Anyone out there reading anything really good? I'm reading The Dome by Stephen King right now but going through it faster then I thought and I've got Lovely Bones next in line. Any other reccomendations? Looking to download some good e books right now with a coupon I've got.

Wolf at the Table by Augusten Borroughs.

City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff Vandermeer :howdy:

It Must Have Been Something I Ate by Jeffrey Steingarten

Before that it was Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton

Is that his latest? God, those books are both funny and totally messed up.

Yes. It focuses more on his coming up years, prior to Running With Scissors, then skips that part to after that, and later in life. I am not quite finished with it yet.

How was that? I picked it up the other day and put it back down, wasn't sure if I'd like it.

Ever read any of David Baldacci or Patricia Cornwell both are excellent.

was that good? I heard that it was "eh"..moselty beacause the author died during the middle of writing it.

ya , I've read both. I see Cornwell has a new one out right now. I was actually debating that.

It was good but unlike anything I've read by him before. It's a swashbuckling tale with no weighty subject to ponder, more of a mindless entertainment read. I enjoyed it but it didn't keep me up nights because I was so absorbed in the plot.

I just finished the Lovely Bones. It was good.

If you are a dog person, "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein was really, really good.

Hey you.

I rarely read contemporary novels..with a few exceptions I just can't get into them.

I always tell people to read Faulkner. My southern Lit class really cultivated my love for him. I like "light in August" "the sound and the fury" and "as I lay dying"

And Flannery O'connor's short stories are really neat..kind of dark..interesting reads.

As for newer books...I liked Ellen Foster....:coffee:

I picked this up today, read the first 15-20 pages. Normally I read in bed at night, but I don't think I'll be able to read this one at night, I can't imagine the nightmares it may cause. If you like a scary/weird book, this one is definitely for you. (Well at least from what I can tell by what I've read so far, but this is Stephen King, 'nough said).
