I've loved it! Now I'm determined to read as much as possible of her biography. *_* Do you have any recommendations?
I'll probably read The Prince of Tides after finishing Pale Fire. :)

I'll be reading Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter for our library book club November meeting; we just read Beloved this month, and it was heartbreaking and powerful. No wonder Toni Morrison won the Pulitzer for it.

I LOVED this book! And I didn't even know it - not one of the most famous of Dicken's book.
I'm about to start - when my tablet wears out of battery! - Friend of My Youth, the first of some of Munroe's novel thatbI'd like to read this month

I'm reading The Child Thiefby Brom next. It looks pretty interesting for a dark modern retelling of Peter Pan.

I finished The Thirteenth Tale Late last night and will post my thoughts at lunchtime. So next I am going to start Wuthering Heights
I really need to try fit Wuthering Heights in this month. It's my planned read after A Tale of Two Cities!
Holly wrote: "I really need to try fit Wuthering Heights in this month.

My next Kindle book will be the first book in The Forsyte Saga, The Man of Property for my readalong with Valetta.

Awesome laurat. I'm reading it next and will do a readalong of it when I get it soon from the overdrive ebooks library. I'm #1 on the holds list now so I'll get it next when they send me the email to pick it up.

Not sure I can help much as I haven't read any of those. If I'm deciding between a few books I sometimes read the first page of each and stick with the one that grips me most :)

Cheryl, I've read 2 of them - Gone with the Wind and Under the Dome. Depends what you like, really - both are quite long winded, but also a good read.

I have only read Gone With the Wind, which I enjoyed. Sad to say, I haven't heard of the other books you list so I can't even make uninformed advice!
I am going to be reading UnSouled next as it is the next in the series I am currently reading.After that I will start my A-Z challenge with All the Truth That's In Me
Will finish this evening The Leopard. And my next novel will be Elfriede Jelinek's The Piano Teacher.

Definitely Gone with the Wind 5 star read, in my opinion.
Can someone help me pick which book to read next?I'm torn between:
The Yellow Wallpaper
Wuthering Heights
The Bell Jar
A Streetcar Named Desire

The Yellow Wallpaper is quite short, so maybe that would be a good choice as you mentioned elsewhere that this upcoming week will be a busy one.

Read The Yellow Wallpaper. It is very short and you can finish it tonight, so you might as well do it. The Bell Jar would be a good one to follow that up with.

Thank you both! I'll definitely give it a go. It is a potential book for my coursework, if it suits my title idea better than Crime and Punishment
Holly wrote: "Thank you both! I'll definitely give it a go. It is a potential book for my coursework, if it suits my title idea better than Crime and Punishment"I am willing to read Crime and Punishment with you next year, if you want!
@Leslie Crime and Punishment is one of my potential reads for next yeR. Think I might need a friend to read it with!
I'd be happy to discuss it with people even though I've already read it! It's definitely a book that blew me away!
Heather wrote: "@Leslie Crime and Punishment is one of my potential reads for next yeR. Think I might need a friend to read it with!"OK, when I get close to reading it, I will check in with you.
I'll get back to reading City of Bonesafter I finish the child thief by Brom and after City of Bones, I will be ready to read A Christmas Carol and Anthem for the tattered tales book club readalong/group read in December. I may read Northanger abbey then too but we'll see how far I get in my reading. ^_^
About to start both The Child Thief and A Scanner Darkly for this month.
Next one I have City of Bones in poll position!
