Will be starting this at the weekend, glad to hear you're enjoying it so far.

[Mia]

I started Cane by Jean Toomer and Kadonnutta aikaa etsimässä 5 Guermantesin tie 1 by Marcel Proust. Fifth book from "In Search of Lost Time".

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I started reading:


Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams

[Jake]

I read the day of the triffids and saw the movie as well. Both were well done. The movie came out I think late 50's early 60's? in any event worth seeing after you read the book. great read

I just finished the book and am planning to see the movie, which I never saw back then. I see Amazon prime has streaming of it.

[George P.]

Started Borowski's This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen along with London's Martin Eden. I was able to visit London's ranch in northern California recently, which motivated me to read another of his novels.

glad you enjoyed the book. the movie was a good late 50's early 60's end of the world kind of movie

[Kirsten]

The movie was good but had very little to do with the book. See if you can find the 1980s miniseries by the BBC starring John Duttine. Much more faithful to the book.

[Diane]

Starting The Melancholy of Resistance by László Krasznahorkai.

[Benjamin]

Started Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino. I am already more than halfway through and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

[Sean]

This weekend, I started Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. Have not stopped laughing yet.

[Benjamin]

Started The Pigeon by Patrick Süskind. It is incredibly short so I will either finish it tonight or tomorrow morning. Thus far, it is highly enjoyable but I am having trouble picking up much meaning.

[Pamela]

Just starting Gentlemen Prefer Blondes & But Gentlemen Marry Brunettes

[Benjamin]

Just started The Devil in the Flesh by Raymond Radiguet.

[Jake]

I took loved Catch 22 - read it several times and saw the movie. I think the movie was just not as good as the book, it had its moments but the book was much better capturing the absurdity of war and the modern world that world war 11 ushered in. My favorite scene was when Major Major was made a major because he could not be private major major could he?

I loved Major Major Major Major. I loved that people were only admitted to his office when he wasn't in.

I also saw that there is a new miniseries coming out in May.

[Sean]

I will be reading all of your posts. But don't look for a new one from me for a while. I have just started Gone with the Wind so I will be GONE awhile.

[George P.]

I started Garden, Ashes by Danilo Kis of Serbia & Montenegro. It was a 2008 addition to the list.

[Benjamin]

Started Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges. Most of these stories will be re-reads, but that's fine, because Borges stories cannot merely be read once.

[Sean]

I just got notifications from the library that The Yellow Wall-Paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman and The Pigeon by Patrick Süskind have arrived for me to pick up. Two short ones. I will be reading those this weekend.

[Mia]

Mia wrote: "To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee."

I'm surprised you had not read it before Mia, it's one of the most-read classic American novels, and for good reason in my opinion.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Cataract by Mykhaylo Osadchy. It didn't win the poll, but I put it on order from the library just in case, and since I'm putting off any more Atwood for as long as I can, I thought I'd go ahead and read this one for this month.

[Karina]

Just started The Reader by Bernhard Schlink
