading it. It's excellent.
Bunce Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Pride and Prejudice is my favourite Jane Austen novel, so I'd recommend you go with that one. Bunce, I think you could go with either one, they're both brilliant I started reading Possible Side Effects by Augusten Burroughs last night, good stuff as always! Thanks for the swift reply, you two. I'll opt for Pride and Prejudice, I think.
cosychair Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I'm engrossed by The passage by Justin Cronin, I love nice long books to cosy up with when it horrid outside.
Pixie Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I am almost half way through Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. My goodness, this book is excellent! I was a bit skeptical when I saw all the positive reviews on amazon, but it really is that good. At least, so far. I will do a review of this book. It is my first by the author, and it probably won't be my last. He has other books that look fascinating.
no-1-book-fan Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I'm reading The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis !
frankie Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 No mojo = no book activity here You need to get that mojo of yours on a serious behaviour treatment facility, it seems to be going AWOL all the time!!! I hope you two are soon reunited. I can't believe I haven't read a single page today, eventhough I thought I'd have the whole day for reading. Too much house work
mummymunt Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 Just finished Holy Terror, by Graham Masterton, possibly the first book of his that I've read that hasn't grossed and/or freaked me out, lol. Also just finished Beyond Exile, by J. L. Bourne. Just started Carnies, by Martin Livings, and am enjoying it so far.
Lucybird Posted December 17, 2010 Posted December 17, 2010 I started PopCo by Scarlette Thomas this morning before work . I hope you like this one, it's been one of my favourite reads this year, possibly even my favourite
pontalba Posted December 18, 2010 Posted December 18, 2010 Just finished The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag by Alan Bradley. Just as lovely as the first book. Can't wait for the 3rd one to come out! I've only read the first one, and loved it. I look forward to the next two. I'm trying to wait till the second comes out in paperback, to match the first one I have. /impatiently tapping fingers/ I'm engrossed by The passage by Justin Cronin, I love nice long books to cosy up with when it horrid outside. Really loved this one! I have bought The Summer Guest, the only other one that B&N had on the shelf. Arrived in the mail: Cleopatra's Daughter by Michelle Moran An Object of Beauty by Steve Martin
Kylie Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I have about 30 pages left of Plath's journals. I doubt I'll finish it today because I'm too tired. I plan on shelving some books later.
vinay87 Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I bought 2 books on Friday. One was The Mysterious Island — Jules Verne and the other was The Phantom of the Opera — Gaston Leroux. I started reading The Mysterious Island. The translation is wonderful and I'm considering buying the Modern Classic Library version of all his books. I'm starting to love everything Jules Verne has written.
vodkafan Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 No reading today as yet! I am half way through Dina's Book by Herbjorg Wassmo. Kinda weird....
frankie Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I have about 30 pages left of Plath's journals. I doubt I'll finish it today because I'm too tired. I plan on shelving some books later. 30 pages! You're a machine, Kylie! My latest book haul: The Eleven Thousand Rods by Apollinaire The Exploits of a Young Don Juan by Apollinaire Death at la Fenice by Donna Leon The Pact by Jodi Picoult Glue by Irvine Welsh Farmer Giles of Ham by J. R. R. Tolkien The Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally

pickle Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I have read nothing today at all, but I am a few pages into Justin Cronin's The Passage which I will continue later tonight
lauraloves Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I'm halfway through Out of the Shadows - Susan Lewis, and I'm still in two minds about it!
Kylie Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 30 pages! You're a machine, Kylie! I don't feel like a machine! After putting The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath down after reading 50-60 pages back in March, I just put in at least 6 solid weeks and finally finished it this morning. It feels like quite an achievement! Now I can concentrate on First Among Sequels and Letters from Father Christmas.
Charm Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 You need to get that mojo of yours on a serious behaviour treatment facility, it seems to be going AWOL all the time!!! I hope you two are soon reunited. Thanks I did manage to read a few pages last night but I don't think I'll reach my 2010 target Oh well, there's always next year
Kylie Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I received two books in the mail today: Karel Capek: RUR (Rossum's Universal Robots) Thomas More: Utopia I also read around 80 pages of First Among Sequels.
missybct Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I'm about two thirds the way through "The Shining" by Stephen King and really enjoying it - read about sixty pages today.
