The girl with the dragon tattoo by steig larsson

[dely]

I started reading Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier for my novel cure challenge. This books should help for low self-esteem.

I saw only later that this book won the poll for the june group read. I must read it now because I have borrowed it from the library but I think that in june I will take part to the discussion because I will still remember the events of the book.

I heard its the book the recent superhit malayalam movie drishyam a mohanlal starrer is based on.Have it on my kindle. Looking forward to reading it.

Just finished Duty to the dead by Charles Todd.It seemed a bit dark to call it a cozy mystery.
also Cloche and dagger by Jenn mckinlay. it was an enjoyable cozy but nowhere in the league of Agatha Christie.
Now reading James Pattersons Suzannes diary for nicholas. seems to be a romantic drama.enjoyed so far.

[Ahtims]

Am now reading ' devotion of suspect x'. So far so good

[Rebecca]

Finished Suzannes diary for Nicholas by James Patterson. A mushy romantic read. Enjoyed. Now onto the last Chinese chef by Nicole mones. Loving it.

[Ahtims]

I too liked the Last Chinese Chef. It is interspersed with lots of foodie details.

[Lakshmi]

Currently reading All The Names by Saramago

[Rebecca]

I love anything related to food. Loved the movies Julie and Julia and ratatouille. But I am reading a story with food as the most important character for the first time. Am so glad I started on the last Chinese chef.

[Ahtims]

Wonder was a real wonder..

[Lakshmi]

Just finished A walk to remember by Nicholas Sparks. Currently reading One hundred years of solitude by Marquez:-)

[Lakshmi]

@Srividya Midnight's children was an amazing book. One of the best books I have ever read:-)

[Ahtims]

One hundred years was a very confusing book for me. Read it fully only coz of my stubborn decision to complete it as it was the part of a group discussion here

[Lakshmi]

oh I know, many people find it frustrating. But i know many other people who found this book extraordinarily beautiful...so lemme find out which category i belong to.:-)

[Misha]

currently reading Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

[Lakshmi]

@Misha Hope you like it:)

[Srividya]

@Lakshmi - am liking Midnight's Children but finding it a tad slow.. but then I have read another book of Rushdie so know by now that this is his style.. :)

[Misha]

@Sri, Lakshmi... the writing is beautiful... :-)

[Lakshmi]

Yep its beautiful :)

[Uday]

Okay, I'm ashamed to admit this but I gave up on Midnight's Children after reading 30 or so pages. I dunno, the book just didn't interest me that much and there was too much mumbo jumbo which just didn't get into my head. This was of course almost 6 years ago and now I feel that I didn't give this book its due. Should pick this up soon...

[Ahtims]

Same here

[Lakshmi]

Currently reading Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami :)

[Ahtims]

I loved Kafka :D

[Srividya]

I just finished reading Kafka last month and loved it :) :) Hope you're enjoying it Lakshmi :)

@Uday - I totally agree with you.. Read about 30 pages or so and it did not make much sense but kept plodding on as I did not want to really give up. And even though the writing is a little scattered for my taste, I am still intrigued enough to go on with it.

Am also re-reading David Copperfield in between, when Midnight's Children gets to be too much.. and enjoying that very much. Almost 40% into the book and I must say Dickens is as marvellous and captivating to me today as he was when I first read him in school... A veritable treat :)

[Lakshmi]

@Smitha n Srividya...yes I am liking it so far:-)

[Uday]

David Copperfield...that's on my to-read list too! Last night, I really wanted to start reading a mystery. It just felt like it'd been too long since I read a good mystery, so I decided to read Shutter Island. Pretty eerie, so far!

[Ahtims]

Shutter Island is supposed to be very good. Its in my to-read list

[Srividya]

I also have Shutter Island on my to read list.. hope to get to it soon.

[Misha]

Shutter island was fabulous, mind blowing!!!
