Donovan79 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Haven't read that one yet! Christ, just finished it early this morning, couldn't put it down after page 20 or so. Short but absolutely one of the best books I've read in a very, very long time. Link to comment

Short but absolutely one of the best books I've read in a very, very long time. Just DLed it to my Kindle - won't get to it for awhile, but I'm excited to have it lined up! Link to comment
SpottiOtti Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Oh, cool! Gaiman is one of my top four all-time favorite authors, and Anansi Boys is one of my fave books of his. I'm finishing up the final book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series. As a huge King fan, I'm not sure why it took me until now to read this - but I love it! Actually, I'm sitting here at work wearing a Dark Tower t-shirt that my boyfriend got me. I'm curious what you'll think about the ending . . . I finished that series a few years ago. I would totally sport a Dark Tower t-shirt!! Link to comment
SpottiOtti Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 I'm not reading much fiction now since school started back up. Next on my list is "The spy who came in from the cold". Anyone read it? Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Read about 80 pages of Cloud Atlas while in Barnes and Nobles yesterday. Unfortunately I promised myself I wouldn't buy another book until I finished the ones I already owned. It was stupidly hard not to buy it. It was soooooo gooooood. Link to comment
Sanesoul Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Horns by Joe Hill. Having a hard time getting really into this one. I'm at 65%, but I can't read it for very long at a time. Been reading it for a couple months and it's not a long book. Should have known after Heart-Shaped Box that I wasn't a big enough fan of his to continue, but I had to give him another shot. Lesson learned. Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Finished the Help. Better than I thought it would be. I actually cried a few times. Movie was great too (rented that a few days later). Easy to read but hard to stomach. Link to comment
figur Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I'm rereading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. Such a gorgeously written book. Story about how humans make first contact with another species on another planet. Team is led by Jesuits, but includes non-believing friends and colleagues. Thoughts on love and faith and questioning how it all works. So so good. Link to comment
Jane27 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I am reading Shantaram now, I think it is really interesting book Link to comment
Liraele Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card Hyperbole & a Half - Allie... gee, I can't remember her last name off the top of my head. Also a blog. Super cute. Link to comment

Cognitive_Canine Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card If you like Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow is a must read. Link to comment
Liraele Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 If you like Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow is a must read. It was very good. Thank you, I will add that to my (already gigantic!) list. Current read: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 It was very good. Thank you, I will add that to my (already gigantic!) list. Current read: Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman AHHHH, that book is great too. Link to comment
Liraele Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 AHHHH, that book is great too. I'm kind of half in love with Neil Gaiman's weirdness. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm kind of half in love with Neil Gaiman's weirdness. He writes fairy tales for adults. Check out "Good Omens". He co-authored it with Terry Pratchett. It has Gaiman's endearing characters and semi-science fiction/fantasy style with Pratchett's laugh out loud funny ironic twists, satire, and coincidences. It's probably in my top 5 favourite books of all time. The ending is a bit off (I can't explain it or what they were trying to go for. I felt like they just wanted to end the book). But, finishing that book made me genuinely sad that I didn't get to hang out and see what Crowley (The demon with a heart of gold main character) was doing anymore. I had to mourn the characters because there was nothing left for me to read about them. Link to comment
