The Purloined Letter by Edgar Allan Poe. It was a very enjoyable read. Wish it was a little longer.

I've heard people post this before, but I am posting again...."I wish Goodreads had a 'Like' button!"

You know they do in some spots, like reviews and other stuff, but not everywhere, plus you can just hit reply and say "i like" :) Or we can just say DITTO

I like the purloined letter as well!

DITTO :)

I recently finished The Fox by D.H. Lawrence and Ragtime by E.L. Doctorow, both very good books. Last night I finished All quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque which was brilliant but also the most gruesome and depressing thing I've read in a long while, maybe ever. I definitely need something light now!

[Edwin]

Finished Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency last night, also on the SciFi and Fantasy Bookclub shelf. Great stuff!

[Colleen]

The name of the rose - loved it!!

Love that book.

[Karena]

The Ground Beneath Her Feet. I may need to go and refresh myself on the myth it's based on. Interesting book. Definitely not my last Rushdie. I have The Satanic Verses slated for next month.

[Rusty]

Just finished Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne. What an entertaining book! Don't know why I didn't read it before!

Great book this. Now try Eighty Days: Nellie Bly and Elizabeth Bisland's History-Making Race Around the World for a completely, but not, different vision of this.

[Wendy]

Just finished Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov. I moved through it slowly because the story is told through footnotes on a poem. Lots of flipping back & forth, lots of poetic languages to sink your teeth into. I went in with trepidation, but enjoyed it a lot. Despite the high degree of "metafiction-ness" it's still a compelling story with more than a little humor. And even...slapstick? Who knew?

[Diane]

Just finished The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.

[Jean]

Just finished
byD.H. Lawrence

[Kaitlyn]

Just finished Villette. It was brilliant.

I'm completely in agreement with you there, Kaitlyn.

[Tasha]

Surfacing by Margaret Atwood

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

White Teeth.

[Jean]

Nemesisby Philip Roth

Excellent book. I really enjoyed it.

[Diane]

Cataract by Mykhailo Hryhorovych Osadchyi. Outstanding book.

[Sarah]

Cain by Jose Saramago. Five stars for a subversive, funny little read.

[Erika]

Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh.

Written in a Scottish dialect, crude, dark, and full of filthy language and graphic depictions of heroin addiction. Not an easy pill to swallow (no pun intended), but pretty brilliant.

[Colleen]

Just finished The Sound and The Fury. My goodness this is just incredible. Emotionally fatiguing but just some awe-inspiring writing. Looking forward to more Faulkner when I've recovered! Five stars (would give more if I could!).

[Stephanie]

My first and only Faulkner was As I Lay Dying. And I hated it. Read it in high school. Wrote a scathing critique of it. Got an A on my paper with the comment " I guess you didn't like the book"

[Luke]

I've read Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury and Light in August. Loved them both, and plan on reading a lot more of him.

[Ellinor]

Finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I liked it much better than I expected.

[Mandy]

Finished Hemmingways "The sun also rises"....liked it better than some of his other stuff.

[Kat]

I've just finished Primo Levi's 'The Drowned and the Saved'. Probably one of the hardest books I've ever read, but I'm really glad I did.

[Colleen]

Mrs Harris goes to Paris - what a sweet, uplifting little book :)

[Mekki]

Mrs. Dalloway - A good read. Something to read and reflect on.

[Karena]

I just finished Mrs. Dalloway as well! I can't say it was one of my favorites, but it was definitely well written. :)

[Edwin]

White Teeth, quite impressive.

[Kai]

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner. Started out very good, but I got bogged down with the actual memoirs bit.

[Judith]

Fugitive Pieces - Michaels

Fugitive Pieces


Beautiful sensitive writing.

[Genia]

Finished Capote's In Cold Blood, which was really interesting and well-written.

I read that a few years ago. It was excellent.

I've been meaning to read that for ages. Hoping that 2014's the year for it.

[Luke]

Fatelessness by Imre Kertész; review here.

[Mekki]

I just finished The Stranger. An outstanding first novel.

Camus questions life, religion, death and a person's relationship with world. Another book to reflect on.

[Ellinor]

Finished The Devil's Pool by George Sand. I really like George Sand's prose and I actually also liked the story. But as it is listed as a gothic tale I had hoped for something creepier.

[Luke]

Shirley by Charlotte Brontë; review here.

I enjoyed Mrs. Dalloway but I loved The Hours.

[Erika]

I just finished Rebecca. I really don't know how I've overlooked this incredible story for so long.

I hope to read that here within the next few months.

[Diane]

Finished Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally. Great book about a great human being.

I also liked The hours more.

[Colleen]

Just finished Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett. Gave it four stars; really fast paced and quick read. Now thinking in the lingo :D

[Lauren]

Just finished White Teeth. I gave it three stars. I liked it, but did not love it. I'll fully review it at some point.
