It's February - what are you reading?
Here's the Story by Maureen McCormick. I know, I know.
I just finished Delusion by Peter Abrahams which was pretty good although I thought the ending was rushed. I hate that.
I'm going on a business trip and need to bring 3-4 books. Anyone have any suggestions?

What do you like to read on business trips, Rowan? Something motivating or escapist fluff or something else?
I just finished "One Fifth" by Candace Bushnell and it was pretty good.
Right now I'm reading "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell. It's fascinating. My eye doctor and I had a good chat about it yesterday.

I don't usually go on business trips but I'm just trying for something I won't be embarrassed of (which is why I'm reading the Marcia Brady book now).
I have outliers on my queue at the library. Glad to hear its good.

Outliers would certainly not be embarassing, too.
I don't have anything non-embarassing to suggest, unfortunately.

I just finished "Dune." It was really good! Not sure if I'll pick up anything for leisure just yet...there's so much school reading I have to do.
Re: It's February - what are you reading?
I finished The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and the ending was soooooo bad . The rest of it was great, but 40 pages from the end I started to suspect he was going to leave a lot of questions unanswered. I was right.
I'm now rereading his The Shadow of the Wind, which was much better. At least it had a satisfactory ending. I was reading it in 2005 when my Spanish teacher and friend Luci died and that obviously ruined the book for me. I've always wanted to reread it because I knew it was a good book.

I'm just finishing up Soldiers and Slaves - American POWs Trapped by the Nazis' Final Gamble by Roger Cohen. Great book - gripping and devastating.
I going to start Grave Sight by Charliane Harris soon. I'll probably start reading Revolutionary Road too.

I am almost finished with She Got Up Off the Couch by Haven Kimmel (a sequel/follow-up to A Girl Named Zippy, which I never read ) After this I will likely go back to cheating on my books with magazines.

I just read Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. I don't understand... people on websites were raving about this book, but I thought Rachel was so moony and Darcy was such a cartoon villain. Meh.

I finished Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell and highly recommend it; it's a quick read, too.
Then I read Names my sisters call me by Megan Crane, which I just realized was due yesterday and I haven't returned it yet. BAH! It was pretty good.
Now I'm reading The Appeal by John Grisham. I know.

I just finished the John Grisham book. Not worth the time. I think tonight I'll start Big Boned by Meg Cabot tonight.
Re: It's February - what are you reading?
Now I"m reading Lost and Found by Carolyn Parkhurst, it's interesting
Re: It's February - what are you reading?
Anna I really liked Lost and Found - hope you so too.
I'm reading The Associate by Grisham. I don't know why I keep bothering with him but I have been in a bad book rut lately.
