I’m reading Norwegian Wood also by Haruki Murakami. I just finished Hunting and Gathering by some French author whose name escapes me. 

Currently reading the second book of the Hunger Games series: Catching Fire. 

Just finished:

Middlesex

 and

Virgin Suicides

- Jeffrey Eugenides 

And a little chick lit:

Bitter is the New Black

– Jen Lancaster.

Looking for Alaska – John Green. 

I’m reading George R.R. Martin – A game of thrones and Richard Dawkins – The Selfish Gene

I’ve read Norwegian Wood. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve read most of Murakami’s books.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe.

Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim. Do not read if homosexuality and/or topics about molestation and prostitution freak you out. And swearing.

I last read “Everwild” by Neal Shusterman, and the final book in that trilogy comes out in a few months

I’m currently reading “Madame Bovary” but it’s such a terribly slow and boring read. I might quit it and pick up “Love in the Time of Cholera” or “Player Piano”.

The Hunger Games series. Devoured that shiz in three days!

I just finished 1984 by George Orwell, and now I’m reading The Hunger Games.

I’m currently reading Lord of the Flies! And I’ve got a whole list waiting

Getting a Kindle for Christmas has awakened my inner book worm (that disappeared some time between high school and starting college). Now my reading list is a mile long. I just finished The Lover’s Dictionary and i’m currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Much Ado About Loving, which is a collection of essays written about lessons in love we can learn from classic literature.

@darci - 
I’m on the third book, I’ve read the first two in two days!

I just finished Dracula, by Bram Stoker and Tell-All, by Chuck Palahniuk. I’m planning on picking up The Rose Labyrinth, by Titania Hardie, next.

I go to the library a few times a week and pick up 10 books each time lol, it’s a cheap way to read lots of books, plus that way if I don’t like the book I haven’t wasted money on it

@dukeitout_daisy@xanga - I think I was one of the few in my English class who actually enjoyed reading that

last finished: “the king’s general” by daphne du maurier. so much better than i expected.

currently reading: “oliver twist” by charles dickins.

I spent my winter break catching up with the new books of some of my old friends: Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, Francesca Lia Block, Jessica Day George, and Joseph Delaney. I can’t remember the titles or  in which order I read them, but it made me very happy since those 4 are easily in my top 10 favorite authors, if not top 5.

I’m reading the last book of the Hunger Games. I want to read the whole series before the movie comes out and I love it! I hope the movie is just as awesome.

Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – J.R.R. Tolkien

random crappy romance novels

and manga…lots and lots of manga.  Its a love.

And maybe its just me, but I don’t really get the hype around the Hunger Games.  I’m reading the books because everybody around me is saying they’re a great read, but maybe its just me, but i’m not a huge fan!  I’m more excited for the clothes & fashion in the movie then in the story.

Go Down, Moses – Faulkner. With this dude reading is practice, practice, practice. 

I just finished reading Letters from the Earth by Mark Twain. 

Anything satirical, I love.

Since I graduated from college last spring I have been reading like crazy! It is so wonderful to finally have to time to read everything and anything I want to. About five minutes after moving into my new apartment in Austin, I went out to find the nearest library. I have been reading a lot of non fiction essays as of late. Although the last book I finished was The Hunger Games. I am currently reading “Moral Disorder” by Margaret Atwood. Everybody should read Atwood sometime in their life!

@RSPhotography - I was more than 75% finished with Catching Fire but I had to stop because it was too violent. Though I will watch Hunger Games so go figure lol. I may pick up Mockingjay after I watch the movie. Did you read that yet? If so what did you think about it?

I am currently reading Between by Jessica Warman. It’s about this 18 yr. old girl Liz who supposedly drowned after her bday party on her boat. There were originally six teens on the boat but when they awoke there were only 5. The book is narrated by Liz who with Alex, a classmate of hers who died a year ago due to a hit and run, try to solve her own murder. The book is engaging, nicely plotted, and it makes you wonder how did Liz really die. The author leaves clues which can also make you play a detective at times.

whaaa?? Reading is never expensive.
If you go to thrift stores and/or goodwill stores they have books there for less than a dollar. Also sometimes they sell old books at your public library.Or you can just get them off ebay or just rent books from the library.
I have about 300+ books and their are few books that I actually paid full price for. 
Anyway….the last book I read was Nathaniel Hawthorne Book of Short Stories but that was for class. For leasiure it was The Bell Jar i think
Next I either want to finish Middlesex, Eleven Minutes, The Art of Happiness or either the Dome

just finished the hunger games trilogy. loved it!!! 

Just finished reading “The Devil’s Concubine” by Ángeles Goyanes. Let me tell you that this book caught my attention since the first page. It’s rare for books to have such as strong reaction on me like that. Worth it, completely worth it! <33

Currently reading Murder of a Medici Princess by Caroline Murphy but I finished Mistress of the Monarchy by Alison Weir.

@deemure@xanga - I love The Bell Jar

I just finished Ellen DeGeneres’ Seriously…I’m Kidding.

Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children’s Crusade: A Duty-Dance with Death  — Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

That was some time ago. Summer. I don’t seem to have the mental ability to read a book for pleasure while also needing to read textbook so for university.

The last book that I read was The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and I absolutely loved it. I’ve been too busy since I finished it to start reading anything else, but within the next few days my schedule is going to lighten up and I’ll be starting It’s Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini.

Just finished re-reading the entire Harry Potter series.  I think I’ll read Patty Smith’s “Just Kids” next. 

I love that the link took me to the harry potter wikipedia.  I linked to the HP wiki in my most recent blog.  huzzah.

Currently I’m re-reading “In The Belly Of The Beast” by Jack Henry Abbott I just got a book from the library also but the name escapes me

11.22.63 by Stephen King

Not normally something I’d read, but it was a gift and I ended up loving the book.

The Serpent and the Rainbow by Wade Davis

I last read Ender’s Game. My fave!

I just finished East Lynne and I’m currently reading Lady Audley’s Secret, Damned, and I’m about to start The Fault in Our Stars.

The last book I read was Pizza, Pigs and Poetry by Jack Prelutsky. I’m currently reading Incident At Loring Groves by Sonia Levitin.

@Trueinnerbeauty - I go to the library a lot too. I don’t always have the money to buy the books I want to read so I borrow them from the library. It definitely helps save money and if I don’t like one of the books I borrow, at least that way I didn’t spend money buying it.

@cryholy@xanga - I want to read that! How is it?

I just finished John Green’s “The Fault In Our Stars” and I highly recommend it.  Once I started it I couldn’t put it down.  But thats true of all his books.

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. 

@christinalennon - Margaret Atwood is a brilliant writer. What are your favorites? Mine are The Handmaid’s Tale and The Blind Assassin. And Oryx and Crake. And The Year of the Flood…

Okay, I like everything I’ve read by her, but I stick with her fiction.

OP: I’m re-reading The Help and Pride and Prejudice right now.

Just finished American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.  I’ve started the memoir Dharma Punx, except I left it at my bf’s while I came home for a week, so I’ll probably read Glamorama by Bret Easton Ellis while I’m home…

@WaitingToShrug@xanga - I love the Handmaid’s Tale and Alias Grace. Atwood is seriously my favorite writer of this century- and I am VERY picky in my literature selections..yaknow since I paid (still paying) nearly $90,000 for my English degree! Ha! 

@Shining_Garnet@xanga - Good! Read it!

Love the one you’re with by Emily Griffin 

Eat right for your type by Dr. D’Adame

i finished A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.. i’m now reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
