I love that book with all of my heart. It's one of the best books I have ever read. I am trying to get someone to go see the movie with me so I don't have to go alone.

Cait wrote: "Today I'm starting Persuasion. I have high hopes."

I really enjoyed it. I found it to be both more mature and more emotional than Pride and Prejudice. I hope you like it. :)

[Kaion]

Am still stalled in both A Room of One's Own and America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction. Maybe I need to read something fun and palate-cleansing?

[Ruby]

Two of my top three favorite writers of all time are Rudyard Kipling and Lucy Maud Montgomery. I try to make everyone read Kim, but the short stories and the poetry are the best things he did. The trouble is that there isn't a comprehensive short story collection. Every one in print leaves out several of my favorites. :( At least I have
Rudyard Kipling: Complete Verse.

[El]

Ruby, I did wind up enjoying Kim, but it did take a while. I finished that yesterday and have moved on to Kipling's The Day's Work. I haven't even finished the first story yet, but from what I gathered from the Introduction I think this one will definitely interest me.

I'm glad to hear you liked it so much. It's definitely an interesting concept. I've been meaning to read it for a while and once I realized the movie was coming out I figured I'd better get to it. I always prefer to read the book before seeing the film. Good luck finding someone to go with you.

[Kristin]

I am reading and now.

[Michelle]

I held out on Catching Fire until Mockingjay came out and have now raced through Catching Fire and am about halfway through Mockinjay.

I'm also partway through Beat the Reaper, which I know got raves but I somehow just can't get into very well.

[Esther]

I've just finished Once Bitten Alexa O’Brien Huntress 1. It was not bad but I didn't love it.

[Flora]

Down to the last 100 pgs of The Blind Assassin I'm begining to think this book will never end.

Patricia, I read Alice while I was on a very long holiday in Italy and would be reading a book of 800 pages in one week. This book however (which my boyfriend thought I would like) took me almost a month because I really didn't like it and thought it was pretty stupid. I dragged myself through it and it isn't even long.

[Jeane]

After finishing The Scarpetta Factor and The Brave I am still continuing the brick India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracyand the getting more enjoyable Sense and Sensibility. Will start Inkdeaththis evening.

I just found Room on here the other day, i've never heard of it before but I defiantly want to read it. Everyone's been saying good things about it.

[Flora]

Finally finished The Blind Assassin, I was begining to think the book never ended.

I'm moving on to The Black Cat as well as The Dracula Dossier: A Novel of Suspense

[Emilly R]

I am currently reading PAULO COELHO'THE ALCHEMIST'.I have been waiting with anticipation to read this book ,finally i was able to purchase together with many others.

[Flávia Carvalho]

I am reading Freakonomics - and hardly believing it!

[Emilly R]

My next book to read after THE ALCHEMIST it is THE STONE DIARIES BY CAROL SHEILDS another lucky find

[Sasha]

Yeah, Freakonomics is a ton of fun to read.

[Ruby]

read Ginger Pye and it was so terrible I had to go back and read the entire Melendy Family series by Elizabeth Enright to make sure that real, well-crafted children's literature actually exists.

Hope you like it. I looked forward reading it for years, then read it and though it wasn't bad it wasn't THAT good either.

[Emilly R]

I know the feeling about having a book on the shelf and not been interest at all,i got Maeve Binchy-London Transport one of this days i will read, if God is my witness

I read this one not too long ago. I hope you like it better than I did.

[Paula]

I was talking to a person running a coffee shop at a doctor complex today while waiting for my daughter. We were talking about books because I had one with me and she had one on the counter. She had also read "Racing in the Rain" and loved it also. The hour I waited for my daughter went by very quickly!

[Marti]

Thanks for all the kudos for Racing in the Rain. It is a book I need to read for the November read in one of my book clubs. I am now looking forward to reading it!

[Madeline]

I loved Freakanomics! My favorite was the section on names.

[Kristin]

Marti - I have a feeling you'll love the book also, I don't think i've seen anyone write anything bad about it.
I will say that some of the chapters I thought were a bit boring, but they're so short that it doesn't even matter.

[Regan]

I am currenty reading, The Ode Less Travelled, Frankenstein, Bless Me, Ultima, and The House of Spirits, which I am loving and should be done with tonight :D

[Sasha]

Catie, I have that noted. I'll make a double feature of it. Thanks!

I loved Never Let You Go as well, and am dubious that the movie can work. And I agree, it's something best read with no idea what you're getting into.

[Sasha]

I always comment on other peoples' books but forget to mention what I'm reading. I'm reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which seems appropriate since it's Banned Book Week. It's monumentally good.

[Kristin]

I just finished , I started the other night before bed and made it 20 pages in.. I think I am going to try to breeze through this one quick before I start any others.

[Marti]

I really like the Year of the Flood the best of the two...

[Maria]

i finished Grave Goods from Arianna Franklin. i like this series, and this one didn't disappoint.

[Emilly R]

I read the The year of The Flood too by Eduardo Mendoza,it is a great book

[Patricia]

I finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro last night. What an interesting novel. Very sad & disturbing but also very unique & well written. I'm curious to see how it'll translate into a movie.

I now moved on to Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving. I'm a huge John Irving fan so I'm psyched to finally get to his newest one.

Thanks Stephanie.. Now i want to go and buy the first book :)

[Janny]

Next read for our book club is The Art of Racing in the Rain - which I look forward to very much, having heard great things about it.

[Rosabelle]

Just finished reading The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger... Phew.... Now i'm reading The Enemy by Lee Child. Only a few pages in, but looks like I will enjoy this book

Two awesome books in a row! I don't think you'll be disappointed with Irving's latest. :o)

[Paula]

I'm reading "A Twisted Ladder" Rhodi Hawk . I'm not very far into it yet but it's promising so far.

[Gitte]

You didn't like The Catcher in the Rye? I've read it twice and really enjoyed it both times.

[Nawar]

I'm reading Diary by Chuck Pahlaniuk, I just started it and I can't decide if it's any good yet.

Not Kristin, but I personally loved The Society of S. I thought it was a very unique spin on modern-day vampires. This is coming from someone who hasn't really liked any vampire stories she's read, but this one.

I finished A City of Ghosts: Stories and I thought that it was just okay. A couple of the stories in here were creepy, but for the most part, I was a bit underwhelmed. I've just started Firefly Lane and I'm really liking it so far.

[Leslie T.]

I just finished The Picture of Dorian Gray (blah) and started Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I need to move some more books to my iPod Touch because I'm about out of options.

My best friend LOVED the book and wouldn't stop talking about it, I was going to buy it at the book store full price a few months back but ended up finding it for a dollar at goodwill.
I liked it, I am very glad that I didn't run out and pay full price for it when she told me about it. I found the beginning boring. The ending for me was the best part.. it got better towards the end. and I do agree with Alisha it is a nice modern twist on vampires.. no glittering or anything stupid like that LOL.

Usually I find myself liking a lot of the books that everyone else does, but this one was iffy.. maybe I just wasnt in the right mind-set for it.. coming off of 15 Stephanie Plum books...

look at all the Blindness love! I am so happy people are reading Jose Saramago (rip)

[Lori, Super Mod]

And lots of love for ROOm too! That book was amazing, wasn't it? Have you heard Emma Donaghue talk about the book on NPR? if not, here's the link:http://n.pr/cC8SoY

I have finished David Moody's sequel to Hater - Dog Blood. I favor Hater slightly, but that is the case with all book series for me. A great new monster lit series, though. Watch out Zombies and Vamps, Haters are coming to take your place!

[Ann from S.C.]

I finally finshed THE CONCUBINES DAUGHTER by Pai Kit Fai and gave it 3 stars. Now am reading BLACK WAVE by John and Jane Silverwood.
