I just finished my first time! It was very enjoyable!

[Lori, Super Mod]

Emily, I have Lolita here, but havent read it yet. I have, however, read three other Nabokov novels... and would expect that Lolita will be a great read!

[Glenn]

I just read Riddle-Master by Patricia A. McKillip. It's a must-read for anyone who likes high fantasy. I just picked up Titus Andronicus, which is supposed to be Shakespeare's bloodiest work. I'm only 160 lines in and some poor schmuck has already been chopped up. That'll appease the groundlings.

[Ashley]

I am loving the series. I can't believe I have not read them before.

It's one of my faves too, if not my most favourite... I think that everything changed when you read PoA, suddenly it wasn't a comfortable little children's story any more.

One of my favorites too. And I so agree with you Fiona, everything changes with it. And it´s great after reading Chamber of Secrets that I think it´s my less favorite of all.

[Linda]

Just finished The History of Love A Novel and (no pun intended) loved it. Gave it a 5 and would highly recommend it.

Fiona, I thought you loved ICTC and were recommending it highly! I am reading it and really like it! Its going pretty fast for me.

So glad you're liking it! Yay! Makes me so happy."


So there are 2 Fionas? LOL. I think there might be another Claire on here too!

[Nadia]

Hey Lori! Yes, Lunar Park is the one with a demon doll that looks like a furby. Crazy! I just finished The Rules of Attractions and it was pretty good. Definitely no American Psycho - which was wickedly interesting.

:-) Thank you Liz. Hope you try some of his others, they are very special and authentic.

I loved the movie In her shoes, but haven't read the book..yet.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Claire, I am known as Titch lol.

That's such a delightful book. Reading it made me hungry though, but oh, the story was greattt!

I am about to finish The Other Boelyn Girl and cant decide if I want to read Rebecca or Poison Study... decisions, decision.

Me, too. I always really liked the movie but the book is even better.

[Liz]

I didn't LOVE Rebecca but I enjoyed it a great deal!

R is for Richochet by Sue Grafton. I also have S and T from the library, then I'm caught up with the series.

Yep. That's one!

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Like Water for Chocolate - Laura Esqivel. Now reading The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath.

[Fiona (Titch)]

April, I loved reading it as well. I read it in a day with interruptions lol.

[Jaime]

I am currently reading Watchmen...Seeing the movie tomorrow nite so I really want to finish it but unfortunately that may not happen...

[April]

I can't wait to see Watchmen! We have the book in our bathroom, so I may have to borrow it to read in another room. It seems awkward but my male roomates like to read while they poop, ha ha.

Hi all,
i went in to the book store to get The Reader but was disappointed at the size of it. I like big fat reads so I get my money's worth. The Reader is as short as a shopping list and as I browsed through it, I had pretty much read it. I was put off by the older woman having an affair with a young boy. Did anyone else feel this way? Years later, the question arises, i she an innocent victim caught up in one of the worst times in modern history? I think not. She had no conscience when she seduced a young boy did she, which makes me wonder at the other things. What do others think? Not withstanding that the storyline is just the vehicle for the bigger questions.

I am finishing up The Vertigo Years Europe 1900-1914. It is really very good. My preliminary rating is 4 stars, but I may have to bump it up to five. Up to 1912 now.

I want to read both of those. I saw you posted a comment right below--was that regarding Like Water for Chocolate?
And April, I don't think it's awkward. A lot of people keep literature in the bathroom--I like to curl up in a hot bath with a good book.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Ann, if you are trying to discuss the novel, you might get better feedback here: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/8...

its the link to the "Wanna Discuss This Novel" thread.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

Back from my working-long-hours-induced-exile!

Finished The Fourth Bear--I just love Jasper Fforde's sense of humor.

Angela's Ashes--Not as depressing as I thought it would be. It was a good read and I'll be hopping over to the discussion thread next.

Finally got started on The Audacity of Hope and I'm about halfway through. Interesting and readable, but I can't read it in big chunks. I'm having to break it up with other books.

I think I'll also start the next in a series of westerns my dad loaned me.

[Claire]

Fiona wrote: "Claire, I am known as Titch lol."


Ok, and you are Fiona who is trying to get through ICTC (or the one who recommends it)! :)

[Emily]

I am reading Fire Magic by Maria V Snyder. It is the third book in a series and very good so far! The series is fabulous and I am eager to see how it will all end.

[Mosca]

Just finished The Antelope Wife by Louise Erdrich. I had forgotten how intense her fiction can be.

I gave it five stars. This book is for the courageous because it can be painful to read at times---the powerful prose and intense story line lead the reader through some rough emotional country. But on balance this is a tale of redemption on a most basic human level.

Still not sure what to read next.

[Lynai]

I am reading By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Weptby Paulo Coelho. I think I'll like this better than The Alchemist.

[JuliAnna]

It sounds like a Louise Erdrich novel might make a great group read sometime.

I finished The Invention of Air and Patricia McKillip's Alphabet of Thorn. I recommend the latter to fantasy readers. Now, I'm reading A Short History of Medicine (which is exactly as billed). And, I'm back to The Bridge of Birds, another fantasy novel that is rather unique and very engaging.

JG - I was the same way with AOH. I ended up really liking it, but it took me a long time to get through it and I had to mix it up with other books as well - and normally I'm a one-book-at-a-time kind of gal. :)

Lori, you're so sensible. (and helpful. and stuff.)

Love in the time of Cholera. This isn't going to leave me horribly depressed is it? Or should I stop now and pick up something light?

it has been four years ago that i read rebecca, wonder what it was about. I only remember that I liked it...but can't remember the story.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Listening to Tim - Colleen McCullough as well as reading The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath, King Edward VIII: The Official Biography - Philip Ziegler, Rainmaker - John Grisham.

[Ashley]

I am reading The Partly Cloudy Patriot by Sarah Vowell.

[Mosca]

Now I'm reading All Seated on the Ground by Connie Willis. Appparently it's a comedy about aliens landing on earth.

[Catherine]

Still working on Atonement, but I just picked up The Hellbound Hear by Clive Barker and I think I'll start that tonight.

I'm having trouble concentrating on one thing lately.

[Rebbie]

I picked up THE MASTER BUTCHER'S SINGING CLUB by Louise Erdrich after reading a review and now I CANNOT put it down!! Reminds me of Allende in her style. I haven't read her before, but she was in the finalist for National Book Award for the LAST REPORT ON THE MIRACLES AT LITTLE NO HORSE. I'll pick it up next.

Glad you're enjoying this one. It was one of my favorites last year.

[JuliAnna]

Finished Bridge of Birds instead of working this afternoon, which means lots of work tomorrow. And, I started I Capture the Castle. At first, I struggled with the writing style, but then I got completely caught up in the life of Cassandra and her family. Thanks, Fiona.

[Chrystal]

Just finished Last Kiss by Luanne Rice.....now starting Size 12 is Not Fat by Meg Cabot. This will be my first book by her. Has anyone else read her?
