What are you reading?

[Shere_Khan]

Just finished "Rasputin's Daughter" by Robert Alexander which is a fantastic read. I also recommend "The Kitchen Boy" by the same author.
If you are at all interested in the Romanovs - I would highly recommend both. They are fiction not non-fiction, but still wonderful stories based on this time in history.

Right now I am re-reading HP and the Half Blood Prince. I had read it when it first came out, then went to the movie recently. Decided I would read it again to see what all was missed since I couldn't really remember alot of it.

I just finished Finger Lickin Fifteen (Janet Evanavich) and I'm reading Black Hills (Nora Roberts) now.

I'm finally getting around to The Chronicles of Narnia.

I'm glad this thread got revived... thanks Number6

I recently went to Australia and there's nothing like days of nothing but travel to get some solid reading done :lol: I read The Alchemist, The Time Traveler's Wife and a Sookie Stackhouse novel...obviously wasn't in the mood for anything too heavy haha.

Right now I'm reading Tess of the d'Urbervilles. (I have this weird thing where I try to read anything Masterpiece Classic on PBS covers if I haven't read it already.) The Lovely Bones is on deck since I want to read it before the film comes out.

Right now it is "The Shack" by William P. Young. Very thought provoking. Can't say I have ever read anything quite like this.

I read it a year or so ago, and liked it.

I'm three-quarters of the way through Pat Conroy's latest, "South of Broad." I LOVE it!

I just saw that book when I was at Wal-Mart the other day. It looked really funny.

I enjoyed The Alienist - read it years ago. I recently finished Atlas Shrugged and avariety of Science Fiction anthologies. Am currently reading PJ O'Rouke's interpretation of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations then will move on to a couple of books on my son's required reading lists for AP English and US History.

I am right in the middle of Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson...book two in the Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

My brother suggested the series after I got sick and tired of waiting for George R R Martin to even act like he was interested in finishing his Song of Fire and Ice series. It is pretty good so far...and I can look forward to a conclusion!!!

I remember those days! :lol: Thank God mine didn't take AP Calculus - I would NEVER have been able to keep up. :ROFLOL:

 

[yankspy]

I have been reading "Centennial" by Michener.

It's not so much keeping up (although it can make for interesting conversation) as much as reading books that I wouldn't ordinarily be interested in reading. I found that several that my daughter had to read were quite interesting. I also like to steer him towards other books that might have a valid counterpoint, so he can make his own decisions.

I completely agree.

Sounds good...I'll have to give it a try.

Good book, and GREAT classes!

AP US is an amazing course. Is he taking full year or half?
