Did you know that Superior Saturday is already out!?!? I had no idea until I went to go pre-order Breaking Dawn, so I ordered that to. Have you read it, and if so, is it as good as the rest.

[Mimzy]

No, I haven't read it yet!!! I'm actually kind of behind in the series But I SO have to buy it now

I finished The Time Traveler's Wife a few days ago. It's a beautiful book and I teared up a few times.

Now I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's "The Road". Now that's a bleak and depressing book so far and I don't see how it could become any less bleak as it goes on. It's very beautifully written though and I am ripping right through it.

Somehow, I always feel like I'm being a sheep by reading an "Oprah" book club book. But she does recommend some very good novels.

GREAT book! I think I went through that one in a day and a half, it really is meant to be read in just a few sittings.

Has anyone read Garth Nix's The Ragwitch? It's so weird, but I love it...although I never finished b/c I'm terrible with library books and due dates I need to borrow it again

I did the exact same thing with that book.....except I never even got around to starting it. So no, haven't read it.

That's the one downside to library books.....three weeks isn't very long if you have a stack of them.

That's sitting on my dining table, waiting to be read.

Oh Lord! They're making a movie out of "The Road" too. It stars Viggo Mortenson and Charlize Theron

Spoiler:

as the wife in flashbacks

. It's supposed to come out near the end of the year.

I'm afraid.

[ToasterOnFire]

Huh. I saw that book as more philosophical, gentle, and slow. If they turn it into a movie there's a very good chance it will become a huge action flick...

Has anyone read. "Thursday Next " by Jasper Fforde? I saw it at the book store, and it looked interesting, but want a review from someone before I buy it.

Those books are epic. Read em if you like weird, funny, books, or have a pulse.

Any of the above is recipe for enjoying these.

But make sure you've read Jane Eyre BEFORE you read the first one, or at least are familiar with the plot/how it ends, or the most hilarious (and huge plotwise) thing will go right over your head. I think that's the only necessary prerequisite.....

Thanks for the info. I will get them, and I am familiar with Jane Eyre.
So there are more books? I will have to find the first and start there before I read the Thursday one. thanks for letting me know. I usually only read one or two sentences of the cover synopsis, so I don't ruin the book, so I didn't know there were more.
