Title: Have you read any really good books lately?
Post by: braggin on December 01, 2019, 07:59:02 am
Have you read any good books lately? I mean the kind of book you just can't put down. It draws you in to the point that you don't want to eat or sleep until you finished. I just read that kind of a book. It was called "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" and it even had a surprise ending to it. It was very enjoyable.

I haven't read any new good books lately, but I've got my treasure trove of books that I've read over and over again! I love Wally Lamb's books "I Know This Much is True" and "She's Come Undone."  I also love "A Fine Balance," which is a book set in India in the political turmoil of the 1970s. I also love anything by Bernard Malamud. I am interested in the book you just finished, though, "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine."  The title itself hooked me on that one, LOL!  :peace:

Sadly no :( I'm not the best at sitting down and actually getting absorbed in a book. Plus, it's rare for me to find a book that I truly love.

I have just finished reading a series written by Robert Galbraith, which is a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling. It is a murder mystery series set in London. The series was really awesome.

The last book I read that I could not put down was The Martian. So good. It's been a while though.

I read all the time, but it's a rare find to have a book that you don't want to stop reading.  :in-love:

No because of my eye sight but I will tell you once my cataract surgeries are fully healed and I have my final prescription I want to go back to reading as I have been an avid reader all my life except for the last few years. My mom said if you saw me going into the restroom with a book everyone else in the house was in trouble if they needed to go in there.

I love everything that Vince Flynn writes.  His main character-Mitch Rapp is such a bad *bleep*.

I finished a good auto  biography about a month or so ago.  I have a couple other books started.  Just don't have the time to read them right now.

I have read a couple lately but sadly can't recall the names. I like to look at Goodwill for a good book.

I read in spurts. I'll read a ton of books, then suddenly I'll quit reading completely for a while. Right now I'm in a non-reading spurt. I don't think I've read a book all year. However, I happened to win a book called Saint X from a contest last week. I have no idea what it's about, but it's sitting on my coffee table, taunting me. I may start it tomorrow...

I read good books or rather some of the book all the time.  I don't always get to read for as long as I want.  Something else  to do around the house.

I'm rereading A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. It's weird in that I find it so engrossing even though nothing in particular happens in it. I just enjoy the way it's written.

No, nothing recently just resting and trying to get healthy.  I haven't even been watching tv.

I just finished reading Where The Crawdads Sing, it's a murder mystery and I found it a good read.
