What book have you read lately or do you recommend?

[GarboSpeaks!]

I just started reading the Girl/Dragon Tattoo series. Am on book 2. SOOOO late in getting these read. Book 1 I read just because I saw the movie, wanted to see if there were additional details, and as always-the book is better. Book 2 is a major page turner imo.
I read HG, then bought the nice hardbound set, but have yet to read 2 &3, but will get in to that once I finish the Larsson trilogy.

I am SO grateful to be on a board w/ sound members that aren't gushing their way thru 50 Shades. Talk about akward writing style. But shame on me cause I bound right thru all 3, then REALLY hated myself for being having read them. lol. Get off my ass and write a better trilogy I say

Every summer I try and catch up on classics. Last year I read Lord of The Flies, (re-read) Brave New World, so that I could read BNW-Revisited, and lastly Animal Farm which I had never read before. Not exactly cheery Summer reading, but damn, all very good books.

My main likes are Metaphysical, Horror/Sci-Fi, Erotica, anything Atwood (her collection Writing with Intent is a must). Recent enjoyments are David Moody, Kat Richardson, Crowley biographies, and revisiting Rice's Beauty series.

I'm very interested in that Monroe book GypsySorcerer mentioned. I too have read quite a bit of Monroe biographies and they become more and more about the authors opinion vs. an insightful look into the life of an icon. I also expanded my knowledge of Josephine Baker with a few biographies. If any of you are into bio's, Baker and Marlene Dietrich are fascinating subjects.
