I'm reading 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.' I saw the movie about two weeks ago and I was interested in what the movie missed so I got the book.
What are you reading? It doesn't have to be book. It can be magazines, kid's books... anything.
-
@bluestriped bee: How was the movie? I loved the books and enjoyed the Swedish version of the film, but didn't get a chance to check out the new version in theaters...
I'm reading parenting books these days... nothing too interesting alas.
-
The book series is really good! Hard to start, but once you get past the first 100 pages or so, it's addicting!
I've downloaded the Game of Thrones series, but I haven't been able to get into it!
-
I'm currently reading Thursday Next: First Among Sequels by Jasper Fforde.
-
@mrbee: I heard from people who read the book first that it's really confusing and hard to follow in the beginning but since I saw the movie, I understand it all. I think it's the only book that benefited from watching the movie first.
-
@mrsjyw: agh I am obsessed with that series! The books are so good!
-
I stopped reading The Girl with the Dragon tattoo because I couldn't get into it in the first chapters. Maybe I'll pick it up again. I've been working my way through Game of Thrones (so long!), but I took a break and started reading Blackout by Connie Willis on a coworker's recommendation.
-
I'm reading Fall of Giants by Ken Follet - it's looooong and I hbe been chipping away for months. I have read a few other short books in between (mostly pregnancy books).
-
I am reading the No Cry Sleep Solution! I also have the Hunger Games I need to start and Nourishing Traditions
-
I'm not reading anything! Just online blogs and the bible!
-
I read magazines my mom brings me. Latest were Disney family fun and better homes and gardens.
-
@joyjoy: I'm having the same trouble with Game of Thrones! Stick with the GWDT! It took me a few months of picking up and putting it down before I got sucked in, but then I read all three back to back!!
-
@hilsy85: I'm trying really hard to get into it! I bought the first four books as a package on my kindle, so I really need to get into it;;; esp so I can watch the tv series!!!
-
Chasing Fire, the second in the Hunger Games books. Almost done, it's hard to put these books down!
-
@mrbee: oh my goodness, we saw the swedish versions of those movies as well. Their rating system is a bit different than ours!
I'm reading Killing Lincoln. Great book.
-
I'm waiting for my husband to finishe the hunger games before i start the second book. While he's reading that il reading The Elephant in the Room which is a book about tv viewing and children
-
Now it seems like parenting books/mags/blogs. I plan on starting the Hunger games on my maternity leave.
-
@joyjoy: It took me several attempts to get into the first book, but once I did, I couldn't stop. I flew through the 2nd and 3rd.
Right now I'm reading "The Things They Carry," by Tim O'Brien. It was recommended by a friend. It's ok. It's about the Vietnam War.
-
I am1/2 way done with the last book in the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series.oget confused on the names of all of them.i still haven't seen the movie yet, but I plan to soon!
-
I also started reading the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo after I saw the US version of the movie... but I haven't been able to get into it! And then I got sidetracked...
We just recently watched the first season of the Game of Thrones TV series and I got hooked (even though I didn't expect that at all!), so I am currently reading the second book. My husband had loaned his copy of the first book to his dad but had the second and subsequent ones on Kindle, so that's why I started there. So far, I don't really feel like I needed anything from the first book that I didn't pick up from the first season of the show. I have also heard that the first Game of Thrones book is hard to get into at first, but if you stick with it for the first few hundred pages, you'll be hooked (when I heard that, I thought, why on earth would someone "stick with" a book for several hundred pages if they couldn't get into it sooner? But now that I am well into the second book, I totally get it -- it's worth it!).
Otherwise, I read Hellobee of course
-
@mrsjyw: series is excellent and I loved the books! It's a bit of a time commitment, but once I got into it (and figured out all of the characters) I was hooked. Agree that it takes a few hundred pages, but if you read all of the books it's like 5,000 pages!
I am listening to Atlas Shrugged right now. ( had a tough time sticking with the book ) --- just finihed Bossy Pants when ignoring Atlas - Tina fey is so funny.
Read hunger games & dragon tattoo books ---- need a new series!! Any reco's?? I commute via train so lots of reading time.
: -
Oh! Just saw Bringing Up Bebe in the store, may get it -- anyone read it?
-
I am reading a back issue of Martha Stewart living magazine.
