And sometimes, on some little devices as telepohone, you can't see them at all

Mistletoe Twins by Lois Richer

[Leslie]

I am listening to the audiobook of The Wings of the Dove narrated by Juliet Stevenson. She is a great narrator but I still find Henry James' prose sends my mind to wandering...

In ebook form, I am rereading Graham Greene's thriller This Gun for Hire (aka A Gun for Sale). Such a great book!

[Christine]

I finished my 2nd book

[Gavin]

I'm reading Hopscotch

I have read some of Cortazar's short stories but that book's reputation for being a difficult read has made me put it off. I look forward to hearing what you think of it.

He is someone I know I should love, but in the end he always mkes me mad!!!! The Wings of the Dove I had to read in University; complicated

[Leslie]

That is how I feel too - that I should love his books but I don't. This one is certainly making me mad! That is, when I can concentrate enough on it to be able to follow what is happening *grin*

Tempt Me at Twilight by Lisa Kleypas

[Leslie]

I am reading Red Mars in audiobook form & just starting my self-challenge to tackle Balzac's The Human Comedy (a collection of over 90 books!) with At the Sign of the Cat and Racket on my Kindle.

[Joan]

Leslie, keep us posted on Red Mars - it tempts me.

Will do.

[Christine]

I finished my 3rd book

[Nichole]

I just placed The Whale: A Love Story in my dnf folder. I won't finish this one either.

[LauraT]

Reading The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness; a bit of a punch in your stomac, still I think these things HAVE to be read every now and then

[Joan]

Laura - thank you for bringing this one to my attention

[LauraT]

My pleasure! ;)

I am almost halfway done now - apparently the majority of the book is a flashback and I am finding that the presumably "current" events in the first part sharpen my interest in certain characters and events in that flashback.

As a science person, I find the details about setting up a permanent research station on Mars with a view to future colonization interesting. It may be a bit too detailed for those not interested in science but there is still plenty to interest those readers. The group of 100 people has its share of interpersonal problems as well as group dynamics! It is a large enough group that the author can show different points of view on several issues (such as whether humans from Earth have any right to terraform another planet or to what extent people planning on remaining on Mars for the rest of their lives should be ruled by governments on Earth or even something as simple as what style of architecture should be used).

92 Pacific Boulevard by Debbie Macomber

[Christine]

I finished my 4th book

[Christine]

Heather I’m a huge fan of Debbie Macomber

[Leslie]

I am reading Living by Henry Green. He has an unusual prose style; I guess that you could call it telegraphic. In fact, he writes in a manner similar to what I use online but he did it in 1929! He omits most articles and often the subject of the sentence as well, for example:

"Evening. Was spring. Heavy blue clouds stayed over above. In small back garden of villa small tree was with yellow buds."

[Nichole]

I have started Devonshire Scream: A Tea Shop Mystery by Laura Childs. Despite my love for sleuth Theodosia Browning, I did not keep up with the series. I am restarting it again. I hope I still love it.

[Christine]

I finished my 5th book
