Just finished Water for Elephants. Loved it! I just started Pain Chronicles, thinking I can gain some good insight with it and for fun I'm reading A Reliable Wife.

I found reading on my lunch breaks is a great way for me to relax....escape. :)

Just finished Still Life With Crows. Fantastic! Preston & Childs. Starting The Ice Limit now.

I'm reading that book "FibrWHYalgia" and also a Joyce Myers book, "The Battle Belongs to the Lord"..........and have 3 books ordered from Rest Ministries, can't wait!!

hugs, karen

Best Topic EVER!!! LOL

I'm reading One for the Money by Janet Evanovich....my stepmom said I HAD to read them.

I've been reading a TON lately....my favorite series is The Southern Vampire Series (Sookie Stackhouse Novels) by Charlaine Harris. I've read all 10 twice...LOL. I also like her Harper Connelly Series.

I just finished the House of Night series the other day....pretty good. But I like Vampire Academy more.

What are the Alex Cross books like? They seem interesting...I might have read them next.

I found this one at a yard sale, "The Book of Internal Exercises" by Stephen T. Chang

I just finished Portia De Rossi's "Unbearable Lightness." WOW

I LOVE reading! I enjoy ethnic lit a ton, but sometimes need to switch it up. I am actually, odd maybe to say, reading the True Blood books. I am on book 3.

ADDICTED to the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich... Whoever said they're reading One For The Money, get ready to get sucked in! I'm currently reading Bluebeard by Kurt Vonnegut, but I'm struggling to get into it. I've been known to read a book in an afternoon, so I'm kinda frustrated that I can't get into it...

my favorite authors is Jodie Picoult who writes novels about 'issues' encouraging you to experience the issue from severals persons perspective but beware the twist at the end! anyone who saw the Cameron Diaz movie My Sisters Keeper .. I can tell you that was not even close to the real ending!

and while I wait for her next book due in March I'm catching up on Juliet Marilliers beautifully written fantasy fiction

Lately I'm not into novels....reading my cookbook finds. I have a really large collection...especially love all the ethnic types. Buy them at garage sales, estate sales, consignment shops, etc. Love reading recipes...but cook the same things LOL Also love magazines...all types. When I get bored with my collection...I do love reading the Classics...one of my favorites is F. Scott Fitzgerald's...Zelda! Here is a short read..."In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote...what a book! Love his books.

Right now I am reading "Gettysburg" by Stephen Sears (nonfiction); "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith (awesome); and a book about molecular biology so I can understand half what my FIL says about his work.

I am a huge bookworm. I'll read darn near anything. But I too have had issues getting into Vonnegut.

Great topic!

oooh, I love to hear what everyone's reading!

Karynn, I like Jodi Picoult too. I remember 'discovering' her with her very first book! Have you read Chris Bohjalian? I got into his books at the same time.

I haven't really been readind fiction much at all in a long long time. But I never run out of fascinating reading material! I belong to three libraries and I'm a sucker for Amazon's free shipping if you spend $25! lol

LeoX3, I was considering taking molecular bio for my science elective eventually... :-)

I was kind of shocked to see you all saying what you can read,I have a hard time reading a psalm a day,I cannot focus log enough to read much,even some of the post on here,if there long I can't read them,if I do I just forget it and have to keep going back to it,if I want to reply to it. I'm doing good to get one chapter of the book of psalms read in my bible.
I wish I could focus,sure would help me kill some time.plus I use to Love to read about people and their life,true stories. I really miss it :(

I'm sorry Lucky64. Actually, I had about a year or two of the same: not being ABLE to really read. I just couldn't keep at it. But it wasn't permanent. There are times when I can't , times when I have to read the same paragraph over and over and then Ijust have to put the book aside. There are times I can't even focus on a magazine article!

I hope you get some of that focus back so you can go back to enjoying reading.

Oh, I should mention a book I read recently that had me so hooked I was staying up to read it! _The Murder Room_ a non fiction about some top sleuths that meet in Philadelphia and solve cold cases. Gripping!!
