Did this about 2 months ago? What is everyone reading now.

I just picked up a book written by Jacquelyn Mitchard "A Theory of Relativity". She wrote Deep End of The Ocean. I read that book before I saw the movie and although the movie was really good it did not shine next to her writing. I'll keep you posted. If I post less this weekend it probably means the book is fantastic

[bridsanaeds]

Not reading anything at the moment. Any suggestions of good new scary books to read? I like stuff like Stephen King.

I´ve just finished Tom Clancys 'Executive Orders', and I´m still amazed and shocked about the content of this story - the similarities to that fateful 11 of September made me swallow hard sometimes.

Now I´m going for something lighter, a book from the 'BattleTech'-series, 'Illusions of Victory'.

[xyznicks]

I'm on the last chapter of The Silmarillian.

I'm actually re-reading The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub. They have finally put out a sequel 20 years later. I have to reacquaint myself with the characters before I read The Black House.

[Goodwin]

I have to read something to relax me. After a long day at work i like to unwind with a good book.
Right now I am reading two books.
The Basement by Bari Woods
Faerie Tale by Raymond Feist

Very good twisted books..

[unapelosina]

hey I read that book about 10 years ago. it is worth a reread before the sequel. I hope it is worth the wait.

Stacy check out Peter Straub or try Dean Koontz for something a little different. Dark Rivers of the heart, Intensity etc.

Wave my husband is currently reading Rainbow 6 - he's totally into it (its keeping him off the net for a few days LOL)

Thanks for the tips, Zel! I might go check these out this weekend.

I was going to post this just the other day actually. I absolutely love to read and am reading about three books at the moment. Well sorta. I'm trying to finish two, so I can start another. I'm usually into crime novels, psycho serial-killer stuff so right now I am reading From Potter's Field by Patricia Cornwell. I'm also reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume and I am telling you, this is a book you will not put down. I think any woman out there could relate to this book. I don't normally read this type of book but someone loaned it to me and suggested it. I hate romance novels.. so that's not what it is. I also started reading a book called House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski about a house that is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It's a symbolic story about impending darkness.. but the book is set up up really crazy.. with the text upside down, diagonal, sometimes only one word to a page.. and so I had to give it a break. Next up is The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure, a book on Spirituality. A friend sent it to me as a gift because he thought we connected so well, like in the book. I'll let you all know if it's good.

I'm reading Somebody's Daughter. the Halifax -Toronto Pimping Ring... I like it cause I went to school with some of the pimps it talks about (no they were not my friends) and it mentions streets and area's I'm familiar with

[Hammaduersnes]

I am re-reading The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel. She finally has a new book coming out, The Shelter of Stones, her first book in eleven years, and I wanted to be able to remember the story before the new book comes out next year!

Pam I adore Patrica Cornwall! I don't care as much for the precint series but Scarpetta & Marino are two of my favorite characters. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

If you like this genre check out Kathy Reich's Deja Dead. Its really good too

I think I lost sleep to read Summer Sisters - Judy Bloome is amazing as always.

[bUqLfXRI]

I know, Summer Sisters is so funny and real. I really related to Vix. I definitely reccommend it

Scarpetta and Marino are my favorite characters too.. I haven't exactly been reading them in order.. I just take what I can get.. I check them out at the library. The only books I've bought in a long time were the Harry Potter books, House of Leaves and a three-in-one series.. all put into one book that looked interesting.. I bought it in Australia.. so I don't know if it's an American Author. Right now, I can't even recall his name.

[Kilsimpaile]

I'm starting tomorrow on a book about the Royal Family Of Monaco, which I am a distant relative of through Grace Kelly. It's true...a member of the Kelly family was a first cousin of a member of the Kilduff family back in Ireland. It's a long-distance connection, but I am related to royalty. Nifty, huh?

I also checked out a book about the Kennedys in Hollywood (that family fascinates me. They had a tough time of it) and George Carlin's "Napalm and Silly Putty".

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

Well, since the 'Lord of the Rings' is coming out soon, I'm going to re-read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings.

[Abnorttrano]

Haven't had time for reading lately. Spending to much time at work. Need to find a good book to get into though.

[esdfsdflast]

The books I read at the moment have such fascinating *cough* titles as "International Human Resource Management", "International Organisations" and "The Expatriate Experience" . I need to read some fun stuff!! I might have to re-read my Bridget Jones books or borrow my brother's Harry Potter books. Otherwise I'm stuck with "War & Peace" which has been collecting dust on my book-shelf for years now...... How does one get started on that book???

[6Rexw51X]

Hey Kay here's some fun you could have with those heavy reads.

We have some nasty COP's & SOP's at work that get so dry so I usually break it down how I know best and it helps me remember more too.

1) How are these policies working to manage the workers heart (see managed heart)
2) How can the workers use these policies to work for them. LOL

Hey grew up in a socialist country, my BA is in Social Science it only comes naturally

Nah - do the Brigett Jones thing or read something historical and really smutty - now thats fun

[FBtquXT8]

The World's Religions by Huston Smith. Good reference book on the history/basics of Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Islam, Judaism, Christianity, and.... the native traditions of Australia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas. There done with the commerical. Anyways, not a comparative book, just gives the facts, which let's you explore in your own mind correllations, etc.

[Sandvikla]

Nothing at the current moment, but I've got Martin Amis "Money: A Suicide Note" next in line on my want list. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to pick this up during the week.
