[Jen]

I finished reading A Northern Light a couple nights ago. I think I'm going to start The Lost Girls: Three Friends. Four Continents. One Unconventional Detour Around the World next.

[Kelsey]

currently reading for school:
Don Quixote
Rhinoceros
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
and War and Peace but this one is over the whole semester.

And for fun I'm reading Starting Out in the Evening by Brian morton--almost done with this one, I really enjoyed it so far!

so yeah, I'm taking three courses that are heavy on lit so I've got just what I want :)

[Nicole]

Just finished El Burlador De Sevilla (The Trickster of Seville), the classic 17th century Spanish play that the character Don Juan comes from.

[Christie]

Kelsey, is Don Quixote spread out too? I think it's a little bit long...

[Kimberly]

I just bought Neverwhere, excited to start it. Anyone else read it?

[Beth]

Just finished Black Hole Sun a few days ago. I just started Wither last night, but I'm already almost at the end! I'm already scheming about getting Fever...

[Justin]

I'm reading Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton. Very good :)

[Katelyn]

Just finished . Now reading , -for a r2r and .

[Jacqueline]

I just finished Mockingjay, now I am reading Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress

[Jen]

I've recently finished reading Trafficked and Purple Hibiscus. Currently reading The Night Circus.

[Christie]

Haha, Jacqueline, I'm the opposite! I've read Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, but not Mockingjay (soon!). Let me know what you think of the book when you're finished with it.

[Jacqueline]

I will Christie :) so far I like it. Have you read any of the Hunger Games books? They are pretty good.

[Christie]

I just read the Hunger Games. It was so hard to put down that I read it all within 24 hours. Hopefully I'll get more sleep when I read the next one. :) haha

[Rayna]

I just finished Red Rose of Anjou in my saga of English history, as well as Sexing the Cherry. I read Oranges are Not the Only Fruit a few weeks ago. I think Winterson has something about fruit...

Ha ha, no you won't. I found the other two 10x more addicting than the first one. :)

[Marissa]

finished We Need to Talk About Kevin, gonna go back and read David Copperfield. Also, normally books are better than movies, but i found the movie and book for we need to talk about kevin equally good.

[Christie]

Oh no! Or should I say, oh yes! :D I better wait until I know I have the time to get addicted though. Ahh, the anticiption is too much!

[Christie]

Oh and thanks for your honesty, Jacqueline. Appreciate it. ;)

[Christie]

Hey, Marissa. I was just thinking about the relationship between books and movie adaptations today (and how usually book > movie by a long shot). Book = movie is certainly a rarity!

[Jessica]

I just finished reading . It was a really great book. I highly recommend it. :-)

I am now reading . So far it's good...haven't quite learned what made the two girls become rivals yet, but I'm wanting to know.

[Nicole]

I've finished
A Miracle, A Universe: Settling Accounts with Torturers
El Nuevo Mundo Descubierto Por Cristobal Colon: Una Comedia en Tres Actos = The New World Discovered by Christopher Columbus
La Traicion En La Amistad

A Miracle, A Universe was an amazing book by a journalist from the New Yorker who spent a lot of time in Brazil and Uruguay interviewing people and researching the military dictatorships in those countries and their aftermath. It's not an easy read but it's worth it.

I've almost finished Utilitarianism and am waiting for the semester to end so I can finally have time to get back to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

[Rayna]

I just finished Girl, Interrupted and The Free World: A Novel and I'm halfway through Ragtime right now. I'm also re-reading A Game of Thrones since it's been so long since I had to stop midway through A Clash of Kings that I figured it was easier to just start the whole series over again.

[Sarah]

I'm doing a lot of reading for classes, but in my free time I am reading http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15... and I just finished The Hunger Games. Frankly, I was unimpressed and I do not plan on reading the other two.

[Jacqueline]

I just finished Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress and started on The Club Dumas. I am also working on Eat Thunder & Drink Rain: Poems.

[Samantha]

I am currently reading Crisis on Infinite Earths. Over the past few months I have really jumped into the world of comic books especially DC. Batman is a favorite of mine, but I am trying to see what the other Superheroes have to offer. So far this graphic novel is a bit slow and hasn't really grabbed my attention. I am, however, learning about a bunch of smaller heroes that I normally would not have known without reading this graphic novel.

[Kimberly]

I am almost done with which I hope to use for my upcoming research project next semester.

[Jacqueline]

I finished Eat Thunder & Drink Rain: Poems, not as good as I hoped. I am now reading A Discovery of Witches along with The Club Dumas.

[Niel]

Started and

[Tami]

I just finished The Woman at the Light: A Novel by Joanna Brady. It was a GoodReads win and I really enjoyed it. Historical fiction set in the Florida Keys. Not your normal setting for historical fiction.

Now started my next win, Finding the Perfect Wave, Part One by Cheri H. Miklich. Not far enough in to have an opinion yet.

[Beth]

Just finished and . I really liked Solace of the Road, but Stolen not that great. I'm currently reading and

[Kayla]

I am currently reading it's ok, I just feel like it needs a little bit more action.

[Kelly]

I'm currently trying to read Aurelia and The Knife of Never Letting Go. Both really good so far!

[Sonja]

I finished Stiff and Persepolis 2 over the weekend and now I'm reading Crocodile on the Sandbank. I just started the book but I'm getting the feeling that I will be quickly sucked into the Amelia Peabody series. :)

[Ashley]

After a long reading hiatus during exams, I just started reading A Foreign Affair. I'm not sure if I like it yet or not, we'll see.

[Sonja]

I've finished Crocodile on the Sandbank and The Spellman Files as of this morning. Anxious to get back to my pile of library books at home to take advantage of the tear I'm on. :)

[Sheree Bonita]

I just finished Insurgent and now I'm reading The Canning Season as well as finishing up Swann's Way.

[Tami]

I just finished The Union Quilters: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel by Jennifer Chiaverini. Another Goodreads win, and I really liked it. Historical fiction set during the civil war, but from the Union not the Confederacy.

Just started the next one, Pocket Kings by Ted Heller and am just about 5 pages in. No opinion yet.

[Lindsay]

Just finished The Fault in Our Stars and Legend of Drizzt, book #2.

Now reading: LOTR Fellowship of the Rings and Legend of Drizzt, book #3.

[Nicole]

FINALLY got to finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo since I got home for summer break a few days ago. It was fantastic. Probably going to start Catching Fire next.

[Sarah]

I'm currently reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carré and fulfilling my unquenchable thirst for nonfiction with Henry Kissinger's On China. Both are keeping my mind stimulated during a summer of monotonous jobs.

I'm really interested in starting On China. How are you finding it?

I just started reading Stray Bullets and A Game of Thrones. I'm hoping that they're entertaining.

Ashley, I love it. It presents a completely different view of the Cold War and Chinese history than what has been presented in the classroom. I find Kissinger's writing engaging as well. I personally find Henry Kissinger and his policies distasteful, and a lot of his opinions are presented without much to back them up, but this is true of any history text so it's easy to weed out the unnecessary things. The paperback version is finally out (and it's much cheaper than the hardcover!) Good luck and let me know how you find it! :)

[Niel]

I have started reading , so far living up to the Dirk Pitt series

[Tasha]

I've just finished Bleeding Violet

and am now reading Beautiful Chaos

[Sara]

I just finished The Mockingbirds

[Sarah]

Just finished Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and loved it! Has anyone seen the (fairly) recent film starring Gary Oldman?

Thanks for information! It sounds like we're on pretty similar pages when it comes to Kissinger so it's good to hear that it's still an engaging book.

I just finished So Much Pretty and I'm starting Becoming which is interesting enough so far.
