I found if you can get through the first book, the second one is so much better. It has a great plot, but her delivery on the first book is seriously lacking and dragggggggssss at times.

I saw the movie, twice, so it's not all that intriguing since I know what happens... but I've heard many people say the book was better than the movie. I've finished half of it already... I think I will like the second one much better because I won't know anything about it... Did you read all 4??

I just finished Nights in Rodanthe. Very, very good book. I loved it. (Read the book before you watch the movie!!! Lol. So much better that way imo!)

8 months later, I am still reading "1001 paintings you must see before you die". I am fascinated with fifteenth century art -- that's my stopping point.

I am currently reading two books (outside of the ones for school of course): Brining Home the Birkin by Michael Tonello and Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult.

Twilight... It's just an amazing book to start such a saga off and once I pick it up I cant stop reading it. I'm on my 2nd readthrough at the moment. And have finally given into the temptation of adding annotations, underlining my favorite quotes, writing my speculations... It looks like I'm preparing a huge Twilight essay. According to an opinion research ''Finding a girl that doesn't like the 'twilight' series is near impossible.' very much true in my case.

Twilight...

I absolutely loved the Twilight saga books and felt like a little school girl absorbing them all up....but I wasn't in too much of a hurry to watch the movie because they're NEVER as good as your own imagination is! For example movies based on Steven King books are never as good as reading the actual book!

I just got around to watching the Twilight movie a couple days ago, and was so DISSAPPOINTED.

Currently I'm reading a book called Haters by Alisa Valdes-Rodriquez

I agree, the movie is not that good, but Jasper is just awesome

I'm finishing up Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre either tonight or tomorrow night, have a 100 pgs. left. Then on Sat. I'll start on her other book that was published posthumously The Professor. I'm on an English literature kick right now, love the historical aspect, for me it's historical fiction at it's best although it was contemporary for the time.

I just went through the whole thread, I love knowing what other people read, it fascinates me.

Coach_Princess, I noted that in Jan. you were reading Jane Eyre for school! I am loving this book currently, was never assigned it when I was a student and felt deprived as an adult so I just picked it up from the library and am eager to finish it and start on her next. Oh and I even took out her biography, Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Bronte. But I've assigned that book for next month since I've two more I'd like to read before the end of April, The Professor as I've mentioned and Balzac's Eugenie Grandet, a book I recall reading on a train ride in my early 20's and I have no recollection of finishing it.

As far as contemporary novels I recommend Free Food for Millionaires, by Min Jin Lee. I read it last month after borrowing it from a friend and loved it. It's bec. of that author that I'm reading Jane Eyre, as she referenced it once or twice. It's a bit long at 560 p. but it reads fast, a page turner.
