The history of the Seige of Lisbon

Looking forward to this one - no periods! Well reviewed however.

[Yassemin]

Aesop's fables. It's okay but a bit boring lol

It is well worth the time. I loved A Suitable Boy and it was my favorite book of 2015. I hope you like it.

I have also just started it, is one of the book of the month's in one of the other Goodread books, I belong to and, so far it seems to be bri..."

I read Rickshaw Boy last year and liked it. Hope you do too.

[Linda]

I just started two books - Hard Times by Charles Dickens and The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen. The Corrections is a reread, but I remember almost nothing about it since I read it 12 years ago. Enjoying both so far.

I read this when it first came out and I was in my early 20s. It started a real appreciation for Seth's book. I was really captivated and I guess it is due a re-read. Wonder how it feels 30 years later.

[Peter]

Just started The End of the Affair by Graham Greene

[Lynecia]

I just started "The Enchanted Wanderer" by Nikolai Leskov
My edition is part of Melville House's "Art of the Novella" series, and I really credit it with getting me into Russian lit. So quirky, absurd and hilarious.

[Amy the book-bat]

started The Black Dahlia today. Hoping to get past all the stuff about boxing soon and into the investigation part.

[Elle]

I am going to start a Charles Dickens novel this evening but I am still attempting to pick out what one. Given how I've only ever read A Christmas Carol, I have a lot to choose from.

[[deleted user]]

i just started The Children's Book this afternoon.

[Kirsten]

I started A Dance to the Music of Time: 1st Movement by Anthony Powell earlier this week.

[Nicola]

Are you going to read it as a yearly project like so many of us do Kirsten? Or are you going to try to read it in 'one go'?

[Tyler]

I started Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Suskind a few days ago. I'm really looking forward to it.

[Katherine]

I started House of Leaves last week, but a well-timed spooky moment convinced me to put it on hold until my husband comes back from his weekend trip. I've decided to take my time with this one anyway.

[Jim]

Good morning!

I started The Count of Monte Cristo on or about January 16, 2016.

Jim

[Jennifer]

Suffering through The Magic Mountain. Please tell me if gets better. I feel like I'm stuck in the cold with a bunch of crazy hypochondriacs.

I started that recently and think I will a different book in between each volume. I like it so far and having already gone through Proust, I am optimistic.

[Nicola]

The Man of Property - the first book in the Forsyte Saga

[Karina]

Just started The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes. Seems like a short read and so far, so good. Still need to finish Glamorama but I think I am going to shelve it for now.

[Ellinor]

I'm in the middle of Platform by Michel Houellebecq and of Nada by Carmen Laforet. Very different books but I'm enjoying both of them.

I loved that one.

[Angelique]

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou...so far I am really enjoying this book.

[Zonnah]

I started Tirant Lo Blanc today.

[Rusty]

Just beginning Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope, Can't find my edition in the listing so I'm just listing it here.

[Linda]

I'm about 100 pages in to American Pastoral, my first book by Philip Roth. So far, it's just OK.

[Dree]

Yesterday I started The Charwoman's Daughter by James Stephens.

The writing style is very dated and simplistic. I am already halfway through. I have no idea why this book is on the list, but I do have half the book left. I have not read anything else by this author so have nothing to compare it to.

[Linda]

I'm about 250 pages in to Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset.

[Nicola]

The Voyage Out and I'm Not Stiller. Two rather different reads.

[Dree]

Linda wrote: "I'm about 250 pages in to Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset."

I loved this book, and it's one I would never have found if not for the list!

[Dianna]

The Satanic Verses

[Dree]

Starting Nervous Conditions tonight.

I'm loving it too! I hadn't heard of it until someone mentioned it in another group awhile back, and then I happened to see that it was on the list. :)

[Meg]

Forster 'A Passage to India'. I hated 'Howard's End', so hope this is better

[Dianna]

I didn't care for Howard's End either. I preferred On Beauty by Zadie Smith which was, I guess, a modernized version of Howard's End. It was on the original list but I guess I haven't checked to see if it's still on there now.

[Bam cooks the books]

Villette about a young woman trying to find her way alone in life.

[Peter]

What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe. Enjoyed the author's Rotter's Club, not on the 1001 list, so live in hope.

[Angelique]

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

[Jennifer]

It took me three attempts to get past the opening chapters; but, it was well worth the effort. An incredible novel.

[Rusty]

I've just finished The Bridal Wreath by Undset, the first in the series, and am beginning The Mistress of Husaby, the second in the Kristin Lavransdatter series. Liked Wreath very much!

[Linda]

I just finished The Wreath too! I've got to wait until March to begin the second, though, as I'm buddy reading it with a couple of friends.

[Iesan]

1st timer here..not sure if its ok or not with : Julius Ceasar and War and Peace(By Leo Tolstoy).
Will update in a week or so.

[Elise]

I'm justing starting my 86th book from the list - To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. It's my first Woolf, so I'm quite excited to begin.

War and Peace is on the list, but Julius Caesar isn't. The list is mostly novels (though there are some exceptions)

Let's see if you retain that enthusiasm :-) Woolfe is rather more miss than hit with a few people.

[George P.]

The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon. I'm actually about halfway through. Sometimes it's very engaging and sometimes just weird.

[Nicola]

The Razor's Edge - I'm sure this will be a good read, SM is an amazing writer.

[George P.]

Far from the Madding Crowd I'm also half way through this one now. Like my recent experience reading Orlando, by Woolf, I'm thinking"why did I wait so long to read a Thomas Hardy? He was wonderful writer." Maybe a five star for me.
Also startingThe New York Trilogy, as it's the March-Apr group read. I'll go slowly since I'm a little early, and I'm reading 3 other novels as well.

[Ginny]

Really struggling with Stranger in a Strange Land. I'm 80% through,but really disliking it. I don't like any of the characters and getting to the point that I don't even care what happens just as long as the book ends. Not a good feeling.
