Just starting The Power and the Glory for book club. So far, so good... I definitely enjoy Graham Greene's writing - it is about time I read some more by him!

So glad somebody read that last (Spirit)! Reread a number of times now, really get some deep thinking out of it. :)

I begun to read Lajja by Tasalima Nasarina I find the part I read so far is pretty sensitive. The novel follows a Hindu family living in Bangladesh in the early 90's Lajja (means shame) is a respond from Nasrin, who is auch a wonderful woman by the way, to anti-Hindu riots which erupted in parts of Bangladesh. The book subtly indicates that communal feelings were on the rise, the Hindu minority of Bangladesh was not fairly treated.

P.S. This was a banned book, I hope it's ok to talk about banned books at The Next Best Book Club. (I'm new to the group)

[Gabriella]

I'm reading Unsolved: True Canadian Cold Cases by Robert J. Hoshowsky and Beyond All Reason: My Life with Susan Smith Smith. Both books are very sad and engrossing.

[cazdoll]

I've just started

[Rebecca]

I have finished Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast. Robin McKinley This book is a true gem, and I would recomend it to anyone, of any age. 4 stars
Vampire, Interrupted Besides Thomas who's book I was disappointed with Maguerite was the one other character in Lyndsey Sands Argeneau novels that I most wanted to read about. The best yet 5 stars
Bloodsucking Fiends I was disappointed with fool but I thought i would give this book a try and was glad I did. 5 Stars
and I have started Wuthering Heights and Midnight Sun

[Flora]

I've finished the first book in Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Three Complete Novels of the Hainish Series in One Volume--Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile; City of Illusions and I like it ok.

I'm also just over 100 pgs into Kraken and it just keeps getting weirder.

To those who read The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. I read that novel a few years ago and found it very sad. I was kind of expecting something sad to happen, but the turn of events really surprised me.

I can suggest other novels about knitting, in case anyone is interested.

[[deleted user]]

Now I'm reading a mystery novel called Above Suspicion by Lynda La Plante.

[Natalie]

In the middle of The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag and really enjoying it .

Big fan of..."

It is amazing to me how many books he wrote that I'd never even heard of. I finished The Power and the Glory, though I recall liking The End of the Affair better - hopefully it won't take me 5 years to get back to Greene again!

For now, I am on to You Know When the Men Are Gone. So far, I am really impressed with this new author. I hadn't expected to like it as much as I have (I've heard only good things, but the subject matter didn't really grab me) - the writing is great and the stories pack a real emotional punch.

[Betsy]

Finished Angel Flight by Connelly which I enjoyed. I do like the Harry Bosch character and feel he is realistic blend of the good guy and the flawed character.

[Patricia]

I finished The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga which I thought was really good.

Now I'm going to start Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan.

[Scott]

I just finished The Dark Tower. What an epic story.

Now I'm going to read The Color of Magic.

[Jeane]

I finished a great book called Sphinxand now started the brick The First Man in Rome

[Maria]

i finished All He Ever Wanted from Anita Shreve. i wanted to like it more than I did, it disappointed me at the end.

i started The Other Family by Joanna Trollope today, it's pretty good so far.

[Madeline]

I've been out sick so I've been knocking out a few of my YA reads lying around my house. Poison Study, House of Many Ways, Fallen, and now I think either Fairest or Charlie Bone and the Hidden King. I'm not sure if I want boyish adventure or another love story. I've enjoyed all of them so far so I'm hoping to keep up the good reads streak :) .

[Alayna]

just started Fated by S.G. Browne

[Gabriella]

I am re-reading Chasing Down the Dawn by Jewel.

[Amy]

Ooh, Alayna, I'm going to have to pick Fated up now. I loved Breathers, so I'm curious what else he's written!

Susan, I've been meaning to read Moloka'i for years, I'm glad to hear you're liking it! I'll have to go dig out my copy...

[Beth]

I just finished Ya Yas in Bloom and found it to be a very fun, enjoyable read. For those who are looking for something light, this might be it.

[Flora]

Finished Worlds of Exile and Illusion: Three Complete Novels of the Hainish Series in One Volume--Rocannon's World; Planet of Exile; City of Illusions and ended up really liking this one. The last story, City of Illusions, made it all worthwhile.

I'm almst half way thru Kraken and not thrilled with it. Just hoping that maybe it will improve soon.

Just starting The Oracle of Stamboul and so far I really like it.

[Susanna]

Just finished Uncle Stephen's Insomnia . Just about to start The Great Gatsby.

[Allison]

I just finished The Killing Tree: A Novel by Rachel Keener. It was really good- I'd recommend it. Now I'm going to start The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

Fated and Breathers are both awesome. I think I may have like Fated a little more.

Ohh! Please let me know how The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is. I just recently finished The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and loved it. I'm eager to start the second and third, but needed to take a breather and read something short.

Anyways, I'm currently reading One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. I was desperately in need for a new series, and grabbed this. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.

[Krys]

I'm working through two nonfictions:

Earthly Remains and Bioarchaeology and Identity in the Americas

In fiction, I'm reading:

Maelstrom (First Reads win!) and Horizon Storms

Yep. I'm one of those people who likes to read multiple books at the same time. :o)

[Claire]

I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire - Stieg Larsson and am enjoying it just as much as the first.

[Leslie]

I just started David Grossman's To the End of the Land.

[Betsy]

Am almost through absolutely, positively by Webber. It's a super light chick-lit novel about a pyschic who runs a dating service.

[Patricia]

I finished Say You're One of Them by Uwem Akpan and am going to start Ape House by Sara Gruen.

[Tess]

Molokai was one of my favorites. Let me know what you think when you finish it

[Tess]

I read The Great Gatsby in HS, then later as an adult in a book club. I saw it in a very different light at a more mature age.

[Tess]

I am just finishing up Pillars of the Earth. I am absolutely loving it! I keep having to put it aside for other book club reading I need to get done. Who would have thought such a great book would come from the story of building a cathedral?

[Betsy]

Finished The Postmistress. I thought it was a gripping tale, with engaging characters.I liked the strong but diverse woman characters who created lives outside of role boundaries of 1940 America and Europe.The theme of truth and discretion were as relevant then as they are today.

I definitely agree.

[Fran]

Animals in Translation, by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson, fascinating.

[Flora]

I've put Kraken on hold for the moment. Maybe I'll get back to it and maybe I won't. Just getting started on Clockwork Angel and so far I like it better than the Mortal Instruments series.

[Karen]

UndoneI put this on hold for a bit while I read broken. It`s good as it explains Sarah Lintons life post Jeffrey.

[Paula]

I'm reading "The Mistletoe Murder" Leslie Meier. It's the first in her series but I've read "Trick or Treat Murders" which I liked and got me to go back and start from the beginning. : )
