It's a great book.

Me too ... and I second the "great book" comment! ;o)

[Donna]

I am reading Shantaram and I gotta admit I am glad that it is over 900 pages because I don't think I ever want it to end! This one is def gonna be one of my top faves.

[Donna]

I was reading The Thirteenth Tale but my husband decided to clean one day and doesn't remember where he put it (the bookshelf was apparently not an option)

[Yvette]

I am currently reading a classic:Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I actually went to Concord, MA last year on a mini tour which included the house this book was written at. It is a small house on a little acreage/farm, but an amazingly inspiring and beautiful place. I am half way through the book and am enjoying ever minute of it.

You can tell he's not a reader!

[galya]

Reading Never Let Me Go.

[Susan]

I finished The Time-Traveler's Wife and then saw the movie. I enjoyed the book far more, but it was interesting to experience both the book and the movie back to back. I am now reading To Kill a Mockingbird and I am loving every page of it.

[galya]

Am I the only one who has a problem with The Time Traveler's Wife the movie? :)

No. It was just okay. It was very disjointed. I think it helped to have just finished the book the day before. I'm surprised that a movie was even attempted.

I guess I just expected a lot more since I enjoyed the book a lot.

[Kristine]

I just finished The Road, so now I'm getting around to Mistress of the Art of Death, another group read from the Crime and Thriller group.

I am now reading American Psycho and White Oleander. White Oleander is amazing so far :)"

I liked the Time Travellers Wife a lot as well. I am looking forward to your review of American Psycho.

[Sarah]

This is late, but I just want to add that I love The Thirteenth Tale. It's one of my favorite books.

I'm reading a YA Shannon Hale: Enna Burning. Shannon Hale's books are so entertaining, I can't put it down. Next I think I'll read either The House at Riverton or Shogun. But I'm in university, and school's starting soon.... so I don't know how successful I'll be at finishing either. :'(

You're not alone in loving TTT. It has almost a cult following... well, not really, but it should :D I recommend The House at Riverton - it's better than The Forgotten Garden.

[LaTrica]

Just started Daggerspell. I first read and loved it as a teenager.

[Kristine]

I hope you enjoy this, Fiona!

[Sharon]

I am over halfway through with Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. A real page turner I was swept in right away and am not disappointed. I will read that next book.

Starting Sense and Sensibility for the Sept read

[Christina Stind]

I'm more than halfway through Un Lun Dun by China Miéville. An easy YA book that really shows up it's authors incredible imagination. I'm enjoying it a lot.

[barutiel]

Currently I am reading "Cloud Atlas" by David Mitchell. It seems really great :)

[Donna]

That's one of my huge favorites. I loved that book!!

[[deleted user]]

I started The Evil Seed by Joanne Harris. Vampires aren't really my thing, but hey, it's been hanging around on my bookcase for ages for I thought I might as well give it a go. I'm challenging myself to read it in one day (an ability I've lost).

[Donna]

I'm reading The Watcher in the Pine by Rebecca Pawel. It's the third book in the Insp. Tejada series.

[Liz]

SR (still reading) Story of Edgar Sawtelle ... (halfway) ;o)

[Petra X]

Julie and Julia.

[Donna]

I a bitching on pretty much every group that I am apart of about Shataram because 5 pages are nearly BLANK! Some words I am able to read but others are not.

This book is so good and to have a few pages almost impossible to read is just not fair! I am going to write to the publisher!!!!

You mean they're really faded?
Do write to the publishing house - maybe they'll send to a free replacement copy?

[Donna]

Some of the "invisable" pages are fairly legible given the right light but other pages are completely illegible. I emailed the publisher so...???

Cloud Atlas is an awesome book! Can't wait to read what you thought about it.

[Stephanie]

Currently reading The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

[Laurie]

Reading Living Dead in Dallas.....

[Christina Stind]

Reading The Grapes of Wrath for Steinbeck Summer. So far really good.

[Julie]

Reading The Heretic's Daughter.

[Nadia]

I'm reading The Housekeeper and The Professor.

[[deleted user]]

Re-reading Arcadia A Play for AS English Lit. I only read it in like July or August. Still, it is nice to go deeper, even if members of my class feel the need to perform it with a crude comic edge. :P

[Priscilla]

REading The Beach house by Jane Green..almost done :)

[Avigail]

well I read a couple I read the following:
1. The Name of the Rose including Postscript to the Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, I read it in greek that is called:Το Όνομα του Ρόδου.
2. Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, for a mounth read of another group in GR.
3. The Septembers of Shiraz by Dalia Sofer.
4. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards, for the fall challange.

[Sarah]

I have both the Agatha Christie Avigail mentioned AND The Name of the Rose on my TBR pile. P.S. My TBR pile is almost the same size as my read pile. Which is pretty pathetic. :)

[Stuart]

Reading Lockdown by Sean Black.

[Stuart]

I should add this is an off-line book club choice, not my personal one.

[Donna]

I just started Death on the Nevskii Prospekt by David Dickinson and I am enjoying it so far. Interesting setting in Tsarist Russia.

[Shannon]

I am reading The Gargoyle and I am finding it very well written and hard to put down. It is a surprising book in so many ways.

[Petra X]

Chicken by David Henry Sterry (Goodreads author). Kid with no money but a poetic bent becomes a street whore, or similar.

[Lisa]

Just started, finally, "The Red Tent." I'm probably the last person on the planet to read it!

[Jason]

Right now I have been re-discovering the classics and have 3 books going.

The Sun Also Rises - Hemingway

The Fall - Camus

The Jungle - Sinclair

I've found the re-reading these books after having lived a little they flourish with nuances I missed, and become less of an intellectual excersise that they were in high school or college.

[[deleted user]]

I started Wuthering Heights today for school. It will take me an age because we're reading it 'as a class'. 'Twill be my second attempt (found it OTT and exasperating before).
