I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood series ... until the last one, where she got into D/s and it got a little too 'pat' for my taste.  I'm going to start Twilight tonight - I've heard so much about it that I figured my daughter shouldn't have all the fun.  lol



raveonette -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 6:17:48 PM)

I've read the first 4 BDB books and liked them a lot, though #2 is my fave. I have the last 2 in my TBR but I've heard so many negative reviews I think I've been avoiding them... I hear Lara Adrain's series in in the same vein (ha!) I read and really liked 'Twilight', even though I've been out of high school more than a few years :) I actually got my mom into them as well, I have the second one waiting to be read along with "The Host" by Meyer.

I'm also reading the 5th Sookie Stackhouse book, Dead As A Doornail by Charlaine Harris. I LOVE this series, the voice is so unique.

Thornhappy.......I guess when I lost it...was the Frito Lay novel...You know the one...menopause, robs the frito lays truck........I can see that happening............and as I get older I can't help but wonder...do I really wear too much spandex...snickers

I totally understand the looks.........my imagination gets the best of me at times, somewhat photogenic...which can be a pain, and somewhat embarrassing at times.

Laugh away I say........I am a big fan



CruelDesires -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 6:53:38 PM)

Steven Brust kicks ass. Ive read all of his books.

Currently I am reading the following books "Yes, I read more then one at a time".
The revenge of the 47 samurai by Erik Christian Haugaard.
The woods out back by R.A. Salvatore.
The Crusader "Saladins spy" by John Cleve a pseudonym used by Adrew Offutt (Pure porn)

Just finished The Colors of Chaos for the 4th time by LE Modesitt. Just before that The Elsium commission and The Ordermaster by the same author. Before that I read the book "Visions from a foxhole" by William A. Foley jr.

C-D




TieNTeas -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 6:58:10 PM)

After reading almost all of his other books, I'm starting in on Terry Brooks' Armageddon's Children.  http://www.terrybrooks.net/genesis/ac.html



feylin -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 7:45:34 PM)

I really enjoyed Armageddon's Children and could not wait for the second installment...until I read it. <grins>  I just wanted more from it.

Reading Christopher Moore's  Lamb again -- I love Biff.  Audio book:  Lee Child's Jack Reacher series..or is that Reecher? (I'm listening to, not reading, several of them at work.)  But I am on the library's waiting list for Janet Evanovich's audiobook #14 of the Stephanie Plum series and really want to buy more Twisted by Jeffrey Deaver.



hisannabelle -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 7:49:54 PM)

currently i'm rereading the wheel of time series by robert jordan (may the last embrace of the mother welcome him home). i'm on the tenth book, crossroads of twilight, at the moment. not my favorite in the series, but i never got all the way through the eleventh book, so to understand what goes on there i had to reread at least the previous five or six!

next i'll be hopefully rereading the series a song of ice and fire by george r.r. martin. and i'll also be rereading chronicles of narnia, lord of the rings, harry potter, and his dark materials in the next few months for one of my classes. and i've been working my way slowly through the saheeh international translation and abdullah yusuf ali's translation of the qur'an - not my favorite translations but more mainstream than the one i normally choose to read, and ali's translation will be used for another class i'm taking in fall as well.

a'ishah.

feylin,
The 3rd book, The Gypsy Morph, is due out the end of this month.  I learned to wait for the whole trilogy to be out (or close to it) before starting.

kiwisub12 -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 7:57:25 PM)

I just finished rereading Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder - really enjoyed this book, with an interesting , different bend, and will pick up the second book - Magic Study - tomorrow. I had to order it.

I also have  The Hidden Family by Charles Stross - second in a series, fantasy, with an interesting character.

and Thief with No Shadow by Emily Gee - and have no idea how good it is,
and  The Submission Gallery by Lindsey Gordon - and is a one-handed book.

so i have lots to keep me busy for a wee while. [:D]



bipolarber -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 8:03:28 PM)

Brust is a great guy. He's a semi regular at Mile High Con in Denver every October. I like his stuff a lot.

But right now I'm reading "On Writing" by Stephen King (and am astounded by the man's honestly about his life.) and picking up all sorts of wonderful tips on the craft.

"Faint Echoes, Distant Stars" by Ben Bova (The science and politics of finding life beyond Earth) Great reading, BTW, Bova brings the last twenty years of sicence relating to SETI and NASA's search for life on other planets into sharp focus. Highly recommended.

"Man's Search for Meaning" a philosophical essay by a nazi concentration camp survivor on why life is NOT pointless, and why we should always fight those who would take away liberty and choices. (the nature of the soul, he argues)

And, whenever I've had a few minutes to myself, I pull out a copy of "The Stories of Ray Bradbury" and just love re-reading all the short stories that I loved as a kid: The Fog Horn, Kaleidoscope, The Gift, A Sound of Thunder, Tyrannosaurus Rex, The Black Ferris, and the whole of the Martian Chronicles.... The man's getting on in years, and the last time I saw him, he was getting pretty crotchetty... but he was still as sharp as ever... still Ray... still that 12 year old kid from Wakegan, Illinois.



KyttynTheMynx -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 8:06:39 PM)

I am currently reading Patty Duke and Gloria Hochma's A Brilliant Madness - Living With Manic Depressive Illness.  I am only one page in, but so far its good.



GreedyTop -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 8:08:53 PM)

Currently reading Sue Grafton - P is for Peril

add me to the Evanovich fans...

I wish the local library would hurry up and reopen... I'm getting tired of rereading my home library(in some cases,  for the 4-5th times..)

Something Wicked This Way Comes still gives me the shivers. It changes every time i read it.



chenDawg -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 9:35:41 PM)

I just recently finished Carl Hiaasen's Sick Puppy (for the 3rd time).... I love his books :)



DomMeinCT -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 10:08:51 PM)

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz.  It's very good.



MadRabbit -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 10:09:09 PM)

Finally got around to "The Prince" by Machiavelli



AMaster -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 10:12:34 PM)

At this moment I am reading really dumb posts in the forums.



BrokenSaint -> RE: So, what's everyone currently reading? (8/1/2008 10:15:28 PM)

I just finished Survivor by Palahniuk. I just started a bit ago on this book I picked up at a library sale. Ilium by Dan Simmons. It's okay, but a little slow starting, so I've been re-reading a few favorites when I'm just not in the mood for it. Right now those favorites include Hesse's the glass bead game, and Huxley's brave new world (<3 Huxley).
