[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just started Anglo-Saxon Attitudes. I think it's going to take a long time to get through. At the beginning is a cast list of characters which has about 50 names on it, which is dispiriting.

[Louise]

Finished Bear Down, Bear North: Alaska Stories - great writing, and some great stories - but makes Alaska sounds a little bleak...

[Dorothy]

Just finished The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry
Next read is The Light Between Oceans
Also picking my way through an excellent anthology of love stories in honor of Valentines,My Mistress's Sparrow is Dead: Great Love Stories from Chekhov to Munro

[Fiona (Titch)]

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just started Inheriting the Revolution: The First Generation of Americans.

[evie]

From the library yesterday, Horns and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter.

I started reading 'Horns' yesterday.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Has finished Hearts and Arrows - David G. Pearce. Now I am going back to Witchy, Witchy - Penelope King.

[Aliyah]

Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief
by Lawrence Wright. I am about 2/3 thru and it is fascinating if you like this kind of thing.

I read the New Yorker article on this - it was either an excerpt from the book, or a summary of sorts. Quite interesting. I don't know that it made me want to read the whole book. But he is a very good writer and investigative journalist. I recommend him to people who haven't read him.

Has finished Witchy, Witchy - Penelope King. Now I think I will read Name and Number - John Hoskison.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Finished Anglo-Saxon Attitudes. Picked up a short book of Browning poems. Started Netherland for my fiction read and Rights for my nonfiction read.

[[deleted user]]

I'm In a total reading funk...

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Finished Netherland, which made me think of janine because the narrator is Dutch and grew up in the Hague and ice skated on the canals, as did his mother.

[Susan]

Good grief! Have you surpassed 100 already for this year? You are flying through some books!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh no, I'm up to 20.

[Susan]

It seemed like it was more!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It will be more. But not yet.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The King's General.

[Riona]

I started Infinite Jest yesterday. Ack!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

That's one I won't read. File under: David Foster Wallace: Life is Too Short.

[Cynthia]

I hear "Candide" and I think of Dick Cavett.

[Martini]

I can't decide between Revenge and How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe.

[Riona]

I loved How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe if that helps.

[Martini]

Why did you like it that much? Maybe this will help me to decide.

Nice review. Sounds good, I think I'll read Charles Yu then. Thanks, Riona!

[Don]

Finally!!! I've finished: The Passage
!!! 11 parts and 75? chapters, getting through this has been... a passage!

I nearly put this down at the beginning, as I am not overly fond of vampire stuff, but it is written well and narrated well. Also, it is not your typical vampire like novel. Glad to be done with it though.

Next up: Trapped

Amsterdam.

[Henri]

I'm currently reading Robin Cook's Contagion which is my 56th book of the year... after this will probably read Bernard Knight's Grounds For Appeal as I read the two prior books in the Richard Pryor series and enjoyed them both.

If anyone likes talking books/exchanging reviews/comments feel free to add me :)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

A New Life.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just starting Everything for Sale: The Virtues and Limits of Markets as my nonfiction read.

[Phil]

I started another Elizabeth George novel today, A Suitable Vengeance. Sixty pages in and I think I'm reading a Harlequin romance. When does the mystery kick in?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

That's the prequel, though it's #4 in the series. It's not her best, not her worst.

[Phil]

I had my Nook with me & was looking for a Karin Slaughter book, but started this one instead. I think the Slaughter has yet to be transferred from the computer.

[Susan]

Phil wrote: " When does the mystery kick in?"

When it is suitable.

Duh.

[Susan]

I second that.

[Don]

Finished: Trapped

Next: A Memory of Light

Your review Tohoootally makes me want to read that novel."

Awww, you guys! I love it when that happens.

Just finished reading angelology. Rather dense content, not expected. Enjoyed but was super disappointed to get to end and find it's not THE END. Second book due out, I think, June.

[Ben]

Hi I'm Ben and I'm a newbie. I tend to start with a few books at the same time and then run with the one that interests me the most. Usually I'll keep something light around also like poetry or a joke book. This method leaves me with a stack of half read books to choose from at all times, but will all ways read what someone gives or lends me almost immediately. As to whats next, I am hoping to get some ideas from reviews, comments and suggestions here.

[Cynthia]

Hello to Ben!

Ugh! Was it a cliffhanger? I hate that.

[Susan]

Hey Ben!

[Henri]

Just finished reading my 62nd book of 2013; Max Hastings Das Reich: The March Of The 2nd SS Panzer Division Through France, June 1944 and am going to start on Stella Rimington's Dead Line now - looks interesting a bit of counter terrorist spy action.
