I finished "Gone Girl" and watched the movie the exact same day that I read the last page. The film is better, at least for me it was.

Before that, I read Jhumpa Lahiri's "The Lowland". She is one of my absolute favorite authors; she uses such vivid detail that I always feel like I'm actually in India when I read her books. She also wrote "The Namesake".

I love dark, dramatic, near-depressing fiction ("The Road", "A Thousand Splendid Suns", "The Poisonwood Bible"), so I'm open to recommendations.

I'm reading Jason Priestley's memoir. I was a huge 90210 fan back in the day. It's good so far.

My new read=Robert Ludlum's Chancellor Manuscript.

The Note Book by Nicholas Sparks.

Jhumpa Lahir went to my high school. There was basically a shrine to her in the Library when The Namesake" came out.

Red Square by: Edward Topol & Fridrikh Neznansky.

Wow, where was this at?

Gunman's Reckoning buy Max Brand.

"The Girl on the Train" has been getting lots of buzz. Anyone read it? I'm considering buying a copy.

i read the first few chapters of "Girl on the Train." Just couldn't get into it. will revisit later, because I assume it will get better. Otherwise, why all the fuss?

I read it (was 500+ in line when I first put it on hold at the library) and it was fine, but nothing near the hype I kept hearing. I guess I was expecting to be blown away. lol Get it from the library, and now that most of the hype is over you should be able to get it easily.

The Day of The Storm by Rosamunde Pilcher.

The Bartholomew Fair Murders by Leonard Tourney.

Strange, second book in row set in England??

I just finished writing a novella. I have read that book so many times I'm about to pop. I need a palate cleanse with someone else's work!

Sycamore Row, by John Grisham.

No big surprises yet - Grisham has become the mind candy of the legal "thriller".
