What Are You Reading?

[The Nameless]

Going to start reading The Liar by Stephen Fry. Have never read anything by this author so far, but heard a lot of good things about the novel. I'll give it a try now. I hope it won't be a difficult book, I need some easy reading right now

I didn't know Stephen Fry did "proper" novels. I love Fry on QI, he's so funny and insanely clever. He's something of a national treasure in the UK.

Forget the infinity pool. I want me one of those, damn!

You're welcome

I'm reading "American Gods," by Neil Gaiman - finally.

I'm back on the kick of reading Women Fiction. I was recently told by one of my sisters that I don't understand women . . .that I look down on them and that I come across a bit too hard on women, especially her.

I do. I don't really look down on them though . . .

I understand women I just don't act like them.

Anyway I'm enjoying the Women's Fiction stories.

Ha!

I've always had difficulty getting along with other women. For the most part, the ones I've known have been way too catty and gossipy for my liking...

Yeah . . .and sneaky. Some seem afraid that someone else will get more attention than them. I have five sisters and most often they'll make snide comments. I've seen this in most women I've met. I'll use boomerang replies that really touches a nerve. Ha!

I've always wondered how much more power women could have in this world if they actually banded together instead of working against each other...

morgan and MadamMack - we are kindred spirits. I can count on one hand how many close women friends I have. I do have more on the SKMB though!

 

[do1you9love?]

I just reread A Good Marriage then started on 1922. Such a powerful quartet of stories!

Add me to the Kindred Spirits club. Real people just generally get on my nerves, especially prissy, catty women...lately, those that tell long-azz stories on my lunch break that are soooooo boring...it's heartbreaking, really. I don't know why anyone would want to tell a story and include EVERY detail. I just want to scream, "Start by telling me the ending, then I'll let you know if I want to hear the rest!!!!!"
Anyway, I'm reading Dragonfly in Amber, the second in the Outlander series.

I just finished 11/22/63. I thought it was a great book. I'm trying to decide if I want to read Insomnia or The Regulators. I have about 3 weeks until I order Wind Through the Keyhole and Everything's Eventual, want to squeeze a book in before then.

When I'm stuck in the tell-all-story-of-how-little-Timmy-made-me-laugh-until-I-peed-myself . . .I find myself doing what I call the Roland Roll . . .remember in the DT how he'd roll his arm to indicated he wanted the speaker (usually, Eddie) to get to the point? Well, I do that and nod my head too.

I'm so rude!

Ha!

I love that thing that Roland does... I've been missing him, maybe I need to take another wander through Mid-world?

I'm reading "American Gods," by Neil Gaiman - finally.

I have not read many of Neil Gaiman's books, but i really enjoyed American Gods.

I will start Joyland at some point over the weekend. My sunday is looking a bit busier than usual so dont really want to start anything to thick like Duma Key, Bag of bones, or The Dome ( I like to start big door stoppers like them over a three day weekend, when i have more free time) Joyland should fit the bill nicely.

Insomnia it is! I've actually read like 2/3 of the book 9-10 years ago. So far, reading it seems totally fresh- I can't remember what happens next or what happens later.
I've never listened to an audiobook before, but I'm going to try an experiment... I have the Insomnia (read by Eli Wallach?) audiobook on computer. I'm going to take breaks from reading every couple chapters and try picking up my place with the audiobook.

I'm still in Agatha Christie mood. It is quite normal with me. I got tired and weary of most other thing and then i read 5-6 Christie and i can start to read new and more complicated stuff again (like King). At the moment i'm reading A Murder is Announced. Before that it was After the Funeral. I know them back and front since i read them so many times but it is the coziness that she always brings to the reading session that i enjoy. I dont get surprised anymore but i can appreciate a job well done anyway.

I read most of her novels when I was younger. I should pick them up again now since they would be kind of "new" to me at this point. And I agree, there is a sense of coziness in her writing. Thanks for posting!
