Just finished Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, and started Dragon's of the Fallen Sun by Weis and Hickman ( I'll read anything they write.) also finishe dEragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Eragon is sooo much better than the movie.I'm in the third book, A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin. I really enjoyed reading The Thirteenth Tale. I like getting suggestions for books.

I am currently reading "The Boelyn Inheritance" by Phillipa Gregory...It is the sequel to "The Other Boelyn Sister"...My next up is either "The Thirteenth Tale" or "Water For Elephants".

Pixie,
I loved "A Long Way Down." Have you read any of his other books? "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy" are really good, too. I wasn't that thrilled with "How to Be Good." "Fever Pitch" was okay, but I just don't understand rugby all that well. (Nor, quite frankly, do I want to!)

Doreen,
Sorry it took me so long to respond but I just saw your question!
First of all, I spelled Lisey...it's Lissey. Okay, I feel better now.
Okay, now that's out of the way, I love this book. King dedicated this book to his with Tabitha. It's about a writer who has died and what his widow must deal with after his death. He was not a typical writer (like King) and what his wife has to deal with is the supernatural, of course.
It seems to me that King is gone full circle and coming back to his best writing as far as I'm concerned like "The Stand". Very entertaining and interesting because you can overtones of the relationship King must have with his wife. I think they've been married over 30 years!

If you love Stephen King you HAVE to read the Gunslinger series. Almost every book he's ever written is connected to it. If you admire his gift for writing now, you'll be astounded when you see how it all weaves together.
Lisey's Story was great, too.
BTW, the Outlander novels by Diana Gabaldon are fabulous. They're romance, history, science fiction, adventure, and drama all rolled into 6 or 7 seriously long books. If you try them, you'll be addicted.

I have not sat down with a book in several months--just too darn much going on lately. I have a little stack here that I've been meaning to read so I just need to pick one and get started.
Which one should I start with?
1. Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie
2. Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks
3. Night by Elie Wiesel

>I'm reading "Eleven on Top" by Janet Evanovich. Love these
>books!
I used to listen to all her books on audio at my old job, but since I don't have that luxury I actually read books again. Once I finish The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks, I am going to read #12 by Janet Evanovich. I can't think of the title.

I have Night on my bedstand right now, but I haven't gathered up the nerve to read it yet...I am sure it is going to be hugely depressing and I haven't been in the mood! It's one of those books I know I have to read, but I'm trying to work myself into it.
I did like Balzac, but it wasn't one of my favorites...
Good luck with your choices!
