[Ana]

I'm reading "Lord of the flies" by William Golding.

[Linda]

Just started The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri

[Chel]

I started Pnin by Nabokov. It is very good so far.

[Elizabeth]

I just started "White Teeth" and the first 3 paragraphs were notably good!

[Denise]

Ann from SC,

Glad you like Anna Karenine. I just read this last year and really loved it. Tolstoy has such sympathy for people.

[Lynecia]

Just started "To The Lighthouse" by Virginia Woolf.

[Mike]

Just started The Virgin in the Garden A Novel.

Heard different things about it, so I'm excited to see if it adds up

[Stacie]

Just started The Three Musketeers and am enjoying it so far.

[Susanna]

Going to start Mitchell's Cloud Atlas sometime today.

[Carys]

Susanna wrote: "Going to start Mitchell's Cloud Atlas sometime today."

I'm reading that at the moment. Really enjoying it.

[Colleen]

I just finished turn of the screw and I just started Gulliver's travels by Jonathan swift, so far so good.

I've just met Frobisher, so far I'm enjoying it too. :)

[Denise]

...there's only so much a vampire does, and he does it over and over again.

Thanks. That made me smile.

[Robyn]

I have just started Middlemarch by George Eliot. It's been on my to-read list for a while.

[Judith]

On Beauty - Zadie Smith

[Chel]

I am half done with Nightwood by Djuna Barnes. I don't like it at all with its excessive descriptions of everything and nonsensical behaviors of its characters.

[Christina Stind]

I just started 'To the Lighthouse' - so far a good book, but it sure does demand concentration to keep up with it.

[Jerry]

Just started rereading The World According to Garp after 30? years.Still very good.

[Anna]

Olga Tokarczuk | Dom dzienny, dom nocny

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

My next one will be either Middlemarch, or Rebecca

[Linda]

Just starting Go Tell It on the Mountain. Trying to finish making the lit. selections for my 16 yo daughter's school year, but I already have a feeling this won't be one of them.

[Judith]

Though I have not finished "On Beauty", I started Sinclair's "The Jungle" today. This is such a tragic story I only hope I will be able to finish it. I've put it off for a long time for that reason...

[Anna]

Fifty Dead Men Walking | Martin McGartland

[Carys]

The Seaby John Banville

[Anna]

Sandworms of Dune | Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson

[Inez]

I just started "The Blind Assassin". Its' not bad so far, but I'm hoping the sci-fi part will pick up soon.

[Mike]

Starting The End of the Story A Novel by Lydia Davis. So far I'm not especially impressed

[Judith]

Hawksmoor - Peter Ackroyd

[Deanne]

The grapes of wrath by Steinbeck

[Chel]

I started and finished A Clockwork Orange (great) and started Lolita.

[Susan]

I just finished To Kill A Mockingbird, and I'm now reading Middlemarch.

[Christina Stind]

Currently reading John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. So far it's quite good, a bit depressing, but good and so well-written.

[Kay]

Just started in earnest on Alan Hollinghurst's 'The Line of Beauty', which seems to leave a lot out and I'm having trouble engaging with the sketchy characters. Anyone else read it? I haven't been able to read much Salman Rushdie since 'Midnight's Children', which I thought was amazingly good. Foucault's Pendulum I just couldn't get into- too convoluted, whereas Name of the Rose is one of the best books I've ever read. Hesse's Glass Bead Game I thought was a masterpiece. Murakami's Windup Bird Chronicle was truly amazing and rather hallucinatory at times. So there's a bit of feedback for others!

[Anna]

Oliwkowy labirynt | Eduardo Mendoza

I thought it was a total wank and very self-indulgent- silly cult book as far as I'm concerned- I finished it- looked back through it and then threw it out!

[Kristi]

Beginning Middlemarch today, I don't know if I'll finish before the 15th.

[Anna]

Madame Bovary | Gustave Flaubert
Homo bimbrownikus | Andrzej Pilipiuk

[Krister So]

Just started Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera. His writing style is so elegant and poetic, that one loses himself in the varied flavors of historical fiction. Can't wait to finish.

[Gini]

Amanda wrote: "I just started Middlemarch, too...she's like a really intellectual Jane Austen. And more sarcastic. I like it."

If you love Middlemarch, then I suggest reading Vanity Fair. Much biting satirical comment at that society.

[Stacie]

Getting ready to start a re-read of The Scarlet Letter.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Just starting a re-read of Little Women. I couldn't get my hands on a copy of Middlemarch for now, so I am going to miss the group read this time.

[Stacie]

I started Choke last night. I am not that far into it, but am already really enjoying it.

[Gaston]

Infinite Jest

[Stuart]

Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman.

[Cindy]

Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis. I'm already in hysterics at page 15.

[Ann from S.C.]

I'm going to start ATLAS SHRUGGED by Ayn Rand. Is it on the list? I can't seem to find it.

[Dan]

It's not on the list...at least not the 2006 list. It's a little hard to get through at some points but worth the effort to finish. I'd love to hear what you think when you're done or even along the way.

That's good to hear - I just picked this book up at my local library as I was looking for a quick, fun read for this weekend.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Ann - I don't think it is on the list, but it should be. Both Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are great books!

[Deanne]

Just started The Red and the Black by Stendahl, only 60 pages in but enjoying it so far.
