Gog Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Now reading the 5th Dexter book, "Dexter is Delicious". It actually has the feel of this season's show, as Dexter is a new father & he's starting to get....gulp! feelings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishdancer2 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I just finished Rick Riordan's The Lost Hero, the first book in his follow-up series to the Percy Jackson series. It was fantastic! I sat on my book and read all day because I couldn't put it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishdancer2 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well, I gave new meaning to the word 'butthead' Butt. I sat on my BUTT and read all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Virul Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Gods behaving badly. Some rough spots but for the deput book of the writer very good. Definately keeping tabs if she writes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copper Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 A third of the way through A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin. Lovely, long and heart-rending. Everything I need in my epic fantasies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gog Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Just finished the first Percy Jackson book. I get the feeling that if I read this book before I saw the movie, I wouldn't have liked the movie as much. As is, I like them both a lot. Now reading 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Guest huntforcare Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I’m going to join you but with the caveat that I might reread some that I read as a kid and didn’t like. If you say Catcher in the Rye isn’t the monster I think it is, I believe you. But I’m gonna have to see for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm trying to get through the "Passage" I have been on and off this book for months. It gets good for 3 pages then goes dull for 20 pages and then gets good again. I quit on the Passage and went on the second book of the "Strain" trilogy called the Fallen and finished it in two days.

Cashmere Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I've heard lots of good things about Duma Key, Binks. I just can't get over my hatred of Stephen King long enough to give it a shot though. How do you like it so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Binks Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It's really good so far. Definitely one of those books you can't put down. I'm liking the characters and story so far up to this point. Would definitely recommend it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceheart Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 Why is it that whenever I read a Narnia book, I read it in an English accent? I don't do that with any other British series/author. I'm re-reading Dawn Treader. Guess why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep Murderer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Any reading is on the shelf until exams are over. After that? I'm hoping to finish Under the Dome, which I barely was able to start due to a particular month-long soul-eating event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gog Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm now half way through 2010, which only just struck me that I'm reading 2010 in 2010. The movie adaptation is very faithful to the book. So much in fact that I couldn't tell you any differences. 2001 on the other hand has lots of differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishdancer2 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I just finished Torment by Lauren Kate a few minutes ago, and I was shocked by how much I liked it. The main character has improved so much since the first book I can't even describe it. I'm thrilled beyond belief with Lauren Kate right now for making the lead character in a book for tween girls interesting, somewhat intelligent, and willing to stand up for herself when her boyfriend is being a douche.

Iceheart Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm reading Rebecca Stott's Ghostwalk, and from the way the dustjacket sold the book, I didn't expect it to be as beautifully written as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I started reading Wicked last night and it was pretty slow. Does it get better than this or does it just meander aimlessly the rest of the book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cashmere Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I enjoyed it, but it's not a fast paced book. I definitely liked the musical better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceheart Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 I started reading Wicked last night and it was pretty slow. Does it get better than this or does it just meander aimlessly the rest of the book? I never thought it was slow, so... YMMV. I'm reading Toby Alone by Timothee de Fombelle right now. It's... cute and dark at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElfinYoda Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I looked at Wicked in the books store, read a bit from the middle, put it back on the shelf. It did not grab me. I forget the name of the book am reading now, it is in the car, I'll have to look at it tomorrow. I did just finish Divas Inc., it was cute. I also finished the latest Anita Blake book, of which I forget the title. Am going to have to check the book list on my library account. I need suggestions, am finding myself getting stale lately with reading. *slinks off to reserve a spot on the 2011 book reading list keeper thingy* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REVROSWELL Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 'A World Without Time':...The Forgotten Legacy of Gödel And Einstein". It's my 2nd read of an fairly difficult profound read that requires a rethinking of what reality is.The book also accurately describes the personality of Godel, which is a biographical rarity. Despite the little books academic sounding title it's nevertheless a fine but difficult read probably because the author is Palle Yourgrau who is a professor of philosophy at Brandeis University. He has a strange, peculiar way of expressing ideas etc. add to that, I have always found some 'foreign'* authors to write in an unorthodox manner. * Books written about the genius Godel by modern authors (not Palle) are tainted by their atheism, a good example is Rebbecca Goldstein (the proof and paradox of kurt Godel, who gives exactly one page to Godels ontological argument that he created. His child like inner being was steeped in metaphysical wonder and that is rarely if ever touched on by modern authors. Yes Godel is a hero of mine. ~rr~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RelentlessMalice Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I am currently reading "Horns" by Joe Hill. Hill is the son of Stephen King and after reading his first book "Heart Shaped Box" I ran out and bought Horns and it is not disappointing one bit. Just the first 50 pages have you feeling sorry for Iggy and laughing at the same time. It is about a man named Iggy who wakes up one morning after getting drunk the previous night with horns on his head. Soon he learns that people say things to him and about him that they normally wouldn't say because of the horns. They express their true feelings for him. It is crazy so far. Plus Iggy is a person of interest in the murder of his girlfriend and everything thinks he did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElfinYoda Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm reading Summer Sisters by Judy Blume. It was on the desk at work, someone brought it in to share, it sat there for awhile and I needed something to read. It is ok, fast read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
