What are you reading?

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.

Diana Gabaldon's latest book in the Outlander series came out today: "Written in My Own Heart's Blood." Downloaded it to my Kindle app late last night and plan to spend a lot of my free time the next few weeks reading all 848 pages!

I did read this morning that Starz network is doing a mini series based on #1. Anyone know anything about this? It could be awesome or horrible.

Yes, but only from what I read on Diana Gabaldon's Facebook page. I'm still on the fence on whether I'd want to see it, for the reason you stated! Already the actress chosen to play Claire is completely different from what I pictured in my mind.

I'm currently reading Washington Square by Henry James. It's for uni, but I'm enjoying it. It's a great book for close reading because there are so many nuances to pick up on. Other than that, I'm reading some handbook on starting a business in Russia, haha. It's for learning the economy-specific vocabulary, however, I have no entrepreneurial aspirations in Russia at the moment

Ditto! The Stand is probably my favorite King novel.

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

NOS4A2 is excellent! I'm on the waiting list at my library for Mr. Mercedes.

NOS4A2 is excellent! I'm on the waiting list at my library for Mr. Mercedes.

Thank you for your input and helping me decide. I've been craving some Joe Hill so that is the one I will read this weekend. ��

I am also reading Boston's Bicycling Craze 1880-1900, by Lorenz Finison. He spoke at my club's rally. It's about the socio-political-racial/feminist issues that were involved in the cycling craze at that time. A bit academic, but good.
