What are you reading?

[Ariel]

Ha! I laugh at your pain! Especially since YOU gave me a bunch of discworld books! In other words, it's all your fault!!!

I re-read Death Hallows, then started re-reading the whole series and just finished Prisoner of Azkaban.

Hey, Brave-Little-Toaster, will e-mail you about fanfiction. I was intrigued by that article, too.

Take care, all!

I'm currently reading The Girl Who Played With Fire, Batman; Year One, and Watchmen.
I just finished this book called Room, SOOO FREAKING CREEPY.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I'm almost done with Saffron Dreams by Shaila Abdullah, which is... beyond description. I feel like everyone ever should read it.
I'm also reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, which is just fun.

[ambercissism]

A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin. I like reading Tyrion...

[JustSkipIt]

The Lost Hero and Younger next Year for women.

[JustSkipIt]

Ok. I'm no longer reading Younger next Year. What a pile of crap. What nonsense. I couldn't decide whether I just disagreed or was actually offended. I decided on a combination and put it in the "return to library" stack.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Tears of the Goddess, for the 4th or 5th time. Not only are the Willow/Tara parts adorable, it also has Detective Lockeley from Angel!

Afterimage by Helen Humphreys.

Beautiful. I wish I could write like that.

[Ariel]

Emily's Angel - okay *blush* romance about a woman who falls in love with her guardian angel.

Hey, if I can't tell you guys, who can I tell?

I just finished The Lost Hero. Next is The Red Pyramid. Both are by Rick Riordan.

[Foomatic]

Picked up "The Hunger Games' for my trip to Minneapolis. Loving it!

[little.hesperides]

Just finished reading "The Great Gatsby" for the first time since high school. I forgot how adept Fitzgerald was at using unusual yet vivid descriptions.

I tried to get "The Hunger Games" from the library, but....there are over 100 people on the call-list for it ahead of me. This could take a while.

In the meantime, reading "What the Night Knows" by Dean Koontz. I can't read it within 1 hour of going to bed...I would have nightmares for sure.

[BeMyDeputy]

Started, and finished, Landing by Emma Donoghue today. Yesterday? ... Since I woke up.

[Kessari]

"Kill For Me" by Karen Rose. Just like her other books, I'm hooked and loving it!

[Mgraham93]

Ghosts of Albion- Accursed

[sweet satin lover]

A book on bisexual politics and a chick-lit novel called "Twelve days of christmas"

[Zooeys_Bridge]

Room by Emma Dognahue
The Book on the Bookshelf by Henry Petroski
Superman Birthright by Mark Waid

and lots and lots and lots of Faberry fanfiction.

Bright-Sided by Barbara Ehrenreich

A fascinating critique of the prevailing ideology of positive thinking, and how this has influenced religion, business and medicine.

I'm particularly interested in the assumed link between having a 'positive attitude' and physical health, and how this can place an extra burden on the sick.

[sweet satin lover]

reading several books at the same time but the most recent one is Coldheart Canyon by Clive Barker, very atmospheric and very well written. Love it books make me soooo happy

[little.hesperides]

One for the Money, by Janet Evanovich. This book is freakin' hilarious, and thankfully the first in a long line of books about Stephanie Plum, who stumbles into becoming a bounty hunter along with a witty prostitute named Lulu. Not even kidding.

Of course, this is really just to kill time until the library notifies me that the second Hunger Games book is available.

[CrazyTaraWitch]

I'm trying to read Mrs. Dalloway, but god is hard! I don't think I've ever had this much trouble with a book.

[JustSkipIt]

People of the Book by Gwendolyn Brooks

Rachel - you would really like this one.

[BeMyDeputy]

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebbecca Skloot, one of the best nonfiction books I've ever read.

[RowanLanfear]

Can anyone recommend some decent lesbian novels? I seem to be having trouble finding a good list. I have recently read Curious Wine and Emily On My Mind (both good). Just looking for some opinions and suggestions :-) I am looking for something with a more contemporary setting.

[Ariel]

Back to an old favorite, Impro by Keith Johnston - he's one of the originators of the modern improv movement in theatre. But what's fascinating to me is not just the exercises but his essays on education, narrative, mask work, and how theatre affects people. There's a lot to chew on, definitely makes you see the world and the human interactions differently.

How I Met Your Mother

[CrazyTaraWitch]

RowanLanfear: I'm a big fan of Annie on My Mind and Rosemary & Juliet. Blown Away has a good lesbian romance as part of a bigger story.

OT: My first non-1-shot Doctor Who fanfic. It's so weird reading fanfic that isn't Willow/Tara, or at least Buffyverse, but I'm really enjoying it!

[sweet satin lover]

a couple of days ago I started to read the Buffy book "one thing or your mother" very cool yet tame, but I love it because its Buffy Very excited about the 2 Biiig Buffy book collections I have to get through too.
