What are ya'll reading

[jake]

I was just wondering if anyone had read any good books lately.

I just finished The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. It was a good read if anyone is interested.

Now I am waiting on Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King to be released. It's due out the first of November.

If you have read something you think is good let me know!

:wave:

That's good . It has been so long since I read it I really don't remember a lot other than it being kind of a coming of age for Holden Caufield. I always thought the most interesting thing about the book was that it was so popular at one time that its author, JD Salinger became a recluse. I always thought that was kinda strange.

A Little book called..."Holes"

I've read it like five times, and I can't get enough. It really is a brilliant piece of youth fiction (the movie was fantastic too).

For school...

I have to read "Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption" by Stephen King

 

[Irrawaddy Erik]

Just finished reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown and before I read The Da Vinci Code

 

[Erika]

Jane Eyre

 

[monorail256]

For school, I have to read 'The Pearl' by John Steinbeck...

...normally I'm not a very big reader, but lately have started to become addicted to the Star Wars 'expanded universe' books... While sometimes its hard to understand because you are not familiar with some new characters... they're pretty good.

It actually doesn't matter what order you read them in b/c it just is another book with the same main character.
