What books are you reading?

In the same vein as movie/music threads...

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

I am now reading reading Heartless by some author whose name escapes me. Also, I'm still trudging my way through The Fellowship of the Ring... very, very slowly. For school, one of the books I'm reading is The Purpose Driven Life. I'm loving it.

She left many of us behind. She left us heartbroken. And though we cry now there'll come a time when we'll laugh. Because we'll see her again someday. We'll be with her in heaven. And when we go to heaven she'll be there to greet us. She'll be there to say "Welcome home." -From a poem that SnC wrote about her grandmother

I finished The Waiting, excellent book. I am starting my first Christmas novel for 2010: I'll Be Home for Christmas by Julie Cannon. New author (at least to me) and a new series. The second one already has me intrigued so I have it on order as well.

The Ferryman Will be There.
It's the first book I've read since the summer pretty much. I'm half done it now. It's not too bad.

I'm rereading the Harry Potter series in seventy-two hours. They aren't consecutive, but I'[m trying to see how fast I can read them. So far I don't think I've broken twenty-four yet, but we'll have to see.

I've been on a book-reading rampage the last week: Persuasion (Jane Austen), And Then There Were None (Agatha Christie), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and The Hunger Games. On the other end of the spectrum, I'm a chapter away from finishing Mere Christianity, which I started at the beginning of the semester.

One of my favorite books.

How is this series by the way?

I just bought this year's winner of the Booker Prize to see what is being regarded as "good writing" these days.

It's great! I couldn't put it (the first one) down, and I can't wait to read the next one!
