What are you currently reading?
Alternating between Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage by Elizabeth Gilbert & Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card
What did you recently finish reading?
11/22/63 by Stephen King
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m hoping that some of the books for the Tournament of Books that I’m waiting for from the library will be available soon. From the looks of the waitlist at the library, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk by Ben Fountain should be next! We’ll see.
You really are reading everything ahead of me this year aren’t you? My sister just got me a copy of Speaker for the Dead…
Ha! I read Ender’s Game two years ago, so I’m hoping it’s OK that some time has passed between the two books. I’m only a short way into Speaker for the Dead right now.
I’ve never read them, I’ve read another series, but everyone keeps telling me to read this one so I started collecting them.
Ender’s Game was really good, I enjoyed it very much.
I loved Ender’s Game, but I’m not sure if I will continue the series, was thinking of reading the first Bean on though. Maybe your review will change my mind
I have Committed on my shelf, hope it is good!

I definitely want to read the first Bean one, too. As I mentioned in my reply to Geoff, it’s been about 2 years since I read Ender’s Game, so I hope the time in between doesn’t make a difference!
That happens to me so often! I wonder if I should reread before hitting the sequel, but usually don’t, who has the time!?
I know exactly what you mean!
I think Speaker for the Dead was written a while after Ender’s Game (and it takes place 3000 years after Ender’s Game) so I don’t think you really have to read it again before Speaker for the Dead (so far I don’t feel like I need to go back to it, anyway!)

Thanks for the link!
I still haven’t read that Stephen King book. And it looks so good!

The Stephen King book is on my to-read list, but I’m currently reading, The Casual Vacancy, so that’s my “big” book for now. How is “Committed”? I really liked “Eat, Pray, Love” by Elizabeth Gilbert. My WWW:http://bit.ly/WURMnO
Do you like The Casual Vacancy? I’ve heard mixed reviews.
Committed is not bad; but not like Eat, Pray, Love and she notes that at the beginning that it won’t be similar. It highlights a lot of research she’s done on marriage; but she does have some travels and related stories of encounters with the locals, which is like EPL.
There is no central character in Casual Vacancy so far, which is hard for me. I like to latch onto one person. But the story is intriguing. I’m not very far in, though, so we’ll see.
Hmm. I usually like that main one to “follow around”, too. Will you post a review on it when you’re finished? I’d like to hear what you think when you’re done!
Will do!
Great!
HA! I got Gilbert’s “Committed” book when I got married in May 2011. Haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. I like your book choice. I think I want to read the King book. . . haven’t decided yet though.

Thanks! Committed is good, but as I mentioned in another reply, it’s not like EPL; much more based on her research on marriage.
The King book was good, but not my favorite of his and I’ve read better from him (but also worse, too!)
