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 read some of Angels and Demons myself when it came out. I don't think I finished reading this book though for some reason. I did see the movie though it was really interesting. They both sounds really intresting

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 am really enjoying these books so far. I am almost finished with the tired book. I have read a little bit of this same book that you are reading. It is a pretty interesting book and the movie was good.

I got bored with this book (it's too long and detailed) so i've put it down for a bit. I'll probably finish it later this summer. - 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 think my favorite in New Moon becuse it adds more to it besides Edward there i also Jake and his family. I can't wait to see the movie.

Let's see if your favorite is still New Moon after you read all four. Breaking Dawn is good.

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.

That sounds really interesting espically if it is by a friend that you personally know.

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.

That sounds pretty funny. I have never thought about their feet freezing.I guess because I live in Florida and where I live it hardly ever snows.

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.

Yeah I just recently cancelled a couple of book clubs myself. I have bought a few books from amazon. If you can get books at a discount that is worth doing. Anyway to save espically now days.

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!

That sounds like a interesting book. I am looking forward to seeing the New Harry Potter movie myself. The books are great also.Twlight was pretty good and the books after it so far are good.

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.

I enjoyed reading both of these books myself. I liked the books after twilight myself.
