Does it appear to be better than Time Travelers Wife?

The one I am reading is All the Names. Any others you would suggest?"

Hello. I would like to introduce myself, first as a LOVER of Saramago, and second as your humble moderator!

Of course I would be more than happy to direct you to some wonderful Saramago novels.... ☺☺

All The Names is a good one. Maybe a little slow to start, but comes into it's own quickly enough. The Cave is one of my favorites!

As far as recommendations, all of these, but not in any particular order:
Blindness
Seeing
All The Names
The Double
Death With Interupptions
The Cave

SO happy to hear you are loving it! Be sure to visit Audrey in the Q&A group to ask some questions or just gush over it! She pops in there quite frequently.

Carol, I do think, personally, it is a better novel than Time Traveler's Wife... I love the ghost story, the characters and the fact that a cemetery is a focal point!

I think the reason it is taking me so long is because it has no chapters. I tend to read "just one more chapter" a lot and with this one I can't!

[Dorie]

I finished the excellent "An Echo in the Bone" and loved it. I needed to read a mystery next so I'm picking up "Heaven's Keep" by William Kent Krueger.

Carol, I agree with Lori, I think it is a better novel. But then again, I was one of the few who didn't really click with The Time Traveler's Wife though. I like the characters much better. I feel there is an interesting variety. I think the writing style is great in both, but I still seem to be pulled into this book a lot more than I was with The Time Traveler's Wife.

I'll check out the group now Lori. It'll be interesting since I am reading the book!

I did not click with TTW either. I was hoping this one might be better for me.

I understand how you feel. That is why I got it from the library instead of purchasing it, but I definitely like it a lot. I'll keep you posted if you want.

Finished The Dirt by Motley Crue the other day which i enjoyed but it wasn't as good as i was expecting it to be.

Then i started Curse of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz which i'm now just over half way through. I'm liking it so far, finding it funny with interesting characters plus bonus is its not dragging on for me and i'm getting through it pretty quickly.

Oh, I like Tad Williams. If you like that one you should give the Otherland series a try. It's weird but good.

[Michelle]

Hey everyone. I'm reading the 'New Moon' (by Stephenie Meyer) for fun and 1984 (by Gorge Orwell) for studying.. Of course, I can't stop reading the New Moon. Sometime, I wish I were a vampire....

[Vicki]

I started Julia's Chocolates by Cathy Lamb. I liked the first chapter, but thought the second was a little strange, so we will see.

[Ann from S.C.]

I finished BREAKING DAWN and have to say I loved it. Am glad I finished the series. Now amm reading PANDORAS CLOCK by John J. Nance.

[Lauren]

Just finished Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice! Starting The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris!

[El]

I have two going right now:
So Long, See You Tomorrow, William Maxwell.
Zuleika Dobson, Max Beerbohm.

[Trish]

I am finishing the Historian. I am very disappointed with the book
---------------------
I was disappointed with this book too.
I am in the middle of the 2nd Outlander series book.

[Michelle♥]

Currently reading two books: The Shining by Stephen King and Hiroshima by John Hersey. I also re-read Twilight last night because I'm a dork. I actually broke the plastic seal on the collector's box just to re-read it. Never thought I would do that but my love for a fictional character got the best of me.

So now about a third into both of these books. I can't wait til I'm done so I can read some more of the books that have been impatiently glaring at me on my TBR bookcase.

[Liz]

I just finished New Moon and am still working on Lady Audley's Secret and Gulyand. Plus I need to start Tender is the Night tomorrow.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I'm reading The Guns of Avalon right now. I should finish it soon, then I'll probably pick back up with my Halloween-y books and read I Am Legend.

[[deleted user]]

I'm reading My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult, i think i'm going to enjoy it once i get used to the chapters being from different characters stand-points. I think it might be yet another book that puts me in tears, especially if i can go by peoples comments on here.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Listening to Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay.

Yes, get the tissues prepared. And I'm sure you'll get used to the different character chpaters...it is a major part of the story.

[Kelly]

Jayme, thanks for the recommendation! I have Otherland to read next. The War of the Flowers is good so far. I like the way the author writes. It's very "real." I felt so bad for Theo for the first 100 or so pages.

[Carol]

I am reading The Sunne In Splendor-Sharon Kay Penman

[Donna]

Had to put down house of Leaves now I am reading The Lovely Bones

[Beth]

Just finished The Secret of Lost Things A Novel and gave it 4 stars. I really enjoyed this story...I am surprised it has received low ratings from other GoodReaders. I thought the characters and the "mystery" were great! Right now I'm reading The Man in the Picture and The Girl Who Played with Fire.

[Catamorandi]

Just finished the Bell Jar. I really enjoyed it. I am starting with The Time Traveller's Wife today.

The Outlander Series may be my fave books ever. They are ALL so great! Happy Reading!

JG - nice to see you reading Zelazny. One of my favorites.

I just finished All the Windwracked Stars, a strange mix of Norse myth, dystopia, and techno-magic. It did not have all the allegory or allusions found in Zelazny's work, the characters had more human interest (the author is a woman) - but she had some of the same tendencies to mix ideas with imagination and fearless disregard for logic.

I'll probably be starting Treason's Shore next, to see how Sherwood Smith ends her Inda series.

[Kelly]

I love the Outlander series too but to be honest the second and third book were a little slow to me. But they were so important to give you the build-up to the relationship. I don't really look at the other Outlander books as a normal series because it goes so in depth into the relationship building that the storyline takes more of a back burner. At least for me...

[Cay]

I just started two new ones yesterday....

Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Daughter of Fotune by Isabel Allende

I'm not far enough into either to really have an opinion...but SHF is starting to get on my nerves...his thought are too jumbled.

[Kelly]

I Am Legend was a complete let down for me. So much build up for a let down of an ending.

I love Isabel Allende . Have you read her Zorro, what a fun book. I did not like SHF too depressing.

[Cait]

Starting The Silence Of The Lambs by Thomas Harris!"

I always thought the movie was great until I read the book. They don't even compare! The book is so much better; I hope you enjoy it.

[Cait]

I just finished The Book of Ralph A Novel, a coming of age novel that I really enjoyed.

I'm starting 2666 by Roberto Bolano. I've wanted to read this book for quite some time but kept putting it off (it seems a bit daunting). I'm ready to dive in now though, and I hope that it exceeds my expectations.

I also plan to read my first Murakami - either Kafka on the Shore or The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. Any recommendations on which one?

[Jayme]

Kelly wrote: "I Am Legend was a complete let down for me. So much build up for a let down of an ending. "

I haven't read the book yet for that one, but I watched the movie. I wanted to read the book to see if they did a better job with the ending...is it the same ending as the movie? If so I might skip that one. It was indeed a let down.

The book is nothing like the movie. I'd say the movie is LOOSELY based on the book. I was disappointed as I just finished the book and really enjoyed the movie.

[Jayme]

Thanks Christy. I found the movie disappointing so maybe I will like the book!

[KarenLee]

I finished Too Loud a Solitude by Bohumil Hrabal last night and have just started A Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.

As far as Muramaki goes, I really liked Kafka on the Shore. Very strange, but very intriguing novel. Highly recommend it.

I am currently reading 2 books. Still trekking through The Poisonwood Bible...this book is really rough going for me. I can't seem to read more than 3 pages at a time.
I also started Atonement. Not far into it enough to form an opinion yet.

[Lindz]

Yeah, I Love Sunne in Splendour, though Richard and Anne got on my nerves a little.

[Paula]

I'm just getting going in "The Heart-Shaped Box" Joe Hill. It's pretty good so far but I'm not yet 100 pages in. It's good enough to keep me wanting to get back to it.

[Lindz]

Heart Shaped Boxed scared the living stuffing out of me! Fantastic book.

I am loving it so far Lindsay but I don't know if I'd read it if my hubby weren't here! LOL

[Sue]

I am reading Her Fearful Symmetry

[Dorie]

I've just started A Kiss Before the Apocalypse by Thomas Sniegoski. Great beginning.

[Eden]

I'm reading Hex by Arthur H. Lewis
