Thought I would start a thread about books we have read, are currently reading, or plan to read. I am always looking for good suggestions for books (Goodreads and such). I thought I would see what y'all are reading.

I'll start. I just finished reading I am Watching You (mystery), and I am reading Dan Brown's new book Origins. I am also listening to Anna Karenina on audiobooks (I have a long commute, so this is how I am passing that time).

I am Watching You is good, and a fairly easy read. I am only a few chapters into Origins, but it is good so far.

Anna Karenina is really good, but it is extremely long. I am about a 1/3 of the way through it. It is my "large book" that I want to knock out this year. Last year, it was the Count of Monte Cristo. Great story, but it was really long.

So, what are y'all reading? Any particular genre you prefer?
 
Is this limited to fiction?

No. Whatever you are reading. I will hit a biography here and there myself.
 
At the Existentialist Cafe

Strangers in their Own Land (SWLA-based book by sociologist - compelling)

Wide Sargasso Sea
 
I'm currently reading The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn.

Just looked this one up. About living in the Soviet gulag system--I will have to wait until I am in a frame of mind to tackle that one, but it definitely sounds interesting.
 
Currently blowing through the Bosch novels by Mike Connolly at a rate of one every couple of days. They're good, easy reading. I stopped to read the recent Frontlines Military SciFi book and now I'm back at with Echo Park. I have a couple biographies and some other SciFi stuff stashed after I'm done with these.
 
i've started re-reading

recently finished:
animal farm
1984
adventures of tom sawyer (first time reading)
alienist (first time reading)

currently working on:
chasing the scream: the first and last days of the war on drugs (audible)
the time machine
darkness at noon

after i finish darkness at noon, i think its time to read an upbeat book or two.

Yeah, I recently re-read Common Sense. I have done the same with the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, and To Kill a Mockingbird (maybe my all time favorite book).

After I read Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank), I had to find something lighter myself (Ready Player One).
