DJ....I really liked The Bronze Horseman!"

Hi Shelli,


Thanks!
People usually think me weird when I do stuff like this
I am really loo..."

[Gitte]

I'm about half-way through An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser.

[Brandi]

The Virgin Suicides by Eugenides
Saturday by McEwan

I read The Virgin Suicides..I liked it but not nearly as much as Middlesex by the same author.

[Gitte]

I didn't really like virgin suicides. It was one of those rare things where I actually preferred the movie. I loved Middlesex, though! One of my favorite books ever!

[Maggie]

I enjoyed The Virgin Suicides, both book and movie. Also loved Middlesex.

I'm reading The Electric Michelangelo by Sarah Hall - its so hard going, lots and lots of desscriptive prose but not too much plot so far - and I'm over half way through. Can't wait to finish it!

[Brandi]

I really enjoyed the movie so I figured I would enjoy the book as well (I do!) I also love that the author is from Michigan and the setting is in Michigan as well. I can't wait to read Middlesex either, but I figured I'd read the smaller of the two books first haha.

I'm from MI so that was interesting for me too. I think you will really like Middlesex...it's such a different story and Cal is a very memorable character.

I got this one! Let me know your thoughts. I have yet to read it."

Donna - I am halfway through The Falls: A Novel and I love it. If it keeps up, I will give it 4 or 5 stars. If you are a fan of Joyce Carol Oates, I think you will like it as well.

[Alese]

I am reading "carolina crow girl"

[Maggie]

Think I'm going to start Dracula

[Yassemin]

Perfume; story of a murderer. Been wanting to read this for ages!

[Alese]

"Just Listen" by Sarah Dessen :) been wanting to read this book forever!!

[Stuart]

I am reading Storm Front by Jim Butcher

[Jim]

I'm reading A Land Remembered. It's really good.

[DJ]

Walden and Symposium.

[Maggie]

Well I just finished Dracula - which was fantastic - so I thought I'd read something completely different so chose Farm Fatale by Wendy Holden - bit of escapism!

[Diane]

I just finished -- 4 stars, really liked it.

I enjoyed this Stuart.

[Shelli]

I just finished The Witching Hour..I would give it 3.5 stars if I could...the parts that were good..were really good, but it was way too long!

[Shane]

6 chapters into Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. Much, much better than I had expected! A real page turner!

[Shane]

Well woth reading. I always thought Hitchcock's adaptation of it was superb. But it's clear that the book is going to much better!

[Shelli]

Good to hear...this is on my books I own challenge for next year.

[Diane]

I think anyone who reads Rebecca will enjoy it.

[Leslie]

I just finished Lisa Moore's February and absolutely loved the novel's languid pace. It's a beautiful meditation on a young mother's grieving in the face of disaster.... My full review can be read at: www.the-reading-list.com

Reigning Cats and Dogs by Tanith Lee

[Yassemin]

3; World Without End, Excavation and The Gargoyle

[Diane]

Yas, you're doing some great reading!
Jo, I'll be reading The Gargoyle in December so I'll join up with the thread then.

[Yassemin]

:) I will join in for sure!

[Sarah]

I'm reading and

[Shelli]

Sarah....looking forward to your thoughts on Fingersmith!

[Shelli]

I'm reading In the Woods,The Physick Book of Deliverance Daneand Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods.

[Shelli]

Just ok for me so far....not holding my attention like In the Woods....Sarah?

[DJ]

Fingersmith was great....if you like it you would be well suited to enjoy Willie Collins THE WOMAN IN WHITE......
Just a suggestion.....It is one of my favorites I have to confess! LOL!

[Shelli]

I've read and enjoyed both DJ!

[DJ]

Good to know Shelli...Its always good when someone else likes something too...

I'm reading Sybille Bedfords A LEGACY and really enjoying it,definately my kind of book!

[Karla]

Been a while since I've visited my other groups sorry. I'll try to pop in more. I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire and it's gripping loving it!

[DJ]

The film wad excellent..I will need to try and rest it before the final one is released in a few weeks....

[Karla]

I know I will be reading book three in this series straight away. I still have a ways to go to complete this but it's been a while since I read Dragon Tattoo and I'm finding I have to wipe the cobwebs out of my brain to keep all the characters straight. I should have read this a long time ago!

[Shelli]

I had to read them immediately...I flew thru the 3rd one.

[Karla]

That would be a brilliant plan Jo, if your not to bogged down with reads. I'm thinking I should just give up on the idea of sleep till I finish this series. I find Lisbeth Slander one of the most troubled, startling, tiny but packed full of dynamite heroines in crime fiction. Very kewl as a cucumber kick ass chick. Can't wait to see the movies.

[Diane]

Shelli, Karla, Jo, I loved the entire series as well. Lisbeth is my favorite heroine. I also had trouble keeping everyone straight and remembering details and for that reason I am waiting awhile to read Fall of Giants since the second installment isn't coming out for 2 years.

[Diane]

I don't know, Jo. I have not read World Without End yet, the sequel to The Pillars of the Earth, and I'm hoping I don't need to remember anything at all from Pillars when I do!

[DJ]

LOL I'm about to read Pillars maybe I should wait to January so that I can read it and World without end back to back?
Any Opinions?

[Diane]

DJ, you could remember enough about Pillars by January if you read it now I'll bet. I read it like 15 years ago so I have no memory of it!

[Karla]

I'm in the same boat with you Diane! I haven't read the sequel World without end either and read Pillars probably in 09 I'm guessing.

[Diane]

Karla, it would truly be like a "stand alone" book for me at this point -- LOL.
