[2014] What Are You Reading?

It is hard to imagine that a 1000 page book about the building of a cathedral could be so entertaining.

 

Finished And the Mountains Echoed a couple nights ago. Great read...the character development was excellent, with a good handful of different stories getting woven into one as the book neared the end. Although the ending was well done, it wasnt the ending I was hoping for...

Spoiler

I was reading the book thinking the ending would be a fairytale ending, but instead, it was partly happy and partly sad...not that it was a bad thing, it just caught me a little off guard.

Moving onto an 800 pager, which Im not sure I have the patience for, but we will see...

 

I am about to dive in to some Carl Hiaasen, but I'm starting backwards with his more recent young adult novels, going with 'Chomp' first...

 

Clutchfans.

 

Well written and very interesting. Somewhat depressing though too, which is typical of most books I read. Recommended.

 

Almost finished with The Lowland- Jumpa Lahiri

Started reading Eating the Dinosaur- Chuck Klosterman

My next book when I finish the first is Making Habits, Breaking Habits- Jeremy Dean

 

Jealous!! One of my favorite authors.

When Wrestling Was Rasslin' - The wild and exciting inside story of the legendary Houston Wrestling promotion by Peter Birkholz

 

I just started Kill Decision by Daniel Suarez.

Before that I read the Divergent series. Great reads, similar to the Hunger Games. Movie coming out later this year.

 

I have about 50 books I want to read now on "my list"...wtf.

Im thinking of tackling a couple Stephen King books this year...I have about 10-15 of them on my Kindle...anyone have suggestions or recs?

 

I am looking forward to reading Hollow City, the follow up to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. btw, I understand that Tim Burton will come out with a movie in 2015. Looking forward to that too.

 

This book, and its SO INSANELY BORING:



However, I hear the series picks up after you get past this terrible 10th installment where nothing happens for 800 pages.

 

Finished Inferno by Dante and The Faerie Queene by Spenser, starting Paradise Lost by Milton. Also reading several Malcolm Gladwell books and Mere Christianity by Lewis.

 

for crying out loud, mlaitkep

 

My fav King books in order:

11/22/63--The only non-horror book but very good.
The Stand--GREAT apocalypse novel
It
Salem's Lot--His best book that isn't too long.
