Which LIST book did you just start? Showing 6,501-6,550 of 6,816

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

As advertised, I started The Red and the Black. I am so enjoying the 19th Century French authors!

[Kristi]

I'm reading The Mysteries of Udolpho. I'm 14% done and haven't even gotten to what I thought the book was about. It's easy enough to read, but there is a lot of repetition. And fainting.

[Katrina]

100 pages into Brave New World and loving it, suprisingly easy read.

Persuasion is my favorite Austen book. If you can get a hold of Belknap Press/Harvard press's annotated and illustrated version, it is a real gem. It was so wonderfully done - with bits of letters to her sister, fashion plates of the day, paintings and insights on the books Jane was reading at the time etc... They are issuing one a year. I am now re-re-re-reading the annotated P&P.

[Mayaluna]

I've gotten into Moby-Dick, and much to my surprise I am rather enjoying it. Leslie Fiedler's literary critique in Love and Death in the American Novel has been a great companion to keeping my interest alive.

I loved Middlesex."

Me too!!!!

[Andrea]

I just started this months book, Everything is Illuminated. I'm struggling. I feel like this one is one you either love or hate. I really hope it gets better. I really wanted to like this one.

[Mandy]

Just started Red Harvest...Hammetts books so far are great for being compact stories - lots of action over a few pages!

[Ed]

Just started Money by Martin Amis.

[Maggie]

rereading Brave New World & just picked up At Swim Two Boys. I'm new to the challenge but looking forward to it!

The story itself gets better but I'm no sure I like the style or the concept.

Ed Let me know what you think, I almost read that a little while ago but couldnt get it from the library and the stupid B&N is now 49% coffee shop and 49% digital book seller and 0% real books that are worth a shit. So let me know if its worth putting in some more effort:)

[Mekki]

I've started Gulliver's Travels and The Master and Margarita

[Karena]

I went to a reading of the "Odd" chapters of The Grapes of Wrath last night. Santa Cruz Reads just won a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts so they've been doing a month of events based on the novel and Steinbeck. It was a great reading and it prompted me to pick the book up. It's really good so far.

It's one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy it!

[~Calyre~]

Currently reading The House of the Seven Gables

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Snow came in at the library. Different than what I've been reading of late, but quite good so far.

I haven't read To the Lighthouse, so I can't say. I did read Orlando, which is also a list book, and vastly preferred Mrs. Dalloway.

[Ed]

Started Tono-Bungay by H.G. Wells on my Kindle in addition to reading Money by Martin Amis in paperback as I indicated 2 days ago. And listening to Gogol's Dead Souls.

I'm about half way through American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.

[Karena]

The God of Small Things

[Mandy]

I quite "enjoyed" this one, not goingto say anymore but would love to hear what you thought when you get finished!

[Grada (BoekenTrol)]

I just started Amsterdam by Ian Mc Ewan

[Peter]

About a third of the way through Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh and am rather enjoying it.

Won't be long, I'm about 3/4 through now. Keep an eye out in the "finished" thread!

Enjoy!

[Ian]

Just started "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
It has begun well. I have high hopes.

[Ursula]

Started The Black Dahlia. I expected this to be a quick and easy read but it hasn't fallen into a rhythm for me yet.

[Karina]

Just started The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.

[[deleted user]]

I just printed off the whole list and trooped over to the local library and picked my first three. Currently reading Angela's Ashes, and after that I will offiially start! Can't wait!! The first three books I have picked are The History Of Love by Nicole Krauss, The Art Of Fielding by Chad Harbach and There But For The by Ali Smith. God I love the feel of a hardcover library book with crinkle wrapping! My favorite sound in the world with a nice cuppa tea!!

[Christine]

Cortney those are good picks.

[Anne]

I just finished The History of Love. Loved it!! Enjoy! I have The Art of Fielding sitting on my table staring at me. Going to get to it very soon.

[Karena]

Starting The Namesake

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Vathek

[Ann A]

Starting The Big Sleep. Have to remind myself we women were all silly, brainless flirts back then!

[Karena]

Getting ready to start Of Mice and Men

[Diane]

I just started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick.

[Glorianne]

I just started The White Tiger but I'm already almost finished with it and trying to decide what to start next...

[Cherene]

I started Catch-22 and have been supplementing it with Everything Is Illuminated. I would say that this months group read is being heavily overshadowed by Joseph Heller.

[Judith]

The Diviners - Margaret Laurence
The Diviners

Still working on The Dictionary of the Khazars which is fantastical to the max.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Yesterday I started Excellent Women, an amusing read.

[Melanie]

I just started Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe which has been in my TBR stack for several years.

[Deborah Wells]

I started Beloved a couple of days ago and it's going pretty quickly. About halfway through so far. I'm enjoying this book.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Started Cigarettes last night. Only a chapter in - it's different.

[Stephanie "Jedigal"]

Les Liaisons Dangereuses on audio.

Re-started The Forsyte Saga because I had a long break due to Kindle dying due to a gravity-related malfunction, and I felt I was away from it too long, almost a week I think.

[Mekki]

I started Crossfire
