What are you READING?

Just finished "the Time Traveler's Wife". Really liked it. I want to see the movie- but I have no idea how they would fit it all in.

I see a lot of books here listed that I have read. I read before bed every night, helps me go to sleep and that is when I have time lol. I love the Literature and Fiction genre but read a little of everything. Right now I am rereading Middlesex, since I have run out of stuff to read. I need to go to the library again lol. There is usually a huge booksale near us in the spring where I can stock up on a lot of good and sometime recently released titles cheap.

I have been reading James Rollins books recently. I really liked the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child books but I have read all of them (including the ones they wrote separately). I was looking for something similar and James Rollins fits the bill (though his books aren't as strange as some of the Preston/Child ones). I'm not sure what I am going to do when I get through all the James Rollins. Anyone have suggestions for similar books by another author?

I am reading a biography of Daniel Boone, a distant relative. (One of my Great-Great, ETC. GREAT Grandmothers was a sister of Daniel Boone's Father, Squire Boone. Sarah Boone. She was Daniel Boone's Aunt.)

It is a very interesting book, authored by John Mack Faragher. It is said to be the "most accurate" biography of Boone.

I haven't read any Rollins but now think I have to after this. I read some Preston/Child books and enjoyed them. Similar kinds of books? How about Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, etc), James Patterson ( his Maximum Ride series), Dean Koontz ( his Moonlight Bay series).

I'll keep thinking.

Sound neat to read about a relative! Lucky you!

I usually have more than one book going...one for bedtime, one for daily reading time and one in the bathroom...

"Storey's Guide to Raising Chickens" Gail Damerow

"How to Survive The End of the World As We Know It; Tactics, Techniques and Technologies for Uncertain Times" James Wesley Rawles

"Eaters of the Dead" Michael Crichton

I usually keep the latest volume of "Uncle John's Bathroom Reader" in the Guest bath too, and I am eagerly awaiting Volume 21 now...
