[Robyn]

I am currently reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence and I am looking forward to starting The Sound and the Fury.

[Joy]

I am currently reading Crewel World ... just recently read The Art of Racing in the Rain (very good!) and A Year on Ladybug Farm (very good!) I'm finishing up April challenges today and tomorrow, and then looking forward to reading The Sound and the Fury, as it will help me with a couple of May challenges, as well as be the group read here!

[Casey]

I'm actually reading a few things at the moment, but Up In The Air by Walter Kirn and Bumped by Megan McCafferty (to review for my blog/vlog) are the main ones.

[Joy]

Is anyone else reading The Sound and The Fury yet? I am on page 46 ... about halfway through the first chapter, and I'm not making much sense out of it so far. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who is tackling it!

Publisher's Weekly said, "Jacobson follows his debut, Night of Flames, with another solid WW2 thriller."
Now available wherever books are sold.

I'm back to reading Shades of Grey for the moment, and will hopefully finish it to review by next Monday. It's taking me quite a while, unfortunately.

I just finished reading The Book Thief a few weeks ago. The book was selected for our library discussion group. I had trouble getting into it, but after the first 50 pages or so, then I really started to like it.

Now I am reading The Girls from Ames which I probably will finish by Tuesday. After that I'll once again attempt to finish Freedom by Jonathan Franzen, which I gave up on a few months ago.

[Lori]

It's been horrible! I haven't finished but one book all year despite starting many really good ones. Right now I'm reading Leaves of Grass, Corelli's Mandolin, and The Worn Out Woman. I'm going to do my Rory-ish best to finish Leave of Grass.

this is on my to read list i hope to get to it soon. good to hear its so good-maybe once i get to it we can discuss it if you'rev up to it:)

[Lauren]

currently i'm reqding The Lace reader, The HElp- Kathleen Sockett and The Oracle Of Istamboul- Michael Lukas

[Casey]

At the moment I'm reading:
- Parvana's Journey by Deborah Ellis (it's a quick read and something different for once)
- Stargazer (Evernight, #2) by Claudia Gray (for review on my blog/youtube channel)

[Clare]

I'm reading Jane Eyre for the first time, actually I'm getting near the end. I can't believe I've never read it before, I absolutely love it, a new favourite!

Lots of controversy over whether much of this is fictionalized despite some basis in truth. Just a heads up for anyone picking it up now. I've had a copy from way back for a group read but souldn't get into it at all. While the proverb -- custom of three cups of tea appeals -- this book was not my cup of tea!

And when you finish -- you must locate the Rory group discussion in the previous discussion here and read it -- we had a wonderful discussion on that one. Enjoy both the book and the thread on it here. Jane Eyre has been a favorite of mine from my first reading at around age 12 and I've reread a few times since.

Thanks Dottie, I shall go and look for that now. I finished the book on Wednesday and I loved it so much!
Reading Atonement now.

[Lori]

I finished Our Man in Havana. It was really good. I'm going to read on Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass (perhaps finishing) and try to read Light in August. I find myself asking what Rory would read as I'm picking out a book that isn't on the list. I'm such a nerd!

[Jamie]

I'm currently reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, I read this book haphazardly in high school and thought it was time to appreciate it a bit more

Let me know what you think - I read it but didn't like it at all.

I definitely will! I remember enjoying it in high school and I love magic realism so I think I'll love it. But I can see why people wouldn't like magic realism.

THIRTEEN REASONS WHY by JAY ASHER

Oh cool! I'm actually picking that up from my library tomorrow - looking forward to reading it.

The Gates by John Connolly :)

I am currently re-reading George Orwells '1984'.. I just love it for its scary futuristic image.

I'm reading Night and Day by Virginia Woolf, the 2nd book she ever published.

[Melanie]

Currently reading One Day and Dune.

[Nikoline]

Right now I'm reading Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. It's a classic and a must read, so I decided the time had finally come for me to read it, but lately have been doing so much school work I haven't had the time to really get started on any books. Hopefully that will change soon.

[Melanie]

Currently reading Warbreaker and The Shadow Rising.

I felt the same thing about Wuthering Heights, Anne, and can honestly say I hated it and wish I hadn't bothered. I didn't like the characters and the story just didn't flow for me...Hope this doesn't put you off; it's obviously a classic for a reason and it just didn't click for me.

[Audrey]

Jane Slayre. One of the mash-up books. Its Jane Eyre as a vampire slayer. Its okay.

[Maryellen]

I am reading "The Raising" by Laura Kasischke. I am enjoying so far- good mystery for October.

[Gitte]

I just started Couples by John Updike.

[Casey]

I just finished "If I Stay" by Gayle Forman and now I'm reading Charlotte's Web - a childhood favourite - but also "Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Grammar"

[Melanie]

Just finished Inside Out and am currently reading A Clash of Kings and Eragon.

[Julia]

I've almost finished 1776 and I'm in the middle of The Monstrumologist.

[Rhonda]

There is no shame in reading this innovative and thoughtful work. Humiliation is an embarrassment of riches. Highly recommended. I just saw a giveaway posted at new york journal of books, great for free, but worth the money too.

[Lori]

I've been reading Dracula lately. My hope is to finish by Halloween. I might have a shot at making it! I love how the story is told--through journals, letters, newspaper clippings. I can't wait to see what happens.

[Antje]

I just started with reading books from the "Rory list" and my first one was Moby-Dick. Surprised it hasn't been read by this group, as it is mentioned early in Season 1 - but then, there are soooo many possible choices. Anyhow, if anyone is interested, here is my review
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

[Montana]

Jane Eyre is a classic piece of literature, BUT it has its dry moments. I understand Bronte's concept for the novel, but some moments in the book are quite boring.

[Diana]

I'm currently taking a break from Wizard's First Rule and started The Belly Dancer last night. I haven't gotten very far I was just suddenly not in the mood to read anymore.

[[deleted user]]

Tonight I'll start reading after the quake by Haruki Murakami. I'm a huge fan of Murakami. Anyone else?

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper yesterday. Now I'm reading Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich.

[Kaitlyn]

I'm reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower for the first time! I know most people have read it already, but I never got around to it. I'm glad I finally did!

[Casey]

I'm reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and Heist Society by Ally Carter at the moment.
I want to get around to The Perks of Being a Wallflower soon, before the movie comes out.

[Aoibhínn]

I've already finished Visions of Sugar Plums by Janet Evanovich, which was a short but hilarious novel, an now I'm about to start reading The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen.

[Kaitlyn]

I recommend it so far! It's a really quick read, too.

[[deleted user]]

Im reading Bel Canto but plan to read A Tale of Two Cities soon!

[[deleted user]]

I just finished reading a really amazing book called The Pursuit of Cool. I could not put it down, the characters totally sucked me in! And there is a lot of 80s pop culture in it. It's all about what "cool" really means. Highly recommended.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished the 3rd book in the Maeve Kerrigan series by Jane Casey last night - I really enjoyed this novel and I can't wait till the next one! Jane Casey is becoming one of my favourite crime authors. This morning, I began reading by Heather Gudenkauf.
