Title: What are you reading?
Post by: tjshorty on July 16, 2014, 12:26:12 pm
I have a couple of books started.  I purchased some from the library yesterday.  I am reading one by Lynne Truss called Talk to the Hand.  It's about the utter *bleep* rudeness of the world today, or six good reasons to stay home and bolt the door.  That's off of the cover.  The book is really funny. :)  So what are your reading?

Nothing at the moment, but my favorite book to read is the giver by Louis Lowery I could read that one over and over again. I dont read to much in general though.

I'm reading Stephen King's The Bachman Books. They're 4 stories Stephen King wrote under a different name. I think he wrote them under a different name to see if they would still sell.

When two hearts meet by Janelle Mowry.  My future mother in law gave me 3 of her books.  I've read the first two so figured I'd better finish the 3rd.  Not my style reading though.  I prefer James Patterson and Robin Cooks books.

I like to read books with Mystery, romance, and a little scary. One of my favorite authors is Marry Higgins Clark because her stories usually have all that kind of stuff.  The book I am getting to read right now is I'll Walk Alone by Marry Higgins Clark.  This is her 13th book and it is spine-chilling she has published thus far its of suspense fiction, about the newest and most up to date of crimes: Identity theft.  It sounds interesting and sounds like it will keep me on my feet.

That sounds interesting. History isn't something I read much, but it is fascinating. Right now I am reading Jane Eyre. It is rapidly becoming one of my favorite books.

Reading ' Never Go Back' by Lee Chlld - the 18th (I think) in the Jack Reacher series and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.  Just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and The Poison Tree by Erin Kelley.

Gone Girl was an unusual mystery - lots of material there for a book club discussion; Poison Tree - did not enjoy as much - just couldn't identify with any of the characters.
I know Never Go Back will be a gripping one because I have read 17 others in the series to date.
If you are a mystery/thriller fan you'll love this series.  The main character is very offbeat and fascinating.
I'm always on the lookout for new authors to read.

I haven't read a book in years.  The only thing I read is the newspaper, a few sports magazines and content on the internet.

Reading books is how I got through family functions when I was a teenager.  I do like certain categories but I defiantly have to be interested in the story topic.

I am reading "Chasing Dirty Money" which is tied to a new project starting at the end of August related to anti-money laundering and financial investigation. After that I may brush up on a few excel spreadsheet books but may sneak in a book called "The Dark Fields" for (guilty) pleasure. I  have several investing books earmarked for down time waiting in my car.  My next in-the-car book is "Value Investing" by Benjamin Graham (endorsed by Warren Buffett) and I have a few books on foreign exchange trading that are waiting to replace it that I would like to finish before year end. I always try to read my kid's books before they go back to school but I have already read everyting they have slated for this semester.

I am reading a book called Katherine by Anya Seton.  I like historical fiction and non-fiction.  I also like several other different types of books.  I am sorry for those who do not read books.  I think you miss a lot in life.  I also read the Bible and many other books by Christian authors.

I haven't had time to sit and read for year, since before my kids were born.  Maybe one of these days I"ll get back into it.

I have a few books that I started and got several chapters into on each but have not been reading any of them in at least 1 1/2 months. I've been thinking about picking at least one of them back up again lately but still have not done so. Just haven't been in the mood to do much reading I guess.
