LuxembearsWell many of you have given me some good ideas for future books to read.
Right now I am half way through, "A Walk in the Woods." By Bill Bryson. I was in the grocery store check out line whenmy daughter Rachel dashed for the book counter and grabbed this very book and said, " Look Mom!!!". The front cover is a wooded scene with a close up of a brown/grizzly bear's face at the bottom. Really cute! So , I bought the book just for the cover ! 
As it turn out it is not only entertainingly funny but educational as well. It's a real story wherethe author takesa journey through the AT or Appalachian Trail which is a 2,100+ hike through rough and beautifully picturesque terrain. In the first two chapters I had to wipe tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. It's a great read.

If I may be so bold... wood!
I was just thinking the exact same thing!
Jellybelly BearsI'm reading teddy bear magazines...lol...seriously so tired lately, I take a peak and fall asleep lol. But i usually read and read and read! books I repeat read are LOTR and Jane Austin...and Terry Brooks landover series.
LutonWell I'm am in the middle of Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.
Terry Pratchett is a hilarious, fantasy writer who writes the discworld novels.
This book is about Armageddon coming, when Hell gets one of its demons to swap the newborn son of the American Ambassador with the son of Satan. Unfortunately he gets swapped with an Accountants newborn and ends up living Tadfield with a hell dog that is now a cuddly mongrel that likes it's tummy tickled!!
When I have finished that I have bought " The Devil wears Prada!"
Hugs

Chaska, MinnesotaWell this is one of my favorite things to talk about. I love to read "trashy novels". You know historical romances written by Johanna Lindsey, Judith McNaught, Virginia Henley, Jill Barnet. But, I also love contemporary books to like those written by Janet Evonovich - the Stephanie Plumb series beginning with "One for the Money". These books are a hoot from start to finish. I think there are 12 or 13 written so far...
I subscribe to the Romantic Times Book Reviews. I hate to throw away money on a book only for it to be rotten. I don't have time for that either. So I read the reviews of all the books set to come out in the next month. I make a list of those I want to read. Call my book store and they call me when the books comes it. It is very simple but efficient.
So what am I reading currently? An oldie that is considered the greatest love story ever written (beside Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice) called Whitney My Love by Judith McNaught. I read it a long time ago but a revised version came out with a longer ending....
O.K. I have no children but here are my latest books:
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, Book 13, The End (I've read all the Lemony Snickets, this one was a little disappointing. IT was as if he wanted to end the series, but not really....)
Artemis Fowl, The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer (The best of the series! Loved it!)
I'm just starting The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson (Judi, I laughed my way through the whole "Walk in the Woods"!)

My daughter raided my Amazon wish list and surprised me with a copy of the latest Thomas Harris hardback 'Hannibal Rising' ... I'm really looking forward to reading it as I thoroughly enjoyed all his other books ... there's a lot to be said for a really creepy horror!

I love it.

Kiprie BearsOh Dilu, thank you ! :hug:
I haven't read a book in months, only my bear mags. I think the last book I read was "At the Mountains of Madness" by HP Lovecraft. I keep meaning to pick up my Edgar Allan Poe book (which is like a bible - lots of thin pages and tiny writing), but I just can't find time recently.
