What Are You Reading?

[SusanNorton]

I just finished "Career of Evil," by Robert Galbraith (wonderful, as usual), and am now reading "The Happiness Project," which is non-fiction, and really liking it so far (Chapter 1).

I liked it. It seemed a bit darker, more pessimistic than the first two, but I liked it. Have you read it?

Nope. I haven't read of them yet. I wil not admit how many books I have read this year. This has not been a good reading year for me.

Me either, DJ, but I'm getting selfish with my time lately. I'm really enjoying the "Happiness Project" book - that's my quest for the upcoming year, to find some happiness in every day.

Good morning.

I'm reading Room by Emma Donoghue. I got a little sick when

Spoiler

It's a five year old speaking and I realized he was born in Room and has never left it. His mother was kidnapped and imprisoned in Room.Her kidnapper/rapist impregnated her and the boy was born in the room. He has no clue there is an outside world.

I read this when it first came out. I thought it was pretty good. The movie was recently released but seems to have disappeared.

I hear you. I just can't seem to sit and read for long periods of time anymore. I think a lot of it has to do with my getting older and also the fact that I sit and read & write at the computer all day for a living.

Sad, sad premise, awesome book.

Reading some of these wonderful messages and wanting to find some of the titles, I am wondering if when we are talking about a book we like, could we name the author so as to cut down on search time?

I liked Career of Evil a lot, although the plot got bogged down in some twisty turns. Excellent development concerning the two primary characters.

I'm reading The Power of the Dog by Don Winslow (which is followed up with his latest, The Cartel). If you liked NARCOS on Netflix or the recent film SICARIO, this is a good book for you.

That's my problem, too. By the end of the day, I need a break not just from the computer screen but reading itself. I have times when I'm more in the mood for reading but sadly it's not as often as I used to years ago. Something else I'm hoping will change come

At least you all have a good reason! I have only read 19 books all year. Used to be a time I could check out 4 and 5 books at a time from the library and have them all finished in the 2 week time period before they were due back. I don't know what has happened to me!

I am way below that number.

I am way below that number.

I'm currently at about 57 for the year to date. I'll probably hit 60.

Kids?

Yep, my suspicion is that reason is spot on.

Been there.

THat's an honorable number.

 

[80sFan]

No idea how many books I read a year. The past year has been more stressful so even though I have more time to read, it takes me longer to read (have to concentrate much harder to block out real life).

 

[Spideyman]

Yep, my suspicion is that reason is spot on.

Grandchild and hubby's work schedule too.
