I have read all books Grisham, King, Koontz, and Grafton, except for Sue grafton's lastest book, "T". I have collected all of John Grisham (and his movies), Sue Grafton's "A" to "S."

I have all Stephen King's books. Stephen King's Storm of the Century was the first book written that played the excat same as in the movie-first of his screenplay novel. I hope one of King's book, Cell will be in a movie. I wonder if it will be as long as the movie, The Stand....The worst movie I even seen was Cujo and will not see it again, hahaha...

I have read Patricia Cornwell and Karin Slaughter and have all their books. They are hard to put down. And Kay Hoopers, Iris Johnsen, Diana Gabladon, Jude Deveraux, Julie Garwood, Nicholas Sparks, oh too many to name...Got them all...I have so many favorite authors.

Since I am out of all books and do not know what to read next since I have all of their books in my collection...I picked up Debbie Macomber's books (I picked up three of her books) and I enjoyed one of her book, Susannah's Garden. Not bad...I rather have horror or suspense....oh well...

Everytime I visit Walmart, Barnes & Nobles even any food store, I always pick up a book before heading out to the cashier asles. I took that from my mother, I followed my mother's footsteps. My mother and I love books and addict to books of any kind... She collected over 5,000 paperbacks and 10,000 hardcovers--but she had to recount because she sold her books due to selling the house to move South. I collect over 1,000 paperbacks (but planning to give some away to my daughter since she loves V.C. Andrews and Jude Deveraux) and 2,000 hardcovers or maybe 3,000...still counting...maybe mine will be added to my and her collection real soon since I am sending one of my 9 novels real soon.

I hated Cell with a deep passion. I can't tell you why I didn't trash it while reading the junk story but for some miracle I labored through it and finished the worse novel I have ever read; and to think I spend money on it too.

During mid year, I have The Stand scheduled (I have a book list in order per year) for my reading enjoyment. It's a big sucker too- many pages. But I can't wait to get on it. All say it is his best but I want to see if it tops the Dark Tower series. Those are my favorite.

I just came back from the Goodwill Store and purchased a couple of good books for a few pennies:

Three Junes by Julia Glass
The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald

currently reading:

J. Pelikan #3 The Growth of Medieval Theology
Anselm of Canterbury - Major Works
Yoder - The Royal Priesthood
Bonhoeffer - Life together & Christ the Centre

I'm hoping sometime in the next few months I might be able to do some "social reading" as well ...

This is a great thread because it deals with books you are currently reading. I expanded the scope by creating another book thread. This new corner of AD you can not only list your most recently purchased books (fiction and non-fiction) but you can also write your own reviews on the books you enjoyed most.

I am reading a book with 3 stories in one book. The title of the book is "Love From Greece" about three modern women find love is as pricelss as their Grecian roots by Melanie Karis Panagiotopoulos.

Hey AquaBlue ... just to clarify (incase your post was directed at me somehow?) - the books I listed ARE what I'm currently reading.

They aren't a reading list ( my required reading list is 27books by the end of the month) ... or recently purchased book list (which would be some 15books this past month) ...

dr benway · 02-24-2008, 07:10 PM

i m currently reading....

1) 'a brief history of time' by stephen hawking....
2) 'metamorphosis and other stories' by franz kafka....
3) 'beyond good and evil' by friedrich nietzsche....

I am reading WWE magazine, ha

I'm reading the Scarlett Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, and as soon as I'm done with that I'm reading Little Women. Both of these are common required readings in school, and I did read the Scarlett Letter back then (that was 20 years ago!) but never Little Women. It's so famous I want to see what the hype is all about

I always stop by the "bargain section" of Barnes and Noble every time I'm there because you can get great books for between $4 and $10.
