I went shopping yesterday, so I picked up a Karen Slaughter (Fallen) to tide me over.

I'm reading Charlatan - the nonfiction story of a very successful flim-flam doctor who specialized in goat glands. Set in the early 1900's. I can hardly believe it's nonfiction.

 

[FrankZ]

I have moved on to rereading A Storm of Swords.

 

[Greg Who Cooks]

I have moved on to reading A Feast for Crows (#4). I'm somewhat bummed out knowing that I'll hit a hard wall after finishing #5 because the final two volumes are not intended to be out before another few or several years.

I guess I'll wait a few years and then rent the TV series on DVD and see how it translates to television, while I'm waiting for #6 to get published.

i'm sorry, but i feel i must speak out against this author of fifty shades of grey that has somehow managed to go viral in the soft-porn book world in this country. e. l. james, the author of fifty shades of grey, makes stephenie meyer look like a pulizer prize author. if your interest is in erotic literature, there are authors who are true artists of this genre of books. take a look at anais nin, for example. but if anyone has a theory or explanation for the wild popularity of james's abysmally poorly written shades of grey, i'd be most eager to hear it....

theory: could it be the same as for piercings, tatts, 32 oz. drinks, etc., meaning we're dealing with human beans and their usual discriminating tastes, here.

I've just started book #3 of a military sci-fi series called "The Lost Fleet". Mindless stuff, really, but kind of fun. It's full of space heroes, villains, distant worlds, and epic shoot-em-up battles. I'm hoping it will carry me into vacation in another week.

I'm reading a boof "Out of the blue" by Scott Thoma. It's about a devastating tornado that ripped through a small minnesota town where I grew up.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

I'm just about finished with the book I am on and have not decided what I want to read next. I have a huge choice, about 40 books to decide from.

 

[JoAnn L.]

Reading "The Haunting Of Torre Abby". It is a novel of Sherlock Holmes by CAROLE BUGG'E.

Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, by Seth Grahame-Smith. Should be some fun.

Reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It's free for the kindle app so I figured why not? Considering when it was written, it's pretty darn clever.

I read that about once a year, love the stories.
