This is my favorite Hemingway! I read it last spring for a class and absolutely loved it. I hope you enjoy it!

[Paula]

I'm just starting "Fearless Fourteen". I'm looking forward to Stephanie and the gang.

[Marti]

I am reading House Rules by Jodi Piccoult and I am mesmerized and had to force myself to put the books down to accomplish other things!!!!!

Paula - LOVE LOVE all of the Stephanie Plum books - already have preordered Sizzling Sixteen. Her books make me laugh out loud until I hurt from laughing so hard!!!

[Jamaie]

I started just last night & literally got pulled in within the first few sentences.

[Paula]

Same thing for me Marti. I buy them in paperback so am always one behind. I got my hubby hooked on them also, he loves them and he doesn't read a lot of fiction. : )

[Joseph]

Finished The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and have started This Side of Paradise

[Lianne]

I've started reading Ian McEwan's Amsterdam (finally got my hands on it after eyeing it for ages). I'm about a chapter in but it's shaping to be an interesting read =)

[Clara]

I am now reading Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. So far so good.

[Susan]

I'm reading When You Went Away by Michael Baron and The Secret Life Of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain. Loving both of them!!

[Vicki]

I am reading A Reliable Wife. It is quite strange.

[Catamorandi]

I am reading Light in August by William Faulkner.

I liked it a lot.

[Jayme]

I took a quick break from Wizard's First Rule to read Batman: Arkham Asylum, which was not bad, but not not amazing either.

I just finished a Reliable Wife last week. Let me tell you, it does not get any less strange as you read further. I think the jacket cover was misleading. I was expecting a shocking twist, but was left with a predictable, unrealistic turn of events. I did, however, like the winter imagery and the metaphors all throughout the book.

Roth is taking ideas and concepts that I'm familiar with from other areas (mindfulness and meditation) but linking those specifically to our sometimes disfunctional relationship with food. "
I've toyed with reading this, but was a bit worried when Oprah went all gaga over it. I either love her recommendations or hate them.

[chucklesthescot]

I'm on Pride and Prejudice and Zombies which has been a fun read so far. I'm probably going to go with The Hunger Games as my next read.

[Susan]

I loved the Hunger Games.

[Mary]

I've just started Death and Burial in Medieval England: 1066-1550 and have These Is My Words as my back-up plan.

[Tracy]

I started The Blue Notebook over the weekend. It's a very dark topic, but a good read, so far. It's drawing me right in.

[Marti]

I finished House Rules late last night. I felt I needed to finish it before I went to sleep. I was waiting for the WOW ending. Unfortunately, I had figured it out.. still found the book to be quite good. I gave it five stars when it probably was more like a 4 and 1/2 stars. The rating is so high as the book made you really think about why things are the way they are. I also have really started to think about children who have siblings with severe disabilities and how their lives are proscribed by their siblings limits. Not only do they have to take a back seat to their siblings, but they are expected to help take care of them forever.

[Liz]

I just finished Outlander & loved it! I'm still reading Three Cups of Tea & am trying to decide on my next book to read. I'm torn between The Maze Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, & Dragonfly in Amber.

[Linda]

Started this morning. Looks like a quick read and so far so good.

[El]

I'm currently reading Death Kit: A Novel by Susan Sontag. I previously read her first book (The Benefactor: A Novel) which was only so-so... this was her second book and already I'm enjoying it so much more. I'm just finishing up my lunch break at work and am very grumpy about not being able to continue reading.

[Liz]

I just finished Midnight's Children and am working my way through the appendices of Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, and am also reading Breaking Dawn.

[Bhumi]

I'm reading the second in the Sookie Stackhouse series, Living Dead in Dallas.

Yeah, the language is holding me in. But otherwise, I am really creeped out.

[Maria]

i'm STILL reading Shutter Island, i just haven't had enough hours in the day to actually sit and read it. if i had a good 45 minute chunk of time, i could finish it. i just have so much going on right now, that i don't have extra time to read. hopefully that will change after this weekend (race weekend, yay!). although i will say that Shutter Island is totally not what i expected....

Joseph...what did you think about The Boy in the Striped Pajamas? I just finished this book yesterday and I really enjoyed it.

Tracy...What is The Blue Notebook about?

[Jenna]

Reading The Girl Who Played with Fire and am really enjoying it. I struggled to get into the first one, but this one grabbed my attention right away.

I read this recently and words fail to describe how much I loved it.

[Lianne]

I've finally started reading Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall after it had been sitting on my TBR list for a whole school year. Should be an interesting read =)

[Tracy]

It's the story of a 12 year old girl in India who was sold into prostitution by her father. Her way of coping with her situation is writing stories in her blue notebook. It is a horrible but fascinating read. You know, like a horrible car wreck that's terrible, but you can't keep from looking. It is beautifully written.

[Bridgit]

I started Jack Finney's Time and Again last night and its been great so far. I love learning local history - especially about New York City where I live - so this is really striking a note with me.

[Dana *]

I just finished A Touch of Dead and am 1/3 into God of the Razor while also starting The 13th

[Katie]

I'm reading a GoodReads giveaway win, Essie in Progress: A Novel. 50 pages in and I'm loving it!

[Linda]

I just got A Reliable Wife at the our local consignment store. Soooo, it the strange you both mention a "good" or a "bad" strange?

It sounds like a wonderful book. I added it to my TBR list!

[Karina]

Just finished the Anodyne Necklace by Martha Grimes and will be jumping into 2 books; Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie and The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence. Two completely opposite genres! This should be interesting!

[Devin]

I finished The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver and really really liked it. Even after it was done I wasn't ready to put it down so I read all the afterwards (about the author, about the book, about her other books, etc etc). So good!

Now I just started Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. It's too early to give an opinion, but I'm really hoping it's good because it was my suggestion for my book club and I've had too many thumbs down on my past suggestions! Fingers crossed.

[PDXReader]

Finished The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic--and How It Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World, which I enjoyed much more than I thought I would. The writing style reminded me of Eric Larson's. If you liked The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America, I suspect you'll enjoy Ghost Map as well.

[Lori, Super Mod]

I am just starting Legend Of A Suicide, it's a semi-autobiographical novel about a boy whose father commits suicide, and his return to hometown 30 years later.

[Suzanne]

I just finished Little Bee. I enjoyed the prose and the way that the author could get into each character's head. You could almost see through their eyes. However, and if this makes any sense, I didn't love the storyline itself.

[Flora]

I'm working my way through Anna Karenina, its been really good but very long. I'm begining to wonder if it actually ever ends. I've also been trying to get started on Shutter Island but haven't had the time to get very far into it.

[Vicki]

I am still trying to figure that out. The characters are really messed up. At least the guy is and he seems to have an obsession with sex that is beyond any sort of norm I know of. Yet for some reason I feel I need to know where it goes. From what I hear, it's only going to become even more strange.

This reminds me a bit of the YA novel, Sold, which I felt was eye-opening, but a great read. I will have to check it out.

[Ann from S.C.]

Finished THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE and gave it 5 stars. Now am reading CODE TO ZERO by Ken Follet.

[Carol]

I am reading The Quiet American -Graham Greene.

[Marti]

Linda, I thought The Reliable Wife was good. The story line was different and there were some twists. I can understand the description of strange, as in different.

I am going to add The Blue Notebook to my TBR list - which is getting very long!!!

I am reading The Secret Duke right now. Something light and frilly after House Rules.

[Nicole]

I just finished the Godfather, all in three days! It was a delightful read, Puzo is great. Now I'm about to try Winegardner's attempt at a sequel: The Godfather Returns. I'll give it a chance, but if it's not up to Puzo's standard I might have to put it down...
