Are you reading for "fun" right now instead of nursing books?

I just finished The Beach by James Patterson

I'm now reading I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. Pretty good so far - it's over 800 pages and I'm only on 100 something.

What good books are you reading right now?

and Manna, how is Stiff?

LOVE it. It's very irreverently humorous, but I think you could probably assume that much from the title. Fascinating stuff, really. I definately recommend it - but not for the easily offended or faint of heart. :)

I am so tired of reading! I decided to paint every room in my house instead. The closest you'll get me to reading is the calorie count on a food label!:chuckle

Oregonrene, how is The Time Traveler's Wife??

I really liked it!!!! It held my attention so well, I could hardly put it down. The premise of time travel was so interesting. I enjoyed it a lot and would definitely recommend it. Wish I could say the same for Birth of Venus.... :stone

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Might want to wait for summer for those though..there are 5 books in the series so far, each around 1000 pages give or take, and once you get started, you won't be putting them down ;) Time travel, Scotland, Romance, history..really unique books.

They are my all time favorite books..supposedly we might be getting the sixth this year sometime.

I read Skipping Christmas a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was cute except the dad kind of bugged me. If you like suspense with unexpected twists you would love Harlen Coben, he writes excellent suspense books

**Thanks-Harlen Coben sounds like my cup of tea!

i started reading the left behind series 2 years ago but then i decided to go school so i quit reading them. so this christmas break i decided i can't go a whole semester without reading something other than text. so i went back to the first book and am just skimming back through to refresh. i am going to do this with all of them until i am caught up. i really like these books they are christiam science fiction about the rapture (end of the world).

I just bought White Line Fever which is the autobiography of Lemmy Kilmister. Good stuff, I should have it finished by the end of the week.

Im reading the novel entitled "Nurse" about a med-surg charge nurse. I know how corny. :nurse: Im suppose to be relaxing and not thinking about school. What can I say Im addicted. :nono: Happy reading.

I caught up with my Harry Potter reading. Read Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix! Exellent books. JK Rowlings is such a wonderful writer. My son Ben got a couple of Lemony Snickets books for Christmas and he is reading those. He highly recommends them, so we will see about them for spring break! :)

The Harry Potter boks are great! I've read all 5 of them within a month's time. Couldn't put em down!!!!!!! They are some of the best "adventure/fantasitical" books i've ever read. I recommend these books to anyone young and old!

Specializes in ER, ICU, Cardiac, Med-Surg.

I am reading Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells. I saw the movie a few years ago and read the author's other book, Little Altars Everywhere, but never got around to reading this one.

I borrowed The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom from my mother, so I can read that one next.

I love to read fiction and missed it so much this past semester!

After I read Jackie Collins...I dove into Martina Cole...wonderful author from overseas...now I'm reading Shiela OFlanagan. These authors from Ireland and the UK are the other "white meat". They are brilliant! AND FUNNY?!?!?!

Awesome.

I love to read, but as you all know in school if it is not a text it is not getting read no time soon. So, during Christmas Break I have taken advantage of FREE TIME~~~~~~~~~~

I read"Let's Roll" about Todd beamer (aboard flight 93 that crashed in field Sept 11th)and his family. It goes into his life and those he touched thru his life and is told by Lisa Beamer his widow. EXCELLENT READ!!! Very christian centered. I also love Mary Higgins Clark and have re-read "Loves Music Loves To Dance" good mystery novel.
