Starting Torrents of Spring by Ivan Turgenev.

[Nicola]

I'm currently reading I, Claudius and I'm browsing very slowly through The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling. That one is an old favourite so I'm reading it very much off and on - whenever I feel like a break from more serious books.

[Sarah]

Starting Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy

[Lynecia]

I just started Arrow of God by Chinua Achebe

[Sarah]

Just started The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells.

[George P.]

I read it a year ago and liked it 4 stars worth. Rather long, but nice work.

[Cynthia]

Reading The Quiet American by Graham Greene. Saw the movie w/Michael Caine as Fowler years ago, that's worthwhile, too.

[Karina]

I just started The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz. I am about 40 pages in and I am really enjoying it so far. I didn't realize how many awards this book has won.

[Dree]

I started Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake. I am reading this with another group, we'll see how it goes--it does not sound like my kind of book at all!

Oh, maybe it will surprise you! I just read all three Gormenghast books and absolutely loved the first two. I thought the second one, Gormenghast, was the best, though.

Linda inspired me to request my library to buy the trilogy and I'm going to read the first one shortly. I love fantasy books and these seem to be quite quirky so they should be right up my personal preference reading alley!

[Nicola]

I've just starting listening to Metamorphoses so that will take forever!

I'm also reading The Charterhouse of Parma but I really need to up my reading otherwise I'll be falling behind in my reading targets for this year.

Nice! Every library needs this trilogy. And it is quirky, I hope you like it, Nicola!

[Karina]

Just started Nineteen Eighty-four by George Orwell, this is my first of his and I know he has a few on the list!

[Linda]

I just started Justine by Lawrence Durrell. It's the first book in the Alexandria Quartet, but only the first one is on the 1001 list.

[Diane]

Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee.

[Diane]

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons

[George P.]

Oscar and Lucinda, by Aussie Peter Carey, and Beloved by Toni Morrison.

Recently started Cane by Jean Toomer, now I'm starting Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren (which apparently I have never read before ?!).
