Ooooo, Jen, Devil in the White City is a great book. I loved the details about the fair and the murder mystery thrown into the mix.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Finished The Priest (eh) and moving on to Outer Dark by McCarthy. I am already 75 pages in. Typical of his other novels, it's sparce and quick paced.

[Beth]

Recently finished Shop Class as Soulcraft An Inquiry Into the Value of Work, 3 stars, and Chasing Windmills, 4 stars. Now reading The Double Bind by Chris Bohjalian.

[Michelle♥]

I won a free book thanks to this website and thanks to ENC Press!

I won Dear Mr. Unabomber by Ray Cavanaugh. I'm going to start it tonight, and will probably finish The Invisible Man tonight as well.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Hooray for free books.

[Elena]

I am reading Water for Elephants. The story doesn't grab me....

[Lori, Super Mod]

Oh no Elena... I loved that book. I had to thank the group for voting it in as a group read here otherwise I may never have picked it up on my own!

[Lauren]

Just finished A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. Starting Heaven Eyes by David Almond!

[Marti]

Reading Making Toast a book I won as a first reads on BookBrowse.com. I am finding it a fast read full of feelings and compassion...

What do you think about The Lace Reader?

[Jennifer]

I started Songs of the Humpback Whale A Novel in Five Voices last night.

[Tammy AZ]

Reading The Helpand am loving it. I just finished The Jungle The Uncensored Original Edition which sadly still holds some truth today.

[Robin]

Vanity Fair. enjoying it so far.

[Peregrine]

Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. I wish I had a daisy: I like this book, I like it not, I like this book, I like it not. Right now I like it.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Last month in the bath I started The Comfort of Strangers - Ian McEwan so I will carry on reading that today as its only 100 pages. Then I will read Poor Little Bitch Girl - Jackie Collins.

[Rajan]

Just finished reading digital fortress. Its very different from typical dan brown books but a good read. Get interesting in the begining but some characters are of conflicting nature. Now starting with Eragon by Christopher Paolini.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Chopper which i liked, a good insight to an interesting slightly disturbed man.

Now i'm onto Soulmates by Miranda Glover.

Was planing on starting Marked by PC Cast but i think once i start that then i will have to continue with the rest of the series and i don't want to do that just yet.

[Writerlibrarian]

Started one of my guilty pleasure : Torchwood books. I'm reading Torchwood Pack Animals. Needed my Captain Jack fix.

[Marti]

Reading The Virgin Queen's Daughter by Ella March Chase.... Based on the notion that Queen Elizabeth, before she was queen had a daughter in secret who is the main character of this book Nell de Lacey.... It is a work of fiction and so far interesting!!!

That does sound interesting! I just finished some historical novels about Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth. I may have to add it to my list...

[Susanna]

Next up: Michael Chabon's Wonder Boys, to be started tonight.

[Donna]

Finished Murder on the Eiffel Tower by Claude Izner. It was good but the plot was a bit uneven. It's the first in the series and I did like the setting and some of the main characters so I may try the next.

On to Hidden Moon by James Church. I really loved the character of Inspector O in the first book in the series but again the plot was a bit hard to follow. Friends have said Hidden Moon is much better so I am giving it a try.

[Lori Ann]

I'm just starting The Girl Who Played with Fire. I loved dragon tattoo so I'm excited to get reading!

[Kathy]

I'm reading A Touch of Dead, Charlaine Harris' short story collection of all of her Sookie short stories.

[Mary]

I loved The Double Bind. How are you liking it so far?

[Mary]

I finished Heart-Shaped Box - a good, creepy read.
I think I'll read Housewrights next.

[Jayme]

I'm on the library list for both of those, 21st and 44th respectively...don't think I'll be reading them anytime soon. Can't wait to here how everyone else likes GWPWF this month!

[Cait]

I just finished Life of Pi by Yann Martel. For the first 2/3 the book was sitting at a solid 3 star rating. By the time I finished it, however, it was definitely 4 stars.

Now I'm reading The Violent Bear It Away A Novel by Flannery O'Connor.

[Michelle♥]

I just finished The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells. Very typical Wells writing and I liked it.

I also just finished Dear Mr. Unabomber by Ray Cavanaugh. O-M-Goodness! I could NOT stop laughing my butt off! I would have never picked it up otherwise, and won it here as a first reads, it was AWESOME! Reminding me a lot of Holden Caufield. Very hilarious.

I don't know what to start next...Maybe Rebecca.

Mary wrote: I loved The Double Bind. How are you liking it so far?

So far, I am into it. We'll see what I think by the end of the story. To be perfectly honest, this is the first book written by Chris Bohjalian that I have read. I lived for fifteen years in the same area of Vermont where he resides and also references in his stories, so for some reason up until now, I was not all that interested. I love to get lost in a book, and its not as much fun to "imagine" the scenery when I can actually picture the real towns, streets, buildings, houses, restaurants, etc. that he mentions. The "realness" of his settings takes something away for me. I'll try to be a big girl and get over it :-)

[Paula]

I've just started "The Marriage Trap" Elizabeth Thornton. It's for a challenge I'm doing on a yahoo group.

[Lianne]

I am currently reading E.M. Forster's The Longest Journey. The plot is quite interesting, about a young man who is disillusioned and resigns himself to conformity.

[Jenna]

Started reading Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn. It is cute so far. Interesting read. I'm also still reading House of Leaves. This is a hard book to read...the footnotes are making me nuts!

[Maicie]

Just finished Her Fearful Symmetry and gave it 4 stars. Just started The Whispering Room for another group.

[Brenda]

Elena wrote: "I am reading Water for Elephants. The story doesn't grab me...."

I found it started out slow, but it is worth sticking with. I ended up enjoying the story.

[Angie]

I'm reading Methland.

[Lauren]

Finished Heaven Eyes by David Almond this morning! I loved it! Now reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak!

[Claire]

I'm (still still still) reading The Boelyn Inheritance. It should be a fast read and I'm really enjoying it,but have just been busy with other things
the last few weeks that have taken me away from reading. Hopefully things will calm down. My books are calling to me.!!

[Jayme]

Started Under the Volcano A Novelby Malcolm Lowry today and I'm also reading Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman.

So far Under the Volcano is really slow, hoping it picks up soon.

[Marti]

I also loved The Double Bind. Loved the twists.

I loved it when I read it Elena. Maybe it's one that just isn't for you. : )

[Lori Ann]

I have a question for anyone who has read Ruiz Zafon's Shadow of the Wind and Angels Game. I put them both on hold at the library and Angel's Game came in but I'm still on hold for Shadow. Is it necessary to read Shadow first?

In the mean time I'm still working on Girl Who Played With Fire!

[Catherine]

I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and decided to pick up A Mercy by Toni Morrison.

Loved the first, but felt the pacing was a little off (uneven?) but I really enjoyed it.

[Lindz]

Angel's Game is kind of prequel of sorts to shadow in the wind, but each has its own story. So you can pick any book you want.

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

I finished My Cousin Rachel. It was just okay. Rebecca was much better.

I also ripped throughFound, a book my 11-year-old cousin recommended. It was a page-turner! I recommend it if you read YA!

Now I'm getting back to Moonlight in Odessa. I won it here and started it about a month ago, but I wasn't in the mood for it then. I'm going to get it knocked out now though. It starts off well.

[Mary]

I'm still reading The Wrong Mother but I've gotten bogged down. It's gotten a bit trite, unfortunately---and it started out so strong! I just found out that this is actually the 3rd or 4th in a series about 2 detectives (or UK equivalent),which would explain some of the more mysterious referrences and why there's so many bits about their personal relationships. Meh, I don't really care about that, I wanted a suspense novel, not a love story! But I'll soldier on.

I read this book several years ago and liked it so much, I had to read her other books. Enjoy!

I finished Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut over the weekend, and I'm now about halfway through The End of the Affair by Graham Greene.

[Jayme]

How did you like Player Piano, Jessica? That's one I'd like to read someday.

Jen and Kathy, We read DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY for my
Wonderland Book Club a few months ago, and I liked it.
The author's journalistic, statement of the facts, no
emotion style was easy for me to accept and read it all the way to its finale. I have friends who grew up in Chicago and loved reading about how the streets and buildings got their names.
