I'm reading The Night Circus. So far, I'm not impressed. I'm on page 69, and the story hasn't started yet. There is no emotional involvement, neither by the author nor by the reader. I can only guess who is going to be the protagonist(s), because the POV jumps erratically. It seems that the story should be beautiful and tantalizing... when it starts. I'm not sure I'll read so long. But to give it its due, the language is amazing and the cover lovely. It's clearly a literary novel, which for some reason uses fantasy as a prop. Perhaps I'm missing a point? I know many people like it. I'll try to muddle through.
For now, to give myself a respite from literary, I started to re-read (for the umpteenth time) one of Jayne Ann Krentz's novels, Family Man. I love her books, especially the ones written between 1990 and 2007. They are invariable good, easy read. I know what it's about and how it will end, and I still enjoy it.

Oh, yeah! Many of my stories start the same way: I want to get into the book and 'fix' things. I want the protagonist's abusive personality to be a mask of vulnerability or a secondary character to acquire a magical lipstick. I often think: what if it didn't go the way the author pointed but in the opposite direction.

Read it years ago. From my recollection, it was a good diary read.

I am reading Autobiography of Malcolm X

[Gemma]

I'm reading Peril by Thomas H. Cook. Really enjoying it so far, I'm about half way through

[Aoibhínn]

I started on The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf yesterday. I'm a few chapters into it so far and its a bit of a page turner.

We definitely do! Other things should be able to sort themselves rather than requiring being done and infringing on precious reading time!!

[Teneal]

I'm currently reading and and .

So far I'm not really enjoying On Chesil Beach. I don't know how it got nominated for a Booker Prize. And I'm loving the other two.

Just finished Howards End and now starting
LightMasters: Number 13

[Tara-Jayne (♥ I Read, I Love ♥) , The Great & Mighty Mod! :P]

I started reading for the Group Read :)

[Hayley]

- rereading and loving it!! Also, how did I enjoy this, unabridged, when I was 12? I musta been a right anti-social recluse!

Found out I can read books on e-readers when I'm on the train - this is new to me and boy did I make the most of it this weekend, I only started this book on the train up Friday :D

[[deleted user]]

I decided it was time to read The Iron Daughter as I read in the first in the series ages ago.

The MC started getting on my nerves almost immediately. I didn't recall her being so annoying in the first book - I'm sure I wouldn't have put it on my series-to-be-followed shelf if she was. Mind you, I have read an awful lot of YA PNR since then so my tolerance for whiny heroines might be significantly lower... Anyway, I'm persevering and at least the pace is starting to pick up now. :)

[Aoibhínn]

I just started reading the second book in the Stephanie Plum series Two for the Dough.

I love it! Just a warning tho', it does all come across through letters and diary entries, but you do start to forget that pretty quickly.

[louise]

I've finished Beautiful Days and I'm now reading .

[Aoibhínn]

I've just began reading The Shakespeare Secret by J.L. Carrell this evening.

[Varian Rose]

I'm currently reading . Seeing that this is "Christian fiction" I'm a little nervouse. I hope he shows the Gothic subculture in a posititve light instead of something inheritently evil.

[Aoibhínn]

I'm reading The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales.

[Varian Rose]

I finished . I'm glad he potrayed the Gothic subculture in a positive light. This book went on my favorites shelf.

[Hayley]

Ugh, just written down all the books I need to read before I can go book shopping again - it could be a while :S

I'm really enjoying The Pillars of the Earth so far, but the length of it is still a tad intimidating, in a good way ;D

[Colena]

I'm currently reading and im about halfway finished with it.

I've just started reading the third book in the Stephanie Plum series Three to Get Deadly.

That's one of my all time favorites! Definately keep at it! Did you ever see the mini-series they did on it?

[Casey]

I abandoned Emma, and now i'm reading The Time Traveler's Wife again. I've only read it once before. I joined an online book club- so I have to read Love in the Time of Cholera after this. I'm excited though, I love some romance

[Maya]

Just started reading Pebble Cove By Mairead O'Driscoll

I've put Robinson Crusoe to the side for the time being (the opening chapter was a giant bore) so I'm now reading

I really enjoyed that one and I just finished which was fun too - practically spent all of yesterday reading it!

Moving on to tonight to finish off that series. Though I haven't read the two novellas Winter's Passage or Summer's Crossing but from comments I've seen they are just filler stories and not vital to the series as a whole...
