What Are You Reading - October 2013

[Michael, Mod Prometheus]

Besides The Bell Jar what are you reading this month?

For me I'm gonna read Murder in Mississippi, NW, The Never List, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler and All That Is. After that, I'm not sure; maybe Careless People: Murder, Mayhem and the Invention of The Great Gatsby

[M.L.]

So far I'm reading Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln and The English Girl.

[Franky]

Currently reading Devil in a Blue Dress and The Secret Keeper. After that, hopefully there will be time for others: The Bell Jar, The Bad Seed.

[Pam]

Presently reading A LIGHT IN THE RUINS; then ON HITLER'S MOUNTAIN; CELLIST OF SARAJEVO AND THE FAULT IN OUR STARS.

[Marcy]

Just read BITCH IN A BONNET and began 3rd reading of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.

[Holly]

Finished The Time Machine and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest this month (I had already nearly finish Cuckoo's Nest, and The Time Machine is only short).

Now I'm half way through Crime and Punishment, in a bid to start exploring Russian literature. While I'm loving it, it is taking forever to read, and that's a pain, but it is amazingly good so far.

I'm hoping to read Alias Grace, as I really need to read some more Atwood, or perhaps Never Let Me Go, for a slightly shorter read...

[Jenny]

I am going to read The House on the Strand, Zazie in the Metro, The Clown, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA and I will tackle Moby-Dick; or, The Whale.

I've already read the 'Bell Jar' and remember liking it a lot, so I might follow the discussion.

@Michael, looking forward to your thoughts on If on a Winter's Night a Traveler and All That Is!

[Kathy]

Just starting The Children of Men; then onto The Chaperone. Just finished Murder as a Fine Art - truly excellent!

[B the BookAddict]

I've just finished The Paris Wife and last night started Border Songs.

Planning to read The Bell Jar a little later this month.

[Julia]

I just read the third book in Catherynne M. Valente's Fairyland trilogy; love the titles of this series :-)

The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making

The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There

The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two
