Looking forward to this one as I enjoyed Boll's "Group Portrait with Lady".

[Deanne]

Started Kokoro by Soseki, interesting for the relationship between the narrator and sensei.

Thanks, Bucket. It is so reassuring to know that a helping hand is nearby. Your finishing the series tells me that this is well worth reading.

[Danyellemastro]

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. For some reason I've been avoiding it for a while (this is my second copy - I sold the first unread) but now that I'm into it I'm loving it.

[Karina]

I just started The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells. I have a feeling I will be entertained as well as grossed out.

[Judith]

The Labyrinth of Solitude and Other Writings by Paz

This one is nonfiction and a thorough discussion of Mexican history. Very interesting.

[Karina]

Just started The Master of Petersburg by J.M. Coetzee. This is my first novel by him. I ordered the book and had to read the first chapter and now I am hooked!

Thank you for the encouragement; I guess while I'm still on summer break I will go back to reading them We can do this!

[Deborah Wells]

I just started The Plague. Eeek!

[Lesley]

The Red Queen; the GR reviews are mixed for this one.

[Arukiyomi]

Hey Deborah... you do know what Camus was really writing about, right? If you don't, the book won't be as special.

I read the reviews and I understand it is ultimately about appreciation for life. Is that what you mean?

By "eeek", I was referring to the rats, the disease, the bodies, etc. before actually getting to the moral of the story. :)

[Amie]

I am starting The Optimist's Daughter

[[deleted user]]

Just started The House of the Seven Gables

[Lisa]

I have recently started Delta of Venus, & Claudine's House....very different genres, they play off each other well....

[Judith]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Time for something light! I'm re-reading Huckleberry Finn by Twain and expect to be at least as amused as I was when I read it as a young adult.

[Sunny]

Pray for me. Starting Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.

[Lisa]

Just started Moon Palace-Paul Auster, as well as the 2 others....almost done with Claudine's House already, should finish that sometime this morning, very easy read...

[Katrina]

Good luck! I started it once but didn't get there in the end, it was too big to read from. Will have to get it for kindle when I get round to reading it again so that the weight doesn't become an issue.

[Lisa]

Decided that since Heart of Darkness is only a 72 page tale, that I'd read that one today & knock it out.....I have read mixed reviews of it...so I'm being open minded....

[Chelsea]

I just started Vernon God Little last night. I've been waiting to read it for a while.. hopefully it lives up to my expectations.

[Donna]

Just started Life of Pi - can't believe it's taken me this long to get round to reading it! Loving it so far!

[Amerynth]

Starting on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy... just a smidge late for the group read.

[Lisa]

Finished both Claudine's House & Heart of Darkness...one is a light, happy read, the other is a pretty dark tale, even though it's short...halfway through Moon palace...easy read as well, his writing is very fluid...

[Melissa]

I started Moll Flanders last week but have lost Interest. I cannot get Past the excessive, nonsensical Capitalization.

[~Calyre~]

Currently reading House of Leaves

[Judy]

Just starting The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

[Judith]

Cane

Cane by Jean Toomer

My first exposure to this author's writing. Very creative, lyrical and sensual.

[Jennifer]

Reading (and not fully comprehending) Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. I can't wait to finish this book... it gives me nightmares.

[Deanne]

Halfway through Outlaws of the Marsh, reminds me a lot of A Dream of Red Mansions.

[Karina]

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. This is my third story by him (The Pearl, East of Eden) and I feel like everyone has read this but me so I will get this one done and over with!

[Alex “Alex Reads All”]

War and Peace. Wish me luck! I loved Anna Karenina, hopefully I will feel the same about this second Tolstoy tome I am attempting.

I'm enjoying it, but it's actually longer than it looks. I fell asleep last night after being referred to end note 39, which referred me to end note 304, which during the 6 pages of THAT referred me to two other end notes. Which is kind of hysterical when you're in the thick of it. I ran out of page markers! LOL!

[Karina]

Started Aesop's Fables last night as my book to read before bed. Going by very quickly. I put down the The Arabian Nights: Tales from a Thousand and One Nights since I can't get into it.

[Karina]

Also, I started reading Cranford byElizabeth Gaskell this morning. This is my first novel from her so I hope I enjoy it!

[M]

Started The Hunchback of Notre-Dame after a long while away from list books. I'm even enjoying the long descriptions of Paris.
