Here you have 'em. If you have books to add, want a recount, or didn't vote - lets do another count in February. For now, the First book up is Interpreter of Maladies with 4 votes. You have until the end of February lades (and gents) to read this book. Books with three votes will be chosen at random...

I am just a sci-fi freak girls so I guess I am out of this :lol but I also enjoy mysteries! anything by Robin Cook Harry Potter books anything by Patricia Cornwall anything by Dean R Koontz anything by Nora Roberts writing as J D Cobb Linda - Speed of Dark is Sci Fi, so I'm counting you under that ...

I read it. I thought it was good, but not great. I didn't like the ending. I'm interested in seeing the movie.

I finished the Speed of Dark about an autistic man who has an opportunity to have an opportunity to have an operation to make him normal. But the thing is, he is functioning in society and has savant talents that have landed him a really good job. Lots of moral dilemmas. I really enjoyed it.

I would never ignore you! I wuv you! :lol I average about a book a week. But, if I'm in Olympia doing nothing I can do nearly a book a day. I'm a fast reader, plus I do it every chance I get - on breaks, waiting for the bus, while cooking dinner. I read every night. Maybe if I had a life I wouldn't ...

Did you eat it in bed? On a banana?

Sorry, this is all Jax's fault. She's corrupting me.

I know that Lyss says "my bitches". I wish I could answer the phone like that, but they're always work calls.

Is that not professional?

Sorry the worst part is I bought it b/c we wre going to make a Birthday cake for Jesus on Christmas Eve and I forgot. I don't know why, but this is really cracking me up! You ate the Jesus frosting! :rofl BTW, who is it that answers the phone "What up my bitches?" Is is someone here? I've...

I say "kiss my ass" from that show! :lol I also find myself saying "loves it" from The Simple Life and "Whatev" - which is such a teenager thing to say. My guilty confession of the day is I just ate 6 pieces of chocolate. :oops: I have raging PMS. I hope I'm able to fit...

I think your analogy to Al Quaeda is excellent! I love that quote. It's my favorite quote from the book. And we see it in practice *all the time*. I have this horrible fear that deep down I would be one of the pigs. But then I can also see myself in the role of Clover....so maybe I am only slightly...

I loved this book! I can't believe I waited this long to read it! Thoughts: I think al qaeda is our "Mr. Jones." We make policies and decisions out of fear of al qaeda or terrorists. Debates are stopped cold with those words. I love the part where they say "All animals are equal. But ...

Enders Game, Orson Scott Card A Girl Named Zippy (very happy!) The Sparrow and Children of God (I know it is two - but it's the same story!) Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, Deepok Chopra All of the Dark Tower books, Stephen King (now I'm really cheating) I also love the Laurie R. King mystery novels ab...

Read over the holidays: Lovelock by Orson Scott Card and Kathryn H. Kidd: An easy sci fi read about an engineered/enhanced monkey who leaves Earth with his master and finds out he is closer to human than he ever knew. Deal Breaker by Harlan Coben: Junk food mystery /thriller for the brain. Quick pl...

BTW, I just started Animal Farm at your suggestion. Prepare to discuss!

Jax - are there books you want to suggest for our reading list? I love mystery/thrillers and I've read almost every single one of Stephen King's books. I'm still trying to get through Les Miserables, though. It's just so dense! I would love to read more classics. What other classics do you like?

I've dropped out because I've been really busy and haven't been reading anything. Plus, it seems like very few people want to discuss. I think a vote is a great idea. I think this is another problem - I was fairly disappointed with the response to the Kite Runner - especially given what a powerful ...
