I'm thinking of having a Thursday next re-reading session before the next one comes out in a few weeks, Chrissy, and I've been thinking about it even more since I've seen you re-reading and enjoying them so much!

 

I think we may have been separated at birth - Hitler's Canary is on my wishlist, I loved The Woman In Black and I'm currently reading Everything Is Illuminated. :lol:

The Screwtape Letters arrived today. I tried to "Look Inside" the illustrated version but couldn't find any images so I took a chance on it - and I'm so pleased I did - I really like it! :)

I've been wondering for ages when a new thread would start! :giggle:

 

I loved The Woman in Black and I'm currently thoroughly enjoying Everything is Illuminated.

I myself need to begin my personal Ffordian February Challenge any minute now. This frankly ridiculous situation of Jasper writing quicker than I can read ends now.

 

Wow! I just added it to my wishlist
And so you should since we are Reading Circle-ing it in March *nudge nudge, wink wink*!

I have about 100 pages left to go in 'Everything Is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer . I'm enjoying it, but finding time to read now I'm back at work is hard. I really think I need a holiday from the holiday I took in the first place.You get back to work and wonder why you bothered as there's now twice as much to do!

- Ken Saro-Wiwa: A Month and a Day: A Detention Diary

- Andrew Solomon: The Noonday Demon. An Atlas of Depression

Started re-reading The Eyre Affair this morning, and I'm finding it so hard to fast read it for plot rather than indulge in the language... Jasper is such a genius. Cannot wait for TN6, better get crackin'.

Read some more of Restless & bought 4 books in the charity shop

 

The Color Purple Alice Walker - loved the movie so want to see how the book compares.

Oscar & Lucinda Peter Carey

The Help Katherine Stockett- especially pleased at finding this as I've read such good things about it on here.

The Phoenix & The Carpet E. Nesbit - I love E. Nesbits stories so got this to read as a bedtime story to my youngest daughter.

I may have found another long term reading challenge to take part in *sigh :P

 

Entertainment Weekly have posted a list of the 100 new 'modern' classics! I can honestly say I'm tempted!

Nooooooooooooooooo. Get thee behind me, Satan Laura, and stop tempting me*! :P

 

Kidsmum - The Help is brilliant - I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :) I haven't read The Phoenix and the Carpet for years - I hope you enjoy that too!

 

*ETA: Where can I find this list?! :lurker:

Finsihed A Summer Fling by Milly Johnson yesterday so I'm reading Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes

 

The name of that book A summer Fling makes that book sound like a good read. Just looked at someone review on it too and it sounds amazing.

I decided to start Flesh House by Stuart MacBride, nothing like a taste of good old Scottish gore to keep my mojo happy ;) Another reason being that I really should start and make a dent in my TBR before buying more. ... I wonder how long that wil last? :giggle2:
