Challenge: 50 Books discussion

Here is my current list:


1# The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro

2# The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett (this one was on the to-read list for some time 2 years)

3# The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

4# The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Could not stop reading this one, did read this one in one day, excellent book.

Now reading #5 The Thirteenth Tale by Setterfield, Diane, but cant have the amount of time necessary to keep up the reading. Great story telling.

I also loved the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. You should definitely read the next one - The Girl who Played with Fire. So sad that there will only be 3 books in this series.

Just wondering what you thought of The Strain, as I've just put it on my To-Read shelf (literally, put it on the shelf last night). I also have The Hunger Games on the shelf, and I've been wanting to read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (I think I'm #85 in the library's queue). I'll have to keep checking out your list! I think we have similar tastes in books.

We are actually reading and discussing this book right now in the You'll Love This One group here on Goodreads. I just began it the other day and am only about to pg. 125 - no spoilers please :0)

That one (The Girl who Played with Fire) is at my bed side to read next. Yes, it's sad, a great writer was lost. Did read some time ago that a 4th book was almost done at the time of deaf, missing the middle part, and probably is wife/girlfriend/lover would be finishing the book. But is not the same thing, I think the parents didn't approve that.

Well I did like The Strain, it's a very good book, not the lovely vampire kind of book. The Hunger Games is a must read, I would advise to read this one fist. Probably we have the same tastes, I love crime and mystery with a little bit of adventure :).

6# Catching Fire (Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne

7# The Killing Circle: A Novel by Pyper, Andrew

8# Where the Wild Things Are by Sendak, Maurice (this one was for my kids, that I read every single night)

9# The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Strauss, Neil

10# The Book Thief by Markus Zusak (great great book, everyone should read this one)

11# The Turnaround by Pelecanos, George P.

12# The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka

13# La Princesa Durmiente Va a La Escuela by Ballester, Gonzalo Torrente

Did read the Portuguese version (original is Spanish) of this book, really don't know if there is a English version of it, but if there is I recommend the reading. Shows what the society is capable of doing.

14# Written in Bone by Simon Beckett (great book)

15# As Incríveis Aventuras de Dog Mendonça e PizzaBoy by Melo, Filipe (excellent comic book)

16# Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

17# Post Office by Charles Bukowski a 5* reading

18# Hostage by Charles Bukowski

19# The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2)
by Stieg Larsson

20# Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski

21# The Smashing Book (technical book)

Damn This month was hard, didn't read much.
