Slow month for me.. Fully completed:

Big down turn for me reading wise this month, though I have to say it's one of the more varied in regards to reading interest.

Man and his Symbols; C.G. Jung
The Prussian Girls; P.N. Dedereaux
Choke; Chuck Palahniuk

The Vidal and Palahniuk book were the most interesting IMHO.

Mmmm reading

June was a pretty productive month for me reading wise.

I re-read the first four Harry Potter books (I am sooooo stoked for the 7th!)

And I also read...

The Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (really good)
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell (pretty interesting)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer (a must read for all)
Love Walked In by Maria De Los Santos (really cute and kind of cheesy love story)
 
My June books were:

The Group - McCarthy
The Historian - Kostova (for the 2nd time)
Ex Libris (didn't finish - not really into it, surprisingly)


Started The Last Templar and am almost finished it. Good story so far. Light reading though.

Tartan_skirt,

I am interested in your reaction to Frankenstein. Was it your first time reading it and what did you think? I think we all come to this book with preconceived notions, and then they get shot down. I loved it.

:) :D I think everyone needs to check out Joseph Mullins's new book War In the Finer Fields. It's available from PublishAmerica.com I'd never heard of this writer, but i'll tell you i was impressed with the epic quality to this story line. It read like a movie i once watched. So anyone who wants a good summer read who likes the Robert Jordon, and George MArtin style need to go and buy Joseph Mullins, WAR IN THE FINER FIELDS.

Could you please take this somewhere else? This is not the subject of the thread! This is not the place for this type of advertisement. Just because you liked a book does not mean that every one needs to check the book out, cause I am not going to.
