what are you reading?

---

As simple as telling us what you are currently reading and what you think of it.

I'm kind of a nerd and am in a book club. It's been over a year and a half and we started off really strong by reading really GREAT books and sadly they've shifted gears and keep bringing the same crap to the table.

In the past few months we've read:
50 Shades of Grey
Beautiful Disaster
The Edge of Never
and now Captive in the Dark.


They all have the same theme. Woman being dominated by men. Women being weak and if its not the main female character they are considered sluts/whores. Most of these books are dubbed "Mommy porn" and apparently are great for your sex life because they turn you on....maybe I'm dead inside cuz I didn't get that feeling. I thought the books were all horribly written, stupid story lines, and just didn't make very much sense.

I also find it appalling that a bunch of 30 year old married women want to read this type of smut month after month. Sure its not bad to read it once in a while but c'mon man. Maybe their sex lives suck donkey balls and need to turn to written porn to get them off?

I dunno.

What are you reading?!

I'm reading a Nora Roberts book titled "River's End". I usually read this kind of stuff when I'm waiting on my books to arrive from the online store. It's very average and very Nora Roberts, so I'm not entirely impressed, but I know what to expect, so it's all good.

Ugh. I'm still reading "A Casual Vacancy" because I have no reading discipline. It's been over a month...

I really need a gripping book to read on my commute to work... so if anyone wants to throw out some suggestions then go for it ;).

As you can tell, I'm currently reading nothing!

I just started this book called "Girls of No Return". It's about a group of girls at a boarding school for delinquents. I just started, so I barely know enough yet.

I'm re-reading To Kill A Mockingbird right now. The first time I read it was in school for GCSE English, and I've loved it ever since. It's my favourite book!

To Kill A Mockingbird was one of my favorite books. I think its one of those books that needs tob e read at a certain time of your life to appreciate it. Like, I don't think a 40 year old man or woman could read it and feel the same way as a 14-15 year old person.

Lee, I think you would enjoy the book "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. It's a real mindfuck!

I just finished Every Day by David Levithan. It was good, but kind of disappointing at the same time. I was expecting more. Or at least, something else based on the summary...

The Tenth Circle - Jodi Picoult
A Clash of Kings - G R R Martin
Star Trek - ? can't remember who it's by, but it's the book for the 2009 film.

I have this habit of starting a book and reading it, and then putting it down and starting another one and reading them together, but not right at the same time.

I have loved every single Jodi book I have read. She makes me cry all the time. Also one of the few authors that makes me want the bad guy to win.
