I am almost finished reading " Eclpise" By Stephenie Meyer and I am looking forward to reading her neat book " Breaking Dawn' I have never been to crazy about reading vampire books really well exept for when " interview With a Vampire' came out in the 90's I read a few of Ann Rice's books. I like the "Twlight" series or saga better though so far.

Currently reading "Home Safe" by Elizabeth Berg. So far, I am really enjoying it.
My 14 year old son used to just roll his eyes when the girls he knew said they were reading "Twilight". So he got smart and read the first book just to know what the girls were talking about. Very clever way to get conversations going with "the ladies", he says. Goofy kid!lol.

At present I am reading about financial literacy books. It is The Secret of Millionaire's MInd by T. Harv Eker. I learned about the difference of rich and poor people and the way they think about money. If you really want to be rich you have to think like rich people do what they done and think big. I learned so many things and I am applying it to my present life. The only problem is a money for future investment to complete my application. it change my thoughts. This is really helpful books if you want to be rich in the future.

Hi Shaun, i am reading Angels and Demons written by Dan Brown. I have just about finished it and I have a lot of mixed feelings about the book. It reads more like a film script and is as controversial as his earlier Da vinci code.I have also started reading another book 'Strong Medicine' written by Arthur Haley..

I've never read any of the Stephanie Meyer books but i have friends who are OBSESSED with the books. I saw the first movie and i thought it was really cute. It's a cool idea, kinda like the television show true blood.
- The main book i'm reading is Angels and Demons. I saw the movie and started to read the book after i saw it. I got bored with this book (it's too long and detailed) so i've put it down for a bit.
- I'm reading a book about acting, and a book of plays by Ionesco.

- I'm reading a book about acting, and a book of plays by Ionesco. They are both amazing and would recommend them for anyone who is interested in theatre.

I am about half way through Breaking Dawn. I had prolonged reading Twilight for so long because I just didn't think I could get into a "child's book."
How wrong I was!
I am so into it now, that I can't seem to get out of it. I can't put the books down.
I will probably be done with Breaking Dawn tomorrow because it has gotten really good.
When you are all done with the four, I would love to know which one was your favorite.
So far, Twilight is still my favorite, with Breaking Dawn coming in 2nd, then New Moon, and then Eclipse.
HAPPY READING :)

I am reading NOT MY TURN TO DIE (Memoirs Of A Broken Childhood In Bosnia) by Savo Heleta, who is a personal friend of mine. His book is absolutely amazing, and what he went through is almost unbelieveable. Somehow those experiences made him a stronger person. I'm happy to help promote this wonderful book, and I'm enjoying reading it.

It's a wonderful book that I reccomend to everyone. Savo is a wonderful person and overcame a lot in his lifetime.

Cool. I didn't read the books, but I saw Twilight the movie. Right now I'm reading Why Don't Penguins Feet Freeze. It's a collection of questions and answers that readers of the magazine New Scientist ask and answer. Some of these questions I would never think of, and some of the replies are just too darn funny. And some of the answers are WAY over my head. The people at that magazine are mega smart.

I am not reading anything right now, Shaun, a rarity for me since I am always reading. What happened is that I closed out all of my book club memberships and decided to go solo. I am following several series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Karen Marie Moning, James Lee Burke, and Lee Child. Every now and then I find that I have over-extended myself by buying so many books, so I just cancel my memberships to all of the clubs. I know of a great site that sells books at a very reasonable price, so I will buy my books there for awhile. This gives me the opportunity to find new authors that I have not tried, or just to pick up some books by favorite authors at a reduced price.

I have been receiving a catalog from them for several years now, and they have some really great bargains. The site is www.edwardrhamilton.com.

I'm currently reading Bledding Sorrow by Marilyn Harris. It's turning out to be a very, very depressing book--one of the rare ones I've read that I know the ending is not going to be a happy one. It's a good book, though it starts off slow.
I'm currently on "OotP" in the Harry Potter series (I'm slow, yes. LOL!), but I'm not going to finish that series until after I read the "Twilight" series, as the temptation to read "Twilight" is much too strong to delay reading it.
Happy MyLotting!

I am currently reading Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. It is the first of a series that actually has another series branched from it that I read before knowing about this one.

I'm reading "the Divine Secrets of the Yaya Sisterhood" right now. It's interesting.. Although not really a fast-paced book.
I liked Twilight (at least the one I read - the first one) but it just seemed like it was TOO lovey-dovey and TOO mushy. I just couldn't stand it after a while. The only action (not action as in the romantic way - I mean ACTION action!) , I remember, was at the end.

Hi Shaun. I am reading a very intersting novel called "Brimstone." It is a mystery novel, but also deals with the paranormal. The authors are Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I love reading!

Currently not reading anything other than my Chicken Soup for the Soul series, currently 3 of these, Unbreakable and another two - sorta just bought a new one before I even finished reading the first!
But sure, my friend LOVES Stephenie Meyer's books too! Sometimes she talks about it so much with me even I could go crazy lol

I just finished "The Pretend Wife" by Bridget Asher. It was a little slow in the beginning, but I loved it once it got going.
Breaking Dawn is a great read! Enjoy!
