What books just left you speechless?

Do you mean "speechless" in a good way, or in a bad way?

In a weird way!

Okay a new author and indie book The Psalter by Galen Watson

Very Thought Provoking.

Wow! It does look slightly odd.

It would be in a good way, though...maybe not so weird as uncommon candor.

Okay, maybe I'll give it a go.

Park your religious sensitivites (or noted lack of religious sensitivities) on the shelf to read this one...and gread all the way through...it gets better and better.

Well I'm not very religious anyway so you never know, I'll probably love it.

You probably will.

I found The Unbearable Lightness of Being very difficult to read and I didn't finish. Just wondering if anyone else has read it?

I'll have to read it!

I read that book

What did you think of it Christine?

I thought it was a good book

Has anyone read this book called Sickened by Julie Gregory?

Anyone read the historian by elizabeth Kosovo. Excellent.

That will not convince me to read it!


Ugh. I was lying. It did :-\

next book on my list

I agree. very good read.

@Kyle, I'm going to have to give this book a go. I'm usually good at figuring out the ending so would love a challenging book :)

@Christine, yes I've read Sickened. Great book. I found it very sad though. Munchausens by Proxy (sp?) is a terrible sickness.

I'd have to say that "Unwind" left me speachless. Well sort of at least. Brilliant book with what I consider to be a scary theme. The descriptions near the end of the book, totally messed with my head.

@ Lynn and Kyle I am also usually good at figuring out 'who done it'. Definitely interested in reading Valentine!

Who is the author of Unwind ? I would like to add it to my ever growing TBR list ..... I would be interested in reading Valentine too.....should we start a buddy read ?

Who is the author of Unwind ?
Unwind
Stephenson

I'm also interested in Valentine but I won't be able to read it this month.

-Yeah I guess alot of books make me speechless mostly having to do with death and survival? Idk but thats my pick

The Day After Tomorrow

Hi Kyle - I've read a few of J.Picoult books but not "House Rules". What is that one about?

House Rules is about a young boy with Asberger's Syndrom e who is fascinated with solving crimes and profiling serial killers. Then he becomes a suspect in local murders. It's an excellent book!

This novel is massive and I must admit it took a huge commitment on my part "to say yes to the book!" However, once I was in, I was captured by the premise, the characters, the travel, the mystery, the absolute complexity of it all. I must be truthful and found the ending a bit obtuse until I spoke with someone else who had read the book. It was worth every minute.

The book that really filled me with peculiar images and feeling was Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Did anyone else manage to climb through this huge tome?
