Just finished "The Namesake" and I really liked it!

I'm going to start Greg Iles "The Quiet Game". I've never read anything by him but I'm not sure if I'm going to enjoy this one. Chat Icon

I read this over the summer. It was GREAT! I've probably read 8 or 10 books by Greg Iles since May. That should tell you how much I enjoy him as an author.

How did you like this? I picked it up and got about 50pgs into it and put it down. Didn't interest me at all.

Same with Atonement - having a hard time getting into it.

Not eroxgirl (obviously Chat Icon) but I didn't understand the purpose of this book at all. I was surprised that it got such rave reviews.

That's how I feel - "what's the point?".

I don't get the story...and question if there really is one Chat Icon

The Crimson Petal and the White

It's really long. I am about 550 pages in and it is losing my interest, but I feel like I need to finish it.

The Absitnense Teacher by Tom Perotta. A very good book that makes you think (similar to Jodi Piccoult) about a high school health teacher and what can and cannot be taught to our kids in public school. Could not put it down the other night.

HATED IT! It bored me. It literally put me to sleep. I didn't actually finish it and I can count on one hand the number of books I've started that I haven't finished, whether I've liked them or not. I got to the very end (I think I have about 30 pgs left) but I was reading it for my book club and hadn't finished it by the time of the meeting, and since then have had no desire to read the rest.

My book club was left with the same question - why is this book winning awards? I think it's because of the 50 cent words throughout. Chat Icon

Although I did take note of the use of 'normality' instead of the more common and incorrect 'normalcy.' This makes Claire Massud one of 3 people who are aware of this...my father and I are the other two. Chat Icon
