What Are You Reading?



Recommended Posts

Laura, yes!! I love his books. I need to re-read She's Come Undone, I read it years ago when it was on Oprah's Book Club in the 90s but I remember loving it. I most recently read "The Hour I First Believed" which I thought was just incredible too. Have you read it yet? I'm going to look for the prison book you mentioned. He also has a new hardcover release, I just had it in my hand the other day at the bookstore but instead I went with "One Summer" by Bill Bryson which is non-fiction. The new Wally Lamb is called "We are Water". Anyway, I have already said, but to answer the thread -- I am reading "One Summer: America 1927" by Bill Bryson which I am enjoying very much so far. :) :) :)

Yes I've read that one too! It's a great book as are all of his books that I've read.

I was hesitant at first to read the York prison books because they were not "fiction" per se..

But I'm so glad I did!

"We are water" I just looked it up and put it on my nook :)

I know, the movies are never as good. I own every book in the Plum series - even the between the numbers ones - LOVE them. You would prolly like her other books though. I love her sense of humor and she writes the same in all of them.

The Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes books or really good. I think it's 3 they wrote together.

Here are some fiction books I have been reading in the last 2 months or so:

Dan brown - Inferno (I like them all)

John grisham - Sicamore row (next read)

Gilligan Flynn - Gone girl (current)

Richard Preston - the cobra event (similar to the hot zone)

David baldacci- first family

Stephen king - the stand (oldie, but writing is excellent)

When I am looking for something to read, I like to get on the kindle store and look at what is "popular," but being careful to avoid the mommy porn which always ends up near the top of the list. If I am unfamiliar with the author, but it still sounds intriguing, I will first download the sample.

I also like Stephen Frey and Joseph finder; these are mainly wall street, litigation and corporate based fictions. Page turners for me, but you have to be into those genres.

I also read some non fiction mostly related to fitness ( cross fit auto biographies for example), but these will be fairly boring to most. :)

I am not into fantasy or sci fi genres. Will not go near the vampire stuff and do not understand the trending towards them in last few months. Hopefully it is a fad to end soon.

I found Gone Girl quite intriguing. I read Dark Places after that, hoping to find it equally good, and I don't know, it just seemed like murder and mayhem and unhappiness just to make a story out of it. Not sure if I'll read any more of her stuff or not.

Stephen Frey looks intriguing I might try one.

I just reread Gone Girl. Looooove that book.

Just finished Sycamore Road. It was a good read.

The Stand is a kickass King book. If you haven't yet, I suggest 11/22/63 by King.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
