I just started a literary fiction book that seems to be pretty good so far:

I'm really hoping to wrap up Showdown tonight, and be satisfied with the end result..
I'm currently reading - TOO MUCH! LOL

Today it looks like it's going to be:

Just finished A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe. I plan on finishing World War Z, and starting A Conspiracy of Paper tomorrow.
Ha! This should take care of me for the rest of the year. I have EIGHT books on my currently reading list. LOL

OMG! Forgot about those. Sorry Chuck, dang it! I can abandon something and get on the Harry Potter's if you want.
Cindy wrote: "OMG! Forgot about those. Sorry Chuck, dang it! I can abandon something and get on the Harry Potter's if you want."That's quite alright. I really, really, really need to get back to INFINITE JEST, ULYSSES and GRAVITY'S RAINBOW this month. Thanks very much, though.
I'm reading
. Yeah. Because I know its Rowling. (Btw, love Harry Potter!) Its okay so far but a little boring. I admit I don't read many mysteries but I miss the old days when detectives had to use good old fashioned foot work.

No seriously Chuck, I have totally lost interest in World War Z and I'm almost done with Killer Rumors. Just let me know. Once again, I do sincerely apologize. If you want to wait a while that is fine also.

Yeah, I would like to wait a while, if that's all right with you. But if you want to go ahead, I completely understand. :)

OK Chuck. Promise not to forget about this read. We will get to it. I loved the series so far. Just let me know when you get ready to start it.

I just finished
. Really liked it--very intense, thought-provoking read. There were some instances towards the end that were somewhat far-fetched, but it did not affect my enjoyment of the novel. In any case, now I've started
. Received an advance copy.
I'm reading
. I'm halfway through the book and it's very good!!
Reading
and going to start
later today.
and going to start

Right now I'm reading The Great Gatsby. I hope I will like it as much as I hope to
Thinking about reading Red by Jack Ketchum. Has anyone read that yet?
I started House of Leaves
last night. Very interesting book!

I'll probably finish I Am the Messenger this evening. I'm really liking it and i enjoy the author's style of writing. It's my first novel of his and I have The Book Thief on my list as well.

I'm on the second cd. So far so good!

Highly recommend it. I wish I hadn't watched the movie years ago though. Good movie but I wish I was reading it blind.

Alright, I wasn't going to say it, but I'm in a smart aleck mood this morning!
Simply go to the drugstore and buy a sleep mask! I'm not sure how you're actually going to be able to see the story that way, but perhaps you could put the book under your pillow and go for osmosis!
I know, I know - shut up and go back to my corner
Just finished

by Monday to start
as well as reading
. Just bought

Chuck, I just read it too. I like the different writing style but, like I said in my review, I didn't there was much of a story. It was pretty choppy but I guess that's to be expected from Twitter.

Reading Swan Song in e-book format, and selected Flesh by Laymon for my paperback read.
I'm reading
today. Out of my six GR Buddies that have read it six have given it 5 stars. And I all ways see it on the "best of" lists.
Started
today. I always have to have a paperback read going along with my ebook read. Can't have any devices on at work, so my trusty "real" books come in handy when we have downtime.

I don't know if that last post came out like it was intended...
Adam wrote: "I don't know if that last post came out like it was intended..."Yeah, little confusing but I get it :)
Here's my current list: Swan Song, Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three, And On The Sixth Day, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, A History of the World in 6 Glasses, A Conspiracy of Paper, and Roadrage. Liking all of them except World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.
yeah, Michelle. I'm half brain dead today. Glad you were able to glean meaning from my garbled post.
Chuck wrote: "I'm reading today. Out of my six GR Buddies that have read it six have given it 5 stars. And I all ways see it on the "best of" lists."I have that book. I knew it was highly rated but was hesitant to start. I saw so many copies on used bookstore shelves. I'm glad to hear somebody else heard good things. The lady that was arranging books on the shelves at the bookstore where I purchased it said it was a good one.
Currently 648 pages into A Storm of Swords, and 108 into Saint.
I want to read that one but I think it's #3 in the series. I have to pick up the other 2 first.
