Back to the list again and started The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes So far it’s absorbing and hard to put down. A quick read.
Started Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell yesterday. It's a reread, but I read it before I began reading the list so I haven't ticked it off yet.

One of the very few books I've read twice in my life, the 2nd time being two years ago. Maybe I'll read it again in another 30 years.

Are you reading it for a group read? I saw Alice just started it also. I read another of his books.

George, not a group read. A while back I found a list of shorter books (200 pages or so) from the overall list and every once in a while, I'll pick one for a quick read. I like to do this after I've read a long book (think Les Mis which I finished earlier this year).
There is a method of my madness :o)

Just a coincidence. I am often surprised when I start reading a book and see that several people are reading it as well. Yet there are over 1300 books here.
I seldom post but I read the comments every day. I am not an avid Boxall's reader but I do read from the list and checking what others are reading on the list gives me ideas of books I might want to put on my Boxalls "to read" list.

Glad you are here Linda and enjoying the group. If there is anything we can help you with, please do not hesitate to ask. And again, welcome!

I now have five list books going- need to finish one now- and I promise I will very soon.
