Reading the memoir The Autumn Balloon by Kenny Porpora and just finished The Various Haunts of Men by Susan Hill.

[Kim]

I just finished The Day of the Triffids. I loved it. A little campy(but it is a 50's Sci-Fi novel). Quick read that makes you examine your moral compass. Will especially resonate with people who grew up during The Cold War and Space Wars.

A good book. It led me to read a bit more Wyndham - Chocky and The Chrysalids. Working my way towards The Midwich Cuckoos.

[Isabel]

I'm about to finish "the clocks" by Agatha Christie :)

[Ken]

Paper Towns by John Green, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan, and The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway.

[Buck]

I'm prompted to post this because of our current discussions of the Harper Lee novels. I just got from my library, through an Inter-Library Loan, Mockingbird by Walter Tevis.

[Kim]

Buck, I have heard Wyndham's other books were the even better. I'm adding them to my to read list. :0)

Maybe that's why It resonates with me. It hadn't even occurred to me that younger people would see 'campy 50s sci-fi novels' differently. Much of my favorite SF was written in the 50s and 60s.

[Raymond]

Three Musketeers ... a slow read so far.

[Kim]

Buck I think that the whole campy vibe was because the plants reminded me of Little Shop of Horrors. I kept hearing "Feed me Seymour" in the back of my mind whenever they were mentioned.

[Buck]

Kim - I didn't hear "Feed me, Seymour." :) What I thought was a little odd about Day of the Trifids was that two Science-fictiony things happened - everybody went blind, and there were the triffids. But I still think it's a terrific book.

[Kim]

Finally finished Great Expectations. I remember liking it as a high schooler, but then I was more focused on the Pip/Estella dynamic. As a sliding towards 50 adult, my focus was more on how Pip interacted with everyone else, especially those who had given him so much. I can identify with being the teen who didn't appreciate what they had.
Halfway through Animal Farm now. Finished Penny Marshall's biography.
And Buck I thought two unrelated disasters in a Triffids was great as well. Wonder if it had been a Russian author of the Triffids would have been an American creation. :0)

Currently reading A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - George R.R. Martin :)

I'm reading Love in the Time of cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

I read One Hundred Years of Solitude recently which has made me a fan of Garcia. I was expecting a little bit of magic in Love in the Time of Cholera. But no tint of magical realism yet.

[Sanjeev]

I'm reading Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Initially I struggled to get through a chapter due to the abstract narrative with dense descriptions. But once the concepts start falling in place the book is captivating. I am half way through and the book has already given me several practical takeaways although it takes some level of introspection to get to this point. If you are reading this book do not rush it like a regular novel. Take your time and soak yourself in it. Will give my complete review upon completion.

I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance last year. Trivia: The book sold 5 million copies worldwide. It was originally rejected by 121 publishers, more than any other bestselling book, according to the Guinness Book of Records.

I am reading miss peregrine's home for peculiar children, and IT IS JUST AWESOME.

I am reading

[Art]

Shakespeare by Bill Bryson from the Eminent Lives series. Bryson narrates the audio version, great for commuters. As with most of Bryson's work, well researched, sprinkled with humor and a very "good read"

Hemingway in Love: His Own Story by A. E. Hotchner, a close friend of Hemingway. Excellent insight into Hemingway's personality, much of which is surprising.

The Pale Horseman (Saxon Tales #2) by Bernard Cornwell, my favorite historical author. Medieval England, Vikings, battles, intrigue, wonderful multi-dimensional characters...extremely well researched, paints a vivid picture of the period, and the story moves at a very good pace. PBS produced a mini-series of the first book in this series (up to 8 novels), The Last Kingdom. The series should be read in order.

[Niza]

i'm ready inkheart now..
i lost my previous copy and been finding a new copy for sometime..
manage to get it though..

[Nimesha]

I'm reading the kill order.... it's not bad so far but I didn't think too much of the maze runner trilogy so don't think the prequel will be much better

[isa.book98]

Recently finished reading Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and now going trough post-series depression. When I have a resemblance of inner peace again, I will start The Name of The Rose by Umberto Eco.

[Shamis]

I am reading Dilbert comics by Scott Adam and Rose and the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh.

[Sethu]

Started with The Name of The Rose by Umberto Eco. I find myself doing more research on medieval times than progressing through the pages.

Umberto is showing off his knowledge of 14th century history mercilessly.
