What Are You Reading?



Recommended Posts

Laura, yes!! I love his books. I need to re-read She's Come Undone, I read it years ago when it was on Oprah's Book Club in the 90s but I remember loving it. I most recently read "The Hour I First Believed" which I thought was just incredible too. Have you read it yet? I'm going to look for the prison book you mentioned. He also has a new hardcover release, I just had it in my hand the other day at the bookstore but instead I went with "One Summer" by Bill Bryson which is non-fiction. The new Wally Lamb is called "We are Water". Anyway, I have already said, but to answer the thread -- I am reading "One Summer: America 1927" by Bill Bryson which I am enjoying very much so far. :) :) :)

Yes I've read that one too! It's a great book as are all of his books that I've read.

I was hesitant at first to read the York prison books because they were not "fiction" per se..

But I'm so glad I did!

"We are water" I just looked it up and put it on my nook :)

I know, the movies are never as good. I own every book in the Plum series - even the between the numbers ones - LOVE them. You would prolly like her other books though. I love her sense of humor and she writes the same in all of them.

The Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes books or really good. I think it's 3 they wrote together.

Here are some fiction books I have been reading in the last 2 months or so:

Dan brown - Inferno (I like them all)

John grisham - Sicamore row (next read)

Gilligan Flynn - Gone girl (current)

Richard Preston - the cobra event (similar to the hot zone)

David baldacci- first family

Stephen king - the stand (oldie, but writing is excellent)

When I am looking for something to read, I like to get on the kindle store and look at what is "popular," but being careful to avoid the mommy porn which always ends up near the top of the list. If I am unfamiliar with the author, but it still sounds intriguing, I will first download the sample.

I also like Stephen Frey and Joseph finder; these are mainly wall street, litigation and corporate based fictions. Page turners for me, but you have to be into those genres.

I also read some non fiction mostly related to fitness ( cross fit auto biographies for example), but these will be fairly boring to most. :)

I am not into fantasy or sci fi genres. Will not go near the vampire stuff and do not understand the trending towards them in last few months. Hopefully it is a fad to end soon.

I found Gone Girl quite intriguing. I read Dark Places after that, hoping to find it equally good, and I don't know, it just seemed like murder and mayhem and unhappiness just to make a story out of it. Not sure if I'll read any more of her stuff or not.

Stephen Frey looks intriguing I might try one.

I just reread Gone Girl. Looooove that book.

Just finished Sycamore Road. It was a good read.

The Stand is a kickass King book. If you haven't yet, I suggest 11/22/63 by King.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
