Fiona, no, I haven't read Resurrection. This is my first Tolstoy and I had to choose between Anna Karenina or War and Peace and chose this one because I have a vague memory of seeing the movie once (so I know how it ends - at least I do if the movie was true to the book...). Even though I remember the movie as good, I don't remember anything but the ending, but Anna Karenina was less daunting to me than War and Peace. The only other Russian I've read is Solszhenitzyn One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich which I really liked so I'm looking forward to this one. Resurrection sounds really good though - any other you can recommend?

im reading Coraline by Neil Gaiman

I'm starting Epicenter: Why the Current Rumblings in the Middle East Will Change Your Future. I know a couple of people who have read it, and they both think it is incredible.

The next Russian I'm going to tackle will be War and Peace, I think - at least that's the only one I have on my shelf currently. But I'm looking forward to Dostoyevsky as well!

I am on to Brother Odd How is Coraline?

I've just started reading Wuthering Heights. I'm not sure I like it. The characters to me are all horrid.

I just finished A Girl from Yamhill by Beverly Cleary. I really enjoyed it, I love her books, so it was fun to learn more about her life. I think I'll read True Grit by Charles Portis next. It's the January book for another book club I'm in.

I'm reading The Monsters of Templeton

I changed my mind. I'm starting Before the Dawn by Dean Hughes.

I'm starting Eclipse today.

I finished Wuthering Heights today. I didn't like it too much. I don't think that's a book I'll ever read again.

I'm going back to reading the Wheel of Time - The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan.

Currently I am reading way too many books but I am reading:

1)Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
2)..."


I am new to this group and this site and I am so excited! I am reading Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruin Zafon and The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski.
I can't wait to get some more ideas from everyone here.

I just finished reading Ulysses by James Joyce. It's a good thing I was reading it for a class or I would not have been able to get through it.

Now I'm reading Between the Bridge and the River by Craig Ferguson. It's very surprisingly good so far.

I often wonder whether anyone woud read Ulysses aside from a class in literature. However as difficult a read as that is, I remember reading Finnegan's Wake and that was a nightmare. I decided to read it because a friend of mine was reading it for a class and I even came to her seminar to figure out what was going on. I don't recall if we ever finished it, but it didn't leave me with a sense of closure, but maybe that was the intention of the book.

I started Too Close to Home by Linwood Barclay last night, a thriller that grabbed my attention right away.

Last night I started with EXCAVATION by James Rollins. It is the first time that I read his books. Will let you know how his books are.

I recently started reading This Must Be the Place.

Rhonda: The end of this book was just like you describe. I don't have a sense of closure about it. The day ends, so the book ends. I think Joyce likes to do that. I've read "Araby" from "The Dubliners" and it's similar in its ending as well.

Yeah that's what I said Fiona! It is just about a guy's day. He eats breakfast, goes to a funeral, goes to work, hangs out at a library and a few other places. I think people think it's so good because he uses so many different literary styles. There's a different one for every chapter. Plus the story is supposed to parallel The Odyssey by Homer. All I got out of it was a headache and a pretty good story that could have been told in an easier format.

Just finished Anna Karenina. It was amazing!
Still reading a collected version of all H.P. Lovecraft's fiction and Barack Obama's The Audacity of Hope.
Not sure which work of fiction I will pick up next...

Moby Dick & Nanny Diaries!

Started The Tales of Beedle the Bard - J.K. Rowling (ML) and I am still reading Skin Privilege - Karin Slaughter, Dissolution - C.J. Sansom.

Finished Tales of Beedle the Bard - J.K. Rowling. Now reading I Am The Messenger - Markus Zusak.

Just sat this afternoon and read A Dog called Christmas - Greg Kincaid. A brilliant book, very interesting as well.

Going to finish up Brother Odd.Probably start The Other Mother by Gwendolen Gross.

Read Four More Degrees - Malcolm Rose. Now reading Animal Lab - Malcolm Rose.

Fiona tell me how you liked I am the Messanger, I bought it at the end of last year & need to read it.

I will let you know Emillee. I will read some more in bed 2nite.

I just finished the twilight series. I started a Danielle Steele "Rogue" yesterday, I found that I think I haven't read yet. then I have Nora Roberts 2nd & 3rd in a trilogy about pagan stones.

I finished Blindness by Jose Saramago today. Didn't like this book at all. The story kept going on and on. I didn't care for the his style of writing also.
I'm now going to start Fast Track by Fern Michaels and I'm two books behind in the Sisterhood Series.

I'm reading Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, and Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. I am really enjoying them both.

Went to bed early last nite and read the following: Falling Awake - Viv French, Walking with Rainbows - Isla Dewar, Harpies - David Belbin & The Cold Heart of Summer - Alan Gibbons.

Did you read both of them completely? i really need to do that!

I am currently reading Christmas, Present - Jacquelyn Mitchard

Just about to finish Christmas, Present - Jacquelyn Mitchard. Will then read I am the Messenger - Markus Zusak.

I just finished WATER FOR ELEPHANTS by Sara Gruen. It was a great book! I am now starting on THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy.

Currently working my way through Edward Rutherford The Forest. An okay read but not amazing. About 600 pages yet to go...!
Also still reading Barack Obama and HP Lovecraft...

Finally finshed Brother Odd didn't really care for it.Hopefully The Other mOTHER WILL BE BETTER.

I am currently reading "Specials" by Scott Westerfeld. It is the third book in the Uglies series.

Ashley, I'm also reading Specials.

how far are you in the book?

Yesterday I finsihed Fast Track by Fern Michaels and started her next book Collateral Damage which is the 4th book in her Sisterhood series.

Right now I'm reading The Trouble with Boys by Peg Tyre. It's very good.

Ashley,

I just finished Specials, I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I did Uglies and Pretties.

What do you think?

I am now reading THE ROAD by Cormac McCarthy. It is very interestingly written, but a little weird on the side.

I am only page 91 but it's getting interesting.

Still reading I AM THE MESSENGER.

Started Nursery Crimes.The Other Mother was an okay read.After awhile the woomen got kind of too whiny and i kind of skimmed to the end.I can tell I'll like Nursery Crimes though I really enjoy reading something quick and light after reading books that don't really do it for me like the last two.

Just finished I Am The Messenger - Markus Zusak. Will now read The Mentalist - Rod Duncan.

I'm just going to start Final Justice (book#5) in the sisterhood series, by Fern Michaels.
