What are you reading?
- Thread starter IJ.
- Start date
Finally gave in to True Blood, so I'm reading the books. Two completely different worlds, lol, as these things tend to be. The books are nowhere near as NC17 rated, but still good. 
Entertaining way to pass the time, at least!
Entertaining way to pass the time, at least!Finished "Danse Macabre" (bit of a long slog as it's a bit dry in patches) and am going to start on King's "Fire Starter" tonight and alternate it with the Manual for TurboCad.
Got through the TurboCad manual and 20 pages of FS before conking out last night, will reread the manual a few times so it sinks in
Ugh. It's called "Everyone Worth Knowing," by the woman who wrote The Devil Wears Prada. I'd never read that book, only seen the movie (because where Meryl goes shall I follow), but .. if this is how it was written, I'm afraid I don't understand the acclaim, or why it was translated to film to begin with.
It should be renamed, "The Big Book of Cliches." We've got the "fabulous" gay uncle who thinks dinner parties are a science and worships brand names, the pushy, famous playboy who thinks he's God's gift to women, a main character who gained ten whole pounds during her 5 years as a bank associate, and "dropped them without even trying!" once she quit, the young French model . . . the author actually writes out her dialogue phonetically, so we can all see the accent.
It was a gym book, something I picked up at Good Will because it looked fluffy and harmless and entertaining enough to get me through a 50-minute power walk, but, for the first time, I may actually give up on a novel without finishing it. I just don't think I can stomach another page.

supra mania is my main reading material
i hope one day that reading will become more enjoyable to me but it always seemed like pulling teeth since grade school.

Really enjoying "Breathless" but had a side track last night into the "Toyota A340E,A340H AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION REPAIR MANUAL"
Finished "Breathless" and felt like there were 5+ missing chapters at the end
Started King's "Under the Dome" and got 4>5 chapters in and HAD to force myself to put it down and go to sleep at 2am

Finished "Under the Dome" if you liked the uncut version of King's "The Stand" you'll love "UTD" it was brilliant, I'll be rereading it in a month or so!

Finished that book a while back. It got a lot better once I was used to the new settings. I'm reading the second and final omnibus in this series "The Tamuli" by David Eddings. I'm about 150 pages into this one and it's pretty good, just finding it hard to make time to ready anymore.
Princep's Fury by Jim Butcher, book six of the Codex Alera. Most awesome author EVER. Just sayin'.
