Hi!
I love reading and have read a couple of books. I started reading after I read "The Da Vinci Code", I liked reading the book so much that I started reading other novels also and slowly started liking reading. I am currently reading a very good book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" penned down by J K Rowling. She has written about 6 books and all of these were gifted to me by a friend of mine for Christmas. He knows this kind of books I like. I am enjoying reading this book. What are you currently reading? It would be great fun to know what the other here people are reading. _________________ buy sdhc cards |

I have just finished Designing Disney, (John Hench) What would Walt Do? and The Imagineering Way.
Short reads, fascinating nonetheless. I am waiting for the next Kingdom Keepers book by Ridley Pearson( In the Shadows) to come out. It's a young adult book I know but very entertaining!!
April 2010 is the release date |

WDWFan, are you reading all of those at once?
I'm reading Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. Totally outrageous, but a lot of fun. My last read was The Bone Shaker by Cherie Priest: a steampunk zombie novel. And yes, I liked it. _________________ Beth's Blog |

Yes, I typically will have several books in progress at a time. I'll read which ever one has grabbed my attention the most. Some are for light filler reading, others for more serious reading, etc... |

Polished off "Guadalcanal Diary" by Richard Tregaskis over the break and am about halfway through "Guadalcanal: The Definitive Account of the Landmark Battle" by Richard B. Frank. I usually stick to WWII books, and shift from theater to theater based on my interests at the time. Right now I'm getting geared up for the new WWII mini-series premiering on HBO in March, "The Pacific" |

I haven't read anything since The Bizarre Truth by Andrew Zimmern. The book I got for Christmas, The Flavor Bible, isn't exactly a novel, albeit very interesting. |

Currently in the middle of two series of books. One by Bill Pronzini about a gumshoe detective based in San Francisco - really fun! And the second a Victorian mystery series set in England by Robin Paige. They're both awesome series.
But hey - here's something I should have posted on this site earlier. Have you all read Dreamworld by Jane Goldman? Really, you must read it. Here's a brief summary: Dreamworld is "the other" amusement park in Florida whose major competition is WDW. A murder happens in Dreamworld and the book is about finding the killer. There are so many parallels to WDW, you soon realize Dreamworld IS WDW. I really enjoyed the book. I'd like to know if anyone else has read it. |

Hey folks. I'm a bookworm of the highest order, so I also have a myriad of tomes at my
disposal often. Just picked up "The Lost Symbol", by Dan Brown, very well-done sequel,
(or is that 3-quel ), to "The DaVinci Code", (I'm a sucker for 'conspiracy fiction).
Also, "National Treasure: Changing Tides", (I know, I know ), still a good light read.
I've been re-reading "Around the World in 80 Days" by Monsieur Jules Verne. Probably
one of the first books I ever fell in love with. Can't get enough of it.
Later. Peace.
Oh, P.S. WDWFan, what's the title of the DLRR book, sie vous plais? |

I have this book about not procrastinating, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I was going to bring a really cool book; Chuck Noris Vs. Mr. T, but I forgot it at home. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Killing Yourself To Live by Chuck Klosterman. I just finished Sex, Drugs & Coco Puffs by him and thought it was FAAAAAN-tastic .
Can I even type that second title on this sight? |

I am re-reading a book about an author's experience running the Boston Marathon for the first time. It's titled "26 Miles to Boston". I read it last year before I ran the Boston Marathon and thought that another read would be more meaningful after I had actually experienced the event. I found the book very intimidating last year. Now that I have driven and run the course, I am hoping to enjoy recollecting the experience. _________________ [ |
