    Default books - whatcha reading right now?

    I am on true crime kick right now. I am reading Portrait of a Killer -Jack the Ripper- Case Closed by Patricia Cornwell.

    This book is NOT for the faint hearted. It is graphic and gory and totally believable.

    I also, at all times have a how to book going on... the book right now is - Scott Kelby's Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2
    I love Scott's teaching style, the easy to understand text and the step by step photos.

    My nightstand book is Thrumpton Hall: A Memoir of Life in My Father's House by Miranda Seymore.

    Would love to see what you all are reading!

    Twilight is in my queue too, MA. I have to wait in line for it though as the series is being shared among several of us. would love to hear what you think of it ! The Host is by the same author, i see - was it written prior to her vampire series or is it a new release of a different genre?

    The Host was after Twilight ... and I have never not wanted a book to finish as much as I did that one. So well written ... it's a 'don't want to put it down' book for sure and it really makes you think about us as humans in terms of our emotions and cruelties and love.

    Ghost Rider by Neil Peart, Drummer for the band Rush. A memoir about his 10 month spontaneous journey all over North America on his BMW motorcycle to recover from the death of his daughter and wife who passed within 14 months of each other.
    Super duper great read!!!!

    Another fave of mine is Hitching Rides with Buddah by Will Ferguson. he hitchikes from the south to the north end of Japan following the sakura blossoms. The book is all about the cool people he meets on the way and his adventures...funny

    One more highly recommended is The Year of Living Biblically by AJ Jacobs...this guy sets out to live a year literally according to the Bible. HILARIOUS!!! One of the funniest books I`ve ever read!!!

    Loved that book! It was great.

    right now I'm reading Stephen King's 'Just After Sunset'. it's a collection of short stories that are very well written.

    I'm reading the first chapters of my wife's novel, she's hoping to be finished revising the final draft by the end of next month. So far it's pretty good, 9 years of work into this one.
