I always have a few going but, the latest is London At War 1939 -1945 by Philip Ziegler. It provides a very real glimpse of life in that city during the war.
Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

Well I love to read inspirational books. Im reading the Above The Line Series by Karen Kingsbury. Just love her books of faith and real life issues.

Title: Fury, by Salmon Rushdie. Wish I "got" all his references. I feel stuff flying over my head; still liking it.
Also, Silence of the Grave, a novel by Arnaldur Indridason - detective work in Iceland. Interesting.

I'm reading Hangman by Faye Kellerman. It's good, but going fast.
I'm glad it is a fast read because I got the last 3 books I ordered, one by Anne McCaffrey, another by Alan Dean Foster and the last a one book trilogy by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

Wow you sound like me. Im on the third book of the series im reading but I have to go get the last one. But I got 4 books from my club as well.
What series are you reading? Yeah, I'm in book heaven. I got a total of 6 books I ordered from Abe Books. If my current book weren't so good, I'd put it down and wallow in my old favorites.

Have u heard of Karen Kingsbury? It above the line is the name of the series. Not top happy that I don't have the last book of the series lol but I have a total of 5 books other than the one im on. Reading relaxes me. I would rather ready than watch TV.
I just started reading Game of Thrones.

Are you watching it on HBO too? I am both reading and watching. The book helps me understand the show and the show helps me understand the book.
I keep forgetting and buying DTB's...one of these days, I'll get them all read. Meanwhile, the Kindle goes everywhere with me.
GB: Yes, we are watching. I think the show is amazing... very well done. The book is filling in some of the detail nicely. This one seems as close to the book (as far as I have read) as any adaptation I have seen.
PF: I got it on the Kindle. Who buys DTBs anymore?
I found it funny that Amazon has the books for $8.99 each or you could buy the set of 4 for $35.99. I understand with DTB you get a nice box and it all looks like a set, but on the Kindle? Bah. Want to charge me an extra $.03 to grab em all at once? Bah.

I still buy regular books. Can't afford the kindle.
I love my DTB. They fill up my bookcases better than a kindle and don't need batteries.

Dingbats like me who can't stay out of the bookstore.

No batteries on the Kindle, it comes with a rechargeable...I've had it for 6 months, plugged it in three times, so far. It goes with me everywhere, I use it at work (5 nursing books) as much as I read it at home. I am currently hauling a library of 27 books with me everywhere I go.
My work bag is much lighter these days.

Well im ok with the books I get. Maybe I should ask my husband for one lol
I resisted buying one for a long time. It wouldn't be worth it for me if I couldn't include my nursing and drug books. And I still have stacks of books all over that need to be read.

I just finished David Baldacci's Absolute Power and started The Deeds of the Disturber an Amelia Peabody mystery by Elizabeth Peters. I've been considering a Kindle. I'm waiting for it to come down some in price to the $100 range. When they came out with the $114 I was about to jump on it until I realized it had ads on it. Figure I get hit with enough of those on TV, newspapers, junk mail and magazines. Don't want it with my books!
