I'm in the midst of Stages on Life's Way (Kierkegaard) and The Ralph Nader Reader (Nader)...

Right now I'm reading Without Due Proces by J.A. Jance and In Her Defense by Stephen Horn.

It's my first time for both of these authors, there books were reviewed in our sunday newspaper.

They sounded fairly interesting so checked them out at the library and I do believe I'm hooked.

I'm reading The Mosquito Coast, by Paul Theroux. It's based on the 1980's movie!

I'm fixing to start A Cry In The Night, by Mary Higgins Clark.

I read The Mosquito Coast--and enjoyed it very much.

Dance to the Music of Time book 3 Anthony Powell. Nine to go . I am still getting to know the people. Some scenes are hilarious. I am not yet hooked, will it get better?

I've read Summer of Fear and now I'm reading Stranger With my Face, both by Lois Duncan.

I have just finished 'Autopsy' the memoirs of Milton Helpern MD (former chief medical examiner of New York City) and am starting Martin Middlebrook's 'The Berlin Raids' about Bomber Command's campaign of August '43-April '44.
I am definitely in a non-fiction phase at the moment.

What I am reading now is a book called On Rue Tatin - by Susan Loomis

Many of us dream of owning a house in a French town, of being able to walk through the markets, talk to the butcher and the baker...be part of small town life, with a Gallic flavour.
Susan Loomis had that dream too, and she made it come true.
After training as a chef in Paris, she came to live in Normandy, and fell in love with an old house in the small town of Louviers. The 300-year-old timbered house, a former convent across the street from the town's great church, retained its wonderful curved staircase and its ineffable light, but the rest was a wreck. She and her husband Michael, a sculptor, threw away there sensible plans to rent and bought the house on Rue Tatin.
On Rue Tatin is the story of their loving restoration of the house and of Susan's enchanted discovery of her neighbours and the way of life in a small French town.
Susan Loomis, a cook-book writer and a cooking-school proprietor, takes you on an inspiring journey full of memorable characters - as she talks to the local shopkeepers, chooses her produce, walks through the market and shares over thirty delicious recipes inspired by the countryside, her family, friends and neighbours.

I'm reading Red Light by Jefferson Parker. Not bad, but a little slow going. After this one it'll have to be some very easy trashy reading for me!!

I am reading "The Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum, at the moment a feature film as well. The book is nothing but non-stop action, a real spy vs. spy vs. spy thriller with so many twists and turns you have to go back a few chapters to refresh your memory about who's who and code words and what was said to whom when and who did what again......it's a great read! I'm almost finished.......

The Silmarillion by J.R.R Tolkien/Chistopher Tolkien:D
Finished it today. Picked it up after about half a year right in between the Quenta Silmarillion.

I have to read the Unfinished Tales and History about Middle Earth. *g*

Apart from that I enjoy reading novels by Minette Walters and Elizabeth George. Used to read Stephen King but his work has deteriorated in the last few years.

Just finished Cold Paradise by Stuart Woods. LIke it so much I had to run out to B&N to get more of the series. Now am reading N.Y. Dead.

Also just finished Hard Eight by Janet Evanovich. I Read it in less than a day, only to find out it is #1 Best Seller list. Don't know whose list -- probably B&N. (B&N = Barnes and Noble)

So many books - so little time. I also enjoy the Lilian Jackson Braun "cat" books.

Right at the moment I'm taking it a little slow. Dubliners by James Joyce and Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris.

At the moment I am reading "High Flight" by David Hagberg. It is an engrossing spy novel with the intrigue so far running from Japan to the States to Russia. It is a fast moving, believable book. The beginning of the book features the poem "High Flight" by RCAF Flight Lieutenant John Gillespie Magee Jr. who wrote it shortly before his death at the age of l9. I remember having to learn that poem in school. It is a beautiful poem.

I just finished reading Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. All I can say is that it's one good book

I'm currently reading The Great Gatsby.

Just started Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions", Steinbeck's "America and Americans"...and my calculus textbook.

At the moment I'm reading my 2nd favourite book of all times - Richard Brautigan's "In Watermelon Sugar". I seem to be one of those people who read good books over and over again.

I thought Jane Eyre was great, too. I've read it a couple of times. Right now, I'm just finishing re-reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. And I'm going to start on a Hamish Macbeth mystery by M. C. Beaton, A Highland Christmas.

Right at the the moment I'm reading "Runelords: Wizardborn" by David Farland and "Riddlemaster" by Patricia McKillip. My God, I love Fantasy!

Me too, Lirio! My favorite recreational genre! I am reading "A Cavern of Black Ice" by J.V Jones right now! I like d her first series.

Come to think of it . . .I'll maybe start a fantasy thread . . .

(Ok, this thread has really made it obvious that I haven't bought a book in a long time!)

Actually started "High Fidelity" by Nick Hornby last night, and so far, so good.

On top of re-reading LOTR, I'm reading Journey Into Medieval England, by Michael Jenner and Lost Country Life by Dorthy Hartley (also about medieval England)

Marie Antoinette -The Journey by Antonia Fraser... excellent
Atonement by Ian McEwan ... also excellent.

I've been trying to find an interesting new series lately...so right now I'm in the middle of the first Redwall book. So far it's really good; incredibly well written and packed with action.

I'm also reading an award-winning book called "Rebels Against Slavery." It focuses on both famous and not-so-famous rebels, of all races, and rebellions. Though mostly a novel on slavery in the Americas, it highlights some in other countries as well.
