What Kind of Books Do You Read?

[boopie1969]

I was just wondering what kinds of books does everyone here read?

I like books about vampires and some romance novals. Right now I'm reading the book "Son of a Witch" It's the second book to "Wicked" which is about the Wicked Witch of the West and how she became who she was. Really cool book.

I also read the Carpathian series and the other series by Christian Feehan. They are so good. she has a website if any of you would like to check her books out. You can read the first chapter of all her books there. The carpathian's are sort of vampires searching for the thier soal mate. But they have to hunt the vamipre, which used to be Carpathians before they turned. It's a really awesome series.

i read mostly military history books on world war two.

[livingbooper]

I've been really bad about reading lately but I used to read a lot of mysteries.

Right now I have bought a study Bible and I am going to do some biblical reading. I was brought up catholic and you study catacism but they don't go into Bible study. I am doing this on my own.

I've got a couple of books I need to finish which are fantasy literature, about kings and knights, lords and ladies that were given to me.

[boopie1969]

I really enjoy Nora Roberts. Have you read any of hers?

No I've never read any of her books.

[boopie1969]

might have to go check one of those out.

[Candlesnboop]

If you enjoy mysteries Mary Higgins Clark writes some great suspence drama mysteries she will leave you haning till the end. Her newest book is "Two girls in blue," I have yet to start it but I have it to start reading. Austin has a long weekend this weekend it starts today. Yikes.

[livingbooper]

I'll have to check that one out.

I bought "The Red Dragon" and still have to read that one. It's the first in the Hannibal Lector trilogy... Silence of the Lambs is the second.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey this is a great thread! I don't know how I missed it before now! Good topic!!

My husband and I both enjoy reading. And our subject matter is pretty diverse.

We read both non-fiction and fiction.

[Sally77]

Dean Koontz is my fave right now. I have read most of his books, have to get to the library and get Brother Odd.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Sally!!

I'm not familiar with Dean Koontz... what are his books about?

thanks!:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi glitterpinkice... welcome to the forum!!

I'm always glad to see new members join the forum and happy to hear that you like to read books too!

I don't read much fantasy but I did just read an intriguing book called

The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst

It's a novel of astonishing and lasting power... a story of marriage, survival and devotions that lies too deep for words.

It's about a man who returns home one day to find that his wife has died under strange circumstances. The only witness is their dog, whose anguished barking brought help to the scene... but it was too late.

In the days and weeks that follow, he finds "clues" in their home. Reeling from grief, he is determined to decipher this evidence and unlock the mystery of her death. But he can't do it alone... he needs his dog's help. He decides to teach his dog to communicate what she knows....

(It's quite intriguing and I think all dog lovers will enjoy this book!)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Current book by Bernard Goldberg: Arrogance Rescuing America from the Media Elite

Next book I plan to read is by Patrick Buchanan: Where The Right Went Wrong

My book reviews will follow!!

Wow, Christine Feehan! I love her Drake sister's novels. They are all withcie-witches with different powers. I'm a little slow and have only gotten to Dangerous Tides... They're good... I can't wait to have the time to get back into them. Ofcourse, I could sacrifice the time spent on this computer :-(. NOT, LOL!
After the Drake Sisters, I could read her Carpathian series, then her Dark Series. Yup, I'll be reading through the year 2020. That's how slow I am at reading, but I do enjoy her books a lot. Glad to hear you like her too boopie1969!!!

GLITTERPINKICE: You might enjoy any one of these series. Check them out on her web and you can decide where to start. Good Luck!

Oh, another fan of hers awesome. The Carpathian series is the Dark series. and let me tell you they are GREAT!!! I've read them all, twice. I enjoy her books so much that when a new one is realesed I'm usually finished with it in about 2 to 3 days.

The Ghostwalker's series is wonderful as well, and her Leopard series. I've read all of her books and am a big fan, can you tell. lol

No problem, and yes I have read the Ghostwalker series. They're pretty darn good.

Well after 2020 Christine Feehan may have more books out, so you should be able to read past that year. lol

These sound great! I must check it out myself. Barnes and Noble here I come!

[bettyboopfan]

I love to read Nicholas Sparks....he is wonderful....always a tear jerker with his books!! I also love Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, and I have read every book of LuAnne Rice. LOVE HER!! I don't care much for "scary" books....lol. I am a super chicken. I will read just about anything that grabs my attention. I read all the time!! I am always reading something from the newspapers to magazines to books to the TV. When it is just me at home I will turn the caption on on the TV just so I have something to read....lol.

[boopie1969]

Oh you'll love them.

The books by Christine Feehan aren't scary. They're a romance novel. The first one in the series of the Dark series that is, is "Dark Prince" I think you would like it.

[Candlesnboop]

I was totally in to the scary books an movies in High school. I read Carrie, an watched the movie wasn't as good as the book though!

I am not in to those anymore, neither romance novels either, its a must I read Mysteries!!


Who else likes mysteries? Anyone heard of Lilian Jackson Braun? She is pretty good! Also Mary Higgines Clark!!

[Candlesnboop]

Although I do enjoy a few of Nora Roberts books every now an then when she has a mystery with the romance!

I want to read her flower triliogy! :D:D:D:D

Good one Candlesnboop. I've heard those are real good. Does Nora have a website? A friend gave me her circle triliogy, but I haven't read them yet. Still working on my Drake Sisters from Feehan.

Have you read that triliogy?

[Candlesnboop]

My mother has two out of three of the flower series an yet to start them! When I talked to her last she said that she would get to reading them !! That way she could et them to me!! I can't wait!

[boopie1969]

sounds like i need to check those books out.

[Bikerbettyboop]

I'm almost done with my latest book... I'm sort of bored with it... it's about the news media...

[leboop448]

I like the Alex Cross series written by James Patterson.

Also the Patricia Caldwell books. Psych thrillers mostly.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Some of those psych thrillers can be pretty intense and exciting... make me sit on the edge of my seat sometimes... how about you?

[richard kolasch]

Bunny likes Sue grafton books and john grisham.

[livingbooper]

Yes, definately. And most of them are much better than the movies. You get to feel the emotions of the charecters...

[Aminal]

I'm into Science Fiction and Horror Books though I won't pass up a good Historical Novel. HP Lovecraft,Issac Asimov and Ann Mcaffery ( the Pern Series) as well as Frank Herbert are among my favorite authors :D

Ahhh... Frank Herbert... The Dune series... that was great science fiction!

[boopie1969]

My hubby reads all those books. And when they come out on the Sci-Fi channel we always watch them.

I just picked the newest Ghostwalker book today. Came out on Tuesday. Should be a good one as usual.

[livingbooper]

Hey Lizzy.. do you want to read "The Dogs of Babel"? Don finished it.. if you want to read it, I'll send it you.
What's that book about? Is it fiction?

Right now I am reading "The Dog Whisperer" to help me train my puppy to be the best dog he can be.;) :)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Living Booper... did you finish the Dog Whisperer yet? Did you like it? I just finished reading "The Lighthouse" by Eugenia Price.. interesting book about life in Georgia in the early years of America.

[livingbooper]

I'm still working on it. I've been so busy at the house. I've brought it to work to read during the slow times. It has great info in it and will be a big help in training Miki Nanuq. This week I put a collar on him and introduced him to the leash. He doesn't like the leash at all, but I am putting him on it for short intervals.

I finally picked up my birthday present from my mom. She bought me 3 books in addition to angel-cat earrings. I've brought one of them to work. It's called "for one more day" written by Mitch Albom. Apparantly this is part of a series.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Sounds like your book will be helpful with your training. My dog is 6 years old and she "still hates being on a leash" it's a battle when we take her anywhere on a leash. She is used to running around all our property and so she thinks she's being punished when she's on a leash.

Did I tell you about the Dogs of Babel book? I'll send it to you if you're interested in reading it.. it's a fiction story about a man who tries to communicate with his dog.. it's interesting.. unusual...
