Armin wrote: "Bosnian Chronicle"

I wouldn't call it a gripping read, but it's well-written and I got interested in the stories after a while.

Reasons to Live Short stories by Amy Hempel, our group-read book for July-Aug..

[JenniferAustin]

I have started The Enormous Room by E.E. Cummings. I am already having a great time with this book. This edition includes an introduction which I was glad to have read. Though this is a novel, it was based on the author's experience as a prisoner in world War I. That sounds grim, but this is being an enormously funny and entertaining book!

Quote of the morning:
"Having thus consummated breakfast, my guardian suggested a walk. Agreed. I felt I had the strength of ten because the coffee was pure. Moreover it would be a novelty to me promener sans 150-odd pounds of baggage. We set out."

[Sean]

Ya, I'm a little late. But today I started Falling Man.

[Armin]

Cannery Row

[Alice]

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I started reading:


The Shining by Stephen King - All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy....

[Nocturnalux]

海辺のカフカ〈下〉 by Haruki Murakami.

Which is the second and final volume of the Japanese edition of Kafka on the Shore. My goal is to have it fully read- out loud, like I do with Japanese books- until the end of the year.

After that, I can move on to reading Kawakami Mieko, not a list author, but as I cannot read more than book in Japanese at any given time, it'll have to wait and will be my next endeavor.

[Sean]

Love it when somebody else picks a LIST book for bookclub. Today I started Choke by Chuck Palahniuk.
