7)What are you reading next? The Lace Reader

Merry~I'll be curious what you think of the Lace Reader.I hope you'll come back to this thread when your done!

Lovin' it so far.

1) What book did you just finish?

I've been dragging my feet on several books, but I finally recently finished Short Works of Lord Dunsany.

2) Did you like it or dislike it?

Liked it! Good stuff. :)

3) What did you like best?

His prose, and the content of the stories. As one of the early masters of fantasy, he certainly could spin a good yarn, and it was great fun to wander along with him through arcane lore and imaginary worlds. The more down-to-earth stories about World War I were also quite moving.

Many of the stories were extremely short, some no more than a few paragraphs, which made them quite accessible and quick to read (a good thing for busy people). The nice, solid hardcover and the high quality and pleasant feel of the paper were also enjoyable. :)

4) What was the worst part of the book?

His prose. :D His style, while enjoyable to read for those of us who like it, is not for everyone, and probably best not imitated by most modern writers. Ursula K. LeGuin in fact mentioned this in an essay.

Actually, the "worst" part was that the book itself contained a number of typographical errors. This seemed unfortunate.

5) Was it better or worse than you expected?

I didn't necessarily have any specific expectations. He was an influence on many writers, playwrights, movie-makers, etc., including H.P. Lovecraft who is another of my favorites, so I'd been eager to read Dunsany for some time and see what he was like.

6) Would you recommend it?

Yes, at least to lovers of fantasy, or to readers of authors or other artists who were influenced by Dunsany and would like to become acquainted with some of Dunsany's work.

7) What are you reading next?

I'm finishing up Farid Esack's The Qur'an: A User's Guide, and hope to soon start on a book from or about India, possibly Motiba's Tattoos, The Bandit Queen of India, or Joothan: A Dalit's Life.

Susie...thank you for the invite. I couldn't wait until I was done reading my book to tell you thanks.

YVW I figured they could leave reading on your thread then post what you thought of it here!

1)What book did you just finish?

I most recently finished Stray by Rachel Vincent

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

It was kind of "meh" to me, I didn't really like it and didn't really hate it.

3)What did you like best?

I like the premise of werecats living in our world.

4)What was the worst part of the book?

The lead character was very annoying.

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

I had hoped that I would like it more than I did.

6)Would you recommend it?

Not personally, but there are others who really loved the book.

7)What are you reading next?

I'm still reading Bio of an Ogre, which I've been working on since August, and actually made some progress on it over the last couple days and have also started The Cursed One by Rhonda Thompson.

Last night I finished The Ascent of Money by Niall Ferguson

It had some usable facts and serious thinking in it, but seemed pretty light weight. It perhaps should have been a 600 page book.

I liked that it was pretty up to date.

But it was too chatty.

It was not nearly as good as I expected from the author of The House of Rothschild.

It could be useful to other people. If I had a way of predicting its utility, I might recommend it.

My next book to be started this evening is likely to be one of twenty or so that I have lined up closest to my bed. That could change before I go to bed.

Robert

Like it is not the word. I loved it.

What I liked best is the book switching from present to the past.

4)What was the worst part of the book?

I felt that the author could have made the main character more personable.

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

I had high explectations of this book in a different way. I was left wishing it had more detail of the past. But I do feel that this is one of the better books that I have read this year.

If someone has a passion for books, wanting to understand the past of an old book, I would recommend it.

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

It was just ok not as good as I expected it to be

3)What did you like best?

It was an interesting take on the Salem Witch Trials
I guess the most interesting part of the book was the postscript where the author reveals she is a descendant of one of the victims of the witch trials.

4)What was the worst part of the book?

Was very predictable had the whole story figured out pretty quick.It also started out really slow and took awhile to get going

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

I would say worse its had alot of buzz and I guess I thought it wouldn't be so predicable

6)Would you recommend it?

Maybe--It was a different take on the witch trials

7)What are you reading next?

Living Dead in Dallas by, Charlaine Harris

1)What book did you just finish?

Dead Until Dark by, Charlaine Harris

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

Liked ~ The storyline the whole vampires out of the closet,the characters were interesting even though I felt there may be too many. Oops thats a dislike.

3)What did you like best?

Vampires that can't go out in daylight

4)What was the worst part of the book?

Too much sex!

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

I guess I didn't find this book great and don't feel it lived up to all the hype I've heard. The jury is still out on this series of books we'll see if when I get done with the 2nd one if it makes me want to read the 3rd.

1)What book did you just finish? Under the Dome by Stephen King

2)Did you like it or dislike it? Loved it!

5)Was it better or worse than you expected? Better

6)Would you recommend it? Yes!

7)What are you reading next? Alcatraz: The Gangster Years

1)What book did you just finish?

Living Dead in Dallas by, Charlaine Harris

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

It was ok the first one had too much sex for my tastes and this one didn't have as much or so I thought till I got to the last 25 pages and realized she saved it all up and really slammed you with it

3)What did you like best?

This series does make you want to keep reading just to see what other supernatural beings pop up

4)What was the worst part of the book?

The sex and sometimes her writing is not very good she's definitely not a lets describe everything sort of writer and sometimes that leaves you a bit confused as to what's going on.

Not as good as all the hype over these books

6)Would you recommend it?

The jury is still out although I am reading the next book

Dislike has to do with the narrator of this audio book this book is set in England and the narrator did not have an english accent and that just bothered me.
3)What did you like best?
The conflicting generations the mother of one of the 2 girls in this story has become involved in the suffragette movement and its funny to hear her mother-in-law chastise her for wanting to vote when your husband can make that decsion better for you than you can do it yourself.
4)What was the worst part of the book?
There are some sad moments but they further the story

Worse, but most recent Regency romances have disappointed me. When you've got Austen and Georgette Heyer, and even early Mary Balogh to compare with, it's hard to stack up.

No.

7)What are you reading next?

Glad you asked. I'm going to start the third book in Bartle Bull's African Trilogy, The Devil's Oasis. Ah, back to beautiful, lyrical writing!

7)What are you reading next?

Hot Rain by Kat Martin

karenmarie & callmejacx sound like 2 I'll stay away from.karen I don't particulary like christian fiction anyway.

susiesharp..I was sure I would enjoy this book. I thought that I would relate to it but boy, was I wrong. Believe it or not there is a sequal. No thanks, I think I will pass.

Sorry you two had disappointing reads, but happy to hear of two books I don't want to add to my wish list!

1)What book did you just finish?

Silk by Alessandro Baricco

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

Liked it.

3)What did you like best?

Its depth in a slender volume, and lyrical language. Like a fable. With a memorable message of love and giving, as well as a moral that can be read different ways.

4)What was the worst part of the book?

There is some repetitive language, but for a reason.

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

Better.

6)Would you recommend it?

Definitely.

7)What are you reading next?

Why Didn't They Ask Evans by Agatha Christie

1)What book did you just finish?

Definitely Dead by, Charlaine Harris- Sookie Stackhouse #6

2)Did you like it or dislike it?

Both..This one was a little disappointing because there is a backstory in a collection of short stories so it was confusing without that book.

3)What did you like best?

There was a few big secrets revealed in this one so that was the best part.

4)What was the worst part of the book?

I have the boxed set and when you buy a boxed set the story should flow uninterrupted.So that is the worst part of the book.


5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

Worse because of the story confusion.Like you should know something and you don't.

6)Would you recommend it?

If your reading this series I would recommend you find the book A Touch of Dead which should be Book 5 1/2


7)What are you reading next?

How to Ditch Your Fairy by, Justine Larbalestier

1)What book did you just finish?

The Woman in White by, Wilkie Collins

4)What was the worst part of the book?

Nothing!

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?

Much better its a great story!

6)Would you recommend it?

YES!Everyone should read it

All the characters were supposed to be English but the book was very American. I didn't mind so much but I think the authors' might have tried to put more of a British influence in.

Better. Classic adaptations are always hit or miss for me but this one was very good.

6. Would you recommend it?

Yes, for the young and the young at heart :-)

2) I liked it a lot

3) I liked the tence parts, and Kirsti's (the little sister in the book who is 7 years old) imagination.

4) The worst part would be... I can't really pick one out. I would have to say some parts in the beginning since it dragged a little then.

5) It was actually better than I thought it would be.

6) I would recommend it. It's a very very fast read since it only has about 137 pages.

7) Honestly, I don't know what I'm going to read next.

I'm going to read a light christmas story The Shepherd,The Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog by, Dave Barry

4)What was the worst part of the book?
The major drawback is by the middle third of the book there are so many characters that the the story gets confusing as Sk jumps between them, sometimes a whole chapters are only 1 or 2 paragraphs. This changing point of view robs the story of its natural flow.

5)Was it better or worse than you expected?
This was the first new SK book that I have read in years, and I would say it was better than I expected.

6)Would you recommend it?
I think most Sk fans won't be disapointed. (I give it 2 1/2 to 3 stars)

7)What are you reading next?.
A Sailor's Life by Jan De Hartog (Touchstones goes to wrong book)

After the epic Under the Dome, I need to still my mind. After looking in my TBR pile I found this book.
In 1955 Jan De Hartog was an author of some repute of books about sailors and the sea, a young boy after reading one of his books decided to go to sea and wrote him to for his advice on going to sea. This book was the resault of that request.

3)What did you like best? Paul Theroux is a lyrical writer. His descriptions sing. He also gets self descriptive in a very tongue-in-cheek way. He talks about the writer's life, and he actually has his main character MEET Paul Theroux and describe him (he doesn't much like him). All of that is witty and fun.
