I recently picked this one up myself. Let us know how it goes.

I'm reading which has been really fascinating. I see the chimp building every day, but hadn't gotten around to reading this book.

[Betsy]

I had to put aside because my library loan ended. While waiting for it to come back available I figured I'd pick up a long overdue new classic,

I started Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother on audio.

Yay!

[Betsy]

I started on audio today. I haven't decided yet whether its grabbing me.

[LynnB]

I'm still reading but can only get through about 10-25 pages each day before I need to read something else. It's interesting, but slow.

I've just started , and I'm going to start later today.

[Cathy]

I began on audio and I am enjoying it very much.

I'm reading Just My Type: A Book About Fonts which I find interesting so far.

I recently started We Need To Talk About Kevin http://d.gr-assets.com/books/13278650... (yes, I am probably one of the last people on the planet to read it. I knew what it was about but, wasn't aware it is told by the mother in the form of letters to her husband. Very powerful.

I read this one earlier this year and it was harrowing, but excellent. I hope that you enjoy it.

[LynnB]

I just started by Ivan Doig. I've enjoyed his other books, so I expect to like this one.

[Sera]

I started The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry on audio today. Jim Broadbent is the reader, and I have been told the does an excellent job.

No, that would be me. I haven't wanted to see the movie until I red the book. I have it but haven't started it.

[Sera]

I started Fire in the Ashes: Twenty-Five Years Among the Poorest Children in America on audio this morning. Very interesting, but also very sad, thus far.

[Laurie]

I've started reading The End of Your Life Book Club , and then I plan to read (confession: no, I've not ever read it).

I'm 2/3 through by Wallace Stegner and will be starting this afternoon.

I needed a break after the emotional intensity of Dog Stars ... so am starting A Life in Stitches by Rachael Herron as a relaxing read. Next up .. The End of Your Life Book Club!.

[Sera]

Linda and Cindy, I have The End of Your Life Book Club on my nightstand, ready to kick off the new year.

These all look excellent, Lynn!

I started reading Bring Up the Bodies yesterday. It's very enjoyable thus far.

I have the Gertrude Bell book as well. I started it last year but ending up putting it down for reasons I don't remember. What motivated me to read it was a trip to the Maparium in Boston. The Maparium is part of the Christian Science Complex and is a giant globe of the world in 1935 that you actually walk through. One of the things I noticed was that the middle east was so very different than it is now, fewer countries. It really piqued my interest. I'll have to get that book out and put it on my 2013 reading pile. If you ever get a chance the Maparium is a really neat stop and the tour is only about 15 min. The center has all these really neat quotes from Mary Baker Eddy displayed in different ways.

It may be because it's a fascinating story ... then gets bogged in details ... then it's fascinating ... then it's bogged down ... then it's fascinating ... then it's bogged down....

Karen, be sure to have a pen and paper handy to write down the numerous books that are mentioned.

The list is in an index in the back of the book - you could just copy it.

It is excellent so far, Becky. Also a nice follow-up to the book that I just finished entitled Fire in the Ashes: Twenty-Five Years Among the Poorest Children in America.

An interesting trio for sure :)

I just started Les Misérables. Looks like another year of big books for me.

In order to read more than one at a time (which I'm always doing), I have to be sure the stories are very different from each other. I'm a mood reader, so sometimes there are up to 5 in process, sometimes just one.

I always listen to one book on audio for my commute and have one going on my kindle. I have to make sure the stories are very different as occasionally, especially when tired, I have confused the story lines in my mind!
