The Picture of Dorian Grey, By Oscar Wilde. What a masterpiece.

[Lexi]

I just finished "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett and just started "The Anglo Files" by Sarah Lyall

[Suzi]

I got a Nook for Valentine's Day last month so I'm indulging in my "reading lots of books at once" habit :) Right now I'm re-reading "Pride and Prejudice" and starting "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larsson. And possibly "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.

I should actually be done with this book already, but the days have been getting nicer and the time for playing outside is more fun!

[Rosie]

I am reading "The South Beach Diet" and "Mysteries of Pittsburgh."

I'm reading "The curious incident of the dog in the Nighttime" by Mark Haddon. It's a heartbreaking and tough book, but it's quirky, very funny sometimes, and insightful

[Snazzy]

World without end

That was a great book! I really enjoyed it.

[Sarah]

I am reading "Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets"

[Stacey]

"Freaks, Geeks, and Asperger Syndrome" by Luke Jackson.

This is an amazing book written by a thirteen (at the time) year-old boy living with Asperger Syndrome. It's such a fantastic and empowering read as so often students living with disabilities are spoken for by others. It's very moving to see a student not only take ownership and control of their voice, but to do so as a means of advocating not only for himself but others.

Best Opening Line Ever!

"To those of you don't feel you belong: Always remember that different is cool!"

[Cy]

A fashionable female-authored read of mine = Seductress: Women Who Ravished the World and Their Lost Art of Love by Elizabeth Prioleau.

[Hannah]

I've read this month The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. It is a really great book.

[Jacky]

Kill Your Friends by John Niven. Its a fictional novel, rather sadistic about the music industry in London at the now defunct London Records. John Niven spent 10 years working in the industry, and as an intern for 5 years, I've found a lot of the depictions to be quite accurate, aside from certain parts I won't mention as to not be a spoiler :)

[Jaleesa Renee]

Freakonomics: a rogue economist explores the hidden side of everything By Steven D. Levitt, Stephen J. Dubner

...yep. I'm geeky.

I am reading Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult

[Amy]

I'm re-reading all the Harry Potter books!
Doesn't get any better than that :)

[Jules]

I am an Emotional Creature by Eve Ensler.

[Ms. R]

As a teacher, I am currently reading the next book my students will be studying "Of Love and Other Demons" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. After reading a number of short stories by Marquez, I found myself fascinated with his style and thematic choices. As I journey through the text, I am not disappointed. I do, however, find myself bogged down in translation. At some points, I get lost in unknown allusions and concepts that do not translate into my monolingual, American knowledge.

All in all though, an interesting read. How can you not be drawn to a novel focusing on a priest falling in love with a young girl who is believed to be possessed by the devil?

[Jolie]

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society for book club...I've heard it's awesome!

[[deleted user]]

Oh my gosh, "Lovely Bones" is amazing! You're going to love it. I read it last summer and could NOT put it down :)

[Renee]

Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving

[Brittany]

I'm reading "Welfare Brat" by Mary Childers

[LeisureReader]

I'm currently reading "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. It's absolutely riveting, and I'm sure I'll finish it (too) soon!
I'll be needing to start my next-book-in-line search soon, and Malena Watrous' "If You Follow Me" looks great! -wink wink-

[Earlene]

I"m currently reading "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrnes and "The Complere Grimm's Fairy Tales" by the Grimm Brothers

[Christina]

I am reading The Lost City of Z by David Grann.

[Diana]

I'm reading Sapho by Alphonse Daudet. :)

[Amy]

'Eat Pray Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert. I know the story line is cliche: newly devorced middle aged woman goes on journey around world to "find herself"... but the author is very down to earth and it puts down in words what you need to be happy. It's very uplifting :)

[Katerina]

I finished Sanshiro: A Novel last weekend and I'm currently reading Kenzaburo Oe's Silent Cry. Sanshiro was delightful, the Silent Cry is a tough read.

[Mutz]

A Room of One's Own

and I've had trouble reading Virginia Wolf before because english is not my mother-tongue, but I'm certainly enjoying this one fully.

[Hanna]

I've just started I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe.
