I finished Glorious Appearing last night. Was finally able to get a chance to 'get into it' and finish it!

the middle dragged for me a bit and was hard to get through, but the ending was nice for me

 

[Lobo]

The novelization of the animated and Marley and Me.

 

[Sawyer]

The last book I finished? The Stand by Stephen King.

The last book I read? Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I'm about 3/4 of the way done.

The last book I finished was The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russel. It was incredibly moving and presented a lot of interesting outlooks on God and the way people view God. It wasn't a religious book by any means, but the main character was a Priest. I very much liked it, even that it took me awhile to get into. I finished that in April...I really need to pick up another book soon.

I recently finished The Six Wives of Henry VIII by Alison Weir. Pretty nerdy of me, but it was a good book and I was in that mood since The Tudors came to an end.

Then, like everyone else at the moment, I read Watchmen.

Tribulation Force #2 of Left Behind Series

how did you like it? it's nice to someone else who ha delved into the series

 

[Eggyman]

Just finished reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

It was the inspiration behind Blade Runner, although there isn't that much of it left in-film. I lol'd because I thought the title was just a nice lil attention grabber that hinted at the story - concerning androids - but sure enough, there's an electric sheep in there, quite relevent to the story to some degree.

It's nice and deep, delving into human psyche. There's some very interesting ideas in it. I wouldn't say I liked it as much as the the dude who recommended it to me, but I'm certainly glad I read it.

As for the writing style, it was pretty good. My only complaint, however, was some of the dialogue - I let a lot of it slide though due to the setting and such. Sometimes the dialogue was crisp and fluent, and then sometimes it would sound like someone writing rather than speaking, the characters still sounding like the narrator is doing it for them.

All in all, a good read.

Next up, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.

I like them enough to re-read them

 

[Ring Deacon]

I just finished Eclipse, and I am starting Breaking Dawn. I actually like the Twilight saga so far. But then i have always been a sucker for vampire stories. I may have to pick up the True Blood books next.

 

[Mr.Webs]

The third book of The Dresden Files....Grave Peril, by James Butcher. About a down on his luck wizard in modern day Chicago. To anyone who likes science fiction/fantasy with a touch of reality thrown in, pick this right up. You'll love it...I know I do.

 

[Watson]

I'm reading Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackery. It's great, very modern and satirical given the time it was written. But it's a doozy of a read (600+ pages and teeny, tiny little print) so I'm breaking it up by finally giving in and reading Twilight.

 

[Nightwing 52]

The Winds of War by Herman Wouk.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Your Heart Belongs to Me.
