Ooh - there's also a new compilation of short stories, [book:Dracula's Guest: and other Victori..."

I can vouch for that anthology. I won it as a First Reads book and while there were a couple of stories that I felt weren't really that great, most of it was amazing.

[Sasha]

So you're one of the winners! I was up for that too. Damn you, Alisha! *shaking fist with impotent rage*

:)

F1Wild:

Girl in Translation is on my to-read list and Kitchen Chinese: A Novel About Food, Family, and Finding Yourself this looks like another good one.

I get so many great suggestions in these groups :).

Uh....that poem was written by William Carlos Williams...not Ernest Hemingway.

[Carol]

Ah so that was why I was not familiar with it.

[Susanna]

Sydvicious & Jo,

I hope you enjoy Palahniuk! :)

[Paula]

I've just started "Open" Andre Agassi. It's been interesting so far and I'm not that far into it. I always loved watching him play.

So far so good!! :) Diary is the first one I have read by him..... what others do you suggest?

Have you read the classic Dracula-by Bram Stoker. That is the original vampire tale."

Whats it about? Like as in da story line lol :)

I would recommend Survivor and Invisible Monsters . I can't be objective about Fight Club because I saw the movie first and by the time I read the book, I'd already been influenced by the movie so much that I had no choice but to love it. I liked Choke as well. I read Lullaby and Diary but thought they were only okay.

I haven't read anything since Diary but I have all of his work on my TBR list and some I already own so it's only a matter of time before I give in and read everything :)

Oh I wanted that one too! dang. Still plan to try and get ahold of it.

[Sasha]

Let's find out where Alisha lives and toss her apartment.

Susanna, Wow. You are like my Palahuink twin!! I felt the same way about each book (except Fight Club - saw the movie/ never read the book)!!

[Lori, Super Mod]

I finally finished Agaat. Took me 13 days to read it..Phew!

Now I am moving on to The Case of the Missing Servant: a Vish Puri mystery to prepare myself for the author discussion with Tarquin that starts here next Monday....

Whose going to join in?

[Mary]

I just got The Case of the Man Who Died Laughing: From the Files of Vish Puri, Most Private Investigator, Lori. It's my first Vish Puri Mystery, I am hoping I have discovered a new series to love.

[Mona]

Lori & Mary: Both of these Vish Puri mysteries sound fun and I've added them to my list. I've already reserved The Case of the Missing Servant at my library and I'm only 2nd in line. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

These are both more modern day stories - Girl in Translation is heartbreaking, yet inspiring and I tend to think it mirrors the authors life a bit. Kitchen...is more of a NY to Beijing Bridgit Jones/Nanny Diaries style in writing, not content.

That's been on my TBR list since before it was published (so, why haven't I read it yet??). I hear it allows us to meet a completely different person than we saw as a media image on the court.

Yes! It's pretty good so far."
I read he has been working on a screenplay version of the book for film. Have you seen any of his (and Stephen Fry's) Jeeves & Wooster stuff?? Hilarious!!

Ohh Mary, I hope you will join us when the author pops in this coming week!!

Yeah! The book came out over a year ago, so that's probably why the line is so short.

[Mona]

Lori: I hope that's the reason. Usually when the line is short, either everyone has read/seen it or nobody wants to.

I had never heard of it until now. I learn about so many books/authors here.

[Jordan]

Vampire academy is awsome

I believe you made that clear already.

[F1Wild]

Hahaha, I was just about to reply with a big "REALLY??"!

[Betsy]

Hey,
I finished The Passage by Cronin.The characteization was marvelous. I got a little bogged down at the end,but I think that was me not the book. If for some reason it does get chosen as the monthly book, it will be a delight to re-read as I just inhaled this time around.

Hate to break it to you Alex, but you wouldn't find it. My sister came over yesterday and took possession of it while I wasn't looking. I chased her down screaming "It's nothing like Twilight, you won't like it!", but she decided to try anyway...

[Sasha]

Alisha wrote: "It's nothing like Twilight, you won't like it!"

HA!

[Paula]

F1Wild, I'm only about 50 pages in but it's got me hooked so far. It starts out with the final game before retirement and the process he goes through before each game. Now I'm into his childhood. So far I can't believe he's the man he turned out to be. I'll leave it there and maybe it will pique your curiosity. I'm really enjoying it so far. : )

[Matthew]

So I just finished Pop Goes the Weasel (Alex Cross,#5) and gave it four stars. I like this series because if nothing more they usually make for quick, entertaining and amusing reads.

Today I plan on starting The Kingmaking. It's a historical-fiction book (my favorites) on what the real life King Arthur could or would have been like. This is the first book of a three book series. I'm really looking forward to starting this one tonight.

[Tori]

Currently chugging through The Hobbit. Next up is The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society or one of the many other books in my pile of to-reads!

[Carol]

Wrong place Jake . This belongs in the promotion thread.

Cheers Paula! I appreciate your update & recommendation - will read it soon!

[Jayme]

I started The Island of The Island of Dr. Moreau on audio today. Should be a quick and interesting read.

[Sasha]

Ah cool, Jayme! Lemme know if it's good. You've read League of Extraordinary Gentlemen #2, right? (On my wife's netbook, too irritating to check your profile.)

[Jayme]

...I haven't read any of the League yet...I'm going to the corner of shame now.

[Sasha]

Yeah, well, I totally judge you. When you're done with Moreau - which I totally haven't read, so I'll see you in the corner - read the first two volumes of LOEG. First is awesome; second is also awesome and briefly but importantly references Moreau.

[Mary]

I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire and am amazed that any of the characters can stop having sex long enough to accomplish anything.

Never read a Laurell Hamilton Merry Gentry book!! ;-))

[Sissy]

The Red Tent. I have the feeling that I may have read it before - that or something that was very similar.

[FromAna]

Thought I'd have a fun read today so I chose: Funny thing is by Ellen

[Claire]

I just finished The History of Love and loved it. It was so good! I am starting The Catcher in the Rye now.

[Rosabelle]

I'm almost finished with the girl who played with fire.. hmm then it's the question of what to read next...

[Jenna]

Reading Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. I hope I enjoy this one as much as The Hunger Games.

[Milly]

I am currently reading Duma Key by Stephen King and just loving it!

[Sydney]

Just finished Diary and I am just now about to start The Pleasure of My Company: A Novel

I really enjoyed reading Chuck Palahniuk, so looks like I am going to have to read some others by him!! :)

Wow indeed! Have you read anything after Diary? I have Haunted, Rant and Snuff but haven't read them yet.
