What are you reading?

American Lion, biography of Andrew Jackson by Jon Meacham. Excellent so far. I love biographies of Revolutionary and Civil War era figures (he's in between, but much of what happened in his era led to the Civil War).

I'm reading the Zombie Survival Guide.

I've got that sitting on my bookshelf waiting for a rainy day.

I've got the Zombie Survival Guide on my shelf as well. I peruse through it every now and then. There's a zombie movie coming out soon based on the book "Pride & prejudice & zombies." It should be interesting.

good book....weird but good

Right now, nothing. It's tough for me to read in the winter. Long hours, loud kids, and can't get outside because it's too cold. I did however just purchase A Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett for my beach trip in June. I have a trip coming up in about a month to Miami so I'll have to make a run to the book store. I'll probably pick up another Cross series book by James Paterson. Can't go wrong with that in my eyes.

I have this book and have read it twice.... Just seeing it mentioned on here makes me want to read it again. Great read as most of Jimmy's stuff is.

I've been reading The Rainmaker by John Grisham for the past few days. I like pretty much anything he writes, and I'm really liking this one. His novels are so much better than the movie adaptations.

Im a huge Grisham fan and have read a lot(I would say most but it seems like I find more and more all the time) The Rainmaker is another good one by Grisham. I just finished The Innocent Man. If you havnt read it I highly recommend it next.

I read that one a little while ago actually. It was a different sort of novel, obviously not quite Grisham-esque as it was a true story, but a good read and a sobering look at how justice can go so wrong.

I've been reading quite a few of his novels recently, and the more I read the more I appreciate his brand of story telling. I never would have thought a book about suing a pharmaceutical company could be interesting until I read The King of Torts, and I'll be damned if I couldn't put that one down.

I'm a huge Grisham fan as well but I just couldn't get through The Innocent Man.

That is a great one... I have a lot of his novels if there is one particular one you are looking for PM me and if I have it and have read it Ill send it to you...

Thanks for the offer. I usually just head down to the little used book store in my local library, they have a large selection of Grisham and the paperbacks go for $.50 each...needless to say, I walk away with an armload of books every time I go there and it doesn't set me back but $5...I love that place.

I get them the same way at a local book store I generally get the harbacks for like 2$. I couldnt agree more with you on The Innocent Man, it definitely steps out of the norm for Grisham but its a great read.

I just finished Stephen King's "Under the Dome" which was long, but I really enjoyed it. Last night, I started on Baldacci's "The Whole Truth" it seems pretty good so far. I've read all his books and I really like his style.

Reading Crais now. Robert Crais? Elvis Cole series and then onto Joe Pike series. Kind of dated in the beginning with people having to stop at gas stations to use payphones and all but I like his style. Keeps me wanting to read.

half way thru this..so far meh.

Crais in one of my go to authors. I you like him you will like C J Box. Box's main character is Joe Picket, a Montana game warden.I usually have 4 or 5 library books checked out a any given time.

Just finished NOS4A2, and now starting Horns, both by Joe Hill.

looking forward to sandman slim #6 --- The Getaway God.
already got it on reserve at the library, hoping they'll have it in next week.
