I am currently reading "33 AD" by Ted Dekker. Its a very good book, also read the previous book, "30 AD". I recommend reading both of them.

I was reading The Fiery Cross and it kind of got boring. I'm thinking of picking them up again.

Norah Lofts books are excellent. Her house series books are great.

I started AGAIN to try to read Finnegans Wake by James Joyce. As many times before I can't get passed the first page. LOL Has anyone read this book?

I reread To Kill a Mockingbird to see what I was missing and it's a good book but not a favorite. I feel like I'm missing something when I don't like a book so many love.

I read Ulysses by James Joyce many years ago. I don't really remember it, I just remember it was hard to read.

I've always loved "To Kill a Mockingbird" but like everything else, I'm sure it's not for everyone. I don't like a lot of books that lots of other people like. I don't worry about it. It just means I have different taste than they do. That's why there are so many different books.

Sue Grafton murder series. I'll be done with her after this book. She has gloomy descriptions of much of the world.

I'm currently reading Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I love his books. They're so well written and just suck you right in. But I feel like I have to do research to keep up! :D

right now i'm reading books by Henning Mankell. murder mysteries. Kurt Wallander. also reading books by Donna Leon, Commissario Brunetti. Swedish and Italian (living there) authors. these have also been t.v. shows.

Hello fellow readers! I have vision issues so I listen to audio books but the nice thing about that is I can sew and read at the same time. Here in King County, WA (where Seattle is) we have an awesome library system so mostly I get my books as downloads and go through 2-3 in a typical week. I have insomnia among other issues so they are part of my going to bed stuff and then when I wake up I have a couple of hours from 1:30-3:30ish each night.

For insomnia books they have to strike a fine line between interesting enough and too intense! LOL, they aren't supposed to keep me up all night. I used to finish everything I started but I've learned that time is precious and not all books are... With audio books you have the narrator to contend with in addition to the writing, if I don't like it in 20 minutes I give up and move on.

Mostly I tend towards detective/courtroom/spy "adventure" books like the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child, or Clive Cussler books, but I listen to just about all genres, fiction and non-fiction, and like some biographies now and then. Just finished are a collection of short stories set in the Dresden Files universe by Jim Butcher (urban fantasy), a book about sleep types called The Power of When by Michael Breus, one of the Charlie Parker books by John Connolly (detective/mystery with a supernatural bent).

Waiting for downloads are Liar's Candle by August Thomas, Mrs. Sherlock Holmes by Brad Ricca, and Changes, another Dresden Files book that I already read but apparently from listening to the short story collection containing things I'm not remembering well :) The first two are books I judged by their cover, or at least from being on the "recently added" list.

Cash's Mom, I liked the Dan Brown books quite a lot. Have you tried the Sigma Force books by James Rollins? I also liked the Joe Ledger books by Jonathan Maberry (actually I like a lot of his books, but they tend to be more on the horror side of the fence).

Edit: NativeTexan, I've been doing a lot of Swedish/Norwegian mysteries myself, I particularly enjoyed the characters in the Camilla Lackberg books. Also read the Jo Nesbo books, and am working my way through Wallander.

OH yes, Camilla. I subscribe to MHz worldwide television and sometimes actually watch some of these shows. It used to come with my Comcast package.
