#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Okay, so we don't all eat/sleep/live horses 24 hours a day (or do we??).  I like to read a bit before I go to bed each night.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I have to confess, I am a Harry Potter NUT!!  My MIL gave me "Half-Blood Prince" back in the summer (after it came out) and I decided to re-read the previous 5 books before I started into the new one.  I only read about a chapter a night before my eyes start to close, so it's taken me awhile to get through the 5 books.  I'm about half-way through "Order of the Phoenix" right now.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#When I'm done this series, I'm not sure what I'll read next.  I've been wanting to re-read the "Clan of the Cave Bear" books as well...maybe I'll get into that next.  I always find that there are sooooo many books I want to read but I never seem to get around to reading them all.  #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#How about you?  What are you reading right now?  Any recommendations??#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Ohhh ooohhh I LOVE books!!! Although I don't have much time(or energy right now) to read. I haven't read any of the Harry Potter books(seen and loved the movies!!), but I love fiction and fantasy!!! I have all 5 books of the clan of the cave bear and can't wait til #6 comes out!!!!! After YEARS of waiting for #5 to come out I'm not exactly sure when #6 is coming out?? I have re-read those books over 10 times each!!! I'm also a nut for the sword and sorcerous short stories!! Marion Zimmer Bradley rocks!! I'm also a sucker for a good romance, but it has to be fantasy or Native. I'm not really into the whole Danelle Steel books. Not my style. I'm always combing the fantasy section when I get to go to a book store!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I read a LOT. It has been my other passion in life since I was a child. Since I belong to 2 bookclubs I get to read a wide variety. Plus I like to read everything my kids are reading. I love Harry Potter, although I think JK Rowling could be edited a lot more for length. Her last book was better for that. In children's books, I have just read Jenny Nimmo's "Children of the Red King" series. Midnight for Charlie Bone, The Time Twister, The Blue Boa, and The Castle of Mirrors. An excellent series! In some ways, better written than HP. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#In popular fiction, I read Clan of the Cave Bear many years ago and enjoyed it BUT it does drag on after the 3rd book. I didn't bother reading beyond Plains of Passage (book 4) because it just got too formulaic and Harlequin-romance-ish. Diana Gabaldon's Voyager series has the same problem... I read up to book 4 and just got bored with it. A series that I LOVE is Mary Stewart's triology, The Crystal Cave, The Hollow Hills, and The Last Enchantment. It is about the King Arthur legend, from Merlin's perspective. I also love the Shopaholic series. Very, very funny.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My favourite books from my  more recent reading are The Time Traveller's Wife (Audrey Niffenegger); Horse Heaven (Jane Smiley); The Good Earth (Pearl S. Buck); The Many Lives & Secret Sorrows of Josephine B plus the other 2 books in this series (Sandra Gulland); The Red Tent (Anita Diamant); Losing It (Alan Cumyn);  Life of Pi (Yann Martel); Tuesdays with Morrie (Mitch Ablom); The Secret Life of Bees (Sue Monk Kidd). #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My favourite book of all time (yes I know, that's a pretty big statement!) is Silas Marner, by George Eliot. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Right now I am reading Emma (Jane Austen) and Reading Lolita in Tehran (Azar Nafisi). I also have Jane Smiley's latest book, Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Novel, but have not yet cracked the cover. It's not a novel, but rather a book about reading novels. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Hope you find something amongst these titles that you enjoy! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Oh yes, another big double thumbs up for that Mary Stewart Merlin trilogy! I could read those books again and again, in fact I have.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Right now I am reading a Frederick Forsyth actiony sort of thing about mercenaries who are hired by a British mining company to topple the dictator of a small African republic. It's not bad. Nothing special, but not bad. Before that I read Dark Horse by Tami Hoag, that's about a dressage riding accidental private investigator, it's set in the Florida horse show scene, and I loved it right up until the end, then the plot twists got a little over the top and of course our heroine falls in love so that was a little predictable. I would recommend it though, it was a real page-turner. Most of you probably know that Tami Hoag is a USA nationally ranked AA dressage rider so the horsey bits were accurate.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My favorite book ever is On the Road by Jack Kerouac.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
I tend to read more, literary books. I like Barbara Kingslover. I also like "Riders" by Jilly Cooper, but it's a little raunchy.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
