Enjoy! Pat Conroy is probably my favorite author.

My current Kindle book is Swamplandia! by Karen Russell (I generally read my Kindle while working out on my stationary bike). It's good, but perhaps not as great as I'd been hoping. I'm still early in the book, so we'll see how it goes...

I hope to start (and finish!) The Scrapbook of Frankie Pratt: A Novel in Pictures by Caroline Preston this weekend. I love the 1920s setting and the unique structure of the book.

Okay, finished it, loved it! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was the "current" time period ending I think could have better but loved it until that moment and like I said, almost got 5 stars.

Tears of the Giraffe by Alexander McCall Smith

[Kayden]

Just finished one, will be looking for something new to start tonight. I love looking for my next book to read!

[Jennifer]

I've read a couple of plays by Galsworthy in the last few days. One was called The Eldest Son: A Domestic Drama in Three Acts which was your typical "son of the estate knocks up the maid" story with the most interesting thing about it being the reaction of his father, who was also dealing with a similar situation between one of his employees and a town girl. It was so-so. The other, Hall-Marked, I liked better because it was a pretty blatant damnation of the class of people who value appearance over character-- so blatant it was comic, particularly since the ones doing the damning were not only shallow but incompetent.

I think one of the things I like best about Galsworthy (and it's evident in both these plays) is that his personal history made him sensitive to the costs of social appearance, conformity and approval. It's a theme he explored in a variety of ways throughout his career.

Oh, good- I thought it was just me! :-)

Today I finished Wings of Fire and The Weight of Silence. Both were excellent. I've now met my 2011 Reading Challenge goal of 40 books!

[Krista]

This has nothing to do with my current reads, but I wanted to comment on a few of others' reads.

There were parts of Water for Elephants that were very difficult to get through. I did the book in audio, though, and greatly enjoyed it.

A Discovery of Witches is one of my favorite new books! I loved this jewel from beginning to end; and after finishing the read, I immediately started the audio. Loved, loved, loved and can't wait for the next one!

[Michael]

I just finished , one of my favorite books I read in awhile. I love the characters, disliked a few of them, but the author has a way of you relating to them in some way.

I am about to begin ,previously a fan of her other books, I have HIGH expectations on this!

[Celeste]

I haven't been active in a while, but I have been reading. I'm currently reading. The Paris Wife which was last months book club read. I'm enjoying it okay, but I find parts of it a little dry. Next, would be The Elegance of the Hedgehog which I'm listening to going back and forth to work. I'm heading into the second of three parts. Again okay, but I don't think I'll be giving it 5 stars at the end of the day. Than there's Holmes on the Range, this one is different than a lot of things I read, but I an really am enjoying it. That's about it at the moment. I have a few things started and on my night table, but not actively being read right now. Glad I'm back.

Yes, I had the same feelings (also listen to audio book) The Elegance of the Hedgehog, some places are OK, but some really too much philosophy annoy me. Compare to other books that I like, I gave two and half stars only (two was only allowed)

[Yuliya]

Interesting coincidences are happening in random sequences of book what I recently have listen to. Just recently I listened to The Painted Veil by W. Somerset Maugham and now I picked up The Piano Teacher by Janice Y.K. Lee and the setting of books (China and European and American communities working and living there). I think the writer of Piano Teacher has some inspiration from Maugham.I loved reading of both books. I have never been in China, but this oriental environment in books and what and how people from different cultures adapted in that – magnetize me. And I’m also just start reading right now Kafka on the Shore byHaruki Murakami and part of both books (The piano teacher and Kafka on the shore) set during word war II and in the first book Japans are enemies and occupations in the second books (with Japan writer) is the view from the other side of war participants. All books I picked up random, but they surprisingly connected

[Flora]

I've just started The Maze Runner. I'm not far into it but its interesting so far.
