Then The Plague is for you as well!

I also really liked the Count of Monte Cristo, but I read an abridged version on accident

The Count of Monte Cristo is on my list but the library didn't have it. I think my friend has it though so I'll ask her if I can borrow it

now you got me on a reading kick...reading Lost Moon based on the Apollo 13 mission. quite interesting stuff...and as the wife says " Nice to see you engaged in a book" but its true, if you find something you enjoy and read about it, it doesn't feel like reading....

Yeah I know what you mean. I've been reading the Harper Connelley books by the woman who wrote True Blood and I'm just whizzing through them.

I read for 3 hours straight last night and I didn't even realise. I was so shocked when I looked at the time.

truly forgotten how much I enjoyed reading about NASA. Plus, I have seen Apollo 13 so many times, now some of the movie makes more sense (little inside jokes) and a perspective of NASA many have (including I) have never seen. Also finding other books to compliment my inquisitive mind!

Man this is making me want to read, but no time no time....

 

[Abcinthia]

I might slow down reading for a couple of days. In the past week I've read... 5 books. Yeah cos I've just started book 6.

I want to carry on reading but so much in a short time is just making me a bit... sluggish. And I don't want to make myself bored of reading.

I keep continually reading spy-military stuff and getting rather bored of it, so can someone recommend me a type of book to read?

Don't like romantic books as I don't like them.

just finished Lost Moon, back to the library today to get another book...I am liking this!!!

I don't know how to feel about the Kindle. I like books. They smell good, they feel good.... it feels somehow wrong to read them on a screen instead.

But the storage capacity is tempting.

Can't call me a fan of Kindle. I like things that are tangible. Give me a book I can pick up and read, smell, feel, and pass on to another which doesn't require a cord or batteries, thank you very much!

Your library didn't have the Count of Monte Cristo?? WTF?? Time to change libraries.

I recently picked up The Soloist by Steve Lopez (later, a movie with Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey, Jr) and The Ghost Writer by Philip Roth (selected for a Pulitzer in 1980). I'm also a diehard Stephen King fan because his characters and dialogue are so realistic and his imagery is intense.

just picked up Failure is not an option, Gene Krantz (flight coordinator from Mercury to Apollo 14, I believe)

I can't really change libraries. I think the next one to where I live is in the next town.

But my friend has The Count of Monte Cristo and she's going to lend it to me.

I'm currently reading The Man In The Iron Mask. Got a Dean Koontz book (Breathless I think) and a book on Mary Tudor from the library as well.

I saw Under The Dome by Stephen King at the library but it was massive. And as I had to go around the supermarket after I went to the library, I didn't want to carry it around :surrender

I may order it off amazon though.

EDIT: I just ordered Under The Dome. But I'm too cheap to pay for fast delivery lol

I don't blame ya. It's not "light" reading! In either sense of the word. I'm still barely past the 1/2 way point in the behemoth. Unemployment left me plenty of time for reading, but working again, not just fulltime, but overtime every week is cutting into all kinds of other parts of my previously open schedule.

Oh yeah, anybody looking for light reading check out Robert Fulghum. He wrote All I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarden and several follow-ups afterwards. I've read them all as a teen and found them to be very funny and entertaining stories. They're short and fun and you can just read a couple of the mini-chapters and put it down and pick it up again and read a few more. He's also a close friend to my literary idol: Stephen King. Though, they write on 2 completely different subject matters.
