Sooo, what are you reading these days??

[threeh]

I have a slight obsession with vampires these days so that's what I've been reading. It started with Stephanie Meyers in the summer and has been going since then. I did the Southern vampire books then the Queen Betsy books and I just got the first few Anita Blake series in the mail. I'm also hoping to read the new book by Steve Martin (born standing up, I think) What's on your reading list this winter???

A friend just dropped off the book "The Nine" for me to read. It's an inside story of the current Supreme Court. I'm in the middle of reading Stephen Colbert's humor book "I am America (and so can you)."

Kathy Reich's Bones books are in my pile..but I did just finish a Jennifer Cruise novel (with Bob Mayer) that was a fun read.

I've missed this sort of thread thanks for starting it!

The Choice by Nicholas Sparks!

I read Twilight and really liked it, but don't plan to go on with the series. I've been invited to do a story in a vampire anthology in the UK based on the success of my paranormal novel there, so I wanted to brush up on some vampire fiction. I've never written vampires, should be interesting. Can you recommend any other vampire fiction, Tracy?

I'm stuck in a book rut right now as far as reading. I pick up a book, can't get into it, and end up putting it down. Would love new recommendations on anything! Is Colbert as funny on the page as he is on his show?

I am reading "Realityland". I am learning a lot on the building of WDW.

[Davyjones]

I'm working my way through "The Empty Ocean" by Richard Ellis. It's about the current state of overfishing in the world today and all the problems that come from it.

Next up? "Steve and Me" by Terri Irwin. I'm a big Croc Hunter fan, so I am excited about reading this!

[Mickey'sGirl]

I just finished "Long Way Down" the motorcycle journey chronicled by Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman (follow up to "Long Way Round") -- I am about to start "Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself" by Alan Alda. I loved his first book, and am really looking forward to this one! I am also reading Tony Attwood's "Asperger's Syndrome" in preparation for a course I am taking next week. Earlier this week, I ordered a book called the "Fourth Estate" by K. Robert Campbell. I really enjoyed the first in the Cameron Scott series. Hopefully it will arrive just as I finish Alan Alda's book!

Sorry -- no can do Vampires. I gag at the thought of them ...

I just started "People of the book" the brand new novel by Geraldine Brooks (author of March and Year of Wonders). I just read the first chapter last night and I am already hooked!

When I was subbing in the beginning of the year a lot of my students, especially young girls, really talked up the Twilight series. I haven't checked it out yet though.

I'm in the middle of reading Stephen Colbert's humor book "I am America (and so can you)."

Hilarious stuff. I picked that one up shortly after it came up. Love Colbert.

Right now I have just started reading I Am Legend, which is completely different than the movie "based" on it. My boyfriend gave it to me for Christmas.

IN the middle of Victoria Dahl's "To Tempt a Scotsman" and re-reading Stephen King's "Eyes of the Dragon"

[DizNee143]

You might want to try the original vampire book by Bram Stoker - Dracula.

I am reading a few titles now:
First Blood (not because of the new Rambo movie!) By David Morrell

Dark Tower series by Steven King

I read First Blood before the movie came out. I thought the book was much better than the movie.

Dark Tower series I finished as soon as the last book came out. A very enjoyable series that I plan to read again soon.

I just finished the last of the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind - Confessor. I was very disappointed with this book.

I am going to purchase Emergence Labeled Autistic by Temple Grandin, Ph. D.
It's a first hand look into the autistic mind.

When it becomes available, I will purchase the latest Ice and Fire novel by George R. R. Martin.

[drummerboy]

Is Colbert as funny on the page as he is on his show?

Same tongue-in-cheek style. You even get some of the 'looks' with the pictures of him spread throughout.

[Mickey'sGirl]

Do you guys know who Rick Mercer is? He is a kind of Canadian equivalent of Colbert -- and he released a book in 2007 that I've been meaning to read as well. I love to laugh when I'm reading!

I love Temple Grandin, James! She has been such a fabulous ambassador for Aspergians, and all Autistic people. I hope you enjoy her book!

Kathy Reich's Bones books are in my pile..but I did just finish a Jennifer Cruise novel (with Bob Mayer) that was a fun read.

I had the pleasure of reading Kathy Reich's first book while it was still in galleys during a brief stint I put in as a temp at Simon & Schuster. I've loved her ever since.

Right now I'm reading It's All Too Much by Peter Walsh (from TLC's Clean Sweep). I have a slight () clutter issue and I truly believe this book is going to help me get to the root of the problem and clean this place up for good!

I love Rick Mercer. I used to love Friday nights as it was Air Farce (my all-time fave show) followed by This Hour...
I will have to look for that one. I have a stack of books to start this year. Life of Pi and Atonement are on top..just have to find time.
