November may still seem like a long way away, but 2666 is a really long book. I just started it.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

The Soldier's Art by Anthony Powell, #8 in The Dance to the Music of Time

[Karina]

Just started Rites of Passage by William Golding

[Angelique]

Diane, when you're done, this is a nice dramatization of that book done by BBC radio, if you're interested.

Thanks!

Is Dubliners on the list? I relished most of the stories, but that collection is not on the list I'm following. I hope I'm wrong."

No, it's not on the list.

[Diane]

The Lonely Girl (aka Girl with Green Eyes) by Edna O'Brien.

[Ellinor]

H is for Hawk and Uncle Silas

[George P.]

Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood. I splurged on an autographed copy, she's a favorite.

I'll be starting it in about a week, once I've finished The Country Girls, it's predecessor.

Three others by Joyce are on the list, Dubliners isn't, though it's excellent.

[Vikki]

I am reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest." I am actually enjoying the book, I didn't think that I would.

I fully enjoyed that book also. Good Stuff!

Nice!

[Diane]

Starting The Left-Handed Woman by Peter Handke, the newest Nobel Laureate.

[George]

My favourite of the nine Atwood novels I have read so far. I too would love a signed copy! Signed copies of favourite books is book heaven!

[George P.]

Girl with Green Eyes by Edna O'Brien of Ireland. Also known as The Lonely Girl, our Oct-Nov group-read choice.

[Diane]

Junky by William S. Burroughs.

[Mia]

Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes.

[Diane]

Quartet in Autumn by Barbara Pym.

[Diane]

The Singapore Grip by J.G. Farrell.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Diane wrote: "The Singapore Grip by J.G. Farrell."

I thought that was really good--I've been meaning to read Farrell's other books, but I haven't got around to them.

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

Aesop's Fables

I haven't read a book off the list in quite a while! And this one counts for both: it's on the 1001 Children's Books list as well. :)

[Nocturnalux]

Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo.

[Ellinor]

I think The Singapore Grip is the best in the trilogy but the other two are really good too.

[Mia]

The Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton.

[George P.]

Nocturnalux wrote: "Pedro Páramo by Juan Rulfo."

Rulfo's book The Burning Plain and Other Stories (which is very good) is on the list, but I don't think Pedro Paramo is. I plan to read it eventually though.

[Willa]

Pride and Prejudice , which is surprisingly funny- not something I had ever heard about it.

[George P.]

The Quiet American by Graham Greene (The Englishman, not the native American actor). I read seven of Greene's novels decades ago (but not this one), so I feel like I'm revisiting the old days.

[Sean]

I just started Kristin Lavransdatter by Sigrid Undset. This makes the 4th translated and long novel in a row for me.

[Jennifer W]

I've started Death in Venice. I am heartened to see some comments from a bit ago that many people like this one. I'm not sure about it yet.

You are, of course, right. But I am very glad I picked it up as I found it both challenging and highly riveting a read, so much so that before even finishing I had already ordered The Burning Plain.

Meanwhile, I picked up A Sentimental Journey. Thus far it is almost as funny as Tristram.

[Peter]

Drop City by T.C.Boyle

[Mia]

Agnes Grey by Anne Brontë.

[Ellinor]

La Celestina by Fernando de Rojas. Enjoying it a lot.

[Vikki]

Just started Agnes Grey.

[George P.]

The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans).
I read and enjoyed her Silas Marner in May. This year is the bicentennial of her birth.

[Marlise]

Just started...

In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

[Nocturnalux]

Long overdue, I just started Their Eyes Were Watching God.

[Diane]

No Laughing Matter by Angus Wilson.

[Mia]

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende. I'm really exited about this one.

[George P.]

A rather obscure German one, Patterns of Childhood by Christa Wolf.

[Nocturnalux]

Finally, I have picked up Dom Quixote de La Mancha.

One of my favorites.

Started a re-read of The Shining by Stephen King.

I finally am going to read East of Eden. by John Steinbeck. This was one of my father's favorite books.

Unfortunately it‘s Not on the list. Just Grapes of Wrath, Cannery Row and Of Mice and Men are.
