I just finished reading a couple of Kathy Reichs' books and the first 4 "Irene Kelly" books by Jan Burke. I'm anxiously awaiting a delayed Christmas present - the latest Lois McMaster Bujold book comes out this month, and my best friend pre-ordered it for me. I also just started The Vorkosigan Companion, edited by Lillian Stewart Carl. It's full of essays and interviews about Bujold's Vorkosigan series (science fiction). I highly recommend anything by Bujold!

On another note, I read What's a Ghoul to Do? by Victoria Laurie. I can't believe I made myself finish it. It had some continuity errors which bugged me, and I didn't find like the way the main character reacted to errors in slang/language made by another character. Plus, I thought some of the errors were very unlikely, even in a non-native English speaker.

I've been reading Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. It says: Through forceful storytelling and wry insight, Levitt and Dubner show that economics is, at root, the study of incentives—how people get what they want, or need, especially when other people want or need the same thing.

A very interesting read.

I have also been reading Motley Crue: The Dirt, Confessions of the World's Most Notorius Rock Band. I can't put this book down, it's fantastic! I would not recommend it for anyone who is easily offended. But if you like rock and roll it's a must read and very well written. It will surprise you.

I LOVE this thread! Giving me some great ideas.

I became a mom and figured I didn't have time to read. I read to my children, but that was the extent of it. My oldest is 12 year old.

This fall I picked up the first in the Twilight series and that changed everying.

In 2 weeks I finished the Twilight series, could have read them in 4 days if only I could go without sleep and did not have children or a house to take care of. :regular_smile: Oh, and I hate vampire books, go figure. In those two weeks I also lost 9 pounds....and have steadily lost since. I read when I get hungry. I figure books are a healthy addiction transfer :cursing:.

I tried Meyer's Host, not my favorite but I think it was because I missed the vampires and am not a huge Science Fiction fan.

I picked up a few of Jodi Picoult's books. Some I love, some not so much. They can be a little confusing at first because she switches POV often, but she writes so well you catch on soon, finding the voice of each character. I LOVED her book Second Glance-one of my all time favorite books.

I also enjoyed The Secret Life of Bees, by Monk Kidd. Its an easy read and all about girl power...or I thought it was.

I just finished reading Fairest, by Levine with my daughter's. I enjoyed it so much I cheated and read it through after they went to bed. I have always loved her book Ella, we read it at least once a year.

My all time favorites/books I could read over and over and over:

Romeo and Juliet-

The Old Man and the Sea-Hemingway

Out of Africa-Isak Dinesen

Absolutely everything Jane Austin wrote

Jane Eyre-Charlotte Bronte

Twilight series-as mentioned above

The Hobit, Lord of the Rings series-though I will admit I skipped over most of the songs :cool:. Gotta worship Tolkein

To Kill a Mockingbird-Harper Lee

The God of Small Things-Roy

City of Joy-Lapierre (sp?)

Thank you for the great ideas!

I read Freakonomics and really enjoyed it. It was so interesting how they interconnected events.
