Which LIST book did you just finish? Showing 6,101-6,150 of 7,922

[Deanne]

Read Silence by Shusaku Endo, loved it and found it difficult to put down.

[Katherine]

I finished The Portrait of a Lady earlier this week. It took awhile to gain steam for me, but I really ended up enjoying it and caring for the characters. I know there are a lot of Henry James entries on the list, and after tackling this one I feel ready for more.

[Rachel (Sfogs)]

I've just finished The Devil and Miss Prym.
This book was scary to me in the sense that very ordinary people, can be brought to do very evil things.

[Grada (BoekenTrol)]

Today I finished The Hours by Michael Cunningham and read Animal Farm by George Orwell.

I plan to start reading it as my next book.

I don't think that's a list book.

[~Calyre~]

Just finished The Midwich Cuckoos.

[Genia]

Finished The Leopard and really liked it. beautifully written, and on a subject that currently interests me.

[Ian]

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.

A remarkable piece of work.

Well, this group's bookshelves has all of the books. But there is a thread here about finding the list(s).

You can look in that group of threads, too. Lots of helpful info.

[Aileen]

I finished Callirhoe by Chariton from 2006 list, great book 5/5.

[Sandi]

Finished after the quake by Murakami today.

[Mina]

Finished In Cold Blood last night! I love Truman Capote, he's so ... well, Truman Capote. I found it slightly disturbing that I wasn't as disturbed by the killings as I -should- be. But then I looked up pictures of the family. Being the same age as Nancy when she was killed, with all my life's goals and dreams planned out, I just think about how she never got to complete hers... it's just awful. It is certainly a different book that was well written.
I am going to be watching the movie Capote and then possibly read the book once more...

Recently finished The Hobbit and How Late it was, How Late by James Kelman which I bloody loved but it has met with mixed response and even though it won the Man Booker in 1994 one lady off the judging panel said it was "utter crap"!

I liked this one. Diverting and unusual.

I've just finished it. And like it too. Unusual but possible.

[Bucket]

Finished Neuromancer by William Gibson. I didn't enjoy this book much, but I figure I wasn't meant to as I'm not a sci-fi reader. However, I was definitely disappointed as its presence on this list, long list of awards, and sheer volume of critically favorable attention made me expect this to be a genre-breaker like Ray Bradbury's works.

[Amanda]

Lolita. Beautifully written but I spaced out a number of times.

[Ananya]

Just finished The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara KIngsolver. Liked it.

[Alyson Of Bathe]

I just finished Mrs. Dalloway, a reread for me. Some thoughts here.

[Pinar]

Just finished The Swarm: A total diasappointment for me :(

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Père Goriot, which I liked, but not 5 stars worth. It's interesting that Balzac thought this was his finest work, when some of us seem to prefer his Eugénie Grandet. Anyway, my thoughts on Goriot here: my comments

[Dina]

Lombe wrote: "Tenant of Wildfell Hall"

It's one of my favorite.

[Sandi]

Finally finished Zorba the Greek.

[Erik]

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I'm not sure how I made it this far without reading it. It was horribly depressing in the best possible way.

Like!

I just 'finished' London Fields, although technically this is a lie because I skimmed the last 100 pages as it was going nowhere and I started to fall asleep after about 2 pages every time I picked it up. Captured on my blog. My husband said he's going to make me finish it on my deathbed as I have cheated. It'll just finish me off quicker, I think!

[Lisa]

I just finished This Side of Paradise, & just started Catcher in the Rye.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Ethan Frome, and I think Edith Wharton is my new favorite author.

my comments

[Dina]

No One Writes to the Colonel and Other Stories by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez

[Lisa]

Just finished Catcher in the Rye. Personally, I thought it sucked compared to others from Salinger. Absolutely DETESTED Holden...what a jerk.

[Lynecia]

Last book I read that was on the list was "Doctor Zhivago" it was a very slow start and took me a month to read but it ended up being a pleasant surprise.

[Mikela]

Just finished The Age of Innocence and absolutely loved it.

[Jennifer W]

I finished The Last Temptation of Christ. Not bad, not amazing.

[Corina]

I just finished The Virgin Suicides and I must say it instantly became one of my favourite books. I think it`s one of the most beautifully written novels I`ve ever read.

[Judith]

The Voyage Out - Virginia Woolf

Wonderfully executed!

[Mikela]

Just completed Wise Blood and although I found it interesting I would have appreciated it much more if I had more familiarity with church doctrine.

[Rachael]

Just finished Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. So much better than when I tried to read it for the first time in the 8th grade!

[Mikela]

Just finished Candide and liked it better than I had anticipated.

[Karina]

Just finished The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I was interested for the first 200 pages but after that the book went downhill from there. The characters were completely unlikeable.

[Danyellemastro]

Persuasion by Jane Austen. I was sceptical but it was great! I would recommend to anyone usually put off by period romances as it's a lot less pink and fluffy than anticipated.

[Elizabeth (Alaska)]

Finished The Plague last evening.

my thoughts

[Kyle]

The Secret History was to me great through the end - though the first half was a little more fun, the second half was basically Crime & Punishment in a preppy little college. Great stuff.

[Bucket]

Just finished Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. I love the fable-like quality of the writing and the personalization of the characters. From what I'd heard about the book ahead of time, I was afraid it would over-simplify the Christian missionaries vs. native Africans issue by turning each side into a homogenous group of like-minded lemmings. But, Achebe succeeded in getting across his message about cultural desctruction in Africa without romanticizing it. I'm impressed and very glad I read this.

I agree with you about Persuasion. It was my first Austen, and my favorite. I think it often gets overlooked.

[Anu]

Finally read "Sense and Sensibility". Much easier to read than the last time i tried... about 15 years ago!

It really has a slow start, but I loved it. It's one of my favourites from the list.

[Mikela]

Just completed A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian. While I did enjoy the book I found it neither comic nor the masterpiece advertised. A good read but not one that I can rave about or probably remember a year from now.
