    reading?

    What is everyone reading now? I am reading about polygamy. Two wives of one man wrote 2 different books about being married to him and being in this type marriage. I have finished one and I'm half way through the second one.
    Tell me about any good book you have read or are reading.

    I am reading "Green" by Ted Dekker. He's a Christian author and it is certainly a Christian fiction book, but man am I all confused. Maybe once I finish the other three books that go with it I'll understand it better.

    I've read the first of the trilogy but haven't read "Green" yet.

    I'm currently reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" because I have heard so many good things about "The Girl with the" books. I decided that I just had to start them.

    I just finished "Wish You Well" by David Baldacci and I absolutely loved it!!! It is a character story and not his typical suspense, drama, action books. I really recommend it!

    Once I finish with "The Girl with" series...I may download "Game of Thrones" which is the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series.

    Just finished James Patterson's 2 most current books..."Angel" and "Toys." I did have a couple books from the library but took them back because having cataract surgery on the 7th & 27th and won't be able to read until I get new glasses sometime in May. After that, will look for "Homer's Odyssey", "Buried Prey", "Live Wire" and "10th Anniversary" at my library.

    I just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo & will start The Girl Who Played With Fire today.
    I watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie, and HAD to read the book., the movie was SO good that I actually watched it twice. The book is very different from the movie.
    I also watched The Girl Who Played With Fire movie., and I hope the book is better, because the movie kinda fell flat.

    I wish I had the time to read. Heck I have magazines from last Fall that I haven't even taken the plastic wrap off of yet. I do miss reading though. I was always at the library. Now our local library...won't go there anymore. Right next to it is a minimal security halfway house & the residents congreate at the library. The town is trying to stop it but their hands are tied which is unfortunate. Before it would be difficult to get a parking space...now it is like a ghost town.

    I just got done with a Ted Dekker book called "The Boneman's Daughters" and it was really good, but creepy. This one is about a serial killer. I have read Green and was a bit confused by it.

    I am looking for another one to start.

    It's not a trilogy anymore... there's 4 books and Green can be read first or last... although it was written last, it was the first in the box set they came in so that's why I picked it first.

    That was a fantastic book! Burn was great too. Have you read anything by Frank Peretti? I think that's how it's spelled... he is along the same style as Dekker. I love his books.
