I am currently reading "The Last Letter from Your Lover" by Jojo Moyes which was recommended by someone on this board previously (lroc?). I really like it, although it was a little slow at first.
Since I am almost finished it, I am looking for some inspiration as to what to pick up next.
Re: What's Everyone Reading?
i am a dork. i have a running list of books from posts here, elsewhere on the nest and other places. be warned, some are of the self-help/workplace leadership variety. here are a few:
The Nature Principle- Louv
Keys to the Kingdom- Graham
Choosing Civility- Forni
Smart Couples Finish Rich- Bach
Garden of Beasts- Larson
Shantaram- Roberts
How Remarkable Women Lead
I am currently reading, Cryptonomicon- Stephenson. It is a beast though. super long but a good read, so far.
I am simultaneously reading The Best Birth, Green Housekeeping and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (listening to audio book in the car).

I just finished the Hunger Games trilogy, which was good easy reading. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to the movie which is coming out next Spring.
And right now, I'm reading the Steve Jobs biography. Awesome book. I was worried that it would be too tech or business oriented for leisurely reading, but that is not the case. Very interesting; I'm flying through it actually.
That was such a good book.
I just read Two Kisses for Maddy by Matt Logelin. Be forewarned that this was an emotional book. You can check out Matt's blog for the background but it was really really good.
I also recently finished...
I am working on House Rules by Jodi Picoult. I feel like I have been reading this book forever, but I keep putting it down for long periods at a time. I like it so far.
Next up is Skipping Christmas by John Grisham. My book club always picks a holiday book for our December gathering.
After that is Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand. I've heard it's amazing.
I just finished the last book in the Stieg Larsson series, The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest and I thought it was the best one of the three. Oddly enough it was the longest - which worried me due to his tendency to get wordy. But I think I read it faster than the others, it moved very quickly
I just started Water For Elephants

I usually post on The Nest Book Club but lurk over here occasionally. I just finished the audio book of Henrietta Lacks today and loved it. I'm not normally a fan of non fiction but it was really listen to! I'm currently reading The Help and really enjoying it.
For those that are regular readers I suggest checking out goodreads.com if you haven't already. It helps me keep track of what I want to read and what I've read already.
