About to start on The Hound of the Baskervilles, my first proper attempt at a Sherlock Holmes story :).

I watched the film a week or so ago - not sure how I feel about reading the book.

I wa..."

The same as me..but even the picture,is much more alike the book itself!!By the way,that's how I think!!

[Luke]

I watched ACO before my current first reading, and have a lot of friends who rave about book and movie. We'll see how the novel measures up.

[Mia]

I've seen the movie and I didn't like it at all... But I just started to read A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.

[Colleen]

Vanity Fair and making slow progress.

I haven't read any of Lawrence Durrell's novels, but I highly recommend (non-list book) My Family and Other Animals by Lawrence's brother Gerald Durrell.

I started reading A Clockwork Orange yesterday and am enjoying it so far. I was a bit confused by the language to start with but am kind of used to it now.

[Kat]

About to start The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri.

Thanks. I have that on my TBR from the guardian 1000 list

[Maggie]

I've started on The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. This is the first time I'm trying pulp fiction – it's nice how the list introduces us to new genres! I've read the first chapter and I'm enjoying the sarcastic humour.

[Becky]

Less than zero. Bret Easton Ellis. Seriously wondering why I need to read this book before I die. At least it's a short book.

[Mia]

I just started Sputnik Sweetheart by Haruki Murakami.

[Wendy]

Just started Casino Royale.

Regarding A Clockwork Orange I read the book first and loved it, but I feel like watching the movie later ruined the images I had created in my mind. If I'd seen the film first, I think I might have avoided the book, too. (glad I didn't)

[Angelique]

The Nose by Nikolai Gogol

[Mia]

Started The Hours

[Becky]

Sheesh! I did it again - not on the list but Glamourama is. Don't think I'll be rushing out to buy it. Less than Zero was horrid.

[Dee]

Less Than Zero was in the first edition of the book, but removed from subsequent editions.

I love Coetzee and I've read all of his books from the list but I didn't like this book at all... It was boring.

Have to agree Mia it seemed to drag and felt at times like a chore.

[Mandy]

starting The Quiet American...good start

[Tom]

The Secret History Donna Tartt Love it so far

[Kaitlyn]

Just started The Waves. It's my first Woolf book so I'm interested to see how it goes.

[Kat]

I'm hoping that George Eliot's 'Middlemarch' will be long enough to keep me amused for the two weeks worth of train travel around Japan I have ahead of me. If not I have 'War and Peace' as a back up!

I just got back from two weeks of train rides through Japan. Thank goodness for the kindle. Happy Cherry Blossom viewing!

Just started One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey.

[Mia]

Quartet by Jean Rhys. I just started this and I almost read the whole book already x) I like it.

[Melissa]

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. Being a couple chapters in, I'm finding the characters quite absurd.

[Janet]

Cutter and Bone by Newton Thornburg. Intro by George Pelecanos.

[Mandy]

Just selected The Heretic - Migel Delibes

I just finished this book and loved it from beginning to end, although the tone of the book changes as you can probably imagine.

[Luke]

A reread of One Hundred Years of Solitude, in honor of Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez's recent death.

I didn't realize he had passed away until your post. I have had One Hundred Years of Solitude on my TBR list for the past couple of months. I need to give it another try since I couldn't get into the book when I tried reading it 15 years ago.
