Reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Last couple of weeks I read Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll and Trading Up by Candace Bushnell. Anyway not reading a lot since I found the wonderful world of knitting!

I needed something really light so I've started Trading Up by Candace Bushnell...

just started Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

Finished Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and started yesterday Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf (a lovely v-day present from my lovely boyfriend!). Don't know if I'll read much next couple of days, since we're going to Scotland...

Currently reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. My plan is to finish it today and start Anne Rice´s Complete Vampire Chronicles. Let´s see what happens...

Just finished The amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Must confess it was a bit of a struggle at some point, but I did it and am really happy that I kept reading it.

Just started The amazing adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon.

Just finished Dracula, by Bram Stoker. It was probably the wrong time to read it, but I don't really like to give up on books so... anyway, what's done is done so moving on to the next book... I have a big TBR pile this year! I felt the same when started to read Haruki Murakami's books. But even if it is hard to read, I would definitely recommend this author. I was well-impressed with Kafka on the Shore...

thanks Genevieve

I like most of the writers you mentioned! My favourite is Eça... well, I am portuguese and that may explain a lot! Wellcome. I'm sure you will enjoy this forum!

Well done frankie!

I would love to say that I love the classics just like that but I'm afraid I wouldn't be totally honest. I do love some classics but, for some reason, it seems that for some others it's still not the right time for me to read them. Yes, even though I'm in my thirties (unbelievable... still feel like a teen! ) I think that somehow books choose us and when the moment is right we end up reading the right book... sounds really silly, I know...

Hello and welcome! This is a great place and I'm sure you will enjoy a lot around here. Don't worry to much about the reading mojo. Or just remember Daniel Pennac and our 10 inalienable rights: 1.The right to not read, 2.The right to skip pages, 3.The right to not finish a book, 4.The right to reread, 5.The right to read anything, 6.The right to "Bovary-ism," a textually-transmitted disease, 7.The right to read anywhere, 8.The right to sample and steal ("grappiller") 9.The right to read out-loud, and, 10.The right to be silent.

New Year's Resolution: getting in shape. Like many, I'm not the gym type... so from now on I'll be one of those who go for walks every single day. Of course I know I will need to increase the miles walked week by week and maybe, at some point, I will start running... I have a lot weight to lose but... let's hope... Good luck for us all!

You can find this book in portuguese as "O estranho caso do cão morto" (Editorial Presença) and it seems fairly easy to find it at Fnac (and I think you can even order it online). Good luck!

Has anyone read Anne Bishop? I feel tempted to read The Black Jewels Series but...

I've finished The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami (great short stories book... but I really like this writer so...), a Christmas present. Now I'm reading Bram Stoker's Dracula and hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow, just in time to go back to England reading something new..

Thanks Green! I will begin today... let's see if I'm really in the mood for this!

Has anyone read Dissolution by C.J. Sansom?

Finished the Millennium series. Great!!!! Just started The Nun by Denis Diderot.

I'm just starting The girl who kicked the hornets' nest by Stieg Larsson, after The girl who played with fire.

I am okay.. thanks everyone. I did finish The girl with the dragon tatoo yesterday and I just started The girl who played with fire. So far so good!

Not much to finish The girl with the dragom tatoo by Stieg Larsson.. My plan was to finish yesterday but unfortunately I had a car accident...

Yesterday I finished The White Queen by Philippa Gregory. In the beggining I was really excited with the book and I couldn't stop reading it but then... at some point it started to drag.. To be honest I don't know what to think. I do not regret reading it but I am not sure if I'm going to read the next one as soon as it comes out... Today I'm reading The short second life of bree tanner by Stephenie Meyer. So far a page turner. With footbal on I'm sure I'll finish it in a couple of hours.
