I just finished Hunger Games and Catching Fire, which were wonderful. Kinda The Long Walk with more political/social themes.
I am reading the first book I have been able to pick up since nursing school... it's called "Precious", and it is depressing, and it is semi-annoying to read because it is written ebonics-style.
I kind of miss being interested in reading for pleasure. Nursing school ruined me with books. :(
Don't worry, you get over that--eventually
I hope so... I used to be such an avid reader...
I've been reading Bentley Little's "The Store". It's a horror novel about a haunted Walmart. (LOL)
He's really not that terrific of a writer, but his novels are alot of fun if you like cheesy horror ala Stephen King.
I am listening to an audiobook called "The Help". It's pretty good. Set in 1960's Mississippi, and it's about the black maids that worked for white people.

Title: The ADAM Principles - Create your new Life with Men and get the Love you deserve
“The ADAM Principles” will give you deep insight into men’s true feelings: How are men aware of women? How are men aware of YOU? How do you recognize manipulation and unfair intensions? Are you merely his affair, his best friend, a sex object or are you the woman of his dreams? And how can you become what ever you want to become for a man?
“How do I make him fall in love with me?”
“How will I know that he’s truly in love with me?”
“How do I date a man to make him fall in love with me rather than just wanting sex?”
“How do I understand men’s secret body language?”
“Why is it, that I always end up as the mistress or an affair?”
“What makes a relationship exciting and vivid to a man?”
“How do I get a man to commit himself permanently?”
With “The ADAM Principles” you will not only get the answers – you will also learn about methods and techniques to max out any situation for yourself as a woman. Nothing but the real stuff: tricks for real situations in everyday life with men.

Got bored of the Slash autobiography when he started becoming a 'new man', started on an AC/DC one, but kind of lost interest, so I'm back to reading: Mindhunter: Inside the FBI elite serial crime unit. it's written by John Douglas (& Mark Olshanker) who is a pioneer of FBI profiling. the whole serial killer thing interests me a lot, so it's right up my alley. I'll report back with my thoughts.
"The Rolling Stones Interviews" by Jann Wenner and Joe Levy is my at work book. Got it at Borders on their clearance rack for $4.99. I love that place.
Reading "Pretty in Plaid" by Jen Lancaster at home.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson
Towelhead.
I hate the title, but am enjoying the book. In fact, I read half of it while sitting in the bookstore before I even bought it.
Dawkins - The Selfish Gene
My mom just started reading The Help. Seems to be enjoying it since she's recommended it to EVERYONE.
I've picked up a couple of Bill Bryson's books in the last few weeks - I LOVE his writing. I read A Walk in the Woods (about the Appalachian Trail) and I'm almost finished with Notes from a Small Island (traveling Britain). Definitely enjoyable if you like that type of humor.
Aside from that, a few books on math - one is called The Art of Mathematics and one is a light-hearted but very long history of important mathematicians called The Men of Mathematics.
I do not think I will ever be able to read an actual book again. Fiction or nonfiction
I can't even remember the last time I read for pleasure. I tried this winter break, but got bored after about 20 minutes
