What are you reading now?

[Linda and "Toby"]

It will be fun to share books we love! 

[F, Calla & Luca]

I'm halfway through the third. The second was a good read, too.

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

I just started "Under the Dome" by Stephen King....Very thick book for bathroom reading ......ouch!

[Amanda and Quinn]

LOVED that book. I'm huge King fan and it was one of my all-time faves. For some reason I like anything where he has a group of people trapped in a small space.

[Lynda Kamrath]

You must spend a lot of time in the bathroom! Haha, just kidding, but that is a thick book and Stephen King needs some time to process.

I'm reading The Darkest Evening of the Year by Koontz. It actually has a foster dog theme and lots of other crazy stuff, but you might like the Golden Retriever rescue part.

[Jacquie Yorke (DRC)]

I saw that book and thought about picking it up.....I like Koontz.....Is it horror?

[Lynda Kamrath]

Oh, it is kind of light horror, if you can imagine that. It is about a downs syndrone girl who is treated about like a dog from a puppy mill. The ghost (or angel) of a golden retriever saves the day. Kind of different for Koontz, but I liked it.

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I really liked it too. It's disturbing on so many levels, yet at the same time it's compelling. He clearly has an amazing insight into how bonded many of us are with our dogs and what they bring to our lives. I read it in a day....I was obsessed and couldn't put it down.

[Suzanne & Jack]

Just started reading A Dog's Purpose. Excellent. It reminds me of The Art of Racing in the Rain in that it is told from a dog's POV.

[Carole (*Koda*Monty*Bindi)]

A couple of weeks ago I finished Leila Meacham’s Roses. The saga spans three generations in Texas and had the feeling of The Thorn Birds while I was reading it. Absolutely loved it! I highly recommend it.

[Amanda and Quinn]

I've read a couple of good ones in the past few weeks.

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender: it's weird, but if you don't mind some supernatural stuff, it's very well written.

Columbine by Dave Cullen: this blew my mind, and affected me for days. He's supposedly the leading expert on the Columbine shootings, and the book goes through the whole mess in exhausting detail. Not beach reading, but excellent.

So Much for That by Lionel Shriver: if you've read any of her other books (We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Post-Birthday World), you'll like this. It's a harsh review of the US health care system wrapped up in a good story.

I'm reading the latest Sue Miller right now - the name is escaping me - but it's really good.

[Leigh & Allie]

I am reading the Kite Flyer. Anyone read it? I am half way through and have cried twice now.
