The last book I finished reading was The Targe by Catherine Coulter. It is th fourth book in her FBI Series. I really enjoyed it. I liked the first three books in that series as well. They are good fiction that have some cool mysteries in them.

That should say The Target...the T key on my keyboard isn't working very well.

I enjoy Catherine Coulter as well. I recently read Blindside... Point Blank and Born to be Wild are staring at me from the bookshelf waiting to be read.

Heh... 3 hours ago I have finished "Granica" by Zofia Nalkowska ("Frontier" in English). It's a very interesting book about relations between men and women. The plot is very, very real and also sad. Nalkowska can describe peoples feeling in very beautiful style. I'm vary happy that I have read this book. Ps. Do you know any Polish writer?

I try to read books, but haven't been sucessful of late on that score, though I have read a whole heap of blogs, discussions and news articles online, so I'm still at least reading. I reckon though I need to set up my reading nook again and dedicate some time to my books, as they are just gathering dust at the moment. I've got Bryce Courtney's latest book to read ( a christmas present) and it sounds really good.

I am actually writing a novel right now so reading is not in my world. When you are a writer, I think we forget to read until reminded. On the current list of readins for me ahead, Lovecraft and a few others. I always learn something from a book, no matter how badly it was written. Ainge

I'm currently reading 2 books, and very near the conclusion of both. One is Afermath by Peter Robinson, and the other is Certain Prey by John Sandford. Both are about murders & crime investigations - intriguing!

I am reading a Chinese novel "Shui Hu Zhuan" these days. I think I will have it finished next Sunday. This is the second time I read this novel. Always I like to read a novel for times.

I am mad on Martina Cole, I absolutely love her books, they are nice and thick so they are meaty and quite scandalous too, they are about the East End of London and Faces and about the 80s gang leaders etc. She has written endless books and I am working my way through them, I get them from the library and I like to curl up at night and read a couple of chapters each night, trouble is they are very hard to put down. I tend to read mostly fiction, because for me reading is about relaxing not about getting your head round studying, I did enough of that when I did research at school and college.

I recently finished "Through Black Spruce" by Joseph Boyden. If I sound like a broken record it is because I am very proud of my fellow Canadian. I met the author, purchased his book and he signed it BEFORE he won the Giller Award. So I have a First Edition signed copy of the book. I like to support writers. I like to support Canadian writers more. I must say, in my defense, that "Through Black Spruce" is a very good read. I really enjoyed it. JB takes a fictional look at a different culture of Native Indians in Northern Ontario, though the story travels to Toronto, Montreal and New York. I highly recommended it.

hi love...i practically finished reading, "the roswell UFO report. what they don't want you to know" it showed how a lot of the witnesses were not reliable cause they either changed their stories or the evidence didn't support their story. but it just seem to leave more questions as to who knows the truth and what they're not telling us.

I am currently reading Breaking Dawn of the Twilight series. I love the series, this is the fourth time that I have read it and for me that is saying a lot. Since I had my children I don't have a lot of time to read but when I got this series I made the time. I am also reading my textbooks on freelance writing. I have actually learned a lot from the text books that I have. I think that they are very interesting and helped me learn a lot of new things, I had no idea what was involved with writing before I took this course. Keep reading and be happy.

I just finished reading "Memoirs of a Geisha" and I am almost done reading "The Book Thief." Both are very interesting. I especially like "The Book Thief." It is told from a different point of view than normal, and it makes the story-telling more interesting. I highly recommend it.
