Thanks. I'll check it out!

Finished Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today! I love how much the kids are into it. I'm going to reserve #4 on CD next.

I SO need a really good book to read! I finished Life of Pi and was not impressed. Oh well - maybe the next book will be a winner!

All of the above. I have very eclectic tastes when it comes to reading. I've just had a string of duds lately.

I read a nutrition book called The Full Plate Diet. I haven't picked up another novel yet. Well, technically I am reading one, but it's on CD. I tend to have one in hand and one on iPod! I think I'm going to read The Talisman next.

I just got back from vacation and updated the 5 books I read while I was gone. It was wonderful to have so much time to read! Now I am back to my 30 minutes a day if I am lucky.

[SAHDS]

I am beyond ashamed to admit it, but Facebook has taken over my life and I have not finished a book in almost 3 weeks or so. I've been reading I Capture the Castle, maybe a page per day. I need to crack down and do something constructive!

FWIW, I was not impressed with Life of Pi, either. Good, not great. I just finshed The Book Thief and LOVED it! There are about 20 really good reads on my list (page 1), if anyone wants to check it out

I have that one in my basement waiting for me! I tried it once, but just couldn't get into it. My friends keep saying - stick with it, once you get 50 pages or so into you'll be hooked. I haven't picked it up again yet though.

I've been too busy to finish a book lately, but I am plodding through a couple still!
