Almost forgot, last month I read The Lincoln Lawyer in one day, picked it up right around lunch time and couldn't put it down, it was that good!

They just released a movie about that book a couple of months ago by the same name, it starred Matthew McCouaghnay (sp).

Also, Brass Verdict by Michael Connley (sp) is a good read, he is the same guy that wrote The Lincol Lawyer.

I love Perri O'Shaugnessey. It is actually two sisters who write the series about Nina Reilly, a Lake tahoe attorney. I have read them all. A new one comes out in July. If you like mystery with insight into the legal system, this is a great series.

My daughter just finished "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, and I started it yesterday.

I've never seen her so eager and interested to talk about a book.

It was assigned reading at her school and is collection of intertwining stories about soldiers and their lives. Was a Pulitzer finalist.

So far, very good.

@terry, if you like that you might like "the wind done gone" by alice randall

i just finished "at home: a short history of private life" by bill bryson

Anita, I have only read one Bill Bryson book... it was a fantastic humor/travel book about Australia called "In a Sunburned Country." I HAVE to get more of his books! 🙂

Currently reading Wicked Prey by John Sanford.

Read 1 or 2 of his other "Prey" books and liked them.

Resurrecting this thread...

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand- cute
Zoo City- bizarre

Decided to work on classics for the summer, but I'm having a time with Heart of Darkness.

And just downloaded, on recommendation, Chinese Girl in the Ghetto.

Anyone, anyone???

Talking about new reads is always fun, especially when life’s changes, like moving, make it hard to settle into a good book. I’ve often struggled to capture my thoughts about a great read until I found a way to structure my ideas more clearly. A while back, I turned to 24 essay for a bit of help, and it really allowed me to share my reflections on books in a natural, heartfelt way. It’s cool when a little extra support can make your reading discussions that much richer.
