Love to read, I'm just behind trying to catch up reading books. I just finished reading Bittersweet by Danielle Steele
Very great writer..
 
<----------------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 :)
 
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.

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.
 
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.
 
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!

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

:)
 
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!

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".

:lol:
