[Diane , Armchair Tour Guide]

I am currently reading The Plague by Albert Camus, and Jamilia by Chingiz Aitmatov, two books I have wanted to read for a long time.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Jane Casey last night. This morning, I began reading by Heather Gudenkauf.

[dely]

Finished Samuel Beckett and also a short read by an emergent Italian author, Sole nero.

I must turn back to Russian literature, I have withdrawal symptoms! So I started reading a collection of stories by Anton Chekhov.

[Mike]

I'm reading 1493, just finished 1491, State of Wonder & At Play in the Fields of the Lord. I like the Latin American author Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Heather Gudenkauf yesterday and now I'm about to start the 9th book in the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich.

[Kathlyn]

I rarely, if ever, abandon a book, but I've just abandoned The Bookseller of Kabul as truly awful! I'm now reading House of Leaves

[Heather]

Just started reading The Warmth of other suns - takes place in the south and then multiple locations in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles as many of the blacks in this country migrated from 1915-1970 from the south to the north and other areas of the country. Highly recommend

[Issie]

In the middle of Deadwood by Pete Dexter. So it is world and time travel into the Wild West. Never read a western before.

[Mark]

Just started The Political Economy of Russia. The copyright date is 2013, but the publisher sent me three, so....? *shrugs*

[Kathlyn]

Heather, I just bought The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration to read. Good to hear your recommendation :)

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished the 9th book in the Stephanie Plum series (and the best one so far) by Janet Evanovich.

Now I'm reading by Donald McCaig. It's Gone With the Wind from Rhett Butler's point of view.

I thought To the Nines was one of her best, too. My favorite, I think, is Twelve Sharp.

[mussolet]

I just made my list of what to read. And I'm not following it at all, reading The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair that Changed America. A lot of people have told me that it is good, so I want to check for myself :).

[Aoibhínn]

I finished by Donald McCaig earlier today and now I'm about to start by Diane Chamberlain.

[Diane , Armchair Tour Guide]

I started The Dogs of Riga by Henning Mankell today, and I can't put it down! This is the first book of his that I have read. I look forward to reading more of his books.

[Dee]

I really liked that one Diane - the first one in the series was only ok...but I really liked Riga

[Issie]

Dear Diana, I loved this one too and I have such a nice remembrance of it: When starting reading it I was so riveted to the story that I missed a train, took the wrong one, travelled to a wrong town, saw a foreign christmas market, and when getting home at last half a day late finished the book.

[dely]

I have finished the collection of stories by Chekhov and now I will read Quiet Flows the Don by Mikhail Sholokhov.
I am always in Russia but I like it!

I love Russian literature, too. There are so many books I want to read by Russian authors.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Diane Chamberlain just a few minutes ago. Next I plan to read by John Steinbeck.

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished reading by John Steinbeck. Today I've started reading by Jay Asher.

[Melissa]

currently i a halfway through the fry chronicles by stephen fry, i have been wanting to read this for a while but study kept getting in my way. this book is a memoir, its funny and intelligent, much like the author.

[[deleted user]]

Just finished Coincidences by Maria Saava. It's very good. Now I'm reading Pao by Kerry Young. It's about a Chinese man in Jamaica.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler earlier today. It's just an young adult romance but it's very entertaining and funny. I loved all the 1990's nostalgia!

Next I'm going to start reading a Stephanie Plum book: by Janet Evanovich.

[Randy]

I'm reading The Bloodletter's DaughterI love the 17th century, and their awakening to science, gender, and religion. This first-time-published novelist is one to watch.

[Aoibhínn]

Yesterday I finished by Janet Evanovich. It's the tenth novel in the Stephanie Plum series. This novel had a far more serious and darker tone than the other books. It was a gripping and exciting read with an excellent plot and great characters.

Right now, I'm a couple of chapters into by Ian Serraillier. This is a re-read. I first read in when I was in school. I remember liking it but I don't remember much about the plot.

[Aoibhínn]

I managed to finished reading by Ian Serraillier this morning. Now I'm reading by Nicholas Sparks.

Leaving AtlantaI'm reading LEAVING ATLANTA by TAYARI JONES.

Trying to read Les Misérables by Victor Hugo

It's so LONG!! But I'm already read 1/3 of the book, so there's a change that I will finish it some day.

It is VERY long, but so worth it. It is one of my all-time favorite books.

[Aoibhínn]

I finished reading by Nicholas Sparks a few hours ago. Now I'm about to start reading by John Grisham. It's the october monthly read in a Goodreads group I'm in and I want to get a head start on it.

[Aoibhínn]

I've finished reading by John Grisham last night and this morning I've started by Christopher Ransom.

[dely]

I am still reading the epic of the Don by Mikhail Sholokhov.
I have read volume 1 and 2 and now I have still to read volume 3 and 4.
It is really a wonderful book and I suggest it to everybody interested in Russian history. I have read till now about WWI and the October Revolution but from the point of view of the Cossacks so it is different from the other historical books full of dates and famous names. Here we live it from the point of view of ordinary soldiers, torn away from their land in order to go to fight. Everything is so human and real and Sholokhov is a neutral observer, you can't sympathize for one side or the other, both are wrong and right and both sides kill for their ideals. Wonderful!

[Melissa]

i just started the second bookWinter of the World last night...i really enjoyed the first bookFall of Giants. it crosses between, Germany, Russia, England, Wales and USA.

[Ian]

Reading - really good crime mystery set in contemporary Zimbabwe and dealing with religious cults.

[[deleted user]]

I really want to read The House of Riverton. I'm still reading Tidewater Inn by COLLEEN COBLE.It takes place in Va. Beach on Hope Beach.

I need to make a list of the books your reading.

Annina - there are a bunch of us doing a read a long of Les Mis currently if you are interested - let me know - we are reading the second book right now. The goal is to have it finished by Dec 1 in time for the movie

[Dee]

almost done with Weeding the Flowerbeds - its been a struggle - its an interesting story, but it needs a good editor...there are content issues (one min she is doing push-ups, then doing sit-ups, then back to doing push-ups - all supposedly the same exercise) and a lot of redundancy - but an interesting look at a boarding school in Swaziland

They're making another movie of it? I liked the one with Liam Neeson and Uma Thurman from a dozen years or so ago. I read the book for the first time last year during a week at the beach. I pictured all the characters from the movie when I read it. It is one of my all time favorites.

[Dee]

Yep - it comes out in December has Russell Crowe unit I think...Anna karenina also comes out in november
