What are you reading this week? (showing 1-22 of 22)

[Lesley comment history]

I'm still slowly working my way through Horns. It's OK, but the story moves slow. My church started a Read the Bible in 90 Days challenge on Sunday so I'm getting bogged down with that...and a newborn. :)

I'm reading:
The Picture of Dorian Grey

I can't say that I'm enjoying it yet. I can only describe both Basil and Sir Henry as slimey and Dorian appears spoilt and petulant. Sigh! I'm only on the second chapter, so perhaps it will get better ....

I was reading the same novel but I stopped 'cuz I dont like to read for too long through the computer screen..my eyes start hurting after a while. But I do believe the story is quite interesting, Dorian Grey is funny sometimes. I am in chapter 5 but hopefully as soon as my closest library has it available I will go and get it!

To answer the topic question..
I just finished the book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
Such a book was pretty good, I loved the middle part but the beggining and the end is not so interesting. I am waiting for the movie and hopefully start the next 2 books. I also have close to me the book "The Hunger Game" which I am hoping to read tonight. Several people have highly recommend it and besides is an educational book according to scholastic.

I'm mostly reading Ranger's Apprentice 4. I plan to finish that one this week.

[Elaine comment history]

I admit, I'm still reading A Passion for the Impossible this week. I'm also reading The Incredible Journey as a read aloud with the kids, but I don't think I get to count that in the 52 in 52 weeks, as we started before the New Year began. We are almost finished with it, though. a Passion for the Impossible has been interesting, but I think I would enjoy it a lot more if it was written more from Lilias' perspective. I don't really feel like I'm getting to know her as I read, more like I'm reading facts about her.

I finished Horns! It's my first official book for the 2012 challenge. :) Now on to Freedom for my book club.

I read that last year. :)

The Hunger Game series is AWESOME!!!

Just finished The Paris Wife and I both loved and hated it. It was a great story but it showed the truth about one of my literary heros and that was a bummer.

[Lynne comment history]

I'm reading Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. It's a little creepy, but I'm enjoying it.

[Cleo comment history]

I finished The Picture of Dorian Gray (both loved it and hated it, like Heather with The Paris Wife) and now I'm reading:

Anna Karenina by

Has anyone else read this book and, if so, did you enjoy it?

[Lesley comment history]

Cleo, I haven't read it, but it's been on my "I should sit down and read this!" list for a while. What do you think of it so far?

Hi Lesley, I'm about 20% of the way through and I am enjoying it but, so far, I have to admit it is not as wonderful as I expected. To be fair though, the book is almost 850 pages long and I get the feeling Tolstoy is still "setting the stage", so to speak.

You have a "I should sit down and read this!" list too? I wonder whose is longer? Hee hee! ;-)

[Stacia comment history]

I'm currently reading (& loving) "In a Strange Room" by Damon Galgut.

[Melissa comment history]

I just finished up "All the Pretty Horses" today and just posted a review on here. Still reading "The Sugar Queen" this week too--very light and easy which I needed after the last couple tougher reads.

"Anna Karenina" is on my long-term goal list...hopefully someday!

[Cleo comment history]

Adding to Anna Karenina :

The Iliad by and
The Defense Speeches of Cicero by (of course!)

Surprisingly I'm enjoying Cicero's speeches MUCH more than I thought I would. He is a master!

[DPieper comment history]

I don't know! I have too many books going. I think I'm going to . . .yeah, I don't know. Check out my bookshelf and I'll let you know what I finished reading next week LOL!

[Gabriela comment history]

The Immortal Life of Henrietta LacksSo far so good

[Gabriela comment history]

I am now reading Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell.. sincerely for me has been a little boring I cant find get the message of the author it confuse me a little bit.
But if you are studying pscycology or philosophy you might like it. It has a lot of it.

[Kathy comment history]

Hi all,
I'm floridamom on the WTM boards, and followed a link from the 52 books thread on the General board.

I just finished The Broken Token, an historical mystery. I'm currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo for an online bookclub.

I read most books on my Kindle, unless the book I want isn't available for the Kindle.

[Apryl comment history]

I'm reading

Faith and Other Flat Tires: Searching for God on the Rough Road of Doubt

This was for a review, and it is pretty decent so far.

I also just finished The Kite Runner wow...

[Margaret comment history]

Hello - I'm new here, saw the group from the boards and decided to jump in.

I just finished reading The Brother Gardeners: Botany, Empire and the Birth of an Obsession. I read little nonfiction (unrelated to homeschooling) so it was a real treat.

Staring The Street of a Thousand Blossomstonight. I love Gail Tsukiyama!
