I agree about The Bluest Eye,did not think I would like it but was a great read and had some very interesting discussions about the subject of the book.

Congrats! I'm reading a well-worn library book...it's really good, slow but evocative. Reminds me of Cold Mountain in style. I'll look for your review.

They do have A Street Cat named Bob the US I've been hoping to read it. I don't know if they have it in the UK but if your a cat-lover check out Homer's Odyssey and Love Saves the Day both by Gwen Cooper and Dewey by Vicki Myron and Making Rounds with Oscar by David Dosa and the chicken soup for the cat lover's soul. All are really good cat books.

message 918: by Claire (new)

Claire | 27 comments I've been reading the Talented series and really liking it. I mean, it's a cool series... A little slow, but the first one's free on Amazon. I would recommend it. Superheros+ Strong heroine+ Adorable love interest= One Freakin' Awesome Book.

Okay, first off, I read roughly 3/4 of the Night Circus... and I hated it. No offense to the book, but it's plot was sorely lacking in my opinion. It took me three weeks to get 3/4 of the way through the book, which was pathetic for me; I usually read at least a book every week. It was painful. I can understand how some people would like it. There was really good imagery; I just felt that the plot was sacrificed for the scenery. Just to throw that out there...
Also, The Knife of Never Letting Go has a weird writing if you were unaware...
Oh, and 1984 has a horrid ending...

Negative things aside, I would get The Scorch Trials because it seems like a cool book and every time I see it, it calls to me ("Read me... Read me..."), and Legend because I liked the book, and it's the only one left that I've read that I didn't trash in that first part.

That said, Paper Towns has a cool cover with the tack and everything, and Ready Player One is a cool title, though I'd never heard of either previously.

Sorry, if you didn't want that much of an opinion, but I'm naturally very opinionated, and I don't get a whole lot of chances to share my opinions, so.... Happy You-asked-a-question Day! You get my opinion!

message 929: by Shane (new)

Shane Ellis (TechnologyHistory) | 2 comments I Am Currently reading The Hour of Peril The Secret Plot to Murder Lincoln Before the Civil War by Daniel Stashower so far it has been a absolutely delightful non fiction book. most of the books i absorb are non fiction. topics such as computers, history, Science, writing, business, as well as Technology. although lately i have become fatigued with reading the same things over and over again. so if anyone knows of an exemplary fiction novel on Technology or business or history i would most certainly welcome that recommendation =]Thanks

I read this when I was a young teenager and loved it. Loved the cutaways in the middle of the book that were exactly like my thoughts! Hope you enjoy it.

Nicole West Moore (dancingphalange) | 4 comments Right now I'm almost finished with Four to Score, by Janet Evanovich. I love the Stephanie Plum series cause it's so quirky and hilarious! She's no James Bond but she's certainly entertaining!

Then go for Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles- well keep u busy for a long while.


message 947: by Cousette (new)

Cousette Thakurdin | 4 comments A lot of the books mentioned here seems to flow along the same lines. Just to mix it up i would suggest reading Sharpe's series by Bernard Cornwell from front to back- These books give a wonderful view point to history. And if you are getting too tired with the serious stuff just throw some Rick Riordan in there.


message 948: by Megan (new)

Megan | 3 comments I just finished a book on the weekend its called Tainted Love by Erin Cawood. I highly recommend it. I thought it was well written, it was a very powerful book, and it deals with issues that alot of women have to deal with in their lives, domestic abuse.


message 949: by Casey (new)

Casey (caseyxxoo) I recommend The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. One word to describe this book... AMAZING!! Go pick it up and read it!!!
