I started Peter Pan and then thought 'Do I really need this?' ............

Please avail yourself of some words. We all have our own horror story(see what I did ..."

Hahahaha! In all fairness though, I HAVE been warned by, well, practically everyone, about reading it. I am still early on in the process, and right now I feel like this book is a strange jumbled-up ball of entangled thorns that poke you EVERYWHERE however you try to hold it (and you still can't tell where the pain is coming from). I don't know if I should be concerned about the fact that despite all that, I can't seem to be able to put it down just yet.

I am waiting for the Effort Justification paradigm to apply itself here.

Had to google that. Well I'm going through the same process with Nicholas Nickleby. I find most Victorian novels to be trying.

I actually haven't read that. Do you recommend it? I seem to have a strange craving for complex literature lately.

It's not complex, rather more obtuse (and only to me) and literally literary. It's Dickens at his sentimental and coincidental best.

Hi Kath, I'm a sucker for Dickens, but I'd still recommend it. I'd recommend David Copperfield and Great Expectations first though, if you haven't tried them already :)

[Michael]

I'm reading Ludmila's Broken English by DBC Pierre, and loving it.
Beautiful language, manages to go from heart rending to pant-wettingly funny in the same sentence, great stuff.

I actually have read both of those. Wonderful books. Especially Great Expectations. I stopped counting after the 10th time I read it. :) If you got any more to recommend, by all means throw em my way!

[Amber]

I'm 39 chapters away from finishing Un Lun Dunwhich is a pretty good read for a YA book and am 7 chapters away from finishing A Dozen Black Roses by Nancy A. Collins. Both reads are still pretty good. I hope to finish them soon. :)

Sorry, that pretty much exhausts my Dicken's repertoire :)
I'd love to know what you think of Nicolas Nickleby though.

[Faye, The Dickens Junkie]

I'm reading Ithaca, and enjoying it very much so far.

[Sarah]

I am reading Vurt by Jeff Noon - as to whether I am enjoying it, I have to say I feel like I am looking into a glass box where everything is happening I can hear muffled conversations but I do not really know what is going on.

[Lindsey]

I'm just stating "Dreaming out Loud" by Benita Brown. Picked it up in the library a while ago and just getting round to reading it now

[Amber]

I'm currently reading my next YA read wind in the willows which is pretty good so far and am almost finished with A dozen black roses by Nancy A. Collins.

[Louise]

I have just finished reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and thought it was a good book. Although I was partially annoyed by the way he ended the book as we do not find out what happens to Hazel and whether she lives on with the cancer or if she pulls through. I wonder if it was intentional?

[Sara]

Bible NLT, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, Your 100 Day Prayer, and the Artist's Way.

[Amber]

Doing my bible reading challenge and for my general one its ready player one and the horror movie society.

[Tracey]

Late to the party, but I'm finally reading The Book Thief.

[Becca]

The Scorch Trial by James Dashner, it definitely is pretty insane. And I thought The Maze Runner was pretty crazy. There are so many plot twists... and nothing is as it seems. I am just expecting the worst of things to happen, but I guess that comes from my reading of dystopia.

[Jasmine]

I'm currently reading World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Jasmine, that sounds really interesting!

What do you think of it?

I first read this book as a part syllabus and it did alter the way I look at post Independence India. I am very glad you are enjoying it.

[Shreya]

I finished 2 books from The Hunger Games Trilogy Boxset. But I shall start Mockingjay tomorrow. For tonight, I'll switch things and read a story or two from Switch Bitch

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Shreya, I'm interested to see what you think of Mockingjay!

[A]

Just started with . Expecting a lot from it!

[Amy]

I'm reading "The Notable Brain of Maximilian Ponder" - about a man who shuts himself away for 30 years with no outside distraction to record every single memory and detail in his brain. It's great and I do recommend it, but I would have gone down a slightly different route with the plot line. Good nonetheless, and a very enjoyable read!

[Dytana]

I am reading Pleasure Seeker

You need to let us know if this is any good! I've heard a lot about it but I'm still unsure.

You will not be disappointed!

Enjoy it and let us know what you think.

[Kassandra]

I loved that book Amy! I hope you enjoy it.

Half way through Divergent. I thought I'd start it early!

Holly wrote: "Half way through Divergent. I thought I'd start it early!"

Isn't it simply great!!? I loved the book SO much....in fact, the whole series was good:)

[Holly, That Geeky One]

87% way through and really enjoying it. Although parts of it are slightly predictable (Tris/Tobias romance for example), it is an enjoyable read. I'll definitely be reading the next two, when I find the time.

[Tara]

I am currently reading The Daniel Plan: 40 Days to a Healthier Life, Northanger Abbey, Outlander, and After Her

[A]

I've also started with and still reading

[Mike]

Reading The Goldfinch by Tartt. It is living up to the hype.

[Amber]

I am finishing Ready Player Onetonight and will start on Redwallnext. I'm still waiting on The Shining Girls for the readalong and am reading Peter Panfor my book club's recommendation swap.

[Amber]

Awesome Iasa. I am starting it soon. I read a book called The Child Thiefby Brom last year which is a dark version of Peter Pan and Brom was inspired by the original Peter Pan to write the Child Thief and it was a pretty good read.

[Mike]

Finished The Goldfinch last night. Starting Bleeding Edge by Pynchon today.

[Holly, That Geeky One]

Liz, I've read Middlemarch, and didn't find it too bad. It does pick up though, at the start it is rather slow.

Feel free to message me about it :)

[J.M.]

Currently reading This Star Won't Go Out by Ester Earl! I've read 86 pages in 2 days and for me that's a lot (I usually read in little chunks)! I needed to read something like this at this point in my life and I'm glad I'm reading something from a young person. If you consider reading it though, just read up on the premiss first. :D

I do that same thing, Faye.

[J.M.]

It is, Sandy. :) I think it's going to change a lot of people in the long run.

[Amber]
