· · What wonderful book are you reading now? Is it a good read?

Answer 1

I'm reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Stienbeck,
Its an oldie but I love it! Its got so many levels and meanings throughout the book if you look for them closely, and wonderfull characters, especially the leads, Lenny and George, its full of description and you acuually feel like your there.
I studied it in high school and found it an addictive book!
So in answer to your question I think its a very good read!

Answer 2

I'm reading an excellent book at the moment called: 'The Interpretation of Murder', by Jed Rubenfeld. Although the author had previously written a couple of non-fiction books, this is his first novel and it really is SOOooo good! It's not only a very clever thriller (set in New York in 1909), it's also very informative. Would thoroughly recommend! ALSO, the book I read a couple of weeks ago was very well written and a great thriller with a difference - really enjoyed it: Winter in Madrid, by C J Sansom (and if you every get to read it and enjoy it as much as I did, you'll also love 'Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon). And one more I just HAVE to mention is: Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris.

Answer 3

I'm reading the book I wrote myself. It is fun and interesting. It is about a girl who is going to die if she does not live in a place where there is no sunlight. She has to find this place before she turns 16. But on her planet there are 3 suns, each one at a different angle, so there is always sunlight, all over the planet, all the time. She meets a scary young prince in her dreams and falls in love with him. He never hurts her but he never helps her. And he shows her the way to find a place without sunlight. It is a place full of huge wild animals and wicked sorcerers. She can only break the curse if she marries him and he knows that. But if he tells her that then she can't marry him and she will surely die.

Answer 5

I wish I could say it's wonderful. I'm reading book four of the Harry Potter series and have 100 pages left. I like that J.K. Rowling is attempting to write a more psychological narrative, and it is more interesting than the last two books, but I can't get over her sloppy writing style. There's no music to her language, and I feel like young readers who idolize her writing are going to think that writing is all about plot and character.

I felt there was music in the first book. The language was precise, and Rowling even made punctuation into a character. But the later books don't have that elegant simplicity. Just a thesaurus. Something has been lost.

Answer 6

Ive just finished Tess Gerittsens vanish it was a bloody good read as is all her stuff, so now im moving on to either Jodi Picoults keeping faith or James Patterson's 5th horseman haven't decided yet will see what i fancy when its cup of tea and snuggle with the duvet time lol.

Answer 7

I'm currently reading 'Birdsong' by Sebastian Faulks. I've never read anything of his before and this was recommended to me by a friend that's in a production about the First World War (thanks again Daniel) and he said I would like it. I'm not a fan of war books/films, my stomach can't really take it because you know that so many people died and suffered. However, I found it to be brilliant so far, really well written and relatable.

Before that I was reading 'Laughter in the Dark' by Nabokov - I loved it, it's funny and dark and tragic. It's also full of lust and exploitation and is very clever - I would definitely recommend it.

Answer 8

Isambard Kingdom Brunell Engineering Knight Errant
by Adrian Vaughan.
A very good read about a truly great man.

Answer 9

Just finished re-reading "Slave" by Mende Nazer. VERY good read.

Currently reading "Simple Social Graces: Recapturing the Joys of Gracious Victorian Living" by LInda S. Lichter which is very interesting. I like it as my family on Mum's side is very strongly English, and so we were taught the importance of good manners, and to be ladies and gentlemen: something I'm instilling in my own children.

I also read the Bible (NKJV) daily.

Blessings, Gypsy Queen

Answer 10

Just read "Judge & Jury" by James Patterson and Andrew Gross. You can hardly go wrong with a James Patterson book. The pace is great and will keep you interested until the very end, where there is usually a great twist.
