Finished Ye Heart of a Man.

[Alias Reader]

I'm reading
The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I have that book too.

[Charlotte]

Just finished We Need to Talk About Kevin Trying to decide whether to read Room orSuper Sad True Love Story next and also considering getting How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity, and the Hidden Power of Characterfrom audible.com, but I have always thought that audio books are cheating somehow.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Secret Agent.

[Phil]

Finished Anansi Boys (enjoyed it very much) and moving on to The Princess of Burundi.

[Amy]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, also. I really like Gaiman's work.

[Susan]

I think I might be moving Anansi Boys up my to read list.

[Susan]

Philbert makes me think of Corylus Maxima.

[Karmen]

Just starting 4th and final installment of German Turkish PI Kamal Kayankaya. Book is titled "Kismet". Of the series, I found the 2nd best (shortest too) the best translated and paced.

Hopes for this one.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Experiences by Arnold Joseph Toynbee.

Disappointed. Moving on to Furies of Calderon.

[Aliyah]

Just started on The Nocturnes by Kuzao Ishiguro. My first book that I'm reading that features classical music. Seems good so far

[Cynthia]

Charly, I think you'll enjoy The Art of Fielding.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I finished The Secret Agent (good, I recommend it) and just started The Stranger's Child which so far is AWESOME. AWESOME.

[Phil]

Furies of Calderon done. The advantage of having a cold is having more time to read.

Moving on to Academ's Fury.

I liked the first half of The Stranger's Child and then it kind of fizzled out. I enjoyed The Line of Beauty though, have you read it?

[Bibliophile]

I'm having a hard time finding books to read right now. None of the ones I have available appeal to me at the moment. They're either too heavy or too light, too demanding or not demanding enough. Damn, I'm hard to please. Any random suggestions?

List a few that you have really enjoyed and we might be able to help. I just finished

Tell the Wolves I'm Home

and that was very good. I'm also reading some John Green right now that's pretty good:

Looking for Alaska

[Bibliophile]

Thanks Amy. I have "Tell the Wolves..." on hold, and liked "Looking for Alaska" (but John Green is a hit-and-miss for me). The most recent books I've enjoyed are Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter , Eutopia: A Novel of Terrible Optimism and The Locusts Have No King, but I'm not in the mood for anything similar. I'm looking for something unexpected that I wouldn't necessarily have picked myself.

[Susan]

I just started Wool.

I've recently started reading works by Murakami - if you like literary fiction he's excellent.

Oh dear. I've enjoyed several of his novels and short stories, but recently finished "1Q84" and absolutely hated it, so I'm afraid my Murakami days are over. Which ones are you reading?

[Amy]

I just got Norwegian Wood and Kafka on the Shore. In the middle of Infinite Jest right now, so it will be a few weeks before I get to the Murakami.

[Riona]

Finished The New York Trilogy. I don't know what's up next.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Bibliophile wrote: "I enjoyed The Line of Beauty though, have you read it? "

Yes, I thought it was excellent.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Thankfully I have finally finished A Cold Day For Murder - Dana Stabenow. Now listening to Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen.

[Aliyah]

Finishing off Nocturnes by Kuzao Ishiguro and gonna start on Wuthering Heights

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished listening to Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen which too bad. Now I am reading All Fall Down - Erica Spindler.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

State of Fear.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Couldn't get into All Fall Down - Erica Spindler, so now decided to read Priced to Move - Ginny Aiken.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The Return by Joseph Conrad.

[Aliyah]

Wuthering Heightsis so dreary, and still at page 50, gonna postpone it and read Pride and Prejudice, but WH is good so far (just don't like Catherine and Heathcliff). Reading P&P to see what the hype is all about...

[Phil]

Turned the last page on Academ's Fury. Turning the first on Cursor's Fury.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Boomerang: Health Care Reform and the Turn against Government.

[Amy]

Just started Dave Barry's new book Insane City.

[Susan]

I have to finish Elephant Girl: A Human Story before I can start Storm Front.

[Paula]

I had two friends come out with books this month so am reading them... Linda Stasi - her book The Sixth Station as well as Rebecca Dana's new book- Jujitsu Rabbi and the Godless Blonde: A True Story... and if that isnt enough, Im still trying to slog through The Last Lion 3: Winston Spencer Churchill: Defender of the Realm, 1940-65... so am doing some lighter reading in between, like a little Julie Klam Friendkeeping: A Field Guide to the People You Love, Hate, and Can't Live Without and The Blogess Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir

If something is recommended, or if it gets great reviews from a place I trust (NYT or NPR). Although neither of those places have ever reviewed my books, so maybe they're missing a few. Heh. But I do find that overhyped books (Chelsea Hander, anyone), usually put me off. Like overhyped films.

[Jammies]

Just finished Dr. Zhivago.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just finished Boomerang, starting The House in Paris.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The House in Paris was really good. Highly recommended.

[Phil]

Finished the fourth Codex Alera book from Jim Butcher. Numbers five and six should arrive to my house this week. Until then I'll probably read one of Chelsea Handler's books.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Has finished Priced to Move - Ginny Aiken. Now I think I am going to read Destined to Feel - Indigo Bloome.
