I love to read. My favorite author of all time is Stephen King. Currently, I'm reading "The Gunslinger", the first in the Dark Tower series. I've also got Marley and Me by John Grogan waiting to be picked up soon. :)

I really enjoyed that one!

Just finished Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.  Flying through In the Company of Cheerful Ladies by Alexander McCall Smith now.

It's addictive because of the way he wrote it in short segments. I find myself saying, aww...just one more segment then I'll put it down!  :D

I thought the peppered Moth by Margaret Drabble was really good, although it made me want to change my name to Faro! :)

I've read quite a few of hers, but not that one!

Hubby brought me home the new Stephn King book, Under The Dome, as a surprise the oter night! Had no idea King had a new book out!  I've dropped everything else I was reading in favor of his new 900 page epic.  om nom nom.

The Snow-Adam Roberts. It's not really one I'd recommend so far.  There's several problems so far, not the least of which is he is not a male writer who seems to be very good at using female protagonists.  Plus it is very confused about what it wants to be, and feels more like a political thriller that happens to be set after a world wide devastating event rather than speculative fiction or soft sci-fi.  And don't get me started on the lack of character names based on the idea you are reading censored texts.

I am a bit determined to finish it though.

I'd buy shares in Kleenex before reading Marley and Me.

Oooo, go ahead and buy the rest of the books in the series.  The Dark Tower saga is by far my most favorite of his works.  You're in for quite the epic journey!

I'm (re-)reading Shadow Games by Glen Cook.  I'm not sure what I'm going to read after I finish the other story in this omnibus; I've been pinching pennies too much to get new books lately! :'(
