Goodreads All Sorts discussion

Hi everybody. My name is Chris. I live on Long Island NY and I love to read!
Back in the day I used to commute daily from Brooklyn to Manhatten and then later on the LIRR. I had to constantly read, it was what kept me occupied and entertained at the same time.

I was always reading off beat book, that most nobody ever heard of, also I read the Village Voice from cover to cover.

One of my all time favorite writers was and still is John Irving. The man can write like nobody's buisness.

I have read some of the classics and in college was forced to read, James Joyce (too depressing), Hemingway.

Then I stopped working in NYC and that was when reading a lot to hardly ever.

About a year ago my hubby and I decided to get rid of cable TV. It's true, you know, TV rots the brain.

Except Downton Abby. That's when I started reading again.
I picked up Fifty Shades of Gray, and the rest is history.

Since last year I have read more books than I did ever!
If you look at my Read list you'll see my taste is very eclectic.

I love JR Ward! Her Black Dagger Brotherhood series is so good.

I would love to talk about the books.

I look foward to chatting.

Hey Chris! Great to meet a reader with eclectic tastes like me.

Welcome to your very own "eclectic" reading space Chris. You're welcome to check out my own odd shelves, which run the gamut, anytime! Happy reading!

Welcome Chris!

Hi! thanks for the welcome....nice to meet you all

Enjoy, Chris!

Welcome, Chris.

I read the first two books in the BDB series. Looking forward to the rest.
Have you read other series that are similar?

Hi Jon You must read the whole series.
I started to read the Sookie Stackhouse Novels, I think I got to #4. I am hearing that the last one has a lot of readers pissed off. Oh well.

I know there are others somebody reccommeded Christine Feehan.

Morning Chris - I haven't read anything by C.Feehan or JR.Ward (yet) but I've tried reading the first Sookie Stackhouse and I just couldn't get into it.

Hello Chris and welcome. You came to the right spot to talk books! :)

I have not tried the Black Dagger Brotherhood series yet, but I guess I need to add that to my ever-expanding TBR list. So many of my reading buddies have fallen for it.

What are you currently reading??

Oh you must read them, she weaves a great story. I also love her sense of humor.

I just finished JR Wards first novel Leaping Hearts written under her nom de plume Jessica Bird.

I am also reading Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter which I am enjoying.

I hope to finish the series this year.
I haven't tried the Sookie books yet. I already watched the show and I normally don't like to watch the show before reading the books.
I added Christine Feehan's to my TBR. Looks good.

Have you heard of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series? I only read the first book Darkfever but I really want to finish this one too.

No I have not heard of her I will check the series out. Thanks for the reccommendation.

There is also Jeaniene Frost, author of the famous Night Huntress series. The first book is this Halfway to the Grave.
I only read the first two in that one as well. Sigh. Yet another series :0
