What Book Are You Reading?

I read a lot...probably too much. Anyway, the older I've gotten, there are times I'll find a book I think is so good that I intentionally put it aside and try to make reading it take as long as possible. To prolong the pleasure. =)

Really good books I will eventually read again; but they have to be what I think is good.

 

At the moment I read Alice Munro’s “Dear Life”, which is a very moving collection of short stories about Canadian life in the 50’s and 60’s.

 

The Sound & The Fury, about 1/2 way through.

I LOVE this book. It's a masterpiece! Although it definitely is fiction.

 

I do a lot of camping & a quick search through Amazon horror book reviews and I've purchased these 4 to keep me going...

Summer of night - Dan Simmons
Heart shaped box - joe hill
Swan song - Robert McCammon
The fisherman - john langan

I'll report back if I think any of these are worth further comment

 

I'm fixing to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

 

Well these are sitting at the foot of my bed, you're welcome to help yourself:

 

Herbert West Reanimator. by HP Lovecraft.

 

I've been alternating between Anna Karenina and Crime and Punishment.

 

I just /listened/ to my first audio book and it was pretty good though it was a cd so not so much a "book" and it had music and sound effects in the background and also, the guy talking was the guys own stories so he read it like he'd tell it, so maybe not a book really at all but it was an Audio Album.

Just takes about what they used to get up to and breaking into cemetery and asylums etc. just stuff you do when young.

 

Almost finished Treasure Island by RLS.

Tis a short one.

 

I'm actually re-reading my favorite book from my childhood. Called, Bones on Black Spruce Mountain. It's not a bad read even as an adult.

 

Just finished "The Hummingbird's Daughter" and plan to start the sequel soon "The Queen of America"

just put "Bones on Black Spruce Mountain" on my must read list, thanks for the suggestion.

 

Absolutely. It's a short book about an adventure that two boys go on. Fantastic little book.

 

I go back and 'visit' my old friends quite frequently! I don't know how many times I've read the Hobbit books and Narnia books since I was a kid! One that haunts me is "Where the Red Fern Grows" it never fails to bring on the water works!!!

 

A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on The Other, by Greg Prato.

Still reading Anna Karenina. I normally only read in bed and fall asleep within 5 minutes so its slow going

But I just found out the Princess Bride is a book, imagine that..ive spent my whole life thinking it was just a movie. So that's next on the list!

 

The Amazing Kavalier and Clay, by Michael Chabon. It won the Pulitzer several years ago. Big book, about 500 pages. I'm almost halfway. So far I'm loving it!

 

ONLY 500 PAGES????? I love a big fat book! I love the stories that go into many books. But ATM I am cursing George R.R. Martin and his slow finishing skills......I am beginning to wonder if I will live long enough to read his next installment - if he'd just stop enjoying life and sit down and finish his next book in the Song of Ice & Fire and I could live long enough to read it I just might die happy.

 

^I actually wish he would stop writing already

Please make it stop.
