<----------------a HUGE book lover!!!!!

Right now, am finishing up this true-story book on a family surviving Japanese occupation in Philippines during WWII while General McArthur battles to get Manila free. Truly fascinating and lyrical story. I didnt realize that Philippines used to be a Spanish colony for over 300 years before Americans took it away from Spain. The country was named after King Philip of Spain.

Im heading to the bookstore tonight to get more books

sablescort · 06-24-2005, 01:00 PM

right now I'm re-reading Harry Turtledove's "World War" series. I'm on Part Two of the series.

I got so many books stashed everywhere in my bedroom that its so hard to keep track of 'em! Here's a part of my collection but y'all will notice they are all paperbacks as I perfer them over hardbound books.

LM60CT · 06-24-2005, 01:21 PM

I am currently reading "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. Deeeeeeep. Spiritual, inspirational, motivating.
My next book will be "The Search for Major Plagge, The Nazi Who Saved Jews" by Dr. Michael Good who is from my state of CT. Went to the book signing event and had the copy autographed.

theMXM · 06-24-2005, 04:56 PM

i like to read scuba-related books. I've read Shadow Divers and The Last Dive. I just ordered a bunch of instructional books for self-learning.

Audiofuzzy · 06-24-2005, 05:03 PM

OMG what a vast variety of interests!

I only heard of Danielle Steel she's good but I preffer diferent kind of books - more like thrillers, drama, horrors, or "everyday life".

I too have too many books that I can keep up reading but I LOVE to buy books!! and I buy faster than I can read.

The last book I've read was Marquez "Hundred Years of Solitude".
It's so called magical realism, because it feel so real and yet it really is not, and this was very good book but a bit hard to keep up - to me.
But very very lyrical and spiritual. I liked it.

Now, I am reading very pleasant series about detective lady in Africa - Mma Ramotswe- very very warm, pleasant books!

this book is for everyone's tastes!

I am a huge fan of Mma Ramotswe..have all of her books!!! Hilarious yet realistic!

I liked Hundred Years of Solitude too ..even though it was too lyrical for my liking...but very spiritual too.

Oceanbreeze · 06-24-2005, 06:47 PM

I just finished going on a reading binge. In recent weeks, I've read books by Stuart Woods, Michael Connelly and John Sanford. I also finished reading a manuscript that a friend of mine is writing.

I'm alittle cranky, because I'm out of reading material!

This will be remedied soon enough, though. I'm waiting for my copy of the new Harry Potter book to hit my door!

Audiofuzzy · 06-24-2005, 08:57 PM

John Sanford?? Is he from "the Prey" series? I think I read his first book, liked it.
If you like psychological thrillers you should definitely read Caleb Carr The Alienist.
Superb!! and The Angel of Darkness - similar, yet different- superb too!

I have more books than I have time to count and I'm still buying more...someday I'll catch up on my reading. Taking away my library would be the same as taking away Signs from the Deaf - not anytime soon.

Meg, this book sounds interesting. What's the title?

I'm reading Holy Blood, Holy Grail.

I just finished reading most of Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and still awaiting on the rest of the shipment. You also could say I am still reading Sandman!

This is the first of the 12-14 books in this Sandman series.

Fly Free · 06-25-2005, 10:02 AM

Sanford...Yep! That's the one! I've read all the Prey books, and liked most of them. I just finished reading the newest Prey book " Broken Prey", and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'll look into "Alienist". Thanks for the tip! I'm always looking for new "blood".

Roadrunner · 06-25-2005, 02:42 PM

I earned the nickname 'Bookworm' when I was in the elementary school. I am into mysteries/suspense. I just start looking for more of Robin Cook's books. I have way too many books as I tend to hit library used book sales. I gotta to finish read them all as I would need to get rid of maybe half of the books when I get ready to move out of state.
Agatha Christie, Anne Perry, Tony Hillerman, Michael Crichton, Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Clive Cussler, and Elizabeth Peters are my usual 'friends'.

Right now I am borrow and read my friend s book

"Nickel and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich

Soonersseth · 08-10-2007, 01:18 PM

I read "Icebound" by Dean Koonts and "The man from mars" by Robert Heinlein"

restless_heart · 08-16-2007, 12:45 AM

I am so addict to books. I have read and collect them all: Stephen King, Dean Koontz, even V.C Andrews as well... Patricia Cornwell, Bentley Little, Jude Deveraux, Julie Gardwood, Sandra Brown (Both romantic and mystery), Karin Slaughter, Iris Johnsen, and many more...ohhhh, I have so many to name...I also collect history books and any books about writing of any kind.

I finally collect all Nicholas Sparks, even his memoir since I am out of books to collect and read

Still waiting for their latest novel to come out which it was always 'next year.' I just built a library a few years ago which I worship. I even buy so many books even though I didn't read them all yet, just 'cause I like saving it for my winter's blues...Best time to read when you have a writer's block. You just never know you will get strand in a winterstorm. You don't need TV or internet. Books are great to read to keep your imagation going. And to have hot chocolate with Iris creme in hand...

I am currently reading Nicholas Sparks' Guardian and will read his True Believer next. Now what next? Who knows...mmmm maybe Karin Slaughter's Beyond Reach and Cody McFadyen's The Face of Death (He is a new writer is very good). I just ordered those two books just recently through a book club. I never get enough of them, argh!!!! I must have chunk of cash with me every time I visit Barnes and Nobles. I love the feel of the book in my hand and keep my nose buried in a book away from the world....

Barbaro · 08-16-2007, 01:38 AM

I usually read art history and political books. I currently read Copperheads: The Rise and Fall of Lincoln's Opponents in the North, Black Majority, 33 questions about American History you're not supposed to ask, and A Different Mirror.
