What Book are You Reading?

[maranda]

Hey folks,

I'm a huge fan of a good novels. I was wondering what everyone else has been reading as of late non-affiliate marketing related.

After hearing everyone rant and rave about it, I just finished The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It was a good book, but I don't think I was as enthralled with it as other people were.

Are there any other literary heads out there? Tell me I'm not the only nerd on this block.

Oh my I feel so non-literary and so not-geeky compared to you.

I can't remember the last time I read a book.
I live online and am a workaholic with no hobbies.
How geeky is that?

I just finished a book a few days ago. First time I've read a book in at least 3-4 years. It's called "A Size 12 Is Not Fat" by Meg Cabot. Don't let the title fool ya. It was actually a comedic/suspense novel about a murder in a college dorm. Ooooooooh!

I just bought the sequel last week. It's called "A Size 14 is STILL not Fat." LOL! I think I'm going to dive into tonight!

It's an easy read. I can't deal with those deep, thought-provoking novels you have to sit and figure out things. Ugh! After 10-12 hours of affiliate marketing during the day, the lighter the read, the better.

Gees, It has been a while since I have read a book but the last book I read was the biography on Rocky Marciano.

Ah, books!!

I am a huge, huge, fan of Jack Kerouac! I am actually in the process of re-reading my favorite book by him: The Dharma Bums.

Prior to this, I read Paul Auster's The Invention of Solitude which was just...amazing!

Any other Kerouac (or other beat-generation writers) fans out there?

I'm a big fan of historical fiction (kinda geeky ) - I recommend any books by Phillipa Gregory. She writes about the women/monarchy/society in 16th century Europe, her best is probably 'The Other Boelyn Girl', which is being made into a movie starring Scarlett Johanson.

If you're not a huge history buff, another good read that I just finished is 'The Good Life' by Jay McInerney. It's contemporary fiction set in New York post 9/11, sort of a love story/drama.

I'm a huge reader and would love to hear more suggestions too!

I'm reading War and Peace right now -- love big, fat, juicy, heavy stories but the problem is its taking me months due to time constraints! Oh well...it's definitely a great book if you like heavy stuff like that.

Sometimes, though I think I should go back to some short novels or something that doesn't take so much concentration! Lol

Hi gang,

I love to read, my problem is continuing with it once I get started. I always seem to have something else to do, and then my book gets left behind. Hmm maybe I don't love it that much.

I also always wonder how you can re-read a book? ... and yes I do re-watch movies so don't even go there.

I'm strictly a "How-To" and "Non-Fiction" reader. Pictures also help.

Honestly the last book I thumbed through front to back was "How to Conquer the Clutter". Yes, true story.

But I do plan to read my friend's book shortly. And it's fiction mind you. It's good fun, here's the Amazon review:

Amazon.com: Bank: A Novel: Books: David Bledin

To read or not to read, that is the question....
