People have told me that listening to the Ulysses audiobook is better..I haven't read or listened to it yet though...so I don't know for sure.

I can't seem to get into it either. I am reading it very slowly. I think maybe it will take longer than one month. I usually read books pretty fast, but this one is different.

[Amanda]

I just don't like audiobooks, but that's a good suggestion.

[Mandee]

I am currently reading Rose in Bloom. It is very good but a little slower than the first. :)

[Amanda]

The Hobbit!

[Katrina]

I'm reading Emma by Jane Austen. Was in the mood for some Austen and I'd never read it so I picked it up instead of reading Pride and Prejudice again.

[M]

I'm reading Patricia Briggs series about Mercy Thompson that starts with "Moon Called".

[Lily]

I'm reading now The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank) and a French book about the author's need to list everything and anything he experienced in his life.
Both quite interesting actually

[Kristin]

I finished Wuthering Heights....a wonderful 1943 edition that had the text in columns versus all the way across the page. Just getting started with "Robinson Crusoe"....have now crossed 4 books off the list! :)

[Mayra]

good job kristin :) im reading the subtle knife, 2nd book in his dark material trilogy :)

[Mandee]

I just finished Death comes to Pemberly and the undomesticated Goddess. I am currently reading books can be deceiving and first impressions

.

[Brian]

Just finished Laughter in the Dark, Nabokov. Pales in comparison to Pale Fire, but everything he writes is good.

[Şule]

for the first time I'm reading a book of Orhan Pamuk: The Black Book.

[Kristin]

Finished "Robinson Crusoe" and took a break from the list to read "50 Shades of Grey"! :) Next book from the list will be "Jane Eyre"....

Hi Amanda. You probably know that Peter Jackson is directing the film version, which I believe is due out at the end of the year (yay!). I read bits and pieces of this wonderful book year-round in the course of my tutoring practice; and I'm reading Fellowship Of The Rings for my own sake right now. *

I thought I'd encountered an advanced alien life form when I noticed a girl in my twelfth grade English class reading Ulysses ...

[Brian]

Just finished Chekhov's The Duel. He's the master. Next up, May Day by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Trying to read every novella I can get my hands on. Suggestions?

Hi Lynn. Novellas ... hm, excellent portion size. Tasty, but not too filling. I love The Ballad of the Sad Cafe by Carson McCullers. Only about 65 pages. Beautiful and dreamlike. Enjoy.

[Kristin]

I finished "50 Shades of Grey", then sped through Harlan Coben's "No Second Chance." Now back to the classics....I'm about 60 pages into Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations" and I'm hoping that it gets better, because I'm not that excited about it yet.

museum of innocence by orhan pamuk

[E]

I just finished 'Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime' and just started reading 'One flew over the cuckoo's nest'

[Hilary]

I'm reading Falling Off the Earth by Pico Iyer, its a collection of essays about "Lonely Places" of the world and so far its great!

[Dizzilizzi12]

I'm so excited I've never been in a book group before! I just joined the group and I've read several of the books on this lists already, I'm currently reading Life of Pi, I really love it so far. Pi has a really unusual and interesting perspective on religion. It makes all the religious fighting that goes on in the world seem rather ridiculous.

[Helen]

I just started The Canterbury Tales. Has anyone else read it yet?

It was a challenge even picking which edition of the book to read. I would have liked to read it in ye olde English, but having to look up the translations was time consuming (not helped when they give you a translation once or twice and then expect you to remember it!) and spoilt the rhythm of the poetry.

So, as I am not an English Lit student and have no wish to learn Middle English, I have decided to read a translation in modern verse to get the fun and meaning of the tales, and then review the Middle English version to compare the language.

It's slow going, as I'm effectively reading it twice, but I'm enjoying the tales. The Miller's Tale is dirty!

[Denisse]

I'm currently reading "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel.

franny and zoey by salinger.

[[deleted user]]

I am reading Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson and The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper (the last one is for school). Oh! And I'm reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, again. I'm hoping to get around to Uncle Tom's Cabin, Dracula, and The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton sometime soon

[Kevin]

I am reading Patrick O'Brian's "Master and Commander." After having watched the movie a good 20 times I decided to dive into the books, they are a great read. Better than the movie.
