I am currently reading the James Patterson novels. I am going through the Alex Cross novels. My dtr got me hooked on them. They are very hard to put down. |
I'm reading "Generation Kill" by Evan Wright. He is a Rolling Stone reporter who was imbedded with the Ist Recon Marine Division during the early stages of the Iraq War. Heavy stuff but really really interesting. It's all first hand accounts of the battles and what the Marines went through personally. Gives me a whole new respect and admiration for the Marines. I hear HBO has just started to air a mini series based on the book but I don't have HBO. :( |

I am addicted to the printed word,so I'm loving this thread. If you want to laugh out loud, I have to recommend Jen Lancaster! She is hilarious! She writes about her life after the fall of the dot com era. So far she has written three memoirs. They are: "Bitter is the new black" "Bright lights big a$$" and "Such a pretty fat" She is the best author I have came across in a long time. If you want to get an idea of her and her work,check out her blog site at Jennsylvania.com Whenever I'm having a bad day I log on to her site or reread one of her books. I'm soon feeling better and laughing myself into an asthma attack :D I am currently reading: "Shoe Addicts Anonymous" by Beth Harbison and "How I write;Secrets of a bestselling author" by Janet Evanovich (because someday, I myself hope to be a bestselling author :p ) |

Oh, ya'll are making me feel pitiful. ;) So many of you are reading something "good for you". I like plain ol' fiction! haha Right now I'm reading James Patterson's "Step on a Crack". It's the first one he's written (I think) involving a new character named Michael Bennett - a NY cop with a wife dying of cancer and 10 adopted children to take care of on top of his cop duties. The wife and children are just kind of in the background of everything but they make him a very interesting character. It's been very interesting so far! |

My all time favorite authors are Stephen King and Dean Koontz. Although Stephen King has kinda lost his appeal with me over the past few years - I still read them as soon as they come out. Dean Koontz (to me) is very similar to SK, just not as "strange". |

Whoever recommended "Water for Elephants" did me a favor. I loved it! I have just finished ready Jonathan Kellerman's book titled "Obsession" It is an Alex Delaware book if you know about Kellerman. Alex is a child psychologist that does consulting for the police department and partners with a wonderful character Milo. Milo is a gay police lieutenant and is about as far away from stereotypical as you can get. I never read one book at a time so I've been re-reading the Vampire Chronicles. I can't get enough of those blood suckers! |

I Just finished reading "the time traveler's wife" a national best seller.. its a love story but definitely not a traditional one! |
i have just finished i have just finished reading Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult - i've read most of her stuff but this is exceptional...As a midwife, Lacy Houghton brings lives into the world. she didn't expect her son to take them away. But that's what he did one March morning, when he walked into his high school with guns instead of books and killed ten people. Along with the rest of the shocked and grief-stricken town, Lacy is left wondering when her shy 17-year-old boy turned into a monster. And was it her fault? In the aftermath of the shooting, Lacy searches the past for clues and begins to realise that despite, or perhaps because of, her every effort, she never really knew her son at all...even though the subject matter is quite dark, it is a brill read and has a great twist at the end. |
I LOVE to read! I always ask for 1/2 price bookstore gift certificates for Christmas! I love to read Mysteries! My favorite author is Mary Higgins Clark, I've read everything she's written. I also Love James Patterson, Mary Jane Clark, Patricia Cornwell, I could go on! My passion on vacation is to find local Mystery authors and buy their books! |

Our B&N is having a party. I also like JA Jance, the JP Beaumont detective stories which are centered around the Seattle area. I haven't read one in years so I don't know if I've missed any. She also writes a series around Joanna Brady who I think is a Sheriff in a small Arizona town or something like that. I didn't like these as much and JP. :) |
