I love to read. I have been receiving several free books from a group on gather. All I have to do is agree to review them. I just finished reading Dear Neighbor Drop Dead by Saralee Rosenberg. It was a wonderful story. If you enjoy a good read, I recommend this book. I sit on my front porch and laughed so hard my stomach hurt.
Do you enjoy reading?
What are you reading?

Isn't the author of I Am America is E.R Frank? [katkat]
I use to hate to read, until I read the harry potter books, and they were so interesting it kept me curious as to what was going to happen next. now I'm reading a book my mom gave me called, "The Snow Bride" but I have read quite a few books here and there. my daughter really does all the reading. but I do read when I'm alone or have a few minutes of quiet time.

OH My I love Harry Potter. LOL [villageanne]
That sounds like a good read. i laughed like that over parts of Angela's Ashes. THat is a great book. It is very poignant. You will laugh at some parts and cry at some parts. Frank McCourt is a great author, but I digress, I also laughed alot at Bridget Jones Diary and the other BJ book the Edge of Reason. They were both good. Right now I am reading Shock by Kitty Dukakis about her expeiences with eletroshock treatments. [snowy22315]
The book by Kitty Dukakis, sounds interesting. I will check at the library and see if they have it. I can only imagine the experiences with electroshock treatments. [villageanne]
I am reading a really good book by one of my faourite authors, Jean P Sasson, called Love In A Torn Land about a Kurdish lady in Iraq. [danishcanadian]
Leah, I have not heard of that book before. I will check at the library and see if they have it. [villageanne]
If you're a true-blue fan of fantasy books, I recommend this book for you to read. The title is 'Artemis Fowl' by Eoin Colfer. It is a book series which features a 12-year old child prodigy in the first book who wants to restore his family's fortune. However, this can cause a cross-species war between Fairy People (i.e., dwarfs and fairies) and people (or Mud Men, as the Fairy People call them). It is a very wonderful book and I hope you will take the time to read at least the first book. [xXSnowFoxXx]
Hehehe... Glad to know that another person here in MyLot reads Artemis Fowl! [xXSnowFoxXx]
I like reading a lot of drama books myself. Right now I am reading Final Target by Iria Johansen. It's really good so far. It's about a couple of ladies that are sisters. One of them is a daughter that is taking care of a young child that has seen tramua. I have read quite a few of her books. They seem pretty addictive. [Shaun72]
I have a bad habit of keeping 3 or 4 books on the go at the same time!! At the moment I have three on the go ... "Wherever you go, there you are", by Jon Kabat-Zinn which is an amazing insight into meditation; Torn Clouds by Judy Hall (based in Egypt, a fascinating read but I've only just started it in the last day) and The Sacred Quest by Louise E. Langley, which is a very strange book based on her life but fascinating because it is so odd! I will have to dig out Dear NeighbourDrop Dead, sounds wonderful and just the kind of book I'll need to read once we start doing our building work *he he he* [moonpoppy]
The only thing I am reading these days, are the discussions here in Mylot. I work online seven days a week and do not have time to read any books. I have to get my daily earnings and make sure to get things done around my home also. That takes alot of time. My daughter is also sick and getting ready to have surgery some time this week. I am a nervous wreck over it and the bills that come with it. [stephcjh]
I love reading ! These days I'm reading a book about the Stalingrad battle (world War 2). I'm fan of History, paranormal ... [jeancharles]
I love reading history books. Have you read Kenneth Davis's new book called Americas Hidden History? It is wonderful [villageanne]
The one you're reading sounds great. I could use a laugh! I'll look for tha tone. I'm reading one called "The Pillars of the Earth", a novel by Ken Follett that's set in the Middle Ages. Makes me so glad I did not live in the Middle Ages! Lots of blood and gore. What a rough life, he heh. It kind of centers around a traveling stonemason whose goal is to build a great cathedral. It's a good story, well-written. A neighbor loaned me the book, so I just hope I don't do something to it. [MoonlightSerenade]
This is a book that I am looking for. I only buy used books and the more recent the book, the less likely I am to find it for cheap. [ElusiveButterfly]
These days I've been reading The Giver it's a great novel written by Lois Lowry. It's about a futuristic society, a very very unique futuristic society, imagine a place where colors,emotions,difference,violence,poverty, prejudice and injustice doesn't exists if you've imagined it then you'll know what the book is all about, it's almost seductive, if there was a world like that i would probably want to be in it, just to be escape the troubles we face today. [davidlee7]
I also love reading but nowadays not finding time to read due to internet. I read when I am travelling and when internet is not available. Last I read was a book named illusion, it was perfect, on the spiritual side of life. [sunita64]
I am actually reading a magazine on 'People Management'. It's very interesting because I plan to do career in this fieldhappy [excellence7]
i too like reading.you have said you get free books to review.Could you please tell me how to get free books to review where can i get them.please send all the details if you please.thanks [92iqbal]
I would love to do that too. I looked into it once and found I had to pay to be in such a program. I understand there are free ones out there, I just don't know where to find them. Anyone knows, I'd like to know too. [patgalca]
My dear frind I love reading too ,although the internet refer to the all the normal people ,but in my opinion ,reading book is the best way to make you feel good and spirites fire hot. [lunmun]
You are recommending a book that makes you laugh, I will definitely write it in my list of books to look out for. I am currently reading "Just Hand Over The Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt" by Karen Scalf Linamen. It is a book for women on how to handle stress, it is also inspirational. I saw it on a religious website, then in a religious bookstore and bought it to donate to the church library. I told them I wanted to read it first to make sure it is appropriate. It is. It is a tummy tickler but also mentions God and prayer. This woman has other books out which I want to keep my eye out for. [patgalca]
I don't like to read novels and story books. But I like to read magazines. Recently, I am reading a book on echocardiogram. This is a boring book but I am learning how to do ultrasound on heart,so I have to read it. I am struggling to memorize and get familiar with all the things. Hopefully I can pick up faster. Wish me luck. [yenwie84]
Hi,anne.I read some books about learning Japanese.I will go to there in the near future and I think learning their language well must be useful. [MizukiZHR]
Pride & Prejudice I am reading for the first time . So , far I am only on a few chapters , and I know it will be a great book . From time to time I love to read classic books . Curious to see why they are called the best happySoon I am gonna be reading a flowe set from nora roberts. [metschica25]
I am reading 'The third secret'. It is a suspense novel - very good. Your description reminded me of 'Skipping Christmas' by John Grisham (forget the movie, it s*cked, the book was great). I am a John Grisham fan and received this book as a Christmas present, I sat down to read it and I could not figure out where it was going, it was so different from his typical novels. All of a sudden, I find myself laughing out loud as I realized he had written about me.lol The book you are reading sounds like something I want to read, I just went to add it to my ebook wishlist but ereader does not have it. [Debs_place]
That is so cool. Let me know how you like it. [villageanne]
happyI just finished reading the newest Janet Evanovich book. I am also reading a Debbie MaComber book. It is a Christmas story, but the book became available to me to read and I decided to read it. The story is cute.happy [ladym33]
I love Debbie Macomber...I have at least 50 of her books..I've heard of Janet but don't know that I've read any... [Feona1962]
hello there,i do enjoy reading but selected topics. i have books about "Ring" and it was great story. [bombshell]
I have been reading a lot this summer. When I need to escape from the turmoil of life I grab a book and head either for my rocking chair or sit outside and read. I am not one that pays full price for books. Mine are purchased from the Goodwill store or tag sales. I have quite a collection of Karen Robards books. She is a heck of a writer. [ElusiveButterfly]
I am currently reading "A Love So Deep" by Suzetta Perkins. It's about a man who was married to a good woman forty or so years before she dies. Of course, he takes it pretty hard, and his best friend takes him out to his favorite spot to take his mind away from his troubles and that is where he meets Rita, who sings and he falls in love with her. Of course, initially, things don't go well with his family and friends, but with time, they accept it. Yet in the background, she has an ex-husband lurking causing problems on top of other issues. A very good book. I am also reading Trading Dreams at Midnight. I wanted to check it out, but it wasn't high on my priority list, but I was able to get a free copy for reviewing, and so far so good. It talks on three generations of women in a family. [Savvynlady]
I love to read....Right now I am reading Nicole Byrd...and Julia Quinn..They write about Lord's and Lady's...I have been trying out new authors... Don't know if I've had any Saralee Rosenberg books....but I will be looking for her books..... [Feona1962]
I love reading it was my first passion, before I got internet but I still pick a good book anyday and get comfy with it. I have seen a site that wants people to review movies and books but it isn't from gather and I don't know if it is legit or not. I will have to check that book out next time i get towards the library or request it next time I see the book mobile. Thanks for the heads up on a great sounding book love the ones that make me laugh. Do you have to send the books back? and how would one go about being able to review books as well? [mtdewgurl74]
