What Book Are You Reading?

[catlover79]

I'm currently rereading one of my all-time favorites, Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It is a novel about a devout Christian farmer named Michael who obeys God's orders to marry a beautiful but bitter prostitute. I highly recommend this book...I stayed up all night reading it the first time. I just couldn't put it down!!!!

Look who the cat dragged in (sorry about the pun) :lol: It is nice to see you posting in this thread, Monika. It sounds like a interesting book. :)

[Kristen]

I'm rereading an old favorite, too, Monika. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. I've read it like a bazillion times before, but I'm sucked in all over again, hehe. I def. recommend it. (The movie Simon Birch was loosely based on it. The movie's good, but the book is WAY better!)

It is!! It is actually based on the Old Testament book of Hosea, except the novel takes place in 1850s California during the Gold Rush. I LOVE the pioneer era, which is one of the many reasons I love this book!! :D

Catlover79, thanks for helping me pick out the next book I'm going to read. That sounds interesting. And I hate love stories. lol.

I just got done reading 'If Democrats had any brains, they'd be Republicans' by Ann Coulter. To any conservative: a must-read. If you liked Ann's other stuff, you'll like this one. She even tells who she favors in the '08 election.

[catlover79]

Two books I meant to read last year when I bought them I am finally reading. :lol: I'm about half way through the Tina Yothers' book and I just started the Family Ties' book. I set both aside last year, but they got forgotten about. Sometimes setting things aside can backfire. :) The Tina Yothers one I had read the first few pages of last year before it was set aisde to be read later on that day or the next, but obviously not meant to sit for this long. :lol: The other book I had not started reading yet.
Wow, I didn't even know Tina Yothers had written a book. :cool:

[catlover79]

She wrote it when she was only 13 years old. The book is meant for pre-teen girls and young teenage girls. It's way below my reading level, but it's still good. It's called Being Your Best A Guide For Girls by Tina Yothers (Copyright 1987).
Thanks for that info, Jenny. :cool:

It's pretty impressive that she had a book published at 13. I recently went back and read a review that I wrote on the Led Zeppelin biography Hammer of the Gods by Stephen Davis in high school, and I was almost embarrassed at how poorly it was written. I received a B on it, but I could write a much better review now. And I was 17 when I wrote it.

Killing Time by Linda Howard

The book is good, but it's very weird. I don't typically read books that are sci=fi and set in different centuries. This book takes place in 1985, 2005, 2085, and 2207..


This book reminds me a little of Back To The Future Part II, which was set in three different timelines. It sounds like an interesting book, though I have never heard of a science fiction writer named Linda Howard before. Of coruse, it isn't like I knew the name of every single science fiction writer who was ever born. :lol:

[Shine]

That sounds like a great book, Jenny. I'll have to read it at one point. I have so many books to read right now. I recently finished a great book on the social history of Midieval England. I'm currently finishing up a wonderful book called Redeeming Love, which Monika recommended. Monika also recommended another book called For What It's Worth that I ordered from a Christian bookstore that I plan to read. I also have a DS9 book, another book on England history, and a recent biography of the Beatles to read. Also, Stephen King has a new novel coming out tomorrow.

I love Memory Keeper's Daughter!! Great book. Feel free to PM me if you'd like to talk about it. :)

I'm REALLY close to finishing Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I def. recommend it. It's about a Columbine-like high school schooting. Very hard to put down. It reminds me a lot of something you might see on Law & Order, hehe.
