What book are you currently reading?

Right now I am reading Frederick Forsyth's "The Afghan," which is a thriller/spy novel. I am not that far into the book yet to make a sound judgment about it. Would love to hear from anyone who has already read it. The three books I have read recently that I recommend are: "Reality: The Novel" by Jeff Havens. It's a satire on reality TV and it's funny to boot. I also loved "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini, who is the author of "The Kite Runner," a book so popular it sold 4 million copies. Finally, for those writers in the crowd, I loved "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott, which is a basic how-to for beginning (and experienced) writers that is simply charming. It also has tons of practical advice about writer's block, starting out, publishing, and so on. Finally, I just finished a great spy book called "A Spy by Nature" by Charles Cumming. He goes inside the mind of a young guy recruited to work for the British Secret Intelligence Service (UK version of CIA). It was a fantastic book, and he based the novel on his own experiences.

At the moment I'm reading a book about Lucille Balls life. It is really interesting. there are also a lot of great pictures in the book as well.

Unfortunately I cannot afford to read for leisure right now because of the tremendous law books that i have to read for law school. Anyway, my all time favorite book is The bronze horseman by Paullina Simons. The rainmaker by John grisham comes to close second. I have read both these books twice :)

im currently reading the new Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. so far its really good :) my favorite book is Twilight by Stephanie Meyer it is an awsome book :) i deffinitly reccomend that book to anyone who likes vampires and romance :P its really well written

I am currently reading The Stand by Stephen King. A friend recommended it after a discussion last week so I'm giving it a try. I generally find King books to be really long. Too long. But this one seems good so far so we'll see where it goes. My favorite book of all time is a children's book called Island of the Blue Dolphin. It is a story about a young girl who gets stranded alone on an island and how she manages to live on her own. It was given to me when I was about 10 and was very sick so it took my mind off of my illness and was a source of great comfort to me. I still read it when I am not feeling well and it comforts me. I think that my favorite adult book is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It's a great love story that involves time travel and history and it takes place in Scotland. It's a great book.

im reading Night Whispers of Judith McNaught. this is the last novel of her that is available in our school library and im saddened about it. all of her novels are so great. that's why i read almost all of them in my leisure time. my favorite book of all time from Judith Mcnaught is Once and Always, it's a love story. and i like it. My other favorite book is Jackdaws from Ken Follett, its a spy novel. i love spy novels. and i also like Talbot Odyssey form Nelson DeMille, it's a spy novel as well. the following authors i mention are my personal favorites, i love all of their writing actually. =)

I am currently reading "The Bishop and the Missing L Train" by Andrew M. Greeley. I have read several of his books. I think he is the second most read author on my reading list. I have read more Ed McBain books than any other author, but then he has written hundreds of books. I don't have a favourite book. I have read almost 800 books since I was in grade school, there is no way I can pick one favourite book. I love to read and read what I love. I usually stick to my favourite authors (of which there are several) but sometimes step outside my comfort zone and read a new author and enjoy them too. But I don't have a favourite book.

Currently I am reading a book titled Don't Be Sad. In Arabic it is called "La Tahzan", or in Malay it is titled "Jangan Bersedih". It is written by Dr. Aidh Bin Abdullah Al-Qarni. I read this book because it has a lot of consoling sentences to reduce sadness in myself. I am not in a deep depression or anything, it's only that the book gives me some sort of comforting. I love this book. It can be found in popular book stores throughout the country.
