Which LIST book did you just start? Showing 2,201-2,250 of 6,816

[Kristi]

I just started The Rainbow. I've been wanting to read this for awhile, hopefully we'll get a good discussion going!

[Katelyn]

I started "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf not too long ago. I like it so far, but I enjoyed "To The Lightouse" much more. Woolf knows my soul.

[Jen]

In Cold Blood. I just found out one of the killer's donated his eyes to the hospital I work at. Creepy!

[Riku]

Just started on The Namesake... had to hunt around a bit for the book but finally on it.. Pretty fast read, more than half done in a day

[Cathy]

Reading The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence.

Katrina, check back in and let us know what you think... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised, especially if you're expecting typical science fiction.

I just started La Promesse De Laube by Romain Gary--so far it's much more engaging than other French literature from the 60s. (I'm looking at you, Alain Robbe-Grillet!)

[Nicole]

I just started Cathedral by Raymond Carver. Read some of his stuff in college and thought I'd give him another try.

[Becky]

Vernon God Little by DBC Pierre

[Lauli]

The second part of Fortunata and Jacinta. Found the first part quite difficult to get through, but I never give up on a book before I finish, so on with it!

[Ashley]

I am working through the librivox recording of the 12 vols of Aesop's Fables. I'm almost done with The 39 Steps, and have started Les Miserables vol 1, the Three Musketeers, the Federalist, and Ben-hur.

I love books but this is the first time I am juggling so many at once.

[Anna]

Krawędź żelaza. Tom 2 / Koniasz #4 by Miroslav Žamboch and Koniec świata szwoleżerów. Czcigodni weterani by Marian Brandys

[Linda]

Recently started 1984; can't believe it's taken me this long to get around to it.

Whoa - Les Mis, Three Musketeers, and Ben Hur all at once? And is that The Federalist, as in John Jay and the Federalist Papers? You go, Girl!

[M]

Started The Rainbow by D. H. Lawrence. Published by MobileReference by D.H. Lawrence this evening. I'm always late to the discussion!

[Francisco]

I just started A Passage to India by Forster! So far it seems like a great novel!

[Tanya (aka ListObsessedReader)]

Just started Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell

[Carys]

Wow, I'm impressed by all the reading of substantial works too! I just started The Thirty-Nine Steps.

[Ginny]

Okay, I'm almost finished with A Passage to India, and have started The Rainbow and finished The Blind Assasin; is it just me(because I just found out that man I've been dating for 4 months has found someone new that is 14 yrs younger than him- Yikes! and OUCH!) or are most of the books on this list depressing?!? Can u tell me of one of the books that is cheerful and uplifiting? Thanks!

So sorry to hear that, Ginny! How about
Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis? Funny, wry British sense of humor.

[Katrina]

Starting Movern Caller by Alan Warner, sounds very different from The Hound of the Baskervilles which I just finished

[Becky]

Portnoy's Complaint by Phillip Roth

[Denise]

Curious what you think of this (Morven Caller). I think I voted for it for our club choice once, but it didn't win.

[Anna]

Noc by Elie Wiesel and Życie Przecięte. Opowieści Pokolenia Marca by Joanna Wiszniewicz

[Eva]

Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

I am finishing "The Golden Ass" and it's sorta funny. It is on the 2008 edition of the list.

A Suitable Boy by V. Seth

[Judith]

"A Passage to India" for the May group read!
Actually, I read this one years ago; but I'll re-read it for our discussion.

[cc]

The Woman In White by Wilkie Collins.

[Mike]

I just started The Great Gatsby.

[K.D.]

I'm halfway with Nadine Gordimer's July's People. Anti-apartheid in South Africa will never be a boring theme for me. It is just a very sad topic for me. Almost the same feeling I have with Holocaust. Senseless killings.

[Joselito Honestly]

Haven't read the book. But were the killings because of the anti-apartheid movement, or were they because of the apartheid policy?

[Tasha]

I am starting A Passage to India today. I am new to this group and this will be my first read with the group :)

Try "Mrs. Pettigrew Lives for a Day", "Confederacy of Dunces", "Vile Bodies" for a hoot and holler! "Scoop"is not depressing. Anything by Thurber or Christie should fit the bill. I liked "Flaubert's Parrot", which is kind of light. There are others, but I'll have to go back and look at the list to remind myself....Oh yes, Austin is never depressing either, is she?

[Judith]

I started "The Red Harvest" this morning. Reading it along with "A Passage to India".

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

Next on my list, I think, is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Welcome to the group, Tasha. I'm going to start that right after I finish my non-list book I'm reading,
The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters. See you at the discussion!

The majority blacks seized the government from minority whites in Johannesburg. So, the whites were persecuted and many were killed. I understand that this is fiction though.

[K.D.]

I am starting A. S. Byatt's The Children's Book. I read that A. S. Byatt and Margaret Drabble are siblings. I know that Paul Auster and Siri Hustvedt are a couple. In the course of my reading, I also earlier knew that Jean Rhys and Ford Maddox Ford used to be lovers. All of these people have books included in 1001. Would anyone has a ready list of all these? It is definitely interesting! Notice their influences to each other, what they wrote, etc.

[Katrina]

Started If on a Winter's Night a Traveler last night and fell in love with the opening couple of chapters!

[Genius]

[Karina]

Just started The Rainbow! I am new to the group as well. Bought my copy of A Passage to India so I can get started on that as soon as I am finished!

[Laura]

I recently started the Historian as well. So far I am loving it!

That IS interesting...no, I'm not aware of list

Franny & Zooey by J. D. Salinger

[Joselito Honestly]

Kingsley Amis was Martin Amis' father. Both 1001 authors too.
