Reading Books For Pleasure

[ShyVixen]

I finished The Shack by William P Young. I'd love to talk about it with someone, particularly someone not religious who has read it.

I just picked that up from the library! I intended to take it with my on vacation next week so I'll let you know what I think when I get home. Oh and I'm not religious.

Re: 21st Century Courtesan - I found it completely frustrating in parts. But it was an interesting read.

I wanted to make babies with Heinlein damn it!

I LOVED most of his books!

The Door Into Summer
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
and
I Will Fear No Evil

Are my favorites from him, the irascible bastard! I've written so may reports on him and his books! Group sex, incest, sex as both a man and a woman, women in charge of society, men and women both in charge, Lord knows I love that stuff!

Fury

The 6th Column. Such a good book

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman was really fun!

This week was world mythology, and for some reason I have been really into pastry cook books go figure.

Sounds cool and yummy to me!

I just finished Borderline by Nevada Barr. It was very good. I am now about to star the new Dresden Files book.

I just finished "Dead to the World" by Charlene Harris, I just started the series two weeks ago and just finished the 4th book tonight. Very funny read! Plus Vampires yummy and Weres Extra Yummy..lol

Help I'm unable to pull myself away from Sookie! I'm finished with book 7 and having withdrawals. I Think I've melted my brain, must have more mental crack...
How has everyone else's reading week been?

Her new book comes out in May, so you have very little time before Sookie returns!

I LOVED it too. The TV is horrifyingly fascinating (Like a car wreck), but the books are far more what I'm into.

I'm going to be starting A Perfect Nightmare by John Saul.
Never read any of his before, but I was bored and the cover looked interesting, XD

I believe he writes scary stuff. Let us know what you think.

 

[Alyssa1]

Hm, scary is good. I'll make sure to let you know.

Today I finished both, Turn Coat by Jim Butcher 5/5 and
The Traveler by Daren Simkin 5/5. GREAT stuff!

 

[Abraxas Winterlight]

LOVED Turn Coat!!!

 

[TikkaT3]

I pick up my book . . .I see the book mark well into the last third of the pages and feel sad.

I don't want this book to end. I rarely want any book into which I immerse myself to end. That is why I tend to prefer series of books.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Yes. I have three or four series that i have read over and over and over. I don't know why I even bother anymore as I know them as well as the author.

 

[FurryFury]

LOVED Turn Coat!!!

My only quibble is that he seemed quite dismissive and negative toward BDSM.

 

[FurryFury]

Yes. I have three or four series that i have read over and over and over. I don't know why I even bother anymore as I know them as well as the author.

I don't usually read things over and over. There are too many books in the world and I have too little time, KWIM?

Very rarely, when I'm sharing a beloved book with someone, I will re-read it.

 

[Nymphomaniacal]

Ive read a few series a few times. But that was mainly because I had to like, wait a year for a new book so I was refreshing. And I loved them alot

 

[FurryFury]

Every Demon Has His Day by Cara Lockwood (2/5) was not my flavor. It was to surface and romancy for my tastes. I'm sure some would love it though.

 

[ShyVixen]

I finished The Shack. There were times where I thought hmmm, interesting theory and times where I was so pissed off. Would love to get some discussion on this.

The title sounds interesting.
