Couldn't wait until January 1. Started a year-long read of In Search of Lost Time. Did not expect humor. This will be fun!

That's one of my favourite books! And it got me interested in reading other Atwood novels. Enjoy!

Yay! and I'll be starting Ragtime in 10 days or so.

[Mekki]

I'm starting a year of proust also via Swann's Way 'Lydia Davis translation'

[Mikela]

Just got into A Buyer's Market, book 2 of Dance to the Music of Time. Have noticed great similarity between this series and Proust's Swann's Way. Hopefully I'll be finished this in time to join in with the reading of the second Proust book.

[Lisa]

[Beth]

2666 by Roberto Bolaño. I kept putting this one off last year, but I am liking it a lot.

[Charity]

Walden - Henry David Thoreau

[Ann]

I am about 300 pages into Les Misérables. It is wonderfully written, but I am struggling a bit with the extended Waterloo battle scenes. Although, I similarly struggled with the first 50 pages (the Bishop's story) and then appreciated the way in which Hugo pulled it all together. Looking forward to the next 900 pages and getting through the next few pages to learn more about Cosette.

[Ashley]

The Moonstone. So far so good!

Just finished this one in time to watch the movie. I struggled as well with the battle scenes.

[Tasha]

I, robot. I didn't realize that it is a book of short stories loosely laced together. I haven't decided how I like it yet.

[Peter]

Just started The Go-Between by L.P.Hartley. Too soon to tell whether or not I like it.

Humboldt's 's Gift by Saul Bellow.

Hi I wasn't sure where to post this but for those of you who haven't read "The Poisionwood Bible" yet it is on sale today for $1.99 via Amazon Kindle

[Lisa]

I just started Candide by Voltaire. I actually expect to finish it tonight. VERY far fetched, almost reads like a fairy tale it's such a crazy pattern of running away, death & strange meetings...

I agree with Lisa, I thought that would make me hate it but funnily enough the opposite happened - I liked it!

Currently reading Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. Not happy about the edition quality, but the writing itself is good.

[Charity]

Starting Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Høeg.

Oh, have that one on my shelf and kinda been putting off reading it, but sounds interesting! Must give it a go!

Starting The Talented Mr. Ripley

Our Mutual Friend -Dickens

About 250 pages in so far, and feels good. I have yet found a Charles Dickens work to which I really objected.

I really liked that one. And I agree about Dickens. Some complain so many by him are on the list, but it doesn't hurt my feelings in the least.

Started Nicholas Nickelby

I just started Casino Royale by Ian Fleming

Started Moon Palace yesterday & I am already enthralled.

Not a list book, but it's a great book anyway.
