I am about 1/2 in to the Goldfinch- is quite interesting and sure takes some twists.
Two others I just finished and enjoyed immensely

I am currently reading The Ukimwi Road by Dervla Murphy. Maybe some of you have heard of her; she is from Ireland and tours different places by bike and writes about her travels. This book is about a trip through East Africa during the 1990s and so far it is really fascinating.

You guys are reading books with such substance that I feel silly recommending Joe Hill, or even the dreaded Stephen King....:-( but I did read The Fault in Our Stars last year and it is an AMAZING read.... Don't think the movie will be able to do it justice.

I like both Joe Hill and Stephen King.

I recently bought on Nook Mr. Mercedes (King) and NOS4A2 (Hill).... I am so excited to read both that I don't know which one to start first and have been procrastinating... LOL Originally Posted by salsabike
