I have a couple of books on the go at the moment, "Wandering Star" by Le Clezio, ( very evocative, well written and poignant), "The Ascent of Man" by Bronowski, and the wonderful "Timebends" , Arthur Miller's autobiography.
I'm reading I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. I've had it since it came out and am finally reading. So far .
Give feedback on that book if you could I had bought it some time ago but still haven't sat down and read it. I bought it because I loved his book "She's Come Undone"

I have that one too - haven't read that one yet though. I will do my best to let you know. I still have about 600 pages to go and 3 kids, so I don't get through books as fast as I'd like.
I saw this thread and thought I should jump in, since I am just now gaining enough free time from less time consuming college classes to read again!
I just finished the entire Twilight series in about two weeks and absolutely LOVED them. Something about them just really grabbed me...I'd say Twilight and Breaking Dawn are my favorites followed by Eclipse and New Moon. But I really want to read them again, because I'm afraid that since I read them so quick I didn't pay as much attetion to detail as I would have liked (especially in New Moon, b/c it was my least favorite and I just wanted to get to Eclipse!). I think it is funny b/c I have NEVER gotten into books that are series...not Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings...nothing that was popular when I was in high school...now I'm a senior in college and can't get enough of Twilight lol. I find it fascinating how different books/series attract different people.
So, currently I'm reading Wuthering Heights by Bronte, which I find to be a slow read...but I'm doing it! On my shelf I have Marley and Me, The Other Boleyn Girl, Pound for Pound and two Jane Austen books...Emma and Mansfield Park. I want to finish all of those by the end of summer...but I'm probably going to put a few of them on hold and read the Twilight series again like I said before. I'm also thinking about reading her book The Host though I'm not sure what it's about...
The other recent books I've read are The Notebook and The Lovely Bones (Alice Seabold). I really enjoyed both.
Marley & Me was great but grab the tissue box as you get toward the end
Twilight...my DIL & Grand daughter rave about the series...I tease them and tell them Edward is not a REAL vampire as he is out in daylight....now Lestat that was a vampire ...lol
I read I Know this Much is True 10+ years ago. Think I read it twice. It was really good, and did not even seem to be by the same author as She's Come Undone (which I also liked). My mom also liked it, I want to read it again.
Had to pick up some books that the library had on request, so I had to put the Eight on hold and start reading the new "plum spooky" need a good laugh and quick read right now!
