Which LIST book did you just start? Showing 801-850 of 6,816

[Chloe]

Kristen, I've also just started on War & Peace. I'm really loving it so far, though I've barely even begun. I don't know why Tolstoy intimidated me for so long.

[Robin]

Vicky,
Do you mean Kite Runner? Just asking to know if there is another book running around that I haven't heard of.

Wife of GR author: Michael J. Sullivan | The Crown Conspiracy (10/08) | Avempartha (04/09)

[Stephanie]

Just started Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.

[Vicky]

Yes, Robin. Silly me! It's The Kite Runner!

[Leena]

I just started A Child Called It.

[Jon]

Neuromancer by William Gibson and it's also the book club selection for the Science Fiction & Fantasy club here on GoodReads. com

[Kristi]

I started Lucky Jim again, I'll make it through this time.

[Gwenindil]

I've just strart "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen

[Deanne]

The Castle- Franz Kafka

[Galen]

I just started Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie--100 pages in and I am LOVING it. I am actually looking forward to a 9-hour trans-Atlantic flight on Wednesday so I can really get into it.

[Tara]

Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.

[Lisa]

I've just started Pride and Prejudice as well. I am really enjoying it. The only problem is that I have the annotated version, and I have to look up the meaning of the words for some of the phrases. That can slow you down when you're trying to get into the story.

[Charity]

War and Peace

[Charity]

Also, The Godfather.

[Kristi]

Began Tarzan of the Apes tonight. I think this is going to be good...

[Donna]

Ernest Hemingway's For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure.

[Gaston]

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. Only about 20 or so pages into it.

[Sarah Jane]

American Pastoral by Philip Roth.

The first part was a bit difficult to wade through (very wordy and dense), but it picks up in Part II and it less of a ramble. I'm liking it so far.

[Laura]

Good Luck to you Gaston. That book is quite the beautiful beast.

[Gaston]

Thanks! I just finished The Crying of Lot 49 for the second time and thought I would give this one a go. However, I am beginning to question myself for doing this...

[Laura]

Contrary to common opinion, I found it a lot more approachable thanV. It still took me about four months to get through it. I always enjoyed it while I was actually reading it, but it's just so hard to pick back up once you put it down. Damned daunting book. I think you've done well to pick it up in the dreary winter months.

[Gaston]

Well we shall see just how well I've done! It may take me just as long as it did you or longer to finally finish.

Moby Dick

[Kristi]

I finally began If Not Now, When?, I can't put it down!

[Pearl]

I have just started "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer, hey, so far so good ;D

[[deleted user]]

Started a Christmas Carol by Dickens.

[Nikki]

Persuasion - Jane Austin

[H.J.]

Just started Silas Marner by George Eliot.

[Chloe]

I'm still about halfway through War & Peace. I like it, I just wish Tolstoy had had a better editor. 1200 pages on land rights for serfs and court intrigues is a bit much.

I've decided to balance the Tolstoy with a bit of Gogol, so started Dead Souls today. It's a great read, I like Gogol's tongue-in-cheek look at the landowners of 19th century Russia, especially now that I have the historical background from War & Peace.

[H.J.]

I just began reading Little Women and am already quite far into it for only 1 day of reading; I can't hardly put it down. I absolutely love the relationships of the March family and it makes me miss my sisters so much I could cry.

I have seen the movie countless times, but nothing compares to the emotions and passion in Alcott's text. I am loving it.

Dead Souls is much better. It will make you laugh out loud in parts. You will remember the characters there long after finishing the book. You will probably recognize some in your own life.

[Deanna]

I'm in the midst of "Middlemarch" -- fingers crossed I finish it this week.

[Mike]

Started reading Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon 3 days ago. Wish me luck.

[Elizabeth]

I just started reading To Kill a Mockingbird again. It's been over ten years since I last read it and I'd nearly forgotten how great it is. Can't put it down!

[Fr. Andrew]

I haven't had a chance to look through the list yet! But I'm intrigued. I'm also taking lit classes which may slow me down for the time being. But I just started The Picture of Dorian Gray, which I'm hoping is on the list. Ha.

[Lisa]

I didn't just start it, but it is the book I'm still currently reading, Anna Karenina. At this point I have about 200 pages to go and will be so happy to finally finish it. I've been trying to get this book off of my tbr list for years.
I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit and the chapters are a perfect length to get me to read at least one every night before bed.

[Lorena]

I'm currently reading my first Irving, the world according to Garp. I have just started but I am enjoying it a lot.

[Kristi]

The Golden Notebook

[Samantha]

It's on the list--and a really good read. And not too heavy either. I just started reading Slaughterhouse Five. Somehow, they let me out of high school without reading it. Better late than never!

[Stephanie]

Recently started The Poisonwood Bible, which I get the feeling I am going to like and really want to get into, but the hectic holidays have kept me from burying myself in it. Should pick up as things slow down.

[Christina Stind]

Started One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich last night - almost done with it. A very interesting book about the Siberian camps.

[Justine]

I'm juggling Middlesex (maybe almost halfway through), Villette (just barely started), and Infinite Jest: A Novel (read nineteen pages and had to stop) right now.

[Kristi]

I'm halfway into A Room With a View, I really like it. I mentioned already that I started the Golden Notebook, but I'm not very interested in it.

[for-much-deliberation]

Finnegans Wake.
I started this book before, got to page 9 or 10, stopped, got through a few other reads, now i'm back at it.
Has anyone read this and gotten through it?
What are your thoughts?

[Juliane]

Just started "Madame Bovary" by Gustave Flaubert. My first book this year.

[Judith]

"War and Peace" by Tolstoy. Started on New Year's Day, 2009.

[Laura]

Thinker, get a companion book or guide. The language isn't really meant to be intelligible to those not native to Dublin. I've read it, but in order to get any sense out of it, I was constantly referring to the companion. I can't remember which one I used, otherwise I'd recommend it. Good luck!

[for-much-deliberation]

Thanks for the advice Laura!

[Katherine]

I'm currently reading Solaris.

[Sogol]

I just started (Illuminati)Dan Browns...!!
I think its much better than the Danci code!!!:D
