What are you reading right now? Come in and tell us!

I think its supposed to go into production sometime this year, so maybe mid next year for release?

Someone like Jim Caveziel would be so much better as Reacher. He does the brooding, silent type so well

Nikky - Lee Child's books are great reads. Definitely recommend them if you're looking for something

[OceanPrincess]

Stewed on Tom Cruise all the way home while reading Reacher on my Kindle. Boo. Really not happy about that. I read that thing as well about the height being just one facet of his personality. That is such utter bollocks. I think the same article said that so many of Reacher's "situations" start because of his size - he is in the wrong place at the wrong time but because of his size he gets sucked into the scenario. And becomes the unlikely hero and uses his height/size/presence to his advantage. The one I'm reading now (Persuader - had to check) has a whole sub plot going on about this tough guy, Paulie, who is bigger than Reacher. And automatically he is on steriods because no normal person is bigger than Reacher

Hmm, Jim C... I think he'd be great. I'm loving that show he is in currently on Ch 9.

Nikky - give them a go. You can pick up the early ones (started with "Killing Floor" I believe) for quite cheap in most book stores I think. On Kindle they are pretty cheap too.

oops sorry, yes that should be lee. stupid fat pg fingers

I hope you didn't think it was rude of me to 'correct' you? Ler could actually be a name

Ocean, Tom will have to go on steroids in prep for the filming. He will never 'be' Jack. It's embarrassing really.

I am reading my Connelly book in large paperback format and I am not loving it. The book is cumbersome and awkward to hold while bf. I much prefer reading on my kindle now. It is light. And I can increase the font in low light situations. And there are food stains on some of the pages of the book - yuck! - where a library patron has spilt their lunch while reading.

Ewwwwww. I am so OCD about my books - no breaking spines, folding pages etc. My books all look like they've never been read. I never, ever lend them to anyone and can't borrow books either from friends or the library cos I hate all the damage they come with.

I really think I need to get a kindle. Just not sure if I'll deal with the whole no paper in my hands thing. Do you all find it an easy adjustment or does it take a while to start to love it?

[TubbyPuff]

I'm currently reading (and have been for some time, just been too busy lately) the second book in the Eragon series: Eldest. For about the 10th time

[OceanPrincess]

Haha Lu I am the same with my books. Would you believe I reluctantly loaned my Lord of the Rings trilogy to someone I was working with and then while he had the last one he left the company

I was devastated that I'd lost the third in my series... and then I randomly bumped into him just recently and asked about it - he still had it and posted it to me. Woohoo! DH had been saying "just buy a new one" but it wouldn't have been the same as the other two, it was an older print, and that would have annoyed me intensely.

ETA: love my Kindle. Have you seen one before? I had used my dad's a little bit so I sort of knew what to expect. Otherwise I think it would take a while to get used to, with the page redrawing and stuff. It is completely different to the way a tablet/iPhone/iPad works, you need to get used to the "e-ink". But I adore it now. Comes everywhere with me. Never know when I'm going to need it

[Beatrix]

Lulu- I don't have a kindle but have over 600 books on my iPad.

I'm waiting patienty for a book set To arrive... The black dagger brotherhood. I have read them all before but borrowed them and now the new one in the series is coming out so need to refresh myself and I love them so brought them this time instead of borrowing.

Apparently the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy is classified as Mummy Porn. A friend of mine has a friend in the US and was explaining why it has become so popular.
It has become one of the the top sellers in the US due to the tablet/kindle phenomenon. As in, people cannot tell what you are you out in public or on on tablet so a lot more people are reading it

[peanutter]

ok, tell me about the hunger games ... do the books deserve the hype? should I buy and read them?

[Little Chicken]

I am eagerly awaiting the delivery of the book of The Hunger Games that I ordered on Saturday. Looking forward to something different to read.

[Bloom]

I'm reading Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. I loved her other books - this one is pretty good so far.

[Shanti]

I'm reading "Last Child In the Woods" by Richard Louv.

About children becoming nature-deficit because kids aren't outside as much as they were years ago!! Thanks to technology etc....

[{sarah}]

Currently reading "Anonymums" which is absolutely hilarious & awesome It's written by three Aussie mummy bloggers who decided to do three months of playing truth or dare each getting one truth & one dare in the month. So interesting the things that came out of the dares

[Rowellen]

I'm currently reading Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I vaguely recall the storyline from seeing the movie some time ago. Dragons & magic, random average person saves the world type of thing.

Thanks to all the chatter on here, I bought myself a kindle for DH & the kids to give me for my birthday. It's the first birthday I've actually looked forward to in a while I still have a few weeks to wait though.

[AnyDream]

Peanutter, yes: buy and read. Very intelligent storytelling. It will end up being one of those books you read at school IMO.

[Kimbles01]

Nutter - I read book 1 in one day, and book 2 the next. Now waiting for book 3 to be delivered, so re-reading 1 & 2 again while waiting.

Wholeheartedly agree. So many themes. My friend has just started the first one and is really upset by it all

I told her she needs to toughen up as it only gets worse

But P you asked a while ago if it is similar to Battle Royale - I was telling DH about it and he said the same thing, it sounds really similar to Battle Royale! It does, but from what I read about Battle Royale (haven't read the actual book) it goes beyond, into the consequences of the games. It doesn't stop when the games stop.

Do it. Read them. You won't regret it.

Funniest book on marriage & kids - Kerri Sackville's When My Husband Does The Dishes. I was laughing the entire way through & nodding my head.
