  • I am S-T-R-U-G-G-L-I-N-G to get through the audio version of "Orange is the New Black". I loved the Netflix series but the book is borderline insufferable. For someone who knowingly and willingly trafficked drug money internationally, Piper Kerman sure can play the victim card.

    • I'm halfway through The Book Thief on my Kindle. Is it terrible I'd never heard of that book until I saw a trailer for the movie? I can see how it will be a great book to adapt into movie form, though. The way it's written will lend itself very well to cinematography.

      • I'm reading Save Me by Lisa Scottoline. I'm interested to see what happens but every chapter is no longer than 3 pages and it's bothering me a bit.

          Welcome, Kandt! 3 page chapters would bother me too.We just started a book club this month if you're interested. After, well, weeks of discussing how to go about it we voted on book recommends and are reading highest votes first. Goldfinch won, I just started it this week! We're discussing much yet but in the next couple weeks I imagine the talks will begin.

                • I'm in the middle of The Monster of Florence, which was recommended to me because I loved The City of Falling Angels. Enjoying it so far!

                  • I'm reading We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves by Karen Joy Fowler and I am LOVING it. It's sharp and funny, reminds me of Where'd You Go, Bernadette? which I completely adored.

                    • I'm in the middle of Hugh Howey's latest, Sand, and just as sucked in as I was with Wool. Moreso, maybe, because the stories are all shorter, and punchier.

                      • In addition to the book club book I've been reading a short story collection, "Tenth of December" by George Saunders. It's a weird experience, reading short stories. They drop you in and give you the tools you need to figure out WTF is going on and then they basically leave you hanging. I actually really enjoy this, I much prefer it to a long long series that tries to give you ALL THE BACKGROUND and then tries to tie up ALL THE ENDS and inevitably fails. Still, I can only read a couple of stories at a time before I get overwhelmed by all the jumping between completely different plots and settings. This author really does the short story well though.

                        • SD I just read Tenth of December (well, listened to it). I loved it, oddly. The first couple of stories I didn't enjoy but there were several that I thought were awesome (I particularly loved "The Seplica Girl Diaries). I don't read many short story collections, but I also read "We Live in Water" by Jess Walter and adored it - I also recommend that one! I also just wrapped up "The Cuckoo's Calling" via audio book and thought it was so-so. The writing was good but it was a touch boring...

                          I finished The Goldfinch last night and completely loved it. I started "The Silent Wife" via audio book two days ago, and started "The Rosie Project" on my Kindle this morning.

                          • I just finished "Pastrix", and "Sheet Music" (marriage book). I am currently going back through our Mayo book re: pregnancy, but I'd like to pick up something fun, soon.

                            • I just started Ghost Man. I try to,read all the Edgar Award nominees each year. I'm a mystery junkie.

                              I'm also reading The Quants, nonfiction about quantitative finance and the latest Wall Street meltdown. My son is considering quant finance as a major in college.
