You could finish HG in about 2-3 days of reading. Super quick reads.

Yep, they were written as Young Adult.

I just got done reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" Stieg Larsson good thriller!

oh tuck- I definitely did NOT like these books I read the first one and was bored. The seconding had Lisbeth (victim of sexual abuse) - initiating sex with a sixteen year old. It was so inconsistent with her character, if I could have thrown a book - I would ave smashed it against the wall. :pissed: But instead since I can't throw a kindle, I lefts negative review on Amazon's site. I read 1/3 of the book 2 and stopped.

if you want suspense and crazy killers, try Chelsea Cain's series - starts with "heartsick" and has 3 more. They are based in Portland and a very addicting read. :thumup:

Hunger Games downloaded and ready to go!

Finished The Player of Games a few weeks ago.

Just finished "The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson. Excellent book, science fiction, nanotechnology focus. Very thought provoking.

Am reading "Red Mars" by Kim Stanley Robinson. For some reason, I never read this one.

I'm reading Theft of Swords by Michael Sullivan. It's ok-ish. Not so long ago I finished up the Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erickson. Probably the best books I have ever read in the genre.

I'm looking for something good to read. Any new suggestions?

Scrum - that book we were discussing wasn't all that sad and depressing. It was a story of a sad childhood, with lots of "history" about China over the last 60 years. It was okay, nothing I'd really recommend as a great read, though.

Good to hear, FB. Maybe I'll try to find it in the library.

An old favorite of mine that you might like (you are in the healthcare field, aren't you?)...

The Blood of Strangers: Stories from Emergency Medicine

by Frank Huyler.

Great bunch of short stories from the emergency room.

I went with The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins.

Thanks for the other suggestion, Scrum. I'll take a look at that. I'm not in the medical field anymore, but it is my ultimate goal.

[Scrumhalf]

Great choice! If you like that, also try God is not Great by Christopher Hitchens.

[FitnessBrat]

Ahh, How Religion Poisons Everything. I looked at that, too. They both have about equal reviews. We'll see how I do :P

Yall goin to hell readin them devil books.

[Scrumhalf]

Speaking of the devil's work, here is another of Hitchen's books that knocks down a "saint" a few hundred notches. Great read, lays out the pernicious effects of self-promoting religious fundamentalism, especially in the context of taking advantage of a vulnerable audience. Being from the country where this occurred, I fully endorse Hitchens' viewpoint.

As the Sunday Times said, it is "a dirty job but someone had to do it."
