Anyone interested in having an ongoing book recommendation thread? Kind of like the movie thread? I really enjoy everyone's opinions and recommendations, and I need new books to read. Just a thought.  |

Off the top of my head-"The Sex Lives of Cannibals" and "Lost on Planet China" both by same author-the first he lives for a year on a way remote island . The second is the culture of China from the inside. Funny travel diaries...the natives invite him to their drinking ritual where you can get blitzed for days. Oh and another travel book "Theres No Toilet Paper on the Road Less Traveled". Kind of an armchair traveler, don't plan to ever mountain climb or go to Siberia for real...wall climbing maybe...

I have Terry Goodkind's new one The Omen waiting for me on my ipod.
I'm a nerdy sort. When I get to 'town' I will stop and buy the book. Can't have one of his missing from my shelf!

Oh oh oh!!! I can't wait for that. I had an obsession with Rin Tin Tin when I was a kid. I even named my GSD Rinnie (VE's Rin Tin Tin of Petracca). |

Right now I'm reading The Watchers by Dean Koontz and as soon as I'm done with that I'll start White Trash Zombie. The last book I read was a memoir called The Buddha and the Borderline which I loved but that might have been because I could relate a little too much  |

There's one I'm halfway through called "Until Tuesday", I zoom into non-fict, bios, memoirs. This is a vet with PTSD...flashbacks of the literal face of the enemy lying on the ground...Tuesday is an assistance dog who's there for him. Got hooked from the first page.

I just finished Charlaine Harris' book Shakespeare's Champion. It's book 2 of an older series.
I thought about starting The Omen Machine, but I may need to re-read Chainfire first.
May save that for a cold crappy winter weekend.

Glad to see another Goodkind fan! I started reading Sword of Truth to Jason when he was having trouble sleeping and we rocked it for nearly three years! Talk about a journey! But now I've started something and I get to read to him nearly every night and every car ride. We're deep into Harry Potter now because he enjoys the movies but has never read the series.
This is an older one but got me out of my romance-novels-and-required-reading-only funk in high school: The Black Jewels Trilogy (or anything really) by Anne Bishop.
What other genres is everyone into?

I read just about anything. I haven't gotten into westerns though.

Almost any topic in nonfiction, wanted a triple major in English, poli science and women's studies so those plus animal books, music and travel are the first places I hit in a library or bookstore
