Ponine: I read the first one because it was called Morrigan's Cross (or something like that). Couldn't resist!
Overall I thought her style a little cheesy and supermarket-ready, but it WAS entertaining, to be fair. I think if she'd taken the sex out of it, it would have been even better as a normal work of fiction. |

Currently slowly working my way through the last HP. Since I don't get much time to read, I do a chapter or less some nights.
Susan is a voracious reader and is often working on more than one book at a time. She will listen to a book on the iPod while she gets ready for bed, and then reads a different one once she gets there. She keeps another in her purse to read if she is out and has a few minutes. Quote:

My last read was 'The Kite Runner'. I've purchased 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and can't wait to get started on it.
Next up, as I have to read ATSS I will be reading 'Aria'. 'The Kite Runner' was an awesome read, very well written. I read it like it was a decadant piece of chocolate cake. Since ATSS is by the same author, I expect nothing less!! Aria is in a similar setting and is recommended if you've enjoyed TKR/ATSS. |
I can well believe the statistic, though it makes me sad. I read a lot. Lately it's been non-fiction.
"Guns, Germs, and Steel" - why Europe stomped the rest of the world in spite of the others' apparent head start. "The sacred prostitute" - bringing back the physical to the sacred. Also sacred femininity. Small book, but kind of heavy in some places. Fiction: "The Name of the Rose" Umberto Eco. One I just finished: "The Dark Side of the Light Chasers"- talking about pagan groups. I'll have to look and see what else I have. My pleasure reading is somewhat curtailed during school; I'm reading a lot for that. |
I'm doing more reading lately but I'm mostly keeping to light stuff. Earlier this summer I read Nature Girl by Carl Hiaasen and The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde.
Now I'm on another Terry Pratchett binge and having a great time with his books. I'm reading Witches Abroad and ran across a swipe at The Lord of the Rings last night that made me laugh so much I nearly fell out of bed. In the stack by my bed I have The Companions by Sheri S. Tepper and two books that Quality Paperback Book Club talked me into: The Dead Fathers Club by Matt Haig and Finn by Jon Clinch. |

The Thursday Next series is on my list, I've had 4 friends recommend Fforde to me, and I can't believe I've missed them! |
