Yayayay Pride and prejudice!!!! Another one. Liz, the holidays must be great for you with the tme to read!!!

Julie, hope you will enjoy it. I don't like romantic stories at all but for some unknown reason I adore this book!!!!
Liz wrote: "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror by Robert Louis Stevenson arrived at my local bookstore for my Vic Lit reading group so I picked up a copy."
Liz, did you see the dr Jekyll movie? I loved the book but te movie was so weak compared to it. Enjoy, because it is not a usual story I think!

For a measly $141 I got $1,038 worth of books!

Jennifer, what is your secret to manageing this? I mean to manage to limit yourself to one book. :-)

How is this one? Is it told in an interesting way?
Allison wrote: "I just finished The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which was very good. Now I'm reading Honeymoon with My Brother A Memoir by Franz Wisner, which I'm really enjoying! :)"
Allison I finsihed The alchemist too. What did you thinkabout the 'advices'? Sometimes they felt a bit too much pushed for me but lukily not too much. I liked the story of the sheep herder as a on its own story.

I read the bridges of madison county when I was about 13 (long time ago)but absolutely loved it!

Now going to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card."
I would love to try this one out. It sounds it is more like the around the world in eight days than the 20000 league under the sea one!

Even the weakest Donna Leon is better than most mystery novels in my book. I'm done with rereading the old ones up to Doctored Evidence. I ..."
I think the last time I read a Leon book it was the one you are reading now. Very good story!!! I like reading her stories and read about places in Venice or Italy where I ahve been too, because it is almost like I am walking there with the characters.
50. Saving Faithby Baldacci
I had never read a book by Baldacci and after all those times that i wanted to read one, I am soooo glad I finally did.
The book was really good and I read through the last 300 pages in one time.
First of many others!
Just warm up everyone for the new bookshelf!!!!

It is true, Donna Leon never dissapoints!

Bhuni, Grapes of wrath is maybe a bit slow and can be heavy, but it is a really good book. Hope you will like it.
Bought Good Omens The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch in hard cover for mt friend who is leaving Ireland next week. When I was reading this one she would everytime stating to laugh when she saw the cover, read two lines..... That made me laugh more than the book!!!
