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

Thank you. I am on page 150 and for now it's amazing. I really enjoy .

[Lisa]

I just started Schindler's List(Ark for some translations), as well as Sons & Lovers, also by DH Lawrence. Hoping that one's better. Wasn't thrilled with Women In Love..

Also picked up Andersonville, White Noise, & Tropic of Capricorn. Read Tropic of Cancer & liked it, so I thought I'd read the next one.

[Susan]

Reading Dracula and King Solomon's Mines at the present time.

[Craig]

Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde -Stevenson,
King Solomon's Mines -Haggard,
and
Treasure Island -Stevenson

[~Calyre~]

Just started The Tartar Steppe

[Steph]

Just started Slaughter-House-Five. It's been on my list of books to read forever!

[Ginny]

At the end of my spring break which is sad, but almost through with Atonement. Am also reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame and trying to get through Moby Dick. I'm finding myself drawn to the older books on the list.

[Gini]

Been away from list reading for a while. Just starting Moll Flanders.

[Pinar]

Just started Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne :)

[Deanne]

Picked up The Unfortunates by Johnson at the library, and was presented with a book in a box. Opened the box and a number of little booklets were inside. One was described as First, one as Last and the rest can be read in any order.
Johnson doesn't name the midlands city, but from what I've read it sounds like Nottingham where I live. The castle built on a sandstone cliff, and the caves where people lived into the 1800's, some were used as air raid shelters.
Newstead Abbey gets a mention, home of Lord Byron.
Wasn't going to start reading until I'd finished The House by the Medlar Tree but those little booklets are very tempting.

[~Calyre~]

Reading Blue of Noon

[Cam]

Reading The Three Musketeers, and reading Gone With the Wind next. :)

[Judith]

The Home and the World by Tagore

So far, very interesting....

[Denise]

Currently listening to The Plot Against America. Have several of Edith Wharton's works on my table to be read next.

[Kristine]

I've got 2 on the go with For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Quiet American.
Both look to be intriguing.

[Bucket]

Woah! Never heard of this one, and it sounds fascinating! Is it on the list though? I found three other books by B.S. Johnson (House Mother Normal, Trawl, and Albert Angelo) but not this one.

[Bucket]

Ah yes, and I am about 50 pages into The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. So far, it's easy reading - wish I would have read it in about 2003, as I think it would have meant more to me then. :)

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

I've started The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield

[Deanne]

Bucket, unfortunates isn't a list book though it is on the guardian list, which seems to be a lighter list of books.

[Cam]

Just started and

[Donna]

I'm finishing off a non-book list (Eragon) at the moment, but just beginning Crash by J.G. Ballard at the same time.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Next up for me is The Bridge on the Drina, which I'll start tonight.

is too a list book!! :)

i loved it.

[Danyellemastro]

Alice in Wonderland - I used to watch the live version of this repeatedly as a child so the images being conjured for me are beautiful and nostalgic.

One of my favorite, and it's book from my country. I hope you'll enjoy. :)

I was so tired last night, I read only about a dozen pages. But I love how it starts out; the bridge is so central to the lives of the people, that there are legends and folktales associated with it.

[Bucket]

Hmmmm - sorry dbolden but I don't see it on any of the three lists. Which one are you seeing it on?

Complete error on my part - reading the thread wrong apologies both! I thought you were saying the Bell Jar wasn't on the list and had a small cardiac arrest as its one of my faves!

Sorry, sorry, sorry. My rude tongue is firmly back in my mouth.

[Danyellemastro]

My husband has just picked Trainspotting out for me - wish me luck!

[Beth]

Just started The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing on audio. Loving it but won't be done for awhile since it is like 18 hours long and I don't listen to audio that much.

[Deanne]

Dbolden
Hope you enjoy Trainspotting, loved the film too. Remember watching it with friends from NZ and UK. Those from the UK were laughing from the start, but it took twenty minutes before the kiwis got used to the accent.
Started The Blind Side of the Heart by Franck, getting some reading done as I've managed to break a toe, told by A+E to keep the foot up so off work for a few days.

[Bucket]

dbolden - no problem; happens all the time! There's at least 3 conversations going on at once.

Beth - I really enjoyed The Golden Notebook!

Deanne - hope your toe feels better! It's almost (not quite, but almost) worth it for the time off to read!

[Peter]

Just started Oroonoko or, The Royal Slave by Aphra Behn. Not quite what to expect.

[~Calyre~]

Starting Wuthering Heights

[Lisa]

I have 2 going at the moment, one a list read, White Noise, which I'm really getting a kick out of, LOL the other a free read, The Paris Wife, but about to start MacKinley Kantor's Andersonville. Why not? I just finished Schindler's List, so why not go back in time from WW2 to the Civil War?

[Lisa]

BOTH of these are on my all time favorites list! Enjoy!

Uncle Silas -Sheridan Le Fanu
and
Madame Bovary -Gustave Flaubert

Take your time and read, read, read!

[Katherine]

I have started reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James for a class. This is my first James, so hopefully I like it enough to start knocking the rest of his entries off the list! Meanwhile, I had to abandon those I started during spring break (The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights and The Invisible Man) for the term. Bummer.

I`m enjoying them both so far. :) Thank you!

[Peter]

Started Money: A Suicide Note by Martin Amis. Have heard such good things about this book and am really looking forward to it.

Stick with Invisible Man when you have a chance; it's worth it!

[Deanne]

Started Parade's End by Ford Madox Ford, big read but lots of pages to get to know the characters.

[Kris]

I just started The Master - only one chapter in but enjoying it so far. I love Tóibín's style.

[Judith]

My next re-read is Great Expectations!

[Bea]

I'm about an hour into listening to The Age of Innocence, narrated by David Horovitch. I'm throughly enjoying it. I put off reading more books by Edith Wharton for far too long. An assigned reading of Ethan Frome in high school gave me the impression she was heavy and humorless. The current read is almost a comedy of manners so far.

[Mikela]

I've read about 50 pages of Get Shorty - so far it's pretty interesting.

[Kristine]

9 pages in to Waiting for the Barbariansand also slowly meandering through Middlemarch: A Study of Provincial Life
