What book did you just start?

I have also been listening to Those Who Wish Me Dead on audio.
I continue to trek through War and Peace. I have about 400 pages to go.



Looks good. I read his An Open Book: Coming of Age in the Heartland which I really enjoyed.

Thanks for the recommendation, Betsy.

I've got it on my bookshelf too, but haven't gotten around to reading it. Everyone I know who has read it has loved it.

It was my book discussion's book for tonight. We all really liked it. I'd never heard of it until it was chosen for our read.


I couldn't get into Buried Giant on audio. As with many books, I think it may be a timing thing, so I'll likely try again at some point. Looking forward to hearing what you think. I LOVE Crossing to Safety.

The Buried Giant is challenging on audio. I started the last disc this morning. The subject matter is atypical because it is as if Ishiguro tried to write a fantasy book for adults. I am not sure that he fully succeeded. Depending on the ending, right now, it looks like a 3 star read for me.

Also started The Stranger for my November book group. We're supposed to also be reading The Meursault Investigation but my library doesn't have it and I think because it is new, I can't request an interlibrary loan. I'm not that excited about the book to actually buy this one, so I may just stick with the Stranger and not do the companion piece.


I'm trying to finish things that I've been in the middle of for far too long.


Also started Hostage Taker in hardcover. I won this in a giveaway. Good so far.

Let me know how you like this one, Betsy. I couldn't get into it and brought it back to the library.
