What Book Are You Currently Reading?

First topic message reminder :

At the moment, I'm working on Emma and The Picture of Dorian Gray. They intrigue me. Oscar Wilde's wit shines as always in Dorian, so far, and his characters in here are, to me, some of his best.

Yes unabridged just finished almost cried at the ending, but how can so many men fall in love with the same women.

Nothing thank God!

 YES. Emma is a good good choice! Tell me how you like it! 

Ummm i'm "reading" alot of books, but i get sooooo busy i never finish them

The Negiotator  by Dee henderson

Summer of the Midnight sun by Tracie Peterson. <3

Not a Sparrow Falls. Kinda boring and not very well written.

Have any of you guys heard of the new books The Selection and The Elite?

Well put Maria. I have several books that I started and never finished.  Currently I'm reading Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and I'm finding it fascinating.  I realize that some people may not like it because the the old English, but I'm rather fond of things and books that consist of old English.

YES. I looove Old English! 
I think the more you read the more easy it becomes to understand. 

I also like the Jane Austen time period, and am currently reading Adam Bede. 

I read The Selection! It was pretty good... Reminded me of a modern-day Esther. To an extent. Is The Elite the next book or something? I am interested to see what happens.

Has anyone read Cinder? Its written by Marrissa Meyer, and it's a very intriguing read (If, you know, your interested in a futuristic world with robots, that is  )! My dad even liked it, which speaks volumes in my house.

Currently, I'm reading Ender's Game, which I'm not sure if I'll finish... First chapter had a bunch of swear words  I hate it when books that look good end being spoiled by a bunch of foul language...

Never judge a book by its cover"

Ender's Game is one of my favorite books. There is some language in it and I forget how much. However, if that isn't an issue, I found it delightful.

I'm in the middle of reading, "When God Writes Your Love Story," by Eric and Leslie Ludy.  While I can't say I'm wild about reading such a book (it's from a really good Christian perspective, it's just not exactly something I LOVE to read [no pun intended]), I do want to get the right perspective on what may come in my future.

By the way, is it just me, or have any of the rest of you heard of these book authors?

I love the plot and all the twists the author incorporates in the book are awesome!! But it can get a little too.. "touchy" (?) at some points :/
However, YES, The Elite is the next book and I heard that the last book will be called The One.

Hehe, that's why I said "to an extent"  Ya, I did skip a page or two in there, but it was pretty good.

I am reading the Princesses Bride by Willliam Goldman. Has anyone here read that?

I have one i have one! Okay, *ahem* I'm reading.....*drum role* My bible!!!!

Well right now I am in the limbo between books. Though I am reading my Bible for my 10th time.

like reading the intire Bible, Jake? i could never do that...

Yes. Yes. Yes. Ye olde English is the best. ^_^
