Thread: What are you reading? What was the last book you enjoyed?

I couldn't put the book down when I started it. It really got me thinking about how much I didn't know about Jesus and how much of it was really true. However, many people who read it(including me) were disappointed with the ending.

I'm currently reading My Life. I find it is going slowly but I'll stick it out and finish it eventually.

next will be:

I am partway through all of these....

The Harry Potter books (3rd right now)
Middlesex...Jeffrey Eugenides
Delusion of Satan...Frances Hill
Under the Black Flag (the Romance and Reality of Life Among Pirates)...David Cordingly
Just a Couple of Days...Tony Vigorito
Lamb...Christopher Moore
Angels and Demons

I have a really hard time reading one book at a time.

I'm on the library waiting list for Angels and Demons, but do stick with the DaVinci Code. I had a hard time putting the book down and found it quite fascinating.

I took Selmar's suggestion from one of the Harry Potter threads and began reading The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman today. I also just finished reading Hidden Prey by John Sandford.

I am almost half way through the first book of TLOTR. It seems as if everyone but me read this in their teen years. I guess I read the Dune series instead.

You're not alone. I haven't read any of the LOTR books. Not only that, I haven't seen the movies either.

:eek:

Truth is I wasn't a huge fan of the books. Only got through 1&2 and stopped halfway through 3 before the 1st movie came out. Saw the Fellowship in the theaters and then finally finished the third. The books were all a tad on the tedious side to me but amazing characters and basic plot. The movies are personal favorites of mine.

I'm actually reading an old book right now that I bought a year or so ago and lost in the shuffle of too many other books to read. False Memory by Koontz. Impressive so far. Creepy, realistic and moving along nicely.

The poet in exile, Red storm rising, and Fighting techniques of a panzergrenadier.

I'm reading Love's Blood by Clark Howard. I don't know if we have any true crime fans here but this is one of the best true crime books I've ever read & I've read quite a few.
