I just began The Year of the Flood, Margaret Atwood's new book.

[Anna]

The Feast of the Goat | Mario Vargas Llosa

Vera, or The Nihilists, A Florentine Tragedy-A Fragment, and La Sainte Courtisane | Oscar Wilde

[Jay]

I started with Dracula with the Infinite Summer community

[Chel]

I started Pricksongs and Descants two days ago.

[Aaron]

Just started The Crow Road by Iain Banks

[Chel]

I just started The Invention of Curried Sausage. It seems like it will be really great.

[Vikki]

I have just started "The Invisible Man" by HG Wells.

[Vikki]

The Yellow Wallpaper. I saw it a long time ago as a movie and was intrigued enough to want to read the book. Actually it is a story rather than a book.

[Vikki]

Thanks Marina, for that synopsis of War and Peace. I really want to read it but have felt that it was a bit daunting. You have made me feel like I can tackle it. I think I will start it right after Christmas when I have nothing going on and can just read.

[Stacie]

The Woman in White

[Chel]

I started The Good Soldier. I might put it on hold and read Hideous Kinky instead, I'll decide today.

[Charity]

I'm at about the halfway mark in The Club Dumas by Arturo Pérez-Reverte (2008 list) and ooooo, it is good! A great read for this time of year...suspenseful and sinister and gripping! I saw the movie adaptation (The Ninth Gate) years ago, but it hasn't spoiled my enjoyment of the book whatsoever. Very good stuff.

[Silver]

Recently started Beloved it is a bit difficult to read becasue to the style of it, and though I do not dislike it, I cannot get really drawn into it so far.

[Eliza]

I'm currently working on Les Miserables.

[Richard]

I am working on the Book of Isaiah. The Bible

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I just started Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. So far it seems a much easier read than Middlemarch was.

[Deanne]

The savage detectives by Bolano, really enjoying it and want to know what happened to Madero. Just have to keep reading.

[Kristi]

Started Watchmen last night.

[Kristi]

Still working on Watchmen, but also beginning Their Eyes Were Watching God.

[M]

I've started Anna Karenina. So far, so good.

[Anna]

It's really great book.

Przenajświętsza Rzeczpospolita | Jacek Piekara

[Eliza]

I started Trainspotting. not really loving it.

[Kristi]

I've had Trainspotting on my shelf for a couple weeks now, but I keep putting it off...

I'm finding it very hard to read and not because of the story. I've seen the movie I was prepared for the story. What bothers me is that he spells out the words phonetically with the scottish accent (Ah=I Ma=my and on and on). It bugs me when authors do this slang and jargon I expect but I think he overdoes it a bit. So far when I can interpret it the story isn't terrible.

[Deanne]

I enjoyed reading Trainspotting, and remember watching the film in new zealand with three friends. Didn't have subtitles so whilst two of us were laughing the others were shaking their heads and saying what for about the first twenty minutes.
Just started Written on the body and Mother London,(which is not on the list).

[Kristi]

That is why I'm worried about Trainspotting, not because of the subject matter. I am currently reading Their Eyes Were Watching God, and most everything is spelled out phonetically. It's quite a challenge.

[Chel]

I started All the Pretty Horses. It is very good. I am putting off Hideous Kinky for later just because I want to read some other stuff first.

[Judith]

I started "Wise Blood" by Flannery O'Connor yesterday.

I read "A Good Man is Hard to Find" a couple of weeks ago and wanted more...

[Vikki]

I just started Dicken's Bleak House. Like all his books it is a little hard to get into.

[Judith]

"The Stone Dairies"* - Carol Shields

[Yrinsyde]

I plan to read Monkey, Gone with the Wind (a favourite - I've read it a few times already) and Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

[Kristi]

Not on the list, but Await Your Reply A Novel.

[Cindy]

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier.

Good one, Kristi! - I went to a Chaon reading 2 weeks ago. Haven't read it yet, though.

[Chel]

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings It is very good so far.

[Gini]

House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I almost gave up during the endless descriptions at the beginning, with their sermonizing tone, but finally we have achieved some plot.

[Yrinsyde]

Monkey! It's Monkey Magic!

[George]

I have heard good things about "Await Your Reply", I think I will add it to my to be read list.

[Kay]

Yelena wrote: "Started An Obedient Father this morning. The writing has been good, the story disturbing. I'll keep you posted." I couldn't keep reading- the corruption and the even creepier father made me cringe too much.

[Kay]

Logan wrote: "I just started Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game. I think it's the last book of his that I haven't read and I am really glad that I've saved it until the end because by page 60 he's referenced obscu..."
When I read this book it was just about the best thing I'd ever read- so clever and complex and insightful!

[Kay]

Meghan wrote: "Incommunicado - I am currently reading Foucault's Pendulum and I have to say it's really hard for me to finish. I'm only a third of the way done, and normally even long books, only take me ..."
I couldn't get into it- was too complicated and I couldn't get a handle on the characters- too alien for me. I only read 1/3- thought that was enough as it was a very long read!

[Katherine]

I am reading On the Road right now. I somehow convinced my US History professor that it was perfect for a book review, so I get class credit while I mark another book off the list!

[Anna]

Rzecz o zabłąkanej duszy | Sergey Sadov

Way to go!

[Chel]

I started the three volume, medieval, Norwegian epic Kristin Lavransdatter two days ago. The author, Undset, is a Nobel laureate. I am a third way through the first volume. It is very good.

[Stacie]

Les Mis

[Anna]

Pod jarzmem | Ivan Vazov
Boy - Żeleński. Błazen - wielki mąż | Jozef Hen

[Christina Stind]

Just started Trainspotting.

[Deanne]

The ragged trousered philanthropist by Tressell. Only started last night and nearly 300 pages in. In my defence I was on call and had to stay at the hospital as I live a twenty minute walk away. The telly in the room was broken and I wasn't called in,(No major accidents in Nottingham last night and no one needing brain surgery at two in the morning-hurray) so I read a lot.

[Kristi]

Finally started Trainspotting. I'm able to read it pretty quickly at this point, I've gotten past the 'language' barrier. So far, I like it better than I expected.
