No - just the two, and they are kind of unrelated as they are set 100 years or so apart. They are quite big books though.

An amazing series if you have not already read it is the A Song of Ice and fire series (started with A Game of Thrones). Not yet complete. This is my favourite series of books by far.

[Amara]

I just finished The Grapes of Wrath. I should have read it much sooner, it was breathtaking!

I am reading right now. Finished reading yesterday.

[Mayra]

Les Miserables scares me its so big lol... i dunno if i could get through it, how are u liking it?

what did u think of Memoirs of a Geisha? i liked it.

[Andreea]

i loved the Memoires of a gheisa...i think it was absolutely fascinating ..i also liked the movie too....

[Mayra]

yeah i saw the movie after i read the book

[Navaneeta]

I liked Memoirs of a Geisha. It was an easy read. Les Miserables scares me too but I have decided it's high time I am done with it. I am liking the characters and there are gems amidst all those winding philosophical passages. But too much of YA exposure has spoilt me and I am having a difficult time. Very. :(

[Mayra]

sounds like i'd have the same problem... :p

[Vikas]

i m halfway through "Of mice and men"...

[abuzade]

Finished "Animal Farm". Felt so sorry for Boxer :-(

I'm reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

[Stephanie]

I am reading Next by Micheal Crichton. I absolutely love his books.

That was a really great book! I read it for my American Literature class.

Loved that book when I read it last year, another one which i had put of reading for years, and then loved it when i did read it.

[Vikas]

just finished "Tell me your dreams" by sidney sheldon...very captivating just like other sheldon books....

[Vikas]

Hi trevor...indeed its a must read for everyone....

[Shmuli]

I am reading The Picture of Dorian Gray. I am about a third of the way through. So far it is a sarcastic and ironic mix of puritanical 19 century London combined with cheap witticisms about the theory of love. I haven't made p my mind yet whether I like this book or not, certainly the writing is delicious and funny. It's the plot and characters which I find somewhat pathetic. Maybe that's what Zoscar had in mind. I'm not sure. Let's wait until the end.

I thought the same for the first two thirds of the story, but then it got much better and I was satisfied with this read.

[Shmuli]

I just finished it tonight (well this early morning). The story was beautifully constructed, the language witty and virulent and the characters hopelessly like able. I lived it! It got better and better.
I read it with a lit guide next to me which helped immensely. The themes are complex and quite convoluted in their theory.
I'm very proud of myself in reading such a classic so easily. Great book. Thoroughly deserving if its claim as a top 50 book.

[Rebecca]

I'm reading and :)

[Vikas]

just started "the girl who played with fire"...

[Mayra]

[Shmuli]

I am reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night. I decided to read it cause it's on the Goodreads top 50. Easy to read, sweet and sad. About 2/3 way through. Don't know if it's a top 50 though. Narration is clever but lacks many characteristics which make a book a masterpiece.

I agree, its a good book, but not a masterpiece

[Shmuli]

Time to tackle Lolita. I'm apprehensive, a little nervous, somewhat afraid and wonder whether I have to cover the book up on the train?
