I felt the same way.

Erika wrote: "I finished Gone with the Wind this week. I can't believe I waited so long to read it. Incredible."

I am going to tackle that one next year. Embarrassing that I haven't read it yet, given that I live in Atlanta.

Oh I'm reading that too. It's good so far, I liked Cecilia and Evelina a lot too.

[Crystal]

I recently finished Crime and Punishment. At first I didn't really like it but a few days after I finished I was still thinking about it. I definitely see its literary value.

Now I'm reading Junk by William Burroughs.... not sure why this is a book I needed to read before I die. I'm not loving it.

The Collecter by Fowles, The Stone Diary and Unless, both by Carol Shields.

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.

[Diane]

Cheese by Willem Elsschot. Quick read.

Just finished War and Peace. What a great book. Well worth the 1200 pages.

Totally awesome book. One of the best ever.

[Kathy]

Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Not so good. She changed the personality of Mr. Rochester of Jane Eyre to make her story more believable.

[Sepideh]

I just finished Rebecca.it made me think about what love is.

[Lauren]

I finished Silas Marner about a week or two ago. I also read A Sense of an Ending back in October. I enjoyed both of these books.

[Diane]

Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

[Lecterclarice]

Just finished Lady Chatterley's Lover. Once I started I just couldn't put it down - I was hooked!

Someone quoted that book to me the other day on a "not-date" and I found it incredibly sexy. Is it as racy as the cover led me to believe?

[Ellinor]

I just finished Ethan Frome and Lieutenant Gustl, two very quick reads I enjoyed.

[Ellinor]

Finished Miss Lonelyhearts by Nathanael West which was ok but nothing special.

[Dee]

Mrs Dalloway. I love Woolf's writing style, though this one didn't captivate me as much as The Waves.

[Aileen]

A Clockwork Orange. I can't say I enjoyed it, 2/5*

[Kristi]

The Grass is Singing, depressing but very well written.

[Diane]

The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. I enjoyed it.

[Becky]

Half of a Yellow Sun (audiobook version) - compelling novel about the Nigerian conflict in the late 1960s.

Ahhhhh, I adored that book!

[Mekki]

Giles Goat-Boy by John Barth

[Ann A]

Anna Karenina - Loved it!

[Steve]

The Go Between by LP Hartley, well written but never got that into it, 3/5 stars.

[Edwin]

The War of the Worlds. Amazing stuff, as much for the imaginative SciFi as for the insights into how our society and human psyches can unravel so quickly.

[Wendy]

Metamorphoses by Ovid (from the original '06 list). Totally worth while. It's like a one-stop-shop for your mythological needs. & enjoyable too, if long. My review with pictures is here!

[Diane]

Finished Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse.

[Erika]

I recently finished The Color Purple, which was really beautiful, if sometimes a little tough to swallow. It was a fast read!

And today I finished Perfume: The Story of a Murderer. This was wonderfully written, but one of the more bizarre books I've read recently.

we read this for a book club and I kept thinking really? All this over a great sense of smell? It was a bit contrived and unbelievable for me.

[Setalpgninnpsekil]

I finished Farewell, My Lovely yesterday. What a great read. Love Raymond Chandler's style.

[Mike]

Just finished City Primeval by Elmore Leonard.

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Finished another re-read of Gone With The Wind last week. Have read it, I guess, 8 times? I don't think I'll ever get tired of it.

[Kat]

I finished Aldous Huxley's 'Eyeless in Gaza' this morning! Although I managed to make it to the end, I was never really entertained and barely interested in the characters or their lives. I think I may prefer Brave New World when I get to it as it's the kind of book I would have picked up on my own.

[Dee]

It took me almost a year, but I finally finished Les Misérables this evening.

Finished The Rugged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Trammel last week. I really enjoyed it. Beautifully written and though I didn't agree with the politics it was amazing how much holds true today

[Dee]

It was so good. I really enjoyed how much of it is just a vast portrait of every aspect of French society over a period of over 20 years. The story is amazing, but that is just a small part of what makes it a wonderful book.

[Diane]

Finished Gösta Berling's Saga by Selma Lagerlöf.

[Steve]

Finished Le Choses by Georges Perec


Didnt like the style my review

I was reluctant to start this book, but I'm reading with a group - the schedule is set for 5 months. But I surprisingly found myself wrapped up in the story immediately and had to stop myself from reading too far ahead of the group. I'm only ~10% in so far.

[Mia Claire]

Les Misérables is amazing. I didn't expect that I'd stick throughout the whole book. It is just unfortunate that the copy I bought is the abridged version of Simon & Schuster Enriched Classics which was erroneously labeled as "Complete and Unabridged"(oh the deception). But nevertheless, it is still a masterpiece to behold. Perhaps I should read it again. And this time, the entire unabridged edition.

[Lauren]

I just finished Middlemarch by George Eliot. I thought it would take me months to read, but I was enthralled! Wonderful story, and I highly recommend it!

[Judith]

Finally finished The Monastery by Scott. I liked it quite a lot, but was too distracted by other events to read it in any shorter time. I think it took me three weeks!

The Monastery

[Diane]

Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. Pretty amazing, although not an easy read due to the very long sentences (I think there is a sentence with over a thousand words in it). Great story. I liked it so much better than The Sound and the Fury.

[Mandy]

Just finished Cats Eye - Margaret Atwood. Enjoyed it though sad in places.

Cutter and BoneNewton Thornburg
What a fantastic book!
