I really liked that one! Not as much as I liked the movie, though..."


I'm just about to watch the movie,I was a bit unsure first but everyone says it's such a classic, so I'll give it a go!

[Erin]

I am currently reading The Devil Wears Prada.

[Melanie]

After it sitting on my shelf for about three years, finally getting around to reading The Book Thief. Very good so far!

[Gitte]

I'm listening to The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami.

Currently reading "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. Fantastic piece of fiction with a dash of some interesting facts. Good thriller.

[[deleted user]]

Just started reading Girl, Interrupted (Faber and Faber Screenplays) Screenplay based on the book and so far I'm enjoying it very much. It's bit different from the film but just as good.

[[deleted user]]

Une Page D'amour - Zola

[Gitte]

I'm reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

[[deleted user]]

Finished reading 'Girl, Interrupted' last night. Now reading The Woman in Black - classic horror. So far it's pretty good, I want to finish reading it before I go and see the film in the cinema which comes out here in a few days.

[Lucie]

I am currently reading The Quiet Girl. I bought it because I really loved Hoeg's Smilla's Sense of Snow. It's still really good but Smilla was better.

Angles and Demons is a great book! I would like to hear your opinion of it when the last page is turned.

[Aoibhínn]

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

[Aoibhínn]

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

[Zsu]

I'm nearing the end of The House of the Spirits, a beautiful book!

[Tabatha]

Currently reading:
* The Mammoth Hunters by Jean M. Auel for my Goal project for my Critical Thinking Through Literature class.

* Literary Experience by Bruce Beiderwell and Jeffery M. Wheeler (parts of, but not in its entirety)
* Thinking for yourself by Marlys Mayfield (parts of, but not in its entirety)

I'm reading other books for school as well, but one is currently in my bag and I can't remember the title, and the other has a book cover over it so I'm also lazy to check that. lol

[Gitte]

I'm reading Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane.

[Rhiann]

I am reading Persuasion by Jane Austen right now!

I finished The Help about a month ago, it was absolutely amazing.

[Aoibhínn]

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

[Melanie]

Just started Angelfall...very much enjoying it so far!

[Medina]

I'm currently reading "One Day" by David Nicholls. Really liking it so far!

[[deleted user]]

I am very much enjoying it! :) Glad to hear that it's a good book!

Rien de grave - Justine Lévy

[Risica]

I'm currently re-reading The Great Gatsby by Fitzgerald. I had read it in high school, but I didn't remember too much about it. So far, I find it kind of "meh".

[Literary Multitudes]

I really love "The Secret History". It has such a great atmosphere. I need to re-read it. :-)

I just started re-reading the discworld series and began with "The Colour of Magic". Great, as always!

[Aoibhínn]

I'm reading The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales. The TV show Grimm is about start airing in Ireland for the 1st time this week. Since is supposed to be based on storylines from the book, I wanted to read it first before I start watching the series.

[Gitte]

I just started Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading Emma by Jane Austen.

[Aoibhínn]

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

[Lucie]

Is it good? I've always wanted to read something by Arthur Miller.

Some of it is very good, but it's quite depressing. Some parts are a bit confusing, but I've a feeling that it'll make more sense later.

[Melanie]

Nearly done with Peter Pan. Not quite as good as I was expecting but still enjoyable.

So..."

Thanks! Enjoy the rest! :)

[Gitte]

I'm reading The Virgin in the Garden by A.S. Byatt.

[Zsu]

I'm reading the The Catcher in the Rye, a classic.

[Aoibhínn]

I've started reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale by Jodi Picoult.

[[deleted user]]

I just started reading Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami. He's one of my favourite authors.

[Dini, the master of meaning]

Agness, which Murakami book would you definitely recommend? I've read After Dark and couldn't finish his short story collection, The Elephant Vanishes. The one I really liked was only his memoir, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running.

[Literary Multitudes]

I know I'm not Agness, but my all-time favorite Murakami is "Norwegian Wood". Wonderful atmosphere! I'd really recommend that one. :-)

[Dini, the master of meaning]

Oh, I forgot to mention I already read Norwegian Wood, but I didn't like it that much. It wasn't the writing, but some parts of the story were just unconvincing for me. Thanks anyway, though!

[Julie]

The Thirteenth Tale. Turns out, I've read it before...but I don't remember how it ends or if I liked it so I will press on.

It's nice to have Goodreads now to track what I've read.

I thought of reading those but I know they have horrific endings and I just cant bring myself to mess with childhood memories.

I don't watch TV, so I'm not familiar with the show.

Hope you enjoy the stories.

I'd have to use SparkNotes to remember all of the symbolism in there. Symbolism always makes me think of a secret puzzle within the story that you have to break. Of course I'm always looking for a chance to play Nancy Drew. :)

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading Songs Of The Humpback Whale last night and it was awful. Today I've started reading All We Know of Heaven by Jacquelyn Mitchard.

[Melanie]

Started The Secret Garden today.

[Lori]

I'm going back and forth reading multiple things. Last night I was reading Love in the Time of Cholera, but I've also been reading Divine Secrets of the YA-YA Sisterhood. This morning I'm feeling like reading Mrs. Dalloway. I have a ton of thesis work to do today, among other things, so I may not get to read for me at all.

[Aoibhínn]

I've just began reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King today.

[Zsu]

I'm reading The Book Thief, so far so good :)

[Julie]

Secret Life of Bees. I like being able to jump into a story where it's a nice hot summer day. Gets me away from the winter weather for awhile.
