[Karina]

Just started The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by Milan Kundera

[GW]

Le Père Goriot – Honoré de Balzac and Eugénie Grandet

[Birthe]

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie and Between the Acts by Virginia Woolf

[Diane]

Started Morvern Callar by Alan Warner.

[Karina]

I started The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt a few weeks ago, and it’s taking me longer to read because if I learned anything from reading her other book, The Secret History, I will remain more invested in the story if I break it up and read other quick books in between because if not, I am going to hate read, and I really don’t want to hate read a book in 2019 if I can help it.

[Diane]

Started Thursbitch by Alan Garner.

[Karen]

I loved the Goldfinch, but, like you, it took me a long time to read it and I was reading other books at the same time.

[Mia]

The Kingdom of This World by Alejo Carpentier.

[Diane]

The Enchanted Wanderer: Selected Tales by Nikolai Leskov.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Diane wrote: "The Enchanted Wanderer: Selected Tales by Nikolai Leskov."

I thought those were pretty good--I liked the story Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk especially. It wasn't too long after reading Leskov that I read a selection of Tolstoy's stories--they reminded me a lot of one another, though I have to say that I enjoyed Tolstoy's more

[Alice]

The Passion according to G.H. by Clarice Lispector

[Benjamin]

Started The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie. So far it is very interesting.

[Mia]

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz.

[Diane]

Started Pointed Roofs, the first of 13 books in Pilgrimage by Dorothy M. Richardson.

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

I recently (a few weeks ago) started Jane Eyre. It's my bedtime book so I'm reading it pretty slowly. It's following up a string of Jane Austen books, and I'm surprised by how much easier I'm finding it! Not that Jane Austen is particularly difficult reading, but Jane Eyre practically reads like a modern novel. I'm really enjoying it.

[Mia]

I started Exercises in Style by Raymond Queneau and Disappearance by David Dabydeen.

[Alice]

Almost Transparent Blue by Ryu Murakami

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Berlin Alexanderplatz: The Story of Franz Biberkopf by Alfred Döblin

[Gemma]

Just about to start If This is a Man by Primo Levi.

[Diane]

I started London Fields by Martin Amis a couple of days ago.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

You must, after you're done, watch Fassbinder's adaptation..."

I've heard several people talking about it. I'm definitely going to give it a try

[Peter]

Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood

[George P.]

Starting Howards End by E. M. Forster. Curious that there's no apostrophe in Howards. It's one of the Feb books for "Catching Up With Classics" group. I've seen the film with the dream cast of Emma Thompson, Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter and it was very good.

[Hilde]

George, there is also a new miniseries recording by BBC (2017/2018) of Howards End that was excellent as well in case you haven’t seen that.

[Diane]

Started 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami.

[Mia]

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.

[Diane]

Bartleby & Co. by Enrique Vila-Matas.

I saw the film years ago and enjoyed the book.

[Sarah]

Bryan wrote: "The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoy

Both this and The Death of Ivan Ilych are included in The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories, translated by Pevear..."

I enjoyed both. Hope you like them. :-)

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Sarah wrote: "I enjoyed both. Hope you like them. :-) "

I did--I thought they were excellent. I thought all the stories in that collection were good.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

I will!

Excellent suggestion! I can't wait to hear it. :-)

[Sarah]

Started Clarissa: or The History of a Young Lady, Volume 2 by Samuel Richardson.

[Sean]

I started The Goldfinch about a week ago. Just found this group. I also just picked up The Reader to get started in February.

[Alice]

Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Cphe wrote: "The End of the Affair"

I just picked that book up a few days ago. I like a lot of Greene's writing, but some of it didn't appeal to me at all. I've got high hopes for The End of the Affair.

Started Portnoy's Complaint by Philip Roth.

[Tyler]

I started The Heat of the Day by Elizabeth Bowen this week.
