That is interesting...I read this for a report in 5th grade and have often thought about going back to read it.

[Flora]

I think I shall start The Woman in White next

I'm actually in the process of wrapping this one up. I really enjoyed it. How are you liking it so far?

Jessica wrote: "I just started Catch 22 in celebration of banned books week."

When and who banned this book?

[El]

Stuart, I see Catch-22 listed here, though it doesn't state why:

Catch 22
by Joseph Heller
This book was banned and/or challenged more than once. It was banned in Srongsville, Ohio in 1972 and that decision was overturned in 1976. It was also challenged in Dallas, Texas (1974) and again in Snoqualmie, Washington (1979).

Just started Tom Jones and Roxana. Fielding is becoming one of my favorite authors.

Thank you for the info.

On finishing Little Women (which I have not read - saw the film) you must read March by Geraldine Brooks. It picks up the March family and continue the story. A great read (think it won the Pulitzer)

I agree with your recommendation. I thoroughly enjoyed March (and have yet to get through Little Women, in spite of numerous attempts to read it.)

The Plague by Camus audio

[Raleigh]

I'm reading The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and Invisible Man (by Ellison) right now, neither of which I knew were 1001 books when I picked them up.

Both are good so far, but I'd say TWUBC is much more engaging for me than IM.

[Sissy]

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Not sure why I never picked this up before.

[Judith]

Ficciones - Jorge Luis Borges

Mind bending, and I'mzz
so glad I finally delved into this author's amazing work!

Opps! Kitty on the keyboard!

[Charity]

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

[Kristi]

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[El]

The Lover, Marguerite Duras.

Not sure why I haven't read this sooner. Started it last night before bed and now can't wait until my lunch break to read more.

[VeganMedusa]

Ragtime by EL Doctorow. I'm finding it a fascinating look at the period.

[Judith]

I loved this book! And the movie version is very good also!

Have to re-start Marquist de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom but will also start Richard Brautigan's In Watermelon Sugar if I get bored or disgusted again reading De Sade.

[El]

Started Call It Sleep by Henry Roth last night. The Introduction and Prologue were interesting - just about to start the meat of the story now and looking forward to it (despite the comparisons to James Joyce in the Intro).

[Asa]

I have started Orhan Pamuk's Snow, Since I though I should try to read som Nobel Prize winners and this one was available. So far an interesting set-up.

[Charity]

Just started A Woman's Life by Guy de Maupassant.

[Drew]

I just started The White Tiger. I am also rereading The Shining to get in the Halloween spirit. I last read that 25years ago when I was 12, and I think I am getting a little more from it this time ;-)

[Becky]

Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid - I needed something quick to boost my numbers!

[Amy]

I know I have a copy of Veronika Decides to Die around here somewhere and its driving me crazy that I can't find it, grrr!

I wanted to start it, haven't read from this list in months!

[Carys]

Started What a Carve Up!

[Sissy]

Glad to hear Ragtime is good - its sitting on my shelf waiting for me to read. May get to it a lot faster now. =)

Just started Enduring Love. I have a feeling that I may not enjoy any of McEwan's novels, aside from Atonement. This is my third and I feel like its going to be a lot like Amsterdam was for me.

[[deleted user]]

I will start A Woman's Life tonight.

[Charity]

Starting Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.

[Deanne]

Starting The Human Stain by Roth.

[Christina Stind]

Re-reading A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Read it years ago and loved it and so far enjoying the re-read.

[Charity]

Starting The Thin Man by Dashiell Hammett.

[Karina]

Just started Veronika Decides to Diea couple of days ago. Half done and I am really enjoying the book so far. Food for thought this book is.

[Charity]

Started The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett.

[Jennifer W]

Last night I started The Name of the Rose: Including Postscript, but I was tired so I didn't get very far.

[Cindy]

I'm starting The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

[Charity]

Starting Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett.

[VeganMedusa]

I started Lucky Jim by Kingsley Amis. About 40 pages in I'm completely bored, not helped by the blurb on the back saying the book is "preposterously funny" etc.

[Deanne]

Reading Amelia by Fielding, easy to read book and I'm half way through already.

[Cindy]

Just started The Island of Dr. Moreau.

[Charity]

Age of Innocence - Wharton.

Yes! Great minds think alike...

Thanks El......

Started Evelina by Burney, in the 14th letter Justice Fielding is mentioned. I've just read Amelia by Henry Fielding, small world as Justice Fielding was Henry Fielding who was chief magistrate for Westminster. Henry with his blind younger half brother John set up the Bow street runners, London's first police force. Love history and I've read a few books where Sir John crops up as a character, someone in history I would love to talk to.
