I do hope you grow to like it, Corina. I found the writing so unassuming yet so powerful. I love Trevor's books.

Started Volume 5 of Proust's epic novel: In Search of Lost Time: The Prisoner and the Fugitive: Prisoner and the Fugitive v. 5

As much as I enjoy Proust's writing, our narrator's jealousy is starting to make me crazy. :)

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

I've just started Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe. As well as The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights, which I will very slowly work my way through.

[Pinar]

Today I started reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass :)

[Linda]

Today I started The Hunchback of Notre-Dame on my Ipod, and I'm going to start readingThe Color Purple this week as well.

[Maryellen]

I have just started "Eva Trout" by Elizabeth Bowen and am enjoying so far.

I think that is a great comparison!!

[Lauli]

Their Eyes Were Watching God. So far so good. A little tonimorrisonish... (or should I say Morrison is nealehurstonish?)

I agree.

[Charity]

Just started The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (yes, I'm a bit behind). It seems a little clunkier than Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights so far, but I'm still excited to be reading my first book by Anne!

[Annina]

Velma wrote: Although it's not a list book, if you like Trainspotting I recommend its sequel Porno. Darkly funny and more of Welsh's amazing ability to recreate regional accents in print.


It's not? I was so sure that it's on the list.

I have read Porno as well years ago. I have to re-read it someday.

[Tara]

Just re-embarked on an epic Lord of the Rings journey. I had previously read the 'first' book and about 100 pages of the second, but that was quite awhile ago so I'm starting from scratch.

[Lisa]

Getting ready to start the following:

Schindler's List
Andersonville
Tropic of Capricorn

[Dina]

I've just started Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Next up is The Optimist's Daughter.

[Judith]

Just started American Rust

American Rust - Philipp Meyer

[Jennifer W]

I've started The Hunchback of Notre-Dame.

I keep starting list books and then moving on to something else. The trick is going to be for me to finish one.

[Deanne]

Started The Electric Kool-Aid Test by Wolfe, a book about the 60's and with Ken Kesey, entertaining.

[Sandi]

Picked up Zorba the Greek again after abandoning it around Christmas. It's going slow, this book is not for me. One of my father's favourite books though, so I'll finish it, eventually.

[Kyle]

anyone reading about Kesey should check out Sometimes a Great Notion. It's one of my favorite books.

[~Calyre~]

Just started The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett

[[deleted user]]

I just started on The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas...so far I am liking it. :)

[Diniasih]

i just started Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy :)

UGH. Anna Karenina. Just finished that one. That one was....horribly horrible.

[Judith]

I promised myself when I began working on this list in 2007 that I would re-read at least two of the classics I haven't read since college or high school every year.
This year I've picked "Great Expectations" and "Moby Dick".

I started Moby-Dick a few days ago.

[Cam]

I`m going to the store today to buy 1984...and getting Gone with the Wind at the public libarary....

Just started The Talented Mr. Ripley and am finding it pretty good so far.

I also loved Anna Karenina - it was my first Tolstoy and I found it surprisingly easy to read.

[Charity]

I also loved Anna Karenina. One of my new favorites, in fact.

[Bucket]

I'll jump on the loved-Anna-Karenina bandwagon!

[Deanne]

Just love Tolstoyl, liked Anna but loved W&P.
Finished The Electric Kool-aid Test and started Main Street by Sinclair.

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

Just started an audio book for Hunger by Knut Hamsun.

I ended up skimming it to finish it. It just lost my attention to really finish reading it detail by detail...

[Dina]

Just started The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

That one was actually not that bad. It was a little slow, but I had to read it for summer reading, and it was suprisingly really good.

I've read positive critics about this book and some of my friends recommended it so I decided to read it. By the way I like books about places I've never been. So Congo is not my usual destination :)

[Sandi]

Started The Lover by Marguerite Duras today.

[Donna]

I really enjoyed this book too. I thought the characters were extremely well developed. Loved the palindromes! :)

[Cam]

I thought that was a nice addition! (view spoiler)[ I loved how in the end Adah turned out to be 'normal' in the end. (hide spoiler)]

Poisonwood was my least favorite of Kingsolver's books, and I still loved it - enjoy!
