I've just started Border Crossing by Pat Barker, and I'm also re-reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. I love that book.

Messy Missy

I'm currently alternating between "The Gifts of the Jews" by Thomas Cahill and "The Autograph Man" by Zadie Smith.

I love Gabriel García Márquez. Both "Leaf Storm" and "The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor" were required reading material back in high school. At first I thought they were complete crap but then I couldn't put them down. Ahhhh, the ignorance of youth!

Just finished the Hyperion omnibus by Dan Simmons. Good read.
His novel The Terror was probably the most enjoyable thing I read last year.

Onto The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski now.

This week I are re-reading Down by the River and In the Forest by Edna O'Brien. Great stuff.

Currently Your Cheatin' Heart, Annie McCartney. Not bad, definitely better than the cover led me to believe.

The Stand, Stephen King. First time, got it for Christmas after so many people hereabouts raved about it, I'm about 2/3s through it, terrific stuff.

Shryke

Just about to finish Cats Cradle by Vonnegut. Good, but Slaughter House 5 is a much superior work.

If you haven't read it, and you like Cat's Eye, try The Robber Bride. It's similar and very enjoyable.

Currently reading The Zahir - Paulo Coelho. I really like his writing style, simple and effective.

Soul music - pratchett

The Appeal by John Grisham and The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat by Oliver Sacks.

Dibble

Redemption Falls by Joseph O'Connor.

Just starting The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Was very sad to finish the excellent Alias Grace...

IronMan

Reading Black Mass by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. A true story of the alliance between the Boston FBI and criminal James "Whitey" Bulger. Compelling story of crime and corruption.

manicmonoliths

Just finished The Road by McCarthy, creepy stuff. Moving on to The Time Traveler's Wife which has been great so far, nice contrast between those 2 books haha. Hoping to move on to Fahrenheit 451 soon enough, continuing my obsession with dystopia.

BroomBurner

Just finished Jesse Kellerman's Brutal Art. He's the son of John and Faye Kellerman and, to be honest, while the story is actually a good one, there is a feeling of laziness to it. The ending in particular is unbelievably lazy and a real let down.

Now, where's my Mitch Albom...

Return of the Crimson Guard - Esslemont.

The Missing - Thomas Eidson
