I just finished this, in about 2 days. It lost some momentum toward the end, but overall a pretty dark story.
Now starting The Nightmare, by Lars Kepler. Trying to patiently wait for the last of the Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbo.I win.0 -

I read it last week as a bit of light relief from the heavier stuff...do older Americans get criticised as much as we Brits for reading a so-called kids book. I have read them all as has everyone in my family and could not care less what age group the book purists believe they are for; as long as you are reading, you're thinking and keeping you're mind active... :?:
Never too old to get lost and imagine..
I'm so happy to see others reading these. My kids are reading them and so crazy for them. They won't stop talking about them. I had never read them so thought I'd give them a whirl to see what the fuss is about. I am enjoying them so much and am in book 5...The Order of Phoenix. I agree they are for all ages.

I read and re-read them multiple times while waiting for the next book in the series. I even stood in line at midnight to get the last one. I loved them but can't get my kids to read them. :roll:And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes0 -

I'm so jealous...I would love to be reading them for the 1st time...especially the final 2 books in the series. You are in for a wee treat0 -

I gather that from the fact that I practically have to put a gag on my oldest so she doesn't spill the beans before I get to read them5/3/92 Omaha, NE

I am just starting Reginald Hill's "The Woodcutter", I have a feeling this one will take a bit since it is 500 pages long, but I hope the story is so good I get lost in time and fly through it...If there were no Angels would there be no sin?0

Right now I'm reading
'The French Lieutenant's Woman' by John Fowles
Anybody else read that? I really like John Fowles, my favorite so far is 'The Collector.'I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.0 -
I've seen other people on here mention "Dracula." I'm about halfway through it, not sure what the impetus was to start, and it is quite good!0

Since i will be home and not really be able to do stuff for a few days (surgery), went to the Barnes & Noble and picked up a few books.
First one i picked up is called "Wildwood". It's a children's fantasy novel (like Where The Wild Things Are and Harry Potter). Colin Meloy (of the Decemberists) wrote it and his wife did the illustrations. One of my friends told me about it. It's about some seventh graders who are drawn to a magical forest while looking for a baby who was kidnapped by crows :? Looks interesting.
For my second book, I was gonna pick up Stephern King's "Joyful" but couldn't find it, which I was surprised. While I was looking around though I came across a book that caught my eye. It's called "A Street Cat Named Bob" by James Bowen. This street musician finds a stray cat in his aprtment in London and I guess adopts the cat and they become friedns and all. Spent a year the best sellers list in England. Being compared to Marley and Me and Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World.8/28/98- Camden, NJ

Brought back another box of comics from my mom's house (still stored from when I was a kid) for my nephew to read and found this in there. Pulled it out as it is not age appropriate and started reading it last night. A really cool read, Frank Miller's Batman is the best.The love he receives is the love that is saved0
