I read The Lovely Bones by Alice Slebold over winter break, and I thought it was a wonderful book. It's told from the perspective of a murdered 14 year-old girl. It's pretty emotional at times. I really enjoyed it. I don't recommend it for everyone though. It is a pretty emotional book.

What other books have you guys read lately?

I Read Hulk Hogan's Book not too long ago. Good Book

Right now Im reading the autobiography of Paul "Bear" Bryant, but the last good fiction book I read was The Summons by John Grisham.

I am reading Of Mice and Men. The Character Lennie makes me wanna cry I feel so bad for him! LOL pathetic eh? I am also buying Vivien Leighs biographies today and a few other bios that I want to read :)

"Roots". Its long but its really good. Also "a Child Called It", "The Lost Boy" and "A Man Named Dave" are all good books.

I joined The Literary Guild and one of the books I ordered was, "Among the Heroes" by Jere Longman. It's about Flight 93 that went down in Pennsylvania September 11th. It talks about everyone on that plane, including the main highjacker. It talks in detail about the events leading up to everyone's arrival at the gate to four or five months after the horrible tragedy. I really liked it. Jere Longman did a great job portraying everyone. It is extremely sad though, obviously. I almost broke down more than five times. But if you are interested in how these brave people saved another plane from crashing into another building, this is the book you should read.

I havent read a book in a while, just magazines. I started to read Random Acts Of Badness- The Danny Bonaduce Bio.. I think Ill start up again. O0o.. I also LOVE to read L&S and HD fanfic. I print them out and read them.

i'm in the midst of reading Chicken Soup for the Womans soul AND Practical Magic (which I might add is BETTER then the Movie it goes into MORE detail so for all You PM Lovers out there I suggest you get the book it will fill in ALOT of gaps)

The last two books I've read were Of Mice and Men for like the 3rd time and Prozac Nation.

OMG, I want to read that book. It sounded really cool.

I'm reading this book called Acts of Revision. It's about this psychotic guy who blames his misfortunes on his former teachers and sets out to get revenge on them. It's pretty good.

Yep, I read that also. Great book, but as you said, it's not for everyone. It made my aunt cry.

Prozac Nation.... by Elizabeth Wurtzel, correct? I've read that. Great book, in my opinion.

To the original question....I'm currently reading "Girl With The Pearl Earring" by uh...Tracey someone. Pretty good book.

Catch Me If You Can
By Frank W. Abagnale
With Stan Redding

It's a good book, it had a lot more details than the movie did. If you liked the movie I reccomend the book.

the last book i read was Misery. It was way weird.

Right now I'm reading "Angela's Ashes" for about the 3rd time, I love that book. I also just bought, "The Dark Side of the Game," which is a true story of what really goes on inside the NFL.

Yep, that's it, very good book. Isn't there supposed to be a movie coming out soon?

I haven't read any really good books recently. I'm getting some new books for my birthday though so hopefully they'll be good reads!

Yup. I believe it comes out on March 14. It's starring Christina Ricci. I don't think the critics are going for it though...

Cool. I'll have to check it out. It's worth it to watch it though. I mean I read The Virgin Suicides and then saw the movie and I love both and same goes for Girl, Interrupted. So who knows, maybe the movie will be good too. :wave:

I love Girl, Interrupted. It's my favorite movie. As for The Virgin Suicides, well that one was okay. I didn't care for it much...but I'll read the book, maybe that will be different

At the minute I'm reading Carrie by Stephen King, it's great so far. I read some of a child called it. Has anyone seen the film carrie? When I finish the book I want to see it, is it any good. Has anyone even seen the sequel?

Yeah, I think you'll like the book better than the movie. Although, I like both and the soundtrack! I listen to it everyday. :D

I agree, Carrie 2 is so much better! Love that soundtrack too. :)

I LOVE that book. It's so deep that it almost makes you feel like your Sylvia herself.

I also love her poems. "Tulips" is my favorite

I agree - 'The Bell Jar' left a massive impression on me.
If you enjoyed that book I strongly recommend you read 'Catcher In The Rye'.

Well I just finished reading The Great Gatsby and it was ok.

I had to study that for my 5th Year English class - I didn't enjoy it.
