Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

[Andy M.]

I just started, "The Red Sox Years" by Terry Francona and Dan Shaughnessy. Francona is a former Red Sox manager.

I also have the complete Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Both Nook books.

All set for vacation.

It is worth the read once you get into it. I am on the 2nd book right now Fifty shades darker. I am almost done & ready for the 3rd book

Yep, I persevered and read the whole book. Wow! Certainly addictive and I've just begun Fifty Shades Darker. Wonder if there'll be more than three in the series. Or if the third one ties things up like a nice package.

I am reading a cookbook, with lots of great stories in it. It's called Southern Living "Off The Eaten Path" by Morgan Murphy. Fannie Flagg worte the Foreward, she says she wishes she could go back in time to the little out of the way Cafe's that she went to with her mom and dad. Don't we all.

I just snagged the next 2 books in the Grimm Curse series for under $5 for my kindle. The original was free on pixel of ink (I think or maybe book bub) so I checked it out to make sure it was the same one I read and saw the other two. Can't wait to dig into them! I'm enjoying the Bonhoeffer book but it is heavy reading so I only get a few pages done each day. He's a remarkable man and was a classic overachiever and super intelligent. Makes me tired reading about everything he was doing during college!

Read, read....it is the best story ever and the book will not ruin your enjoyment of the movies, if nothing else you will get some of the back story and enjoy the movies more.

You are tempting me Fi

You are tempting me Fi

It's one of those books I think everyone should read...it makes me wish I was reading it again for the first time.

 

[Kylie1969]

Okay Fi, you have convinced me, it is already on my kindle and I will read it when I finish the book I am on now

Make sure you show everyone your broken arm from when I convinced you...

I am very fond of classics I am rereading 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'

One of my H.S. must reads. Never sorry I did. From that I went to the school library and must have read every book they had. I started to really enjoy reading in the fourth grade. Faded off somewhat, and H.S. brought me back to the book shelf.

I'm still making my way through the Pendergast novels. I just started book four, "Still Life with Crows". "Cabinet of Curiosities" was excellent, although I have to admit I found the ending just a little unsatisfying.

When I was in Jr. High School, my free period was the first period. Since I had already done my homework, I was bored to death. A teacher offered me the opportunity to work in the library instead. She turned me on to books, and I'm an avid reader still.

It was also a wonderful preparation for office work, filing, checking books in and out, and even book repairs. It taught me at a young age to be organized.

I've been on a David Baldacci binge, with some Jeffrey Deaver and Greg Iles in the mix. Right now, I'm reading Devil's Teardrop by Jeffrey Deaver, with 4 more David Baldacci books behind it. Heaven!

I've no excuse, but I've not read it. Yet. Thank you for the poke.

If I may stray off France for a minute -- did you hear that they have found the remains of Richard III in England? They partially identified it by the curvature of the spine (we term it scoliosis), giving him the 'hunchback.' They also used DNA of a living descendant of the family to confirm the identification.

They just leave you wanting more. "Still Life" was a wrist breaker for me, I couldn't read it fast enough.

I worked in the Library too, in High School and the Front Office. I just finished Robert Crais' "Suspect"...have a box of tissues handy. I think it's his best, yet. Just started another Baldacci, "Zero Day."

Found Richard III, cool!! Don't forget "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers" all worth the read.

So many books, so little time...

What I find amazing is the uncanny family resemblance of the descendant. Even though they are separated by 500 years, you can see the same gaunt frame and similar facial features.

I have just started reading The Hobbit

 

[PrincessFiona60]

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."

Don't forget "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers" all worth the read.

So many books, so little time...

Both are very favorite to me. I read original English translation of both. I wish someday I will learn French and will able to read the originals.

"So many books, so little time" - very true.
