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 don't know. This one is pretty horrible. I can only read it in short, two-minute segments of time.

I HATE IT!! :cry:

Sorry. I would suggest Dramatic Audio but they did not dramatize the book you are reading. Maybe you should start another book.

I finished "The Giver" this morning. It gives you a lot of food for thought. Well written...I thoroughly enjoyed it.

...and the ending is so intriguing! The author never specifies exactly what happens, so it's really a matter of opinion! Altogether, an excellent book :)

It's part of a trilogy. The ending is better resolved by the other two books.

Actually book nine is the most boring book of the Left Behind series. You would be better off listening to the Dramatic Audio version of that one.
I only read it once, I think, and I didn't like it much either :-k

I finished The Colonel's Lady, it was excellent as all of Laura Frantz's books are. Next up for me is The Journey by Wanda Brunstetter. It is the first book in her Kentucky Brothers series/trilogy.

I'm reading Sisters of the Quilt trilogy by Cindy Woodsmall. I don't particularly like Amish fiction, but this one was very different and caught my attention. :yes:
