Whether it's literary fiction, fantasy, crime fiction, history, chick lit, a current bestseller or whatever, please dish about what you're reading right now and tell us how you like it nod.gif

I'm currently enjoying the 'The Man Who Walked Around The World' written by Dave Kunst right now as we speak, as he was the first man to travel the world, along with his brothers. At first, he just went off with John, but then John got killed in Afghanistan when they were attacked by bandits. So I'm now reading at the part of Peter taking over John's place to walk with Dave rclxms.gif

i think every book lover should have a collection of Sherlock Holmes. I (used to) have this thick kamus-like book of sherlock holmes stories that is really old - it uses those hardcover cardboard+ cloth kind of binding. and the pages are all super thin it was falling apart. I think my mom threw it away tho sad.gif

I love this book! It was so blardy grim, but I love it anyways. If you like this book, then maybe you can look for The Kid by Kevin Lewis. It's sorta like Angela's Ashes, but The Kid was set in the 1970s or something.

The book I am currently reading (or, rather, re-reading) is Cecelia Ahern's If You Could See Me Now.

I am reading "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom. It is about a man named Chick Benetto, that get a chance to spend one more day with his mother, who has died many years ago. Sad story, but in my opinion the book "The Five People You Meet In Heaven" is better.

Yeah I agree. The Five People You Meet In Heaven is one good read. Now I'm on Stephen King's Carrie. Nearly to the end. One good book I would say. Next shall be Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris or Cell by Stephen King. =)
