What are you reading?

Right now for my kids book club they are reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore. It's really a pretty good, ya, fiction book. The main character reminds me of the Kill Bill main character. Thumbs up.. worth a read. I'm going to read book two, Fire.. we'll see how that goes.

i appreciate dickens contribution to literature, i cannot read his work. it's like rubbing sandpaper on my eyeballs and the splashing some nice soothing hot sauce in there. i just want to bite the book. literally, i want to bite the thing. i made it through great expectations in school and thought i was never going to read another book again. it wasn't until i found zombie literature that i realized that reading didn't have to be less preferable to cutting off your arm at the elbow by shaving off slices starting at the finger tips.

We've been over this...dickens IS zombie literature...read...become a zombie....

*BRRRRAAAAAIIINNNNNS, old chap?*

So are you saying that you don't like Dickens?

I agree there are some of his books I just can't read. I got a couple of pages into a tale of two cities and gave up. But a Christmas carol and Oliver Twist aren't to bad.

Currently reading Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization by Richard Miles. Although it's scholarly, it's a fairly accessible history of Carthage, which was one of Rome's better known enemies. Worth a read if you like ancient history and even if you don't, it's edifying.

Just finished:

Opium Fiend: 21st Century Slave to a 19th Century Addiction by Steven Martin *****/***** awesome book.

Right now I'm reading:

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window And Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
Diary of a Submissive by Sophie Morgan

Currently its "Childhoods end". Not really sold on it too be honest. Interesting take on the sci-fi invasion genre though.

Really good book, even if somewhat dated...hopefully you finish it, its worth it

I like dated. This one's interesting but at the end of the day its taken me a week to read it. A book I love will take 2 days tops.
Next up "Dune".
