I am now 100 pages into Midnight's Children. Though amazing, and amazingly dense, I wonder if I am going to be able to finish it.

Where did you download "120 Days of Sodom"?
Started White Teeth today and was pleasantly surprised that the story starts on New Year's Day.
Looks like White Teeth is the book of the day. I'm also starting it today.
First List book of the year for me - Pale Fire by Nabokov. I love Nabokov, but have no clue about poetry, so it's a dilemma.
Just starting The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham
The Mill on the Floss. I am really looking forward to this one. I've only been able to get to about page 3 so far, but I'm already enjoying it!
The Shining!! I'm actually about half way through and loving it. Pretty exceptional considering I cover my eyes at anything slightly horrific.
Hi everyone, I am new to this group.Just started Mrs. Dalloway, which isn't 'easy' to read, but so readable!

Welcome to you ^_^
Just started War and Peace today.
Started The Name Of The Rose last night.
The Music of Chance by Auster, also really good so far.
Starting:Worstward Ho by Samuel Beckett - The most unusual prose that i've read so far - Here is the first line: On. Say on. Be said on. Somehow on. Till nohow on. Said nohow on.
Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf - Classic ,stream of consciousness, family drama
Les Misérables by Victor Hugo On page 154, and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would.and
Daniel Deronda by George Eliot Only just beginning.
I kick off every year with a "Big Read" - this year it's Les Misérables. I'm also about halfway through Pale Fire. So far, so good.
I've started The Children's Book and I'm waiting for White Teeth to arrive so I can start out group read.
Hi I am Susan and new to the group. I was able to squeeze in Silas Marner which I liked very much while finishing Winter's Tale which was beautifully written but a challenge to stick with. I needed somethinga little lighter than White Teeth so opted for Forsyte Saga.
The Monastery - ScottThe Monastery
Still reading the Introduction, but I'm looking forward to the adventure.
Just started Eyeless in Gaza - Aldous Huxley
Living by Henry Greenand

I started Middlemarch by George Eliot yesterday, because I enjoyed Silas Marner so much. It's about 900 pages, so I'll probably still be reading it in March!
I'm joining the party and starting White Teeth today. Looking forward to it!
The Arabian Nights. I'm going to be working on this one for a while.
