Ok, whats everyone reading now, and how are you liking it, would you recommend it?
I am re-reading Stephen Kings' "The Stand", I read it years ago as a young teen, and it went over my head, so I thought I'd give it another shot, now that Im older and wiser(?). Wish Me Luck! S.

Right now I am reading Stephen King's "Everything's Eventual". 14 short stories that gave me a scare. I'm only on the 9th story "The Road Virus Heads North". It is a really good book (and scary)! Reply #2. Apr 26 04, 1:32 PM |

Dear Live4trivia, I love that book. Let me know if you've read the one about the waiter yet? S. Reply #3. Apr 26 04, 3:59 PM |

Hmm....I'm thinking, and thinking, but nothing comes to mind. I don't think I'm that far in the book. But you are right, it is a really good book, I really enjoy it. So far, my favorite story is "The Man in The Black Suit". That one freaked me out. "Autopsy Room 4" also really good! I couldn't put the book down until I finished that story. Boy, Stephen King sure knows how to write! :) Reply #4. Apr 26 04, 5:56 PM |

I've just been on holidays and enjoyed the luxury of having lots of time to read. While on holiday, I read "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown and "The Last Juror" by John Grisham. I am currently reading "Twisted", a book of short stories by Jeffrey Deaver. Reply #5. Apr 26 04, 7:29 PM |

I am reading "Big Stone Gap" by Adriana Trigiani. It is pretty good. I love Stephen King, has anyone read the "Wolves of Calla"? I haven't yet, but the Dark Tower series is my favorite. Reply #6. Apr 27 04, 4:54 AM |

I just finished reading "The Last Ride" by Tom Eidson. The movie "The Missing" with Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones is based on this book. The book is much more in depth, a great read. Reply #7. Apr 27 04, 5:01 AM |

Scorpia, by Anthony Horowitz. It's really good, a great last book in the series about Alex Rider. Reply #11. May 04 04, 10:50 AM |

I haven't read that one yet, romeomikegolf, I'm guessing you enjoyed it if you've read it twice. I'm a huge Pratchett fan, unfortunately, my friend has my entire Pratchett collection at the moment. Reply #13. May 05 04, 6:58 AM |

Typical of me, I'm reading several books at the same time... "The Dragon Reborn" by Robert Jordan, "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo (it gets better each time I read it), and "Richard III" by William Shakespeare (schoolwork) I would recommend reading Richard III, as it has a great supply of Shakespearean insults in there. :) The Robert Jordan book, I'm not so keen on, but I'm hanging in there to see whether it picks up. And Les Mis...every time I read that book, I find something else I missed. It's an awesome book. Reply #17. May 07 04, 1:42 AM |

I absolutly LOVE Les Mis! I memorized the entire musical, but have only seen it live once... I listen to the TAC soundtrack almost every day. Anyways, the books I'm in the middle of right now... Les Miserables (Lol, coincidence!), Gone With the Wind (Ugh, school...), The Dolphins of Pern (Again.), The Last Juror (Grisham, awesome writer!), and, my pride and joy, Airborn, by Kenneth Oppel. It's not available for sale yet! I entered the First Look program at the Harper Collins Eos Website, and I got send a free advanced copy. I have to write a review by June First, though. Reply #18.
