What books are you reading right now?

It works for Choose Your Own Adventure! But this, just doesn't work and the chapters keep shifting to different characters. Second person with one character is bothersome enough, but having to shift between more than one personality really bugs me.

I have put the book aside and am now reading, How to Make Friends with Demons by Graham Joyce. I found it in the pile beside my bed, I forgot I'd bought it.

 

Just started Lincoln and The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao. They are nothing alike and that's nice.

 

Just went through the October Daye books by Seanan MacGuire. Supernatural/mystery books, somewhat a la mode de Jim Butcher. Not quite as good as Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden books, but nonetheless, extremely entertaining-- at least as good as Thomas Sniegoski's Remy Chandler books, and they were fun reads.

 

The Scarpetta Factor
The Herb Book
Shoot Low Boys-They're Riding Shetland Ponies
Taltos

 

I hit a run of kinda mediocre books with the last few: Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas (sad, and made me a bit teary, but also incredibly predictable); I Still Dream About You (bit of a disappointment there, as it was the same author as Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe--which, actually, I want to read again now); and Lips Unsealed: A Memoir (Belinda Carlisle's autobiography, which should have been fascinating. And it was, at first, with her memories of the 70s punk scene in LA and the formation of the Go-Go's. But then, cocaine. A shit ton of cocaine. And thus, her memories become vague and focus mostly on doing coke, getting coke, or hiding coke.)

I started Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm yesterday, but I'm only a couple chapters in.

 

Conversations with the Devil
The Spinoza Problem
Stahl's Essential Psyschopharmacology
Introduction to Neuropsychopharmacology
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition... man they changed so much shite,
I actually have to read the whole thing to find what I'm looking for. Assholes.

 

I finally decided to start reading. My friend read the hobbit to me at the beginning of the year, he couldn't believe I hadn't read it and after me pretty much refusing to read it, he decided he should read it to me. We are currently on book 3 of LOTR which is good but a bit slower than the Hobbit. I read the 50 shades trilogy on my laptop over Christmas/ new year, but hadn't really read anything since then as I still found reading difficult. Back in mid August I was on holiday and rented a few films on my phone to watch in the evenings, one of which was hunger games which I quite liked. I did a bit of googling to find out more about it and realised it was a book, so I downloaded kindle to my phone and started reading.

since then I have read

Hunger games, Catching fire and Mocking jay ( I loved these books, couldn't wait to read the next bit and often ran out of phone battery whilst trying to read all night!)
The Maze runner, The Scorch trials and The Death cure (These books had me hooked and I read two of them in a single sitting!)
Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras (not as good as the Maze runner, If I had read it first I might have enjoyed it more, I think I was getting a little bored by this type of book.)
One day (I found this book a little boring, but I wanted to read it before watching the film.)
Girl over the edge (I found this book a little bit predictable, but I found it interesting to read from a teaching perspective - that is I might recommend it to teenage girls who need to think about repercussions of bullying!)
Invisible by Lorena McCourtney (This book was ok but it wasn't as good as some of the others I have read)

I am a little bit stuck on what to read next?!

 

Thanks for that suggestion, I hadn't heard about that site. I will investigate in the morning.

 

Waging Heavy Peace - Neil Young
Just picked it up, so no opinion yet.

Not a HUGE fan of NY but ever since I found out that he was our paperboy in the then-lovely new suburb Etobicoke (now slum-like I hear, also called the GTA --Greater Toronto Area) in the early 1960's when I was an infant, I've been paying more attention to how this Canadian kid from such a completely vanilla area became Neil Young.

 

I started on the site but got sidetracked by an example of how the site worked and have spent all hours around my work consuming 'Bared to you' by Sylvia Day. Thirteen and a half hours later and I've finished it - now where's a man............

 

I'm having some trouble staying interested in Miss Sunnybrook Farm. I think I would've loved it when I was a kid, but now? Meh.


I really need to get my hands on the Looking Glass Wars.

 

Reading an excerpt from Assholes: A Theory -- Donald Trump, Cable News assholes (with Fox the gold standard), delusional assholes (Kanye West), banker assholes
--- merged: Nov 2, 2012 at 5:26 PM ---
On a lighter note, just picked up from a used book rack at the office, Everything Under the Sky - a Spanish female protagonist in the Indiana Jones mold searching for the lost treasurers of China's First Emperor.

 

Distrust That Particular Flavor by William Gibson & The Russian Dreambook of Color & Flight by Gina Ochsner. I need to have two going at any one time.

 

The Blood King by Gail Martin. Its book two in the Chronicles of the Necromancer series.
