I tend to only read non-fiction.

Unless it's a classic like...Of Mice and Men, etc...to me, the writers of today are just...ugh. Not good enough.
50 Shades of Grey is not literature; sorry to the critics who are touting that garbage.

The grapes of wrath is still my favorite book of all time.

I'm currently reading 50 Shades.

It's utter crap but I started the series and I have to finish.

I'll read just about anything - as evidenced by the above - except for maybe Sci-Fi. Not really into that too much.

I got on a pretty good historical fiction a while back, I enjoyed that.

After 50 Shades I have The Help, Life of Pi, Lolita, Middlesex and a few others.

Sadly I've never read any of the classics - I need to get on that.

I just read this one last night:

Much dirty than 50 shades of Grey

I've never heard of that. I'll look it up.

**whatevergirl** · 10-10-2012, 01:27 PM

lol @ captain underpants...brings back painful memories of my daughter when she was younger...at her school book fairs.

she would say...''mommy, you're too serious, sometimes.''

no. i just don't like books that are stupid.

ok, maybe I am.

edit to add...i was an english minor.

**RebeccaG** · 10-10-2012, 01:30 PM

I'm happy as long as the boys are reading.

Strong reading and comprehension skills are the foundation of life, IMO, so I'll read Captain Underpants if it means they're reading.

TBH I've loved some of the silly books I've read with my oldest. The Skippy Jon Jones series has to be my favourite.

I get to read it in a Mexican accent - what's not to love!?!?

haha no!

let me back up a bit. i do think that the books we read to our kids when they're little...different, than when they get into high school, and the modern day writers are crap.

and silly storylines don't mean that the book is badly written.

i'm talking about along the lines of 50 shades of grey being touted as good literature...

and books that are just badly written.

I have not yet read the Harry Potter series, but my kids and friends of mine have read it, and say it's really good writing...so, might have to try it.

**HARRYBEAST** · 10-10-2012, 01:38 PM

For me I mostly read Stephen King, Dean Koontz and James Patterson.

....stephen king is an exception. have you read his richard bachman series, when he wrote under that alias? oh my...so good!
he is a master at scary fiction...

John Grisham I suppose is a good modern day author, too.

If Stephen King wrote it chances are that I have read it. The only think I didn't read is that Dark Towers series

Since porn is so free on the interwebz I forgot that magazine even existed

**whatevergirl** · 10-10-2012, 01:50 PM

Thinner is the one most SK fans know...so, it was part of that whole series.

i think the thing that will change for sure, is that there will be less tolerance for trolling and posting inane subjects like...'do girls poop?'
when i'd see threads like that, i'd often wonder why they were permitted to be left up. to me, troll or not...posts like that just crap up the place.

no pun intended.

please,go.

soooo many useless threads. looking the the regular misc. now.

Love James Patterson! Dean Koontz scared the socks off me, and I'm too chicken to read Stephen King. Mr Flexy reads King though.

The Dark Tower series were one of my favs. Did he read those?

I have a book that has 3 stories by SK in it. Read first few chapters never picked it up again! I actually did a book report on "The Clown" by him when I was in 8th grade. Not a fan! I have some James Patterson too but never read them either. Was in abook club & ordered them

I'm...so...lost...

Moving right along. I have no idea what's going on now, but I saw a lot of stuff about cliques, so I just want to say that if at any point I have done something to make someone here feel unwelcome, I apologize. I can't blame you for not leaving this thread often, but you guys crack me up when you do.

You have nothing to apologize for.

Seriously, it was just a few that gave off that impression.
