It's February! What are you reading?

I just started "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi. So far it seems quite good, but I'm not very far into it.

I'm in the middle of "Game Change" by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin. It's sort of gossipy but in a good way. I really like it.

I also read "The Hockey Dad Chronicles: An Indentured Parent's Season on the Rink" by Ed Wenk. Very fun and light. A lot of it made me laugh because it so closely mirrored my brothers hockey career and I had been to a bunch of the rinks he talks about in the book.

I also saw that the 3rd Hunger Games book "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins will be out August 24th. I'm excited.

Reading the last one in Stieg Larsson's trilogy. Sniff .

I finished Game Change - LOVED IT. The last part of the book regarding McCain and Palin was extremely interesting.

Right now I'm almost done with the new Dan Brown book - The Lost Symbol. It's ok - I like the basis of the book but his writing irritates me.

After reading all the rave reviews here of The Hunger Games, I decided I'd give it a try. I finished it a little while ago, and, wow! What an amazing book! I've already ordered Catching Fire, and I'm so glad I won't have to wait too many months until the third book comes out.

Now back to The Other Boleyn Girl ...

Glad you liked "The Hunger Games," Beverly! I really loved it--great story, interesting characters, suspenseful...good stuff.

I finished "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi this morning. Although I have neither read most of the books she discusses in her memoir nor know much about Iran's history, I really enjoyed this. I'd definitely recommend it.

Tonight I just started the 4th Sookie book: "Dead to the World." After "Reading Lolita," I need some fluff.

I've read a ton of books this month. Here are three that I remember:

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein - great sci fi
Down River - John Hart - really good mystery/thriller
The Midnight Club - James Patterson - decent mystery/thriller

I'm in the middle of The Last Time I Wore a Dress by Daphne Scholinski - memoir on her stays in mental hospitals as a teenager.
