What Book Are You Reading?

[cassiesmom]

What genre(s) do you like most?

Let's see ... the authors of the last three books I really enjoyed were Erik Larson (In the Garden of Beasts), John Grisham (re-read The Rainmaker), and Malcolm Gladwell (Blink). I've never read Patricia Cornwell's books though I know she is very popular. I'm not into romance novels or sci-fi. If it's fiction I'd like a happy ending. I'll try to stop at the library soon.

Quickly 3 more that I enjoyed were, The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom. Warrior Princess, Kristin Beck.

And if you have a very strong constitution, God Must be Sleeping, Gregg Tyler Milligan.

Just must add The Shell Seekers, Rosamunde Pilcher, and I Know This Much Is True, Wally Lamb.

I swear I shall quit after this, The Prince of Tides, by Pat Conroy and The House of the Spirits, by Isabel Allende are such beautiful novels.

I read "The Shell Seekers" - and I watch the PBS series "Doc Martin" which takes place in Cornwall. Randi, I've read a couple of Maeve Binchy's books and really liked them! I read "The Hiding Place" in high school.

When I went to the bookstore to pick up this quality measurement book, they had a table with a sign: Books Everyone Should Read. There were classics on it - The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, Animal Farm, and the diary of Anne Frank. There were also a couple I have not read - "Night" by Elie Wiesel and Khaled Hossaini's (sp?) "One Thousand Splendid Suns"- I think that's the title. My sister-in-law teaches middle school language arts and "Night" is one of the books she has taught. I re-read The Great Gatsby when the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio came out. Didn't get it in high school, didn't get it in college and I still don't completely get it. Will try to get to the library soon. During summer (through September) the library is open Sundays from 11 AM until 3:30 PM- wish they would do it all year round!

I am back and forth reading "Bleating Hearts: The Hidden World of Animal Suffering" and also "A Street Cat Named Bob". When Bleating Hearts brings me to tears I read some of Bob to cheer me up.

Another Insane Devotion by Peter Trachtenberg - fiction, well written and has a kitty pivotal character!

Some of the best books I've read in the last few years are Stieg Larsson's three books - check them out! I also liked Maeve Binchy's "Italian Teacher" (not sure the title is quite correct)
