Finished A Day in Spring by Ciril Kosmač. Beautifully written.

[Karen]

The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

[George P.]

Karen wrote: "Waiting for the Barbarians: A Novel by J. M. Coetzee
Tough book, but very thought-provoking."

I read about 7 yrs ago, liked it a lot. I liked his Disgrace also.

I'm reading his books in chronological order, so I've got Life and Times of Michael K next.

[Bob]

Coming Up for Air by George Orwell. The writing was good and he had some pithy quotes, but generally the story wasn't all that interesting.

[Dree]

Deep River by Shūsaku Endō

[Olivia]

I just read Anne Brontë’s Tenant of Wildfell Hall but didn’t enjoy it all that much. Thought it was a bit slow.

That's too bad, it's one of my favorites. An early depiction of the toll of domestic violence.

[Diane]

Finished Under the Net by Iris Murdoch.

[Diane]

Finished Rashomon by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa.

[Carol]

Rabbit at Rest, last of the rabbit series by John Updike. Good books

[Laura]

Just finished treasure island thanks to my husband’s challenge. Don’t tell him but I quite enjoyed it 😜

[George P.]

Luís wrote: "To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf"

How did you like it? It is on my list to read in about a year.

[Laura Hailstone]

Read Alias Grace and watched series on Netflix- very interesting

[Tim]

Just finished, 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

[Laura]

The Big Sleep. I’ve not seen the film but I can imagine the book lends itself well to it. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

[Diane]

Finished Passing by Nella Larsen.

[Ellinor]

Finished The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch. It was brilliant!

[Dree]

Rickshaw Boy by Lao She. Rather sad and predictable, but also an easy read from a reading level standpoint.

[Diane]

Finished Life of Christ by Giovanni Papini.

[Sarah]

Finished Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland.

[Sammy]

Just finished Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, in preparation for theMarch discussion. Very much enjoyed it actually!

And squeezed in The Great Gatsby too.

[Diane]

Finished Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson.

[Ella]

I've just finished Their Eyes Were Watching God, almost done this month's book Wuthering Heights -- got behind b/c I read a bunch of non-list books instead and as soon as I finish that, I'm onto The Picture of Dorian Gray. I should look to see what the group is reading together in February, I suppose.

[Peter]

The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark. A thin read but one with hidden depths.

[Karen]

The Castle of Crossed Destinies by Italo Calvino
I found this book fascinating. Calvino uses Tarot cards to tell a variety of stories.

[Diane]

Finished Albert Angelo by B.S. Johnson. A nice, light read for a change.

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

Finished Zeno's Conscience. I really liked it, but perhaps it was a trifle long

[Nicole]

Just finished Pippi Longstocking. It was an easy and light-hearted read.

[Karen]

Blaming by Elizabeth Taylor

[Karen]

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

[George P.]

Journey to the End of the Night by Louis-Ferdinand Celine (France). A longish rambling novel from the 1930s, of a struggling and rather depressed character. Some great parts along with some tiresome parts, 4 stars.

[Tim]

A Journey to the Center of the Earth, Jules Verne

[Karen]

The Year of the Hare by Arto Paasilinna
This was a delightful book to read (so many of the Boxall books can be a little depressing). After hitting a hare with his car, a Finnish journalist decides to "play hooky" and spend time exploring Finland with the hare. Sounds crazy, but it was a wonderful read.

[Mia]

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. I didn't like it at first but the more I read it the more I liked it.

[Mia]

Karen wrote: "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie"

Did you like it? I've read almost every book by Christie and this one is definitely one of my favorite.

[Tim]

H. G. Wells, The Island of Dr. Moreau

I did enjoy it. Very different from the other Poirot mysteries.

I'm hoping to get to this one this year.

[Diane]

Finished The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard.

[Karen]

The Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector

[Jennifer]

Just finished Wuthering Heights which I absolutely adored although I thought the two main characters were fairly hideous...guess that might have been part of the point.

[Karina]

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov

I really, really enjoyed this novel. The imagery and the allegories are just amazing. And it was fun, too. Didn’t think I would enjoy the antics of Woland and Behemoth.

[James]

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. While it's length will put many off, I loved every page.

[Diane]

Finished Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin.

[Karen]

It is worth the time and so much better than the movie. I read the book first, loved it, then watched the movie and was very disappointed. I wish they would do it as a miniseries.

[Karen]

The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan

[Bryan--The Bee’s Knees]

The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles
