Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I'm about halfway through Smashed, Squashed, Splattered, Chewed, Chunked and Spewed by Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ author Lance Carbuncle. Not quite sure what I think yet - but definitely some funny parts.

Ditto that! The Namesake was an excellent book. I really enjoy this author's work. I still need to read Unaccustomed Earth.

Am reading Twenties Girl and Sense and Sensibility.

Just started The Commoner A Novel and I am really enjoying it. Since the Japanese royal family is not very open about personal matters a good bit is fiction but the story is still based on the life of the current Empress.

hey! I'm new to goodreads, and i'm so glad i've found it because i've been looking for a good way to find new books to read!

But yeah, so anyways, i am one of those people whose mind is all over the place and reads a ton of books at once. I'm trying to narrow it down now, so im finally just reading one book (and thouroughly enjoying it!)
I'm reading The Good Earth by pearl s buck

Hi, Yishian :) If you post your introduction in the introduction section you'll be sure to get more welcomes, and get to know more people. But seeing as you've posted here, hi!

Is The Good Earth historical fiction?

I am reading Three Cups of Tea.

I'm reading Women Talking Dirty by Isla Dewar.

Am about to start Sense and Sensibility

I am reading The Household Guide to Dying by Debra Adelaide and Disconnection by Erin Samiloglu.

What we did on our Holidays by Geoff Nicholson.

The book starts off in a very gently English way. A father, going through the existential angst of middle-age, is taking his wife and two teenaged children for their last joint family holiday. They are going to a caravan park and the talk is of motor insurance, car sickness, country walks and the like. It reads like its going to be a modern comedy of manners until he sitting in the happy silence of couples who know each other very well and his wife pipes up, "I'd really like to be shafted from behind by an Arab with a big tool, who really knows how to use it." Oh!

Rereading A Woman of No Importance by Oscar Wilde with the class. It's quite fun reading it aloud. I'm Lady Hunstanton.

What do you think so far? I very much enjoyed it!

Started Absolution by Murder by Peter Tremayne, the first in the Sister Fidelma series. I've wanted to read this for some time and I have a copy that will fit in my bag for my trip tomorrow so it was the perfect choice.

I just bought and about to start The Lost Symbol. Hoping it will be a riveting read to keep me up late tonight. Got it for $17 at Walmart. I started not to buy it but I have his other ones and if I wait long enough I will forget and be able to re-read them.

The Gate House by Kathleen Heady. I won it in a GR giveaway.

Feast of Fools

I am reading Let the Right One in by John Ajvide Lindqvist

The Cider House Rules (at last)!
I gave up on Cold Mountain.

Just started Stiff: the Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach.

I think this one will be a quick read.

I'm now starting When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson. Pretty excited about this one!

About to read Succubus in the City - Nina Harper.

Lily has what looks like the perfect life: a fabulous day job at a fashion magazine; a killer figure she can literally never lose; and a great group of girlfriends who are always there for her. Oh, and she also just-so-happens to be a succubus: an immortal demon who draws her power from other men's pleasure. Although working for the Devil does have it's perks, Lily's realising that serving up bad boys to the fiery pits of Hell is just getting ...well, lonely. Just once, Lily would like to wake up in the morning to something more than a pile of ashes but, contractually bound to Satan, she will only be released if someone truly loves her. Then the devilishly handsome PI Nathan Coleman enters her life and Lily begins to wonder if he might be the man she's been waiting for. He wants to ask Lily a few questions about a missing man, but suddenly someone - or something - wants Lily and her demon friends dead, and Nathan seems to know more than he'll admit to. Can a sweet-talking mortal and a girl from Hell ever really find true love?

Last nite I started Keeping the Dead - Tess Gerritsen

I'm reading one in manuscript (for a possible blurb) that is definitely going to be a book to watch for: The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli. It will be published by St. Martin's Press in April.

I'm reading Saving Fish from Drowning A Noveluntil The Story of Edgar Sawtelle comes in (the second one is for my in person bookclub).

We read this for our bookclub a few months ago, and I
really did like the author's journalistic style of
writing. He stated facts

Sorry to hear you didn't like it. I'll see how it goes.

I liked the Great Gatsby. Ok yeah was a little heavy in the symbolism, but that book was beautiful written and had some great one liners.

I can completely see why people love it and yet it's hard to put into words. I can definitely see myself coming to appreciate it in the future, but my first (and so far, sole) experience of it was unremarkable.

I should really be finishing Wuthering Heights (don't get me started on that one) but I'm starting Howards End by E.M. Forster.

Having a hard time finishing books again so I have put down Saving Fish from Drowning A Novel and started reading a GR giveaway Evenings at the Argentine Club and for my real person bookclub The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I think I will be able to finish both of these.

I recently purchased The Double Bind but I am teaching Great Gatsby this year and want to re-read it before I read Double Bind.

I got about 85 pages into Wuthering Heights, put it down because I wanted to read something else and I never got back. I didn't hate it, but obviously wasn't moved enough.

Wow, some great books being read here.
I am currently reading Her Fearful Symmetry, in preparation for the Audrey Niffenegger Q&A session, and after that I plan on reading HELP! A Bear is Eating Me! - It looks hilarious!

any good book to read? i am done with everything by haruki murakami!

I wish I could do the same, but sadly many essays on the subject await me :( I don't hate it either - it's just not my kind of novel at all.

Ahh, well it was a pleasure read for me. I never had to read it in school. Good Luck!
