I have read Like Dandelion Dust...I actually have that one, and gave it to my sister to read so that we could go see the movie, but either it is out of theaters already, or it didn't come to our city, cuz our movies theaters don't have it listed.

I haven't read Between Sundays, but I would like too.

Well, book 2 is done. I moved on to book 3. Dekker is pretty good at "painting the picture".

I did discover as I got ready to read the first book that Dekker's chosen genre is "Christian Fiction". Having read a couple other ones, I didn't really pick that up, but this "Circle" series leaves no doubt whatsoever what his influences are.

Im currently reading Watership Down and am taking suggestions for what to read after. I like the author. I read the Plague Dogs awhile ago. I found the two books in a pile of other books that were free and headed to the dump. WHO THROWS OUT BOOKS?

thehoundgirl · Nov 10, 2010

I am reading The Lost Dogs right now. Then I have Dog Lost to read and Oogy.

I am reading City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare...Book 2 in The Mortal Instruments series.

Is anyone on goodreads.com where you can add and rate books you have read and stuff? You can add friends and look at the books they rated.

Well, I'm on book 4 of the "trilogy"

I'm reading Game of Thrones! Great book... although it took me reading 55% of it to get into it (exact percentage brought to you by Amazon Kindle.) They're going to make a tv show out of it on one of my movie channels (HBO or Showtime)! Super yay!

I just finished "Tell Me Where It Hurts: A Day of Humor, Healing, and Hope in My Life as an Animal Surgeon" by Dr. Nick Trout.

It was really good!!! I really enjoyed reading it & getting a vet's perspective. I think anyone on here would really like it too!

And now I just started "Two Lives" by Vikram Seth, which is a completely different book...another memoir, but of an Indian man who falls in love with a German girl or something. I don't know, I'm only like 10 pages in...but it sounds good so far! Pretty easy read too.

Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann. Excellent so far.

I'm also trying to get through Crime and Punishment. I enjoyed Notes From Underground(is the Underground Man is the first ever documented emo?) so I figured I would try Dostoevsky's most well-known work. Not liking Crime and Punishment so much. It's tedious and the character is miserable and terrible without being relatable like the Underground Man.

Freeze, I read that book as well. However, I did not like it. It just didn't read well to me.

I just bought and finished "The Confession" by Grishm. Thought it was good. Now I'm reading "Port Mortuary" by Patricia Cornwell.

Miakoda · Dec 1, 2010

Dreeza. Sorry, phone changed it.

Right now I'm reading Garden's of the Moon (a Malazan Book of the Fallen).

When I first started off I was super de duper confused, I couldn't keep everybody straight, I didn't know who was good and who was bad, the whole magic/gods/empire thing was confusing me...but now, 200 pages in, I am smitten. Still confused, mind you, but I kind of get it now and I love it. I think I'll be reading the rest of the books.

It's sort of like Final Fantasy XII in book form. Political and magical intrique, awesome characters, and just an amazing world.

drmom777 · Dec 1, 2010

I just finished the Stieg Larsson Lisbeth Salander series. Very enjoyable. I wish there were more.

HayleyMarie · Dec 1, 2010

Right now I just started reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.

So far I am really enjoying it.

oakash · Dec 1, 2010

Terry Pratchett FTW!

He writes an awesome series about a world called Diskworld. Because it is a disk. Anyway, I am currently reading Feet of Clay, and I just finished Gaurds! Gaurds!

I'm also reading The Other End of the Leash.

MPP · Dec 6, 2010

Terry Pratchett is The Best! And Discworld is absolutely awesome. I own almost all the Discworld books.

Doncha just love the witches?!?

sillysally · Jan 15, 2011

Just started "House of Reckoning" by John Saul......

PixieSticksandTricks · Jan 15, 2011

Finnishing up "Never Let Me Go".

And also reading "Dead as a Doornail" by Charlaine Harris.

eddieq · Jan 15, 2011

I just finished "Hitman" by Lawrence Block. I cannot anti-recommend this book enough. Tedious at a minimum. Almost as poorly written as those dreadful Twilight books. No plot to speak of. I'm not sure why I continued reading it.
