That is putting it one way. I'm on the 3rd book and already a 1/4 of the way through since I started it late last night.
I read all 3 in 36 hours :shifty:
I read book 1 in a day
book 2 took me 2 days just because of my little men and baseball...
and book 3...well....I see it being done tonight with some breaks in between. :oops:
I just finished these as well - in about 2 days. Ok, finished with the fluff now onto 1776!
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
I just started 50 Shades Darker - should be done in about 2-3 days.... :P
That's a good one.
I'm in the middle of 50 Shades Freed
Finished the 2nd book in a 24hr period, just started Freed...not sure I can finish it as fast. The work week might get in the way of reading, and I can't exactly just have it lying around :oops: ...I work with teenagers
Stephen King's It. Just found out they will be doing a re-make so I decided to re-read the book. Haven't read it since the summer of 96. Scared the shit out of me then and I was 14. I'm 30 now and I am still getting chills down my spine reading some parts.

Just started this....I hope it is good. To jump off the non-fiction, book a week (at least) wagon and onto the monster sized fantasy book is a commitment. It came very highly recommended so I will give it a go!
Ooh, I've heard that is really good. Let me know how you like it.
im only 110 pp in but i love it already(as i knew i would). i am a massive fan of this period of time... or suggested period of time. i love the honour, the treachery. i love the human frailty, the love of mothers, the love of sons for their familys honour and the sense of balance. i love the feeling i sense for certain characters.. jon snow, bran stark, aryan stark, cersei lannister and her brother jaime. and most of all the sense i get from tyrian lannister and that perhaps he is the most regal of his family. i also feel that catelyn tully is not as strong as i wish her to be.. but let us remember i am not far into the series. there are characters id love to be proven wrong about and only time will tell.
oh and there is doubt i would recommend this book.... this series of books to anyone who is a reader.

Which ones have you read? What books would you include? I saw Their Eyes Were Watching God, and now I'm intrigued. I LOVE that book!
There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird

39 on the list, I kind of thought I would have read more of them. :( Some I have not heard of, maybe I will look into them.
Easily my favorite book on this list is Atlas Shrugged. Changed my look on life when I read it the first time. I also encourage reading any James Baldwin or Langston Hughes for any that have not been exposed. For a guy who grew up in lily-white Vermont in a very relaxed atmosphere it made for tremendous perspective on how things were earlier in the century in our own country.

I used to have a CD of poets reading their poetry. Langston Hughes was awesome at reading his poetry.
