I love to read...but I dont read as fast as I wish I would. And Im always looking for something different to read. I like a wide variety.

What are you reading right now? How is it? Can you give us a small description? What is your favorite book of all time?

right now i'm "really reading" petals on the wind by VC andrews ... i read the flowers in the attic book a long time ago but never finished reading the series so i'm doing that now ............. and i'm also reading memnoch the devil by anne rice .... the vampire chronicles are my faaaaaaaaavorite :)

I currently am reading "Angels and Demons" by the same author of "Da Vinci Code". It's a very good book. I think my favorite was The Stand. Just getting back into reading. Don't know how long its been since I read a book. Forgot how much I enjoyed it!! Stephanie

Angels and Demons, I think ... dont take my word for it lol ... is either the one that comes before, or after the davinci code, but my stepmommy said they are related to each other ... let me know how you like it i think its going to be the next one i read :)

Yep, Angels and Demons is before the DaVinci Code, which I agree was a good book, but SOOOOO anticlimactic.

I have the Davinci Code already, but have yet to start it. I keep hearing great things about it. Ive read alot of VC Andrews stuff...the old stuff, the stuff she really wrote. I liked the Dawn series best.

Right now, Im reading "Weird US", a short story witch book (has 100 witchy stories) and Im also reading the second book in the Anne Rice "Mayfair Witch" series.

My favorite all time books are "The life and times of the wicked witch of the west", "The Fat Girl's guide to Life", the VC Andrews "Dawn" series and "Lovely Bones". I think Lovely Bones is the only book that has ever made me cry.

OMG, Lovely Bones was such an amazing book. It made me cry too. It was tragic and amazing at the same time. So glad to know someone else liked it too. My dh thought I was crazy for reading it, due to the subject matter, but I liked it.

I love to read too!I try to read self help books, but I do it very slowly. Right now I have four books going at once.
Celebrate Yourself-Dorothy Corkille Briggs-Given to me by my therapist to help with my self esteem. It is a good book.
Good in Bed-Jennifer Weiner-This is my only story book I am reading right now. It is very good.
The Ultimate Weight Solution-Dr Phil McGraw-This is so slow reading. It could bore wallpaper off the walls.
The Purpose Driven Life-Rick Warren-This is a daily meditational. Very Good.

My Favorite book of all time is JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte. I first read this book when I was in the sixth grade. I have probably read it a dozen times since. My copy is torn and tattered. I have just about worn it out.
Hugs, Brenda

I really get into reading(hubby would object though),but a book needs to grab me right away for me to even bother with it...and not much has caught my attention lately.There is a book from Dean Koontz that I want to read,but have been to lazy to put it on hold at the library.

I like horror,some religion,and some fantasy.Don't have an all time favorite book,but one that really spooked me,read in 1 day,and haven't forgotten(after a while,stories and books blend together and I can't remember what character goes with what book)was "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston.It's about the Ebola virus,the different strains,and how it popped up in the U.S. in a monkey house.I got that book from my hubby one Valentine's Day...he's such a romantic,lol(thats what I wanted,yeah,I'm a sicko).
