What are you reading?
Jul 20, 2009 3:53 AM GMT
I don't know about you, but I'm a voracious reader. I'm currently addicted to JD Robb's "In Death" series.There are 35+ books in the series and I'm nearly done. They're really fun futurist, detective books - if you're into that sort of thing.

But I'm going on vacation at the end of August, and need ideas. I love fiction, non-fiction, biographies. So what are you reading?

You should get in touch with GuerillaSodomite. I think you two will hit it off when it comes to reading about futuristic fiction.

Great book!...I admire her so much and because of the combination of her
talent,personality and sence of humour...anyway...some people may laugh at her and call her crazy,but I really don't think she cares and I absolutely love that kind of attitude!...she's cool!

I just finished reading this funny and informative book titled " Why You Shouldn't Eat Your Boogers & Other Useless or Gross Information about your Body" by Francesca Gould.

Now I'm starting "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Jane Austen and Seth Smith. Lizzie fighting zombies is great entertainment.

Now that sounds like a classical romance I can get on board with...

The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Never read it before, and I needed some new reading material, so I picked it up. So far so good.

Really great books so far.

I just finished reading James Frey's "Bright Shiny Morning." It's the best book I've read in at least 5 years.

I've also been reading the graphic novel series "Y: The Last Man." I just finished volume 6.

I just finished the latest in James Rollins' Sigma Series, "The Doomsday Key." It was fun. I'll start re-reading C.J. Cherryh's "Downbelow Station" tomorrow.

The World Without Us....by Alan Weisman.

This book answers the question of what happens to planet earth after humans disappear, very interesting mix of ecology/science-fiction
