I started Edgar Sawtelle a few days ago. So far is good.

Reading Lolita in Tehran by Nafisi. Just started but it sounds good :)

Started reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens this week. Before that, i read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. I'm in my classics mood. :)

Reading a mystery this time. Wife of the Gods. So far pretty good. Author is Kwei Quartey and a new author for me.

started "Orange is the new black' after getting hooked on the show recently, I was late to the bandwagon. I'm liking it so far

Just started Deenie by Judy Blume.

Recently finished The Kite Runner and The Bell Jar and have to say they are a MUST-READ!

I'm about 3/4 of the way through Middlesex. Really enjoying it, the style is very chatty like you're having a conversation with a very interesting person. Fascinating story, well told and the technical info is presented in a manner you can understand.

Im a sucker for book lists but I really like the Gilmore reading list because it's so varied in scope.

In the few weeks, I've read Bel Canto and the Kite Runner, both are also on a list of books that are 'most addictive page turners' as well as the Gilmore book list). Anyway, both are addictive page turners! I loved both of them for the descriptive phrases and especially, the relevant history in Kite Runner. Both are keepers on my shelf.

I read Devil in the White City. Enjoyed it, the author is a master of telling "2 stories within one novel". He did this in "Isaac's Storm" as well as Devil in White city and frankly, I don't know how they can fit both stories into one upcoming movie.

I reread To Kill a Mockingbird and fell in love with her writing again. I read about half of Go Tell a Watchman and was indifferent to her writing, I doubt I'll bother to finish it.

ETA: Finished Middlesex this afternoon and I loved it! So I started
The Virgin Suicides this afternoon and so far, so good.

Hi Anne!

I am doing Rory's book challenge for the same reasons. I love the diversity! I also just finished The Kite Runner. It was amazing! I recently finished The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and highly recommend it! These 2 have definitely gone down as favorites. I am actually just about to start Oliver Twist!

Happy reading!

I am almost finished with The Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri. I really like the way she writes. If this book isn't already on Rory's list, it should be. I previously read The Namesake , which Lahiri also wrote. I liked that one, too.

Reading The Little Prisoner by Jane Elliott. Very disturbing so sad to see what children can be put through

Just started Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. BTW, loved The Husband's Secret!

I started reading Sliver Lingings: a Rose Harbor novel by Debbie Macomber

I also read Where'd You Go Bernadette and The Opposite of Loneliness . I liked both of them, too.

The Fellowship Of The Ring, it's so beautifully written. Forgot writing could be this good.

a clockwork orange! its quite good

I just bought all 3 books at my local Goodwill. I can't wait to start them!

I just started Girl, Interrupted. I'm really excited about reading this book because I recently read The Bell Jar and wonder how similar they will be.

Miss Marple: The Complete Short Stories is an absolute gem!

Actually I'm just finish two book, The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman and The Last Summer by Judith Kinghorn. Wonderful both! :)
