Okay, so I love to read. I'm always looking for new books. What is everyone reading?
I'm currently reading The Sixth Wife: A Novel by Suzannah Dunn. It's a fictionalization of the life of Katherine Parr after the death of Henry VIII and her marriage to Thomas Seymour. It's pretty interesting although a very "light" read.

I'm reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley for my college class and The Road by Cormac McCarthy for myself.
I'm liking both of them a lot.

I have just started Escape by Carolyn Jessop. It's about a woman who was raised in a polygamist sect and managed to flee the group with her 8 children.

I just finished reading The Last Days of Krypton by Kevin Anderson. It was a quick fun read that gave one interpretation of the origin of Superman's origin. If you're looking for some geeky literary fast food then I'd recommend this title. If you're looking for something a bit more thought provoking, then I totally recommend The Fifth Child by Doris Lessing. This is a fascinating little book about family.

I'm reading The Outcasts by L.S. Matthews. It's taking me awhile, since I don't get much free-time reading done during the school year, but so far it's pretty good. I almost exclusively read YA fiction, but after I finish The Outcasts I'm going to read Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett, which I'm really looking forward to.  |

I'm reading this thread. Jk. I'm supposed to be reading geography for school, but, well, ah never mind. For fun though, I'm reading Jurassic Park by Michael Chichton. I'm reading it for the millionth time. I love that book. (Love the movie too.  ) |

After you are done with The Road, pick up No Country for Old Men. One of the greatest books I have ever read, and believe me, I've read a lot of books ;D I'm just about finished up with the greatest series ever: The Dark Tower. Even though I know how it ends (this is my third read through), I can't help but tear up when Jake, Eddie, and Oy all die, and when Roland reaches the tower only to find he is cursed to forever journey to the Tower. |

I finished it. It was really sad. Never thought I'd like a Bachman book but this one was fantastic.
