It took a while, but I just finished The Magic Mountain.

And I think I may have, Jennifer. I may not have understood it all, but I did enjoy the story part of it.

I definitely didn't understand it all. I liked the story part of it, too. The philosophy parts are what killed me! :)

The Awakening by Kate Chopin. Melodramatic but such good writing. 5 stars.

I just finished ---
The Trials of Persiles and Sigismunda: A Northern Story by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

The title of this book is also listed as "The Travels of Persiles & Sigismunda". However, the original Spanish title used the word "trabajos" which literally means "works". To me, "Trials" is closer to "Works" than "Travels", so I went with "Trials". This might not matter to anyone, but I thought I should clarify in case anyone thought I had made a mistake.

Metamorphoses by Ovid. Some parts were pretty dry, but I overall enjoyed how smooth the narrative was. I can only imagine how much research it took to collect all the myths in the collection alone!

[Mia]

Callirhoe (AKA Chaireas and Kallirhoe) by Chariton

I read that earlier this year. I thought it was an interesting read as well.

[Andrew]

Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.

Great Apes by Will Self.
I found the first 300 pages or so of this novel an outrageous roller-coaster of a ride but unfortunately there were still a quarter of it to go.

[Radiant]

Finished Sense and Sensibility on Friday. It was my first Jane Austen novel and I liked it... although after taking a closer look at myself through the lesson in that book... I may have some work to do.
