What Are You Reading?

[kingricefan]

Finished Joyland a couple of days ago, and am now a couple hundred pages into Dr. Sleep. Liked the first, and am enjoying the second.
Also, I like to read a nonfiction book on the side as I read my fiction, so have been reading A Private Disgrace about the Lizzie Borden murders.

Girl where you been?????????????

Just haven't seen you on here much lately. It's always good to see a friendly face here, doncha know?

 

[danie]

I do know! It's good to see you too, my Dana Friend.

I've just started The Talisman and am excited since I've heard so many CRs speak so highly of it.

I pretty much "ip dip dipped" between desperation and the talisman a few weeks ago, desperation was "it". Talisman will probably be my next big book - I tend to go big, little/normal.

My Musicophilia project crashed, so I started From a Buick 8 again, this time in the original language. I swear, the Norwegian translation is worse than I thought originally. All I remember from reading the translated version, is how horribly bad the description of

Spoiler

the things that came out of the car were.

The story itself, I don't even remember. So I will count this as a first read.

I forget about that book until someone mentions it, I guess because it's been so long since I read it. But it is one of my favourites.

Ok, today I started The Eyes of the Dragon....I know nada about it. I'll be back with opinions later, no doubt

Oh that one was so good!

Lucky you being out of school all week! it's been crazy cold here but just a wisp of snow - the kids keep wearing their pajamas inside out, flushing ice cubes down the toilet and sleeping with a spoon under their pillows - and are so disappointed to wake up to school the next day. Maybe we'll get a big one Monday and be out Tuesday!

Can you guess what I'm still reading? Yes, that's right - DT 7, going on 4 months now. I keep taking breaks and reading short stories - right now I'm also working my way back through Nightmares & Dreamscapes.

Yep, thank you very much for the reference on that one.

It's a nice break, but now our last day is May 29 instead of May 16!
I'd rather get everything done and have a long summer...alas.
I have never heard of any of those methods to get the snow going! I especially laughed at picturing your kids flushing the ice cubes!

Been off reading, finished The All-Girl Filling Station Last Reunion by Fannie Flagg and Morning Glory by Sarah Jiu, both were excellent. The library is holding Dust by Patricia Cornwell and Someone Else's Love Story by Joshilyn Jackson, I will pick up today. Coming in the mail from B&N is The Line by J. D. Horn about witches in Savannah, Georgia and Only the Good Die Young about a ghost who investigates other peoples' untimely deaths by Chris Marie Green.

I've got a few I'm currently working on. The audio of Joyland, Essence of the Dhammapada and Writers Between the Covers.

The last two were wins at LibraryThing.

Hey what's "Writers Between The Covers" about? Sounds interesting.

 

[Christine62]

Finished listening to Four Past Midnight--(awesome!) I have several short story anthology I'm picking through--including one called Sudden Fiction. Startedlistening to selected stories from Skeleton Crew and a collection of stories by Alice Munro called Runaway--

It was gossipy stuff about authors--love affairs, scandals. It was fun.

Ok, today I started The Eyes of the Dragon....I know nada about it. I'll be back with opinions later, no doubt

I thought it was great - like an old fashioned fairy tale and good for adults as well as children.

Ruins of the Rising Sun - Adventures in Abandoned Japan
