Depends on the book. Some books get me hooked in, no matter what, while with others, my mind can wander, even if it's a good book. :o I'm very easily distracted anyway.... :rolleyes: I also tend to have a bad memory when it comes to books I've read. I'll remember reading a book, and loving it...

I can't read in cars or buses. Makes me wanna hurl! :p Trains are ok though - that's the only thing I miss about catching the train to work. :rolleyes:

Loved The Secret History, wasn't too much a fan of The Little Friend. :rolleyes: In fact, I didn't end up finishing it....just skimmed the last chapter so I know how it ended (and I've forgotten that too! :eek: ) :o :rolleyes:

Big Stephen King fan here. :D Faves are The Stand and It. Enjoyed The Dark Tower series as well - liked how it ended. ;) My favourites of that series are the first four books (especially Wizard and Glass - though I know quite a few people didn't like that one :confused: ).

I've read all of Palahniuk, except for his latest (Stranger than Fiction??). I think Fight Club is the best of his books, followed by Invisible Monster and Survivor. Didn't care too much for Diary or Choke. :(

No, not yet. :o I bought it a while back, but it's still on my "to-read" list. :rolleyes: My fave is Alias Grace. :D

I've never been able to get into Koontz. :( I don't know - for some reason, I just can't stay interested when I read most of his books, so I've pretty much given up on them. :o I positively loved Watchers though. :D

You'll wizz through it. It's unputdownable, IMO. :D

Helter Skelter by Vincent Bugliosi. Or the John Douglas books (Mindhunter, Journey into Darkness, etc) - very good reads, for someone interested in what goes on behind criminal profiling.

She's fantastic! :D My recommendation would be to start off with Alias Grace - that's my fave. :D

LOL. :p Thanks for the welcome, guys! :D :)

Tori Amos - Scarlet's Walk Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

Oh wow, I haven't thought about this book in ages. :eek: I had to read it in primary school, but I think I liked it anyway. :p I would like to re-read it as an adult to see what I think of it now.

:eek: :p

Margaret Atwood, and Stephen King. I can't tell you how many times I have read The Stand. :o And I've yet to get sick of it! :eek: :rolleyes: :p

For fiction - Margaret Atwood. She has such a great writing style, that just draws you in. For non-fiction - hmmmm, probably Carl Sagan, if you have an interest in all things science. RitalinKid, I loved The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond! :D Still have yet to read Guns, Germs and...

I just finished re-reading Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood. She's such a fantastic author, with a great command of the English language. She can make anything interesting! :D

I prefer the first one (the darker one). I think it catches the eye more. :)

Hi everyone! ;) I'm glad to have found this forum! :D I'm an avid book reader (or at least I try to be, in between work, and other things :rolleyes: ) I've been browsing this forum for a few weeks, and have added so many book recommendations to my list.... :eek: I don't know when...
