Novel with Cocaine by M. Ageyev.

[Carol]

H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald

[Peter]

The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing
After about 50 pages I was about ready to throw in the towel and give up, I felt that it was boring. But I persevered and even on completion I'm still unsure whether or not I made the right decision.

[Diane]

The Revenge for Love by Wyndham Lewis.

[Diane]

Fool's Gold by Maro Douka.

[Pamela]

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

[Yrinsyde]

I just finished The Colour Purple. I'm glad I read it while I'm in the middle of doing my Read Africa challenge - it made the part set in West Africa more evocative.

[Diane]

Mother by Maxim Gorky.

[Sean]

Like Life by Lorrie Moore. It took me some time to decide I liked it. I liked the way the stories were only kinda linked together.

Also finished, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. This had some moments of amazingness. Fun and strange at the same time.

[Diane]

Insatiability by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz.

[Liander (The Towering Pile)]

Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Definitely got more out of this one than when I first struggled through it in my teens. Fun to read when I'm in a piratey mood from watching Our Flag Means Death and in preparation for watching Black Sails.

[Diane]

What a Carve Up! by Jonathan Coe.

[Pamela]

The Guide by R.K. Narayan.

Delightful book by one of my favourite authors.

[Diane]

V. by Thomas Pynchon.

[Carol]

Re-read Père Goriot by Honoré de Balzac. . .

. . . which I last read 50 years ago in high school.
I remember enjoying the book back then, but not having the depth of understanding that I do now. It's a sad commentary on the lengths parents will go to for their children; with the result that the more you indulge your children, the less they appreciate it. (Not always, of course -- but much too often) And the book is quite topical in its scorn toward the demands of society.

Mia wrote: "Paradise of the Blind by Dương Thu Hương."

I got a copy which I plan to read probably near the end of the year. Your rating makes 4 of 4 of my GR friends who rate it 4 or 5 stars.

I should re-read One Hundred Years of Solitude, it's been a long time.

The Spy Who Came in From the Cold by John Le Carré

I am not sure if Le Carré is my cup of tea. This is my second book from him and I don’t love it as much as others seem to.
