---------------
I read Ethan Frome for the first time as an adult and I really enjoyed it. It's a quiet read but the writing and mood pulled me in. Enjoy !

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I love Ethan Frome. I read it in 9th grade and then again about a year ago. So very New Englandy and compared to most of her other work, shockingly different.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm about to start The Good Husband.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Has finished Yellow Crocus - Laila Ibrahim Which I found to be like Roots: The Saga of an American Family - Alex Haley which I've only seen the film, but can picture it in my head. Now I've picked up In Stitches - Nick Edwards For a challenge I am doing at the moment,

[Hayley]

Just started Case Histories: and have the next one lined up for when I've finished. I will confess I saw this on TV before I realised it was a book adaptation (in my defense... Jason Isaacs appeared in the advert for it, I couldn't resist). I'm liking it so far :)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I quite enjoyed the TV version of Case Histories but loathed the book.

[Alias Reader]

Starting,
Abigail and John: Portrait of a Marriage~~Edith B. Gelles

[Jennifer]

I've been meaning to read it, but was put off by some negative reviews. I like gothic Oates, and now I'm tempted to give it a go.

[Bibliophile]

I'm on a classic crime fiction spree. Just started on Some Must Watch and will continue with Through a Glass, Darkly. Helen McCloy. In the latter, the heroine Gisela von Hohenems (!) takes a teaching position at a girls' school and befriends Faustina Coyle. Yes, Faustina. Strangeness ensues, and Gisela turns to her fiance, detective-psychologist Dr Basil Willing for help.

Ah, books like these just aren't written anymore.

Aww, sorry to hear that, but at least you enjoyed the show :) I'm quite liking the book at the mo', but did enjoy seeing Jason Isaacs running around on my TV (now I'm just imagining it ;P).

Just re-read Rebecca. What a fantastic book!

[Denise]

I have 18 books on here as "to read" but the truth is, I'll go into my spare bedroom & pick something from those. Some of which I've already read & some of which were picked up at yard sales, or obtained from book club laziness. It's sometimes a pleasant surprise.

[Fiona (Titch)]

[Karmen]

Reading Nefertiti ... perfect timing as just finished Nick Drake's trilogy starting with Neferto to Tut to Tut's wife as seen from a policeman's viewpoint.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I finished The Good Soldier (it took a long time because I was reading the Norton Critical Edition with all the extra essays) and re-read The Legal System: A Social Science Perspective which was more boring than I remembered.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just finished Loneliness as a Way of Life. Eh.

[[deleted user]]

I finished Little House In The Big Woods, but couldn't muster the energy to start Farmer Boy. Then I tried to start The Golden Compass for the fifth time...meh.

Hopefully something fun @ B&N will inspire me.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I'm doing a reread of End Zone. I tried to read it many years ago and couldn't really get into it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I just started The Strange Career of Jim Crow.

[Kevin]

Yes, I do love them. I have it in a one volume collection thingy, it's a bit huge and inconvenient unless you're at home. I took it to hospital with me, but I just felt to crap to bother.

Moving on to book two in The Uglies series today. It's really not that great. Not horrible, if you like the genre, but not that great.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Sketches from a Hunter's Album.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just started Costume and Fashion: A Concise History.

[[deleted user]]

Finished Uglies then Pretties; now I'm on to Specials. It's growing on me. Hunger games was better. Though this one has some better messages for teens if they can see them past the complete segregation of the pre and post op people.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I've finished The Morganville Vampires Book Nine: Ghost Town - Rachel Caine. Now I am going to read The Morganville Vampires Book Ten: Bite Club - Rachel Caine.

[Michael]

Just finished 2001: A Space Odyssey. I'd seen the movie many times and thought I'd finally read the book. Now I know what the monoliths were, but I still don't quite get what happened at the end.

Michael E. Henderson

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Halfway through The Troubled Man.

[Alias Reader]

I just finished Abigail and John: Portrait of a Marriage~Edith B. Gelles
I enjoyed it and thought the book helped to bring the characters to life. The book came to my attention because of the excellent C-SPAN series on the First Ladies. It airs on Monday evenings.

My next read will be Along Came a Spider~James Patterson
I've never read a Patterson book and this is not my usual genre, however, I wanted to give it a shot to see why his books are so popular.

[[deleted user]]

Finished The Uglies series. It was okay. The last one was a bit...meh. If he hadn't killed off you know who and stopped at the original three books I would have liked it better.

Started the Mercy Falls trilogy yesterday. So far a new take on the wolf thing.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Just finished The Feast of July. Hated it.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

In the week ahead I'll be rereading A Passage to India and reading The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism.

[[deleted user]]

I try, but the mister seems to think I should talk to and pay attention to him sometimes...completely unreasonable.

[Karmen]

Just begun "the Egyptologist" by Arthur Clark. A multi layered and multiple narrator novel.

[[deleted user]]

I'm double reading my silly YA werewolf series and Rilke's The Book of Hours. I'm not usually much on poetry, but its fantastic! Well, most of it. There are a few that don't do anything for me.
