[Paula]

I'm just starting "Goose in the Pond" Earlene Fowler. This is a fun cozy series and each title is the name of a quilt. Fowler gives a description at the beginning of each book of the quilt pattern.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

Angela--let me know what you think when you finish it! If you are anything like me..I devoured that book! :)

[Charity]

Just FYI...The Bell Jar remains one of my favorite books of all time and I get a sick thrill when I hear that anyone is picking it up. Enjoy! :-)

[Joanie]

Ashley, If you like Anybody Out There? You should check out Keyes' other books about the Walsh sisters Watermelon is first, then Rachel's Holiday, then Angels. Each book is about a different sister. It's funny how much she changed Anna's character when she got to AOT-I took me a good 1/2 the book to get over it actually.

I'm reading House of Leaves. Not freaked out yet but I'm only on Chapter 2.

[Melissa]

Jamie, it's not too bad. It's essays about a guy and his gal and how important music was to them. I don't know that it's what I was expecting at first, but it's been a good book and I've enjoyed it so far.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Just finished Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, by Susanna Clarke. Excellent!

I have no idea what I will read next, though. Still deciding.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

melissa--thanks! I'm hoping to start it soon. i hope that it's good because i have been building it up in my mind so much. haha.

[Laura]

Susanna! I've been reading that book for over a month (Jonathan Strange). Did it all come together and make more sense at the end?

[Melissa]

Jamie, lol, I did the same thing! I think that's why it's not what I expected -- though, I don't know what I was expecting. I hope to finish it in a few hours, so I'll keep you posted!

[[deleted user]]

i am re-reading twilight cause i absolutely love that series!!!!!!

[Ashley]

Joanie-Thanks, When I got AOT I didn't realize it was part of a series. Then others told me the same thing you did about Anna.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Laura - yes, I would say things come together at the end. It made sense to me, but I don't know about everyone else who has read it.

[Connie]

Just finished Blindness and am starting The Fountainhead.

[Kate]

I am reading "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men." I have been meaning to read it for some time, but since David Foster Wallace's tragic suicide, I decided it was time to stop putting it off.

I am finding the book of short stories both good and bad. When they are bad, I count pages until they are over. When they are good, I am totally absorbed.

I also picked up Infinite Jest at the library, but I will admit I am intimidated by it.

[Melody]

I am reading Eat Pray Love and am up to book 2 - India. Whilst I am enjoying the book, I have not fallen in love with it the way some readers have. But it is easy reading and I am intrigued to see how she comes out at the end.

[Lori, Super Mod]

Julianne, wow. thanks for the compliment. I tend to love what I love (duh) and love to hear that others love it too!! (love the love)

I have the two Koontz Frankenstiens here, havent gotten around to reading them yet. I like to get em all first... but who knows!

Lisa... I just picked up Shellys Frankenstien, so I would love to hear what you think as you go... you could email me, so we dont risk ruining it for others!!

Seth.... Great to see you around! Let me know how Strangers is.... Koontz is a huge hit or miss for me. I love Odd, and thought Life Expectancy and False Memory were ok.

[Kristina]

Jens Lapidus: Snabba Cash (it's taking me a rather long time to finish this one)
Harry Mulisch: The Assault

[Kellie]

Finished Sunset Express: An Elvis Cole Novel
by Robert Crais last night.
It was so good, I read until I finished last night.
This book is #6 in the Elvis Cole Series.

I started Landing It: My Life On And Off The Ice: My Life on and Off the Ice
I am a huge figure skating fan and couldn't wait to read this book. This guy was awesome in his day.

[Melissa]

Finished Love is a Mix Tape early this morning, so I'm planning on getting started up again with The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox.

[Petra X]

I'm just finishing Riddled with Life Friendly Worms Ladybug Sex and the Parasites That Make Us Who We Are and thinking I might start All Dressed in White about weddings in America.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

how was it Melissa?? :)


I just finished The October Country and just started Frankenstein.

[Isiah]

Just starting Dumas' The Three Musketeers and if it's on par with The Count of Monte Cristo I'll have another great classic to add to my shelves.

[Liz]

currently
"Dreamcatcher" by Stephen King and "The Lucky One" by Nicholas Sparks.

[Chloe]

I'm still plugging my way through Love in the Time of Cholera. It's an amazingly beautiful book that I've forced myself to slow down with so that I can savor it properly. I've also started reading The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism just to keep up my non-fiction kick.

[Emma]

Still reading Dracula. Ugh, almost finished though.

[Emma]

No kidding Fiona! It's just too slow, even in the exciting parts I'm bored.

[Linda]

Liz, I really liked Dreamcatcher. One of my favorites.

[Krista]

I'm slowing and tentatively proceeding through House of Leaves.

[Claire]

Hi, I've posted here a few times before but haven't posted in awhile. Anyway, I'm reading East of Eden right now and really liking it.

[Claire]

Yes, that is wierd! Are you enjoying it, Fiona? I think its great so far - I'm only on about page 250.

[Emma]

Just finished Dracula. I feel totally indifferent to the ending. Don't care. Boring. Blah.

[Heather]

Just finished reading The Secret Life of Bees. I started it about a year ago, and couldn't get into it, so I set it aside. Picked it up again on Sunday, finished it yesterday, and can't figure out why I couldn't get into it the first time I started!

I will probably read the second Artemis Fowl book (I'm a middle school reading teacher) next. Read the first one two weeks or so ago, and LOVED it! I was going to start it last night, but I just couldn't keep my eyes open.

Tomorrow night is my first meeting of the year for my book club at work. We read Green Grass Grace--if you live in or around Philly, this is a must read. :) The next book we are reading is Starvation Heights.

[Krista]

Congrats on the "big" finish (G)Emma. What's next?

[Laura]

Isiah, I just finished The Three Musketeers a couple weeks ago. I thought it was a lot sillier than The Count of Monte Cristo, which I loved, but a fast-paced and entertaining read nonetheless.

[Emma]

Thanks Iki! Interview with A Vampire, but I have to wait till Friday to go. :(

[Krista]

Oooh, I'm supposed to be reading Interview for the supernatural GR book club. I'm working through HOL so I don't think I'll be reading Interview this week, but soon, soon, soon.

[Jaime]

I also plan on reading Interview With a Vampire @ some point...but I still have Dracula after House of Leaves...I need more time to read.

[Emma]

Yeah, I know the feeling Jaime. We can discuss it when we're finished!

[Laura]

Let us know how Interview goes GEmma, I'm thinking about that one too. Just got book 2 of Gemma Doyle - but I think I may make myself finish some others first before starting it. Sorry you didn't like Dracula! :(

[Emma]

That's alright, it wasn't too too bad. I'm glad your looking forward to reading Rebel Angels!

[Laura]

Sure, thanks for the recommendation! Happy Thanksgiving, BTW.

[Melissa]

Jamie, Love is a Mix Tape was good. I'm glad that I read through it. It's funny in parts, definitely sad in parts. I really liked the final paragraph of the book -- he did a great job tying it all together. I mean, it is his true story, so I guess he would, lol. I hope you enjoy it, too.

[Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner)]

thanks! I'm anxious to read it now! haha darn schoolwork..i don't have time to start it!

[Emma]

Thanks Laura, the reccommendation was my pleasure. Belieevvveee me. :)

[Ann from S.C.]

I am now reading EMPIRE FALLS by Richard Russo and I am also reading THE BELL JAR by Sylvia Plath. I have wanted to read both of these for a while.

[Jaime]

Well I just finished Enchanted, Inc by Shanna Swendson - pretty funny. But now I want something a little scarier in honor of Halloween...I'm deciding between Lightening by Koontz, Frankenstein by Shelley or Nightshade by Saul - any opinions out there?

[Maureen]

Still reading Aztec. I'm not quite but almost 1/2 way through it. I've been reading some shorter books, too, so I can feel like I've accomplished something. :) I finished Letters from Pemberley (Jane Dawkins) and just started The Uncommon Reader (Alan Bennett) tonight.

(G)Emma, I felt the exact same way re: Dracula! The ending was so incredibly anti-climatic to me.

[Emma]

Exactly! Horrible ending, so boring in the description, not endearing at all!

[Suzanne]

I am almost finished The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros. After this, I'll probably read Zapped by Carol Higgins Clark.

[Jenna]

Heather,
Green Grass Grace was such a great book! It's definitely a must read for Philly folk. My dad actually knows the author. Pretty cool, I think. Do you know if he has written anything else?
