Kylie Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Wow, it's the last month of the year already! The year has just flown by, hasn't it? What are you currently reading? I haven't read anything for a couple of days, but I'm about to pick up The Dirt by Motley Crue and continue reading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 How on earth is it December already? I'm reading The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. Pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie H Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Oh, December already! Never mind, only three weeks to the shortest day . (Blimey, I'm starting to sound like my Dad ) Bought the ebook of Inverted World by Christopher Priest, after pontalba's review,but haven't started to read it yet. I am reading The Howling Miller and Chekhov's The Shooting Party,and enjoying both of them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookie Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Have just finished Girl with a Pearl Earing by Tracy Chevalier which I enjoyed it helped that I have a really lovely copy with the pictures she is describing in. I have decided to read something totally different and have gone for Linda LaPlante Cold Blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I've just finished reading The Drop by Michael Connelly , which I chose to re-read because I have The Black Box to read next. I wanted to refresh my memory a bit. Instead of that I'm now going to read a couple of shorter books first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontalba Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm going back to The Penultimate Truth by PKD. I'd started a few weeks ago, but fell off, I think to Under the Dome.....it's been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I finished Dr No by Ian Fleming last night. It was an enjoyable read but not quite up to some of the earlier books in my opinion. Not sure what to pick next but I might go for The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexi Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Finished Oranges are not the only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson for the English Counties Challenge and now started The Last Good Man by A J Kazinsky which counts for Denmark in my World Challenge!

It's also my 52nd book of the year, which was the target I set for 2013 Well done Alexi Hope you've been able to pick up a book since writing Sari .. very frustrating .. Hayley too Got a torn contact lens stuck in my eye and so can't read Sad as I was going great guns with A Fraction of the Whole and it's not the sort of book to step away from for more than five mins .. I'm more upset about the pain though .. it's really uncomfortable. Hope to sort it out soon but the eye will probably be sore for a few days so extensive reading is out. Wish I could re-live Sunday night again and take my lenses out before I got too tired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athena Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It's also my 52nd book of the year, which was the target I set for 2013 x Congrats !! x I started The Perks of Being a Wallflower of Stephen Chbosky last night.. and I can't stop reading And it's in english! x That's great ! I quite liked this book, though it wasn't anything like my experience at university. @ missing mojos I hope they come back soon! x Got a torn contact lens stuck in my eye and so can't read Sad as I was going great guns with A Fraction of the Whole and it's not the sort of book to step away from for more than five mins .. I'm more upset about the pain though .. it's really uncomfortable. Hope to sort it out soon but the eye will probably be sore for a few days so extensive reading is out. Wish I could re-live Sunday night again and take my lenses out before I got too tired x Awwww that sounds very painful ! I hope your eyes feel better soon . George R. R. Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire 3: A Storm of Swords 1: Steel and Snow proved too complicated for my tired brain, so I've put it away and started Helen Fielding - Bridget Jones 2: Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, which I'm enjoying so far.

Marie H Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Oh bloody hell This is too good to be true I haven't been able to read a book in two days. Getting rather annoying. Yes, The Howling Miller really is a good book , with lots of Kafkaesque twists in the plot. There was some love interest between Gunner the miller and the 4H Federation teacher Sanelma, but then .... well, I couldn't tell you any more, unless you read the book . I hope that your reading mojo improves . Mine seems to have kicked in again, after the last few weeks when it was pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
