Every now and then I like to check in to see what people out there are reading.
So what about you? What are you reading?
I just finished China Mieville’s Embassytown, and will be starting The Invisible Bridge soon.

"State of Wonder" by Anne Patchett. I'm dying of envy.
Finished reading THOSE IN PERIL by Wilbur Smith. Action-packed, mystery thriller coupled with romance. A novel full of surpriseS.
Just read John Stephen's THE EMERALD ATLAS and K.A. Stewart's Jesse James Dawson series (A DEVIL IN THE DETAILS and A SHOT IN THE DARK). Loved them all!
The Dark Half by Stephen King.
I'm rereading the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey.
Crescent Dawn by Clive Cussler
The Ancient Celts by Barry Cunliffe (nonfiction)
Leanardo Da Vinci by Kenneth Clark (nonfiction)
And a guide to stuff you can find on the beaches in Florida which is really rather interesting…
Hey katdish, I LOVE Stephen King's It! I love that book more than anything!!
anyways, I'm reading Three Musketeers!
Just finished the adorable "The Gorgon in the Gully" by Melina Marchetta – a MG book thats making its way around the world via my goodreads group.
Just finished LUCKY JIM by Kingsley Amis, going to start THE ISLE OF BLOOD by Rick Yancey.

The funny thing about posts like this is that people are probably only going to comment if they love and/or are proud of what they're reading. It'd be much more interesting if you HAD to comment after reading the post:)
*scurries off without mentioning what I'm reading*
^^^
oh come on just tell us what you're reading. How bad can it be? Is it some crappy erotica novel?
Just finished PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS series by Rick Riordan.
Just finished THE ROAD by McCormack and started THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE by Follet. KITE RUNNER by Hoesseini on deck. Thinking about picking up Anne Rand to read in the meantime. Also reading 2 Corinthians.
Just finished a bunch of chapter books last weekend: JUDY MOODY, CLEMENTINE, RALPH S. MOUSE, IVY AND BEAN. My next book for youngish readers will be PURE DEAD TROUBLE, by Debi Gliori.
I also read SOLD, by Patricia McCormick, and it was amazing. I love books like that.
I'm currently reading ERAGON by Christopher Paolini, and will read ROT AND RUIN when I finish that.
Taylor, ha! No, DEFINITELY not some crappy erotica romance.
It's a YA dystopian (probably not giving too much away there), and I haven't so thoroughly NOT connected with a book in a long time. I keep thinking it will get better, but it hasn't. And since I don't want to quasi-endorse a book I haven't liked (or straight-up slam another writer's work, especially since this writer happens to be published and I'm not), I'll just stick with not mentioning it:)
Just finished Brian Keene's Dark Hollow and about to begin Nicholas Spark's The Notebook.
I just finished Angelfall by Susan Ee. My new favorite of all time.
I'm reading Suzanne Collins' Mockingjay and Tina Fey's Bossypants.
Krista, is it hunger games? Is it Ender's Game? Is it self published or indie published or epublished or whatever the correct term is nowadays?
Busy Monsters by William Giraldi. Nice style, well-crafted, interesting and unlike other books I've read lately.
Just finished POSSESS by debut author and fellow Apocalypsie Gretchen McNeil. Loved it.
I'm about to dive into THE NIGHT CIRCUS….
"The Best American Mystery Stories," sandwiched between dozens of "How To Find An Agent" and "What Publishers Really Want" articles.
Reading a old classic – To Kill a Mocking Bird
The funny thing about you asking this question right now is that I'm actually just finishing up JACOB WONDERBAR AND THE COSMIC SPACE KAPOW.
Ram Dass and Shreve's THE PILOT'S WIFE (again!).
Jo Ann Beard's In Zanesville, and I love it.
Divergence! Finished it in a day. Wished book two was ready now.
Beginning The Night Circus tonight.
*Just* finished Queen of the Dead by Stacey Kade and First Grave on the Right by Darynda Jones.
Currently reading Beggars in Spain by Nancy Kress for my book club.
Lamb by Christopher Moore and Ripple by Mandy Hubbard are on deck.
Recently finished THE FAMILY FANG by Kevin Wilson and about to start Tom Perrotta's THE LEFTOVERS.
It's actually quite fun to answer this at the moment since I'm reading such a variety of books:
NOVELS
*Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder
*A Brief History of Montmaray, by Michelle Cooper
*The Demigod Files, by Rick Riordan
*The Edge, by Rudy Josephs (Starfleet Academy)
and
*Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (for the third time!)
AUDIO BOOK
*Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident, by Eoin Colfer (narrated by the wonderful Nathaniel Parker)
NON-FICTION
*Hope for Animals and Their World, by Jane Goodall
and
*Uncle Eric Talks About Personal, Career, and Financial Security, by Richard J. Maybury
Phew… perhaps I shouldn't read *quite* so many all at once….
Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut. Written in the 1950's there are a few passages that are almost prophetic. An excellent read more than fifty years after its first publishing.
Currently I am reading Frank Huberts Dune.
