I read "The Joy Luck Club" when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Just finished "August" by Gerard Woodward. Unsettling.

Yea, I would say it's good but not amazing. About the same as "The Autograph Man". Even if you're not really enjoying "On Beauty", I'd recommend you read "White Teeth", which really is very good.

I thought On Beauty was amazing, streets ahead of The Autograph Man which was good but not as good as White Teeth.

Just started Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman, Asweh, It's bo-styles

Callan57 · 16-03-2012 01:50PM

Pulse by Julian Barnes

lindtee · 16-03-2012 02:15PM

Reading "Gone" by Michael Grant between doing assignments and study and enjoying it so far.

johnny_ultimate · 16-03-2012 09:24PM

Just finished The Corrections over two weeks of endless commutes. A rather brilliant and bewitching novel. Some slight flaws - especially the odd direction Chip's story takes - but it's so acute in its observations and so grand in its vision that it's hard to begrudge. Even the more absurd tangents tend to have a worthy end-point.

Started And Having Writ... by Donald R. Bensen yesterday.

Just finished 'Plainsong' by Kent Haruf.

Beautiful book.

Eventide is similarly awesome.

Just started The Abduction by Mark Jiminez. So far so good!

Pintoplain · 18-03-2012 11:29AM

Just finished The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana by Umberto Eco. Absolutely brilliant. A book dealer has suffered a particular type of memory loss: he doesn't remember or recognise his family, but remembers every book he's ever read. So as he re-acquaints himself with the world, all his experience is mediated through literary references. Then, through old school copybooks and comics, he gradually finds out about his boyhood in wartime Italy. The final line is devastating.

triseke · 18-03-2012 11:52PM

started "the fellowship of the ring" again this week. Love it.

x_Ellie_x · 19-03-2012 12:46AM

I've just started reading Second Glance by Jodi Picoult.

_petulia_ · 19-03-2012 12:49AM

I'm practically racing through The Old Curiosity Shop by Dickens. Love it.

highlydebased · 20-03-2012 12:14AM

The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest. Read through the first 2 books in the last month, pretty good going because I hit a reading slump that took quite an effort to get out of!

Callan57 · 20-03-2012 05:06PM

The Hiding Place by Trezza Azzopardi

eire4 · 20-03-2012 09:37PM

I am currently re reading "Oh Hampden in the Sun" by Peter Burns and Pat Woods. It is an interesting book not just for the indepth insight it gives on the 1957 League Cup Final. But also for the overall look at what life was like in general in the Glasgow of the 1950's.

emeraldstar · 22-03-2012 12:26PM

The House of the Seven Gables, Nathaniel Hawthorne

Gothic-y

Callan57 · 22-03-2012 11:01PM

Started 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff today .... saw the movie years ago & loved it

triseke · 25-03-2012 08:15PM

Reading "Timequake" by Kurt Vonnegut as my commuting book

Callan57 · 25-03-2012 09:08PM

The Lotus Eaters by Tatjana Soli

highlydebased · 26-03-2012 11:10AM
