The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner.

[Sean]

I'm in two local book clubs, (btw I call this my online bookclub when I talk about what I'm reading for the group read... that's close enough right?) and this go-round both of my picks came up almost back to back. I just made everybody read The Blind Assassin Now I am making every body read The Handmaid's Tale. Two different book clubs so they won't be getting Margaret Atwood overload or anything...

Hope you don't get Atwood overdose. I've read seven books by Atwood, including both of those but never two within a year of each other.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.

[George P.]

The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić of Bosnia, Nobel laureate 1961. I've read another novel by Andric, Bosnian Chronicle. From what I've read so far I think I will enjoy Bridge on the Drina more.

I just started reading “The Gathering” and I love it. I don’t understand why it is not dated highly in reviews.

I started Fado Alexandrino by António Lobo Antunes of Portugal a couple days ago. There aren't a lot of these in English translation and I was a little surprised I got it on an interlibrary loan request; it only has 270 GR ratings. Diane will be doing a buddy read with me and possibly another reader.

I am starting to work on The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

[Yrinsyde]

I started reading Camilla by Fanny Burney (late 1790s).

I'm struck by an incident early on in the novel. The children (all inoculated for smallpox except the youngest) go to a fair. They encounter a child with smallpox. The youngest is immediately removed and the eldest goes to a different house to quarantine from the youngest to avoid contagion. Very apt for the times!
