What is everyone reading?
I just finished The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. I thought it was just okay. I think I drew it out too much and just lost interest. I'm starting The Carrie Diaries by Candace Bushnell now.
Re: What are you reading?
... every single day of forever.
I have an artistic eye but little ability. DH is encouraging me to tap into this side of myself do he bought me this book. It is not your typical "learn to draw book". It's more like a textbook that explains the science behind the exercises. My favorite exercise is "Upside Down Line Drawings". It's amazing what you can draw when you don't know what you are looking at!

I'm reading Gone With The Wind
I've never read it before, but I'm really liking it so far.
I read Sex and The City before (finally)
I need to start the book club book soon if I want to have read it before the book club in a few week.
Mary, IIRC, that book dragged a bit for me as I read it, but it was still worth it, especially since you need the storylines to continue on to the next book. Stick with it, I beg you!
Aaaaah, Anna and the French Kiss and Lola and the Boy Next Door were two of my favorite books this year! She's working on another book right now and I cannot WAIT for it to come out!
I'm not reading anything right now - I've been in a reading funk. I'm just calling myself dunzo for this year and trying to figure out what my goal is for 2012.
I tried reading that awhile ago when it was all the rage, but gave up. I feel like I need to try again
The first 200 pages are dry and difficult to get through. It's all the financial background that you need to understand the foundation of the story, and it's booooooring.
But after that, it picks up SO much. If you can manage, I highly recommend getting back to it. Just push yourself through and it will be worth it.
The movie is absolutely incredible. I had some disturbing dreams after, but the storylines are anything but light and fluffy, and I knew that from the books.
Good to know about the first 200 pages! I usually stop after 50 pages or so. Guess my hope of starting and finishing this book over the weekend is kind-of shot since I have a super long list of events and things to do around the house.
I saw it last night and slept like crap afterwards!
Stick with it Kathryn....it's so worth it!
I just read Heaven is for Real and now I'm starting Catching Fire.

I'm actively reading City of Thieves by David Benioff (excellent) and One Thousand White Women - the Journals of May Dodd (can't remember the author.)
Ive been a reading slacker for the past few months so I'm trying to get back into the swing of it.
