Would have thought that the Stieg Larsson trilogy would have been read by everyone by now because the books are pageturners and don't take long to read.

The Clive Cussler covers make me rethink the saying "don't judge a book by its cover." Seriously, his books just look like garbage. I have no idea how good/bad they are, they just scream horrible.

So much drivel to read, so little time. Yawn.

Surprised that The Hidden Reality by Brian Greene isn't on the hardcover nonfiction list, although I guess maybe eventually it'll show...really a great read though!

I'm really love "Sing You Home: A Novel".

I think, this is a good story.

Has anyone read A Discovery of Witches? I read a review that said it fell flat.

I haven't read it yet, but it is next up on my audible.com list. All of the reviews I have read have been good. Check out EW.com. They have an in-depth review that was very favorable. My friends say it is a very entertaining read too.

Thanks for the lead. I'll probably wait until it comes out in paperback or wait for a used copy.
