I'm quite a bookworm, as i'm sure many other mallers are too, so I figured this might make for an interesting topic to just share what we are currently reading and recommend great reads. I myself am currently reading the woman in white for a bookclub I joined. Really enjoying it so far, I quite like classics, and was surprised when this book came up in the club as i'd never heard of it. I finished reading Dracula in swedish yesterday, didn't find it as enjoyable as I thought I would. Not sure whether it was because my swedish still leaves a lot to be desired or whether it really just wasn't so good. So what are you reading? or what have you read recently?

Oh, I do miss reading, but been oh so busy for like last almost 2 years it seems. Little one's do that to ya. =) The love and I were talking about making like 30 minutes before bed 'our time', where we just read and then talk and sleep. But have not really gotten around to it. I do love mysteries, any good ones? =D

I'm reading Both Sides of Time by Caroline B. Cooney. I loved these books when I was little, so I thought I'd read them again. They're pretty good books. :)

So what are you reading? or what have you read recently?[/quote] I am reading twilight hunger by Maggie Shayne...here is what it is about: When a struggling screenwriter Morgan Desilva uncovers the ancient leather diaries in the attic of an old house in Maine, she is swept into the seductvie world of a long dead madman who had believed himself a vampire. Now, though Dante's story had made her rich and famous, Morgan is wasting away. At night she dreams of him, an erotic fantasy so real she can see the bite marks on her neck, feel her life's blood draining from her. Almost as if it were real... He comes to her at night. Watching her. Wanting her. She is one of The Chosen. She can be his, if he desires. And he desires it so much that he is filled with terrible fear. He knows his kiss can save her from destiny's curse, and from the enemies who stalk them both. But to save her, he must trust her. With his life. With his love. With the promise of immortality. I found out this book has my name in it! It was amazing. I was a test subject, or so the book states. I love vampire novels =)

Just finished The Sound and the Fury for English which was good but depressing. Currently reading Macbeth and a trashy paperback. xD

Terry Goodkind books (the sword of truth series) are my favourite. I'm currently still reading Faith of the Fallen though. Hopefully one day I'll have read them all.

Oh wow lots of fast responses :P Mystery books, hhhmm... I haven't read many mystery books in sometime so I can't really recommend any good ones. Well there is a couple. For starters the book i'm reading right now is a mystery book, an old one, but is a good read so far all the same. Unlike many classics, it is actually really easy to read, no difficult language or anything like that. Another good mystery is in a swedish book which has been translated to english as "The girl with the dragon tattoo" by Steig Larsson. It has an amazing mystery in it. An old man hires a journalist to investigate a murder that happened in the family many years ago (May have been 15 or more, I can't remember exactly). Anyhow he believes a family member was behind it so the journalist investigates. There is many sub plots in it too. A warning however, this book is not for the faint hearted. There is a very graphic rape scene in there. As for the finding time to read, 30 minutes before bed sounds a good idea. You could also switch that to maybe setting an alarm 30 minutes earlier in a morning and reading then. ___________ [color=gray]Kirsty, aka evil super mod[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, restocker Silverdragon siggy stealer Best wearables shop owner ever![/i][/size]

Bayou Farewell. It's about the disappearing wetlands in Louisiana - why, how, etc. I've got to write a research paper on it, but I'm still enjoying it. :P

Indeed LOL. I still got a crapload of marketing stuff to read as well. Would be nice to actually read a "real" book for once
