Has there been a "what are you reading?" thread lately?
Me: The Presidents Club.
I heard a lot of good reviews. It is much dryer that I thought it would be, but it is still good. I am only up to LBJ.
Re: Has there been a "what are you reading?" thread lately?
I'm onto the 2nd in the 50 shades of gray porn saga "50 shades darker"
I'm in the middle of a VERY interesting Issue of People Magazine!
BUT I should probably read real books more...
I just honestly laughed out loud at your sig pic.
Will this make me want to slit my wrists? I am a sap and sad books put me into a funk.
My mom gave me this:

Debbie Downer over here.
By Walter Issacson? I freaking loved it. I read the whole thing in a weekend and I never do that.
I'm almost done w/ the 2nd book of the Game of Thrones series. Clash of Kings, I think.
I'm going to start The Duchess, it looks interesting.

I'm in the middle of Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson, aka The Bloggess. Highly, HIGHLY recommend.
Just finished reading The House at Tyneford, which I also recommend, particularly to anyone who is waiting on pins and needles for the third season of Downton Abbey.

Yes! That one! I loved his Bejamin Franklin biography, so I guess it's not surprising. I just ddn't expect to find a story about such an unlikeable guy so fascinating.
A Prayer for Owen Meany. Still. It's effing LONG and I get tired really fast when I read right before bed. It's really good though!
There's one part that made my ugly cry. Otherwise, I've been okay. Of course it's a downer topic, but it's interesting so I am okay with it.
But that one part...
Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
It's good but leprosy does not make good lunch reading.
The author was a friend of my sister in high school.
I started out finding him pretty unlikeable but by the end I found him to be flawed, strangely endearing. I found the whole hippy, enlighted, yet incredible cruel apsect fascinating.
i'm reading the orphan master's son (adam johnson)--juuuust started, rereading the hunger games, and reading this catherine the great biography that is supposed to be riveting, but i'm so tired at night i keep falling asleep over the russian names.
i just read 11/22/63 (stephen king) and got bored half way through and thought the end was implausible, even considering that it's a book about time travel.
year of wonders is up next for me. i love geraldine brooks.
i was thinking of reading the new john irving, but i'm not sure if it will piss me off. sometimes irving pisses me off.
Insurgent and Deadlocked (new Sookie Stackhouse).
Now I need more!!
i'll be curious to see what you think of it when you're done.
i thought there could've been much more with the shakespeare, and while it was an enjoyable read, i found that it slipped from my head as soon as i was finished. like one of those lifetime movies (not one with the awesome tori spelling, natch).
I don't think it will end up one of my favorites, but it's been worth reading. Definitely not one that I can't put down.
Little Earthquakes by Jennifer Weiner. Total chicklit, easy read.
After reading "Age of Innocence", I needed something light.
Most recently I did the Hunger Games series which I of course loved, Rules of Civility Amor Towles - which I loved, I feel like Mudbound was fairly recent (loved) I just started Roses by Leila Meacham & the House at Riverton which I also liked, some girls yesterday on Nest Book Club recommended a few that I've added to my list - the thread is fairly recent if you want to check out their rec's.
I'm about to start A Room With a View in honor of LHC. I'm a stalker like that.
It's awesome!
