Five book, six book, seven book, more.

i have been enslaved by group reads for months now. although each one has been a great experience, it means that i'm constantly feeling behind. i still need to read The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Frankenstein, Dawn, The Boats of the 'Glen Carrig', The Lions of Al-Rassan. argh, so behind!

i think next month i will take a break from group reads and finally get around to reading some sequels to a bunch of excellent books i read last year. i think i will start with In the Cities of Coin and Spice and The Dark Volume.

Mr G convinced me I should read Ulysses with him. I am 4% in and am wondering how I can get out of this gracefully.

[Sarah]

Just watch out where you are in the book before saying "I'll read one more sentence then I'm out." Them's some long sentences.

The Twisted Muse: Musicians and Their Music in the Third Reich.

Good idea Jammies. Have you got any good tips on how to fake a heart attack? I will need to be convincing.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read a book my dad's friend wrote called Candidates' Party - William Mwendwa and now reading

[Youndyc]

Currently reading The Night Circus. It's truly lovely, I'm about 40% through, and I recommend it.

[Janice]

I'm about to start reading The Sandalwood Tree for my book club the beginning of May. I'm almost finished The Stonor Eagles and the audiobook Solaris.

[janine]

Bittere bloemen. Well written, that's for sure, but I'm always creeped out by the older (elderly in this case) guy/young girl thing. There's way too much focus on the girl's thong.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Virtuosi: A Defense and a (Sometimes Erotic) Celebration of Great Pianists.

[Courtney]

A Wrinkle in Time This was the book club's selection for May.

Reading C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy

[Karmen]

Reading "Half the Sky" by NYT blogger Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wudunn. Half way through. Makes me ever more glad to be a women in the G8 sector even with Republicans.

[Cheri]

I'm really liking The Art of Fielding

[~Geektastic~]

I have a couple of different things going right now, but I'm not really immersed in any of them. I need to find something to read straight through. Maybe I'll finally start The Hunger Games, I haven't decided yet.

I just finished The Hunger Games. I couldn't put it down once I started it.

[Alias Reader]

I just started to read In This House of Brede~~Rumer Godden

[Mejix]

Listening to the audiobook version of Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux. Also halfway through Heartbreak Soup by Gilbert Hernandez.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Tent Life in Siberia: An Incredible Account of Siberian Adventure, Travel, and Survival

Music at the Limits

[aPriL does feral sometimes]

Starting No Human Involved

Munch reminds me of Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo a little bit, but Seranella's book isn't wound up so high pitched.

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished Parched - Z.L. Arkadie. I am going to carry on reading The Man From U.N.D.E.A.D. - The Curious Case Of The Kidnapped Chemist - Darren Humphries.

[Janice]

Finished The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break and started A Cold Day for Murder.

Now reading The Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack

[mark]

i am wondering what you think of that one, April. i did not care for it, although i liked the novella-length story of Spring Heeled Jack himself.

[Phil]

I finished Redbreast and have begun A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

It feels like a madcap movie, such as the 1967 David Niven's Casino Royale. It's entertaining and interesting and different, but...too self-conscious. I like it, it has the appeal of a summer read with more substance. I googled the mechanical devices and they really existed and were in use. Now, Reading about those objects and studying the drawings of them WAS interesting.

[~Geektastic~]

Argh. I think I need to adjust my reading goal for this year. I haven't picked up a book in nearly two weeks. My job does give me lectures to watch, which is cool but not quite the same. Right now I'm reading the transcript for a lecture on the History of the English Language.

[Youndyc]

I read Every Last One over the weekend. Very much a tear-jerker. But it was, as with most of Ms. Quindlan's writing, well-written.

[Courtney]

Just starting Fifty Shades of Grey. We will see what all the hype is about.

[evie]

I have started The Historian

Those transcripts sound pretty cool!

I'm four books behind on my goal (100) now, but I'm not worried yet. If necessary I can always add some of the books I proofread or read some children's books.

They are pretty cool. And I may count them, as I think there are a bunch of our courses listed and reviewed on GR. The ISBN is attached to the DVDs/CDs, but the transcripts are printed, word for word, from the recorded material and I think have the same ISBN.

The Loser

[Riona]

I'm about 3/4 through The Bluest Eye:. Somehow I never read this one in school, though I know many people who did.

Thanks Charly, I 've added it to my list to read.
