Book central - let's talk about our reads
Front-Ranger:
The book at the top of my list to read is "The Making of Brokeback Mountain" but, sigh, it hasn't been written yet! I just finished Julie and Julia by Julie Powell, and enjoyed it immensely. I'm now about one-third of the way through Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Find the Lost Children of Nepal, by Conor Grennan. It is surprisingly upbeat for a book about child trafficking. The book I'm hoping to get for Christmas is Dangerous Work: Diary of an Arctic Adventure, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I just finished NW by Zadie Smith and Merry Christmas Alex Cross by James Patterson. I'm trying to decide what to download on the Kindle to read next. I want to read the latest offering in The #1 Ladies Detective Agency Series. I try to read a book a week.
I rarely give books as gifts, but I receive tons of them. You should see my library!
Jeff Wrangler:
Right now I'm finally reading A Lady's Life in the Rocky Mountains, by Isabella Bird. It's her account of her sojourn in Colorado in 1873.
Isabella was quite a character. You can look her up on Wikipedia.
Sason:
Great idea for a thread, Chrissi!
I have nothing to add at the moment, I don't read much these days.
Since Brokeback I spend way more time at the computer than reading! ;D
Mandy21:
I'm with Sason. Last few years, books have interested me less and less, and I'm sad about that. Used to be voracious since very young, now it takes me a month to get thru just one. Maybe it's just been too long since I've found a good page-turner.
