[Kimberley ❤️]

I've just started reading The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett and I'm loving it so far.

[Pam]

Just started Lolita. The subject matter is a bit out of my comfort zone, but some good literature is like that.

[Anna]

Upiór południa. Czerń. by Maja Lidia Kossakowska
Oko jelenia. Drewniana twierdza by Andrzej Pilipiuk

[[deleted user]]

Just started Animal's People by Indra Sinha on the 2008 list.

[Lauli]

About to open Fortunata and Jacinta by Benito Pérez Galdós. I usually enjoy books from the late nineteenth century, so I'm hoping I'll like this one. Long, though.

[Kate]

Alice in Wonderland. So excited.

[Yrinsyde]

I've just begun The Life and Opinions of the Tomcat Murr by ETA Hoffmann. It is making me chuckle right from the first page!

About halfway through The Tin Drum, I wanted to see the true origins of two of my favourite 'magical realism' books 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and 'Midnight's Children' and so far I am not disappointed...

[Judith]

"Seize the Day" - Saul Bellow

I think I'm going to enjoy it.

[Becky]

The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

[Tanya (aka ListObsessedReader)]

Baltasar and Blimunda by Jose Saramago

[Anna]

Wyjątkowo wredna ceremonia by Tomasz Bochiński

[Becky]

The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells

[Anna]

Kuchnia żydów polskich by Eugeniusz Wirkowski - Cuisine of Polish Jews

[Christina]

"Disgrace" by J.J. Coetzee. The books was part of a care package to me as I am in Iraq. I would not normally pick this one up, as it deals with a poetry professor 30 years older than one of the students he "seduces?," the setting is in South Africa. I have not gotten far enough yet, but the cover says the book addresses issues of race, gender, age discrenpancy, and so forth. Quite a bit for a slim 200 page novel.

[Chel]

I started The Underdogs a few days ago. It is supposed to symbolize the late 19th century revolution in Mexico.

[Becky]

Everything that rises must converge by Flannery O'Connor. I think I read many of these stories in college but her writing is so enjoyable I'm happy to read them again!

[Katherine]

I am starting The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde.

[Judith]

I'm starting "The Grapes of Wrath" today. I've put this one off for a long time, dreading all the sadness and misery in the tale; but it's time to consume it now, I think....

[Denise]

Good for you Judith, Grapes has been on my TBR forever. I won't be getting to it anytime soon though.

I just started "Go Down, Moses" by William Faulkner.

[Anthony]

I'm starting Wittgenstein's Mistress by David Markson

[Jay]

Just started D H Lawrence's 'The Rainbow' in anticipation of the March discussion. I'm shrorisedvat how quickly I'm getting through it.

[Anna]

A Polish Son In The Motherland: An American's Journey Home by Leonard Kniffel

[Carys]

Just started Tess of the D'Urbervilles yesterday

[Sharon]

Currently reading On Beauty by Zadie Smith. Not loving it but it has it's moments. Thinking of starting Gabriel’s Gift by Hanif Kureishi as I know nothing at all about it.

[Karen]

Emma wrote: "I'm finally reading Jane Eyre and can't believe I never picked it up sooner. (considering I've had a copy of it for at least 5 years)"

I wish I hadn't read it so that I could read it again for the first time (I meant to write my post in this way, and yes I know it's not grammatically correct).

[Katie ATX]

I recently started Rabbit Redux by John Updike. I'm also currently working my way through Anna Karenina.

[Kristi]

Just picked up The Midwich Cuckoos. A little late, I know, but I think I will fly through this one. I need a quick read!

[M]

I started just yesterday The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood and Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings by Jorge Luis Borges.

I have a great feeling about these two.

[Josefine]

Life of Pi.

[Edward]

I just started on Lolita

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I am about 400 pages into the Penguin Unabridged edition of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and am really loving it. What a great story.

[Anna]

Oko Jelenia: Droga Do Nidaros by Andrzej Pilipiuk

[Judith]

The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon

[Charity]

Sons and Lovers - D.H. Lawrence

[Lianne]

I'm currently reading Louis de Bernieres's Captain Corelli's Mandolin and am absolutely loving it. It's a lot funnier/more thoughtful/more multi-faceted than I thought it would be.

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

great comment, Li. I have been wanting to read that one.

Judith - Did you like it? I have that book, and keep putting it on my monthly to read list, but other things keep coming up.

[Lauli]

Got started on Melville's Moby-Dick. Loving it so far. I'm finding it much easier to read than some of his shorter fiction, such as Billy Budd.

[Cynthia]

Judith, I hope you enjoy "The Shadow of the Wind." It's one of my favorites.

[Stacie]

I just started Tess of the D'Urbervilles after taking a little break from reading off the list.

[Lianne]

I hope you get around to reading it sometime, it was absolutely fantastic! =D

[Jay]

About a quarter of the way through D H Lawrence's 'The Rainbow' and also kist started Elizabeth Gaskell's 'Cranford', which I'm loving (and the miniseries on TV was fantastic too).

[Anna]

My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk

[Erik]

The Shining by Stephen King.

Holy God it's scary. For the first time in my life
I understand why people hide under the covers when they are afraid.

[Deanne]

Roxana by Defoe, enjoying it so far and she seems more likeable than Moll Flanders.

[Jennifer W]

I'm just getting started on The Once and Future King. I also am reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog, which I was halfway through when the new list came out with it on it.

[Caroline]

Just started Empire of the Sun. I'm almost positive that I'm going to really love it.

[Yrinsyde]

I've just started reading Never Let Me Go and I'm finding it incredibly creepy. I wonder if me having had a kidney transplant is making this book creepier than it would be for others without transplants?

[Tanya (aka ListObsessedReader)]

I have finally gotten around to starting The Midwich Cuckoos for the group read. Loving it so far!

[Judith]
