Which LIST book did you just start?


Gripping, and shocking, but I loved this.
As for me, I've just started Les Misérables. This is really great so far - even though I'm only a fraction of the way in - and I don't think it will take me too long to read, despite it's length.

Dbolden, although I'm not even close to completing the 1001 list, I did read The Collector and it is one my favorites on the list, so far!
When you have time, please research the book a bit. You will discover that it was "inspiration" for similar true life crimes. One of the predators was actually found with the book in his hands.



and
The Monastery -Scott
So glad to start another by Scott (such excellent writing) and also intrigued to begin another by Collins (The Woman in White was quite pleasing to read).


But if love had to die, I wanted it to die quickly. It was as though our love were a small creature in a trap and bleeding to death: I had to shut my eyes and wring its neck.

I'm hoping to squeeze that one in before month end.

Also tried to read (again) The Kreutzer Sonata during the non-electronic-device portions of the flights. Found myself preferring to stare blankly at the ceiling instead....


LOL - I've noticed more and more that our reading preferences go in different directions.
