Just finished 'The Great Book of Amber' and 'Roger Zelazny's Alien Speedway Book 1 Clypsis' by Jeffery A. Carver.

Any suggestions for the next one?

If you are laughing out loud at the book, be sure to watch the movie version (out on DVD) - it stays true to the book - and is funny!

Too bad we can't do this by genre.

Or do you guys all know what everyone likes?

ChaosInc · 06-07-2009, 12:47 PM

I guess just looking at the names and authors of who they have read would be a start. After that? who knows?

My daughter has an iPaq. Don't know what series though. I don't think she uses it for reading but shes a librarian. Probably sees enough books

I'm finishing up with Vision In White by Nora Roberts. For those who like contemporary romance, I highly reccomend this book. Not sure what it will be next. But it will definitely be an ebook. Definitely another romance.

Forgot to mention, I finished the Pliocene Exiles series (by Julian May) last week, and moved on to the next one: Intervention.

Unfortunately, both these books available only in paper format. While not my first choice in reading formats, some books are worth the inconvenience.

I tried reading that while in the UK (where everyone seemed to LOOOOOOVE Pratchett, but I just couldn't get into it...if you highly recommend I may make another attempt.

Finished Clapton and was a wee bit disappointed in the ending...maybe he became too normal in his life and I felt I had lost the mystique of the bad-boy musician?

Getting into Lisa See's newest one, Shanghai Girls and I am loving it. It takes place in a different setting with a bit different character group than her past (and most others') Asian culture books. I'm looking forward to her 'speak & sign' at The Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale on the 28th!

In general, you either love Pratchett - or you just don't get why people who do love him do love him - I think it's because what people think is funny varies so much between individuals.

I will say that I am finding this book an interesting read.
I've not read any of his books before. His style is different.

It was hard getting my mind around the story........but am glad I kept reading. There is so much happening, on so many levels, you really have to pay attention.

I"m not sorry so far.....

lilac_jive · 06-09-2009, 10:05 AM

I'm reading "Once Bitten Twice Shy" by Jennifer Rardin, last month's $1 Orbit promo book. Just started, so no comments on it yet.

sunsetsylvia · 06-09-2009, 10:42 AM

Measuring the World by Daniel Kehlmann

I agree, plus it's British humor and it takes me a bit to gt my head wrapped around it. Took me a few episodes to "get" Red Dwarf although it only took a second to "get" Billy Connolly!
