I am reading Dragonfly in Amber - book 2 in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. I read the first one a few years ago, but am just now getting around to picking them up again. Has anyone read the series?

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of The Window and Disappeared, by Jonas Jonasson

Loving it! Funny and clever, it's about a man who decides to start life over on his hundredth birthday and also reveals his Zelig-like past. Recommended!

I'm still reading book 2 in the Outlander series. The books are long, but good reads!

Just started The Robber Bride, by Margaret Atwood. I love it. Her writing is so expressive and human, and always hilarious. If you haven't read The Blind Assassin, you must go find a copy!

I just finished a book called "Dreams of Joy" by Lisa See. It was a sequel to her book "Shanghai Girls" Both were very good, but also sort of depressing.

I love Lisa See! Read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, Shanghai Girls, Peony in Love and Dragon Bones. Dreams of Joy is the next one I'll pick up. Snow Flower is still my favorite thus far (though the movie sucked).

I wish I could read a book in a day. I'm just not a fast reader.

It's easy to read certain books fast. I'm currently on Night Train to Lisbon, by Pascal Mercier - a bit of a slog.

Pratchett is a very smooth read. Plus I had all day between getting my rush ticket and actually seeing the show (minus time spent watching a movie)

I bought Gore Vidal's memoir "Palimpsest" after his recent death and am partway through. And I was just given "Butterfly in the Typewriter," a biography about John Kennedy Toole (author of "A Confederacy of Dunces"), which I started reading today.

Reading WHO GOES THERE?, the novella that the various versions of THE THING were based on. Interesting, speedy read.
