I loved both Their Eyes were Watching God and Drop City. Gobbled them up.

Apparently a wildly popular adaptation of the book was filmed fairly recently in Russia. I should be getting it from Netflix (hopefully with English subtitles!) about the same time I finish the book. I'm a sucker for really well done 'movie versions' of books I enjoy, and the first book/part of The Idiot has been great so far.

Thanks! I'll check those out.

I agree...both were very captivating reads.
Just started Human Stain, I'm excited about this one

It IS very interesting. One of my favorite James novels.

What is the name of the film? Would love to see it if it has English subtitles. I read the novel so long ago....but really was impressed by it.

I just finished Kadare's "Spring Flowers, Spring Frost" and was not than enthralled. I would love to know what you think about this one. Can you compare it to others of his titles? Have you read Spring Flowers, for instance?

I loved this and gave it to my brother who isn't much of a reader and he loved it too. I have the gorgeous illustrated copy too - beautiful but big and awkward to read.


I loved Life of Pi! I hope you like it.




Not on the list. Sorry.


Finished it this morning and then donated it to my local library, what with budget cuts I thought it might be a good idea, not going to read it again.

In that case, I just began The Mysteries of Udolpho.
