BookJumper Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I've thrown all my best-laid reading plans out of the window and started reading Unseen Academicals... I blame ScarletBella.
Fi. Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm sorry It's just that who knows how many more Discworlds we'll get and I couldn't not read it right away so I'm just encouraging everyone to do the same thing!
bookworm44 Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Today I bought Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry, which I'm starting right away and I also got on the 3 for 2 offer: Haruki Murakami - The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, for November's book circle Mary Ann Shaffer & Annie Barrows - The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Society Sebastian Barry - The Secret Scripture I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on Audrey Niffenegger's new book.
Charm Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I finished The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman last night and have started Broken Skin by Stuart MacBride
lexiepiper Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on Audrey Niffenegger's new book. Thanks I'm just over half way, I'll be finished with it by tomorrow
Weave Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I am halfway through What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami
Mysterioso Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I'm juggling reading two chunky ones for my sins- John Irving 'Last Night In Twisted River' and the new Larsson' The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets' Nest'....v. difficult to devote equal time and attention to both but I'm sure I'll cope:lol:
Talisman Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I read for about 15 minutes during my tea break this morning (Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes) and am just about to read some more.
BookJumper Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 On page 49 of Unseen Academicals (17 of which read today, 21 last night - the book is one of them that inexplicably starts on page 9). Aim to read at least until page 61 tonight as I cannot wait for the token Vetinari scene - man, I love that man! All things considered this is quite fast reading for the new me and that would be because I'm loving the book so far, hence *general rejoicing* !
lexiepiper Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Finished Her Fearful Symmetry, was disappointed by it if I'm honest! Now on to Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah.
SueB Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I have just finished Songs of the Humpback Whales and throughly enjoyed it!! Now what to read next.......David my son took me into WHS today and bought me some books for my birthday
Charm Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Finished Her Fearful Symmetry, was disappointed by it if I'm honest! Now on to Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mah. Aw that's such a shame Lexie, especially as you were so looking forward to it I was hoping it was going to be good myself too I've only read about 30 pages today of Broken Skin, probably read some more later
joe Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Aw that's such a shame Lexie, especially as you were so looking forward to it I was hoping it was going to be good myself too I've only read about 30 pages today of Broken Skin, probably read some more later That is disappointing, will be starting to read it soon myself

Peacefield Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Up to page 64 in The Bone Garden so hopefully will get lots more in this weekend. It's quite interesting though. I love the going back and forth between present-day Boston and 1830's Boston; excellent reading so far!
Lucybird Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 I guess when the first book is so good it sets a high standard for the second
Jack Dawkins Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Read Fables:Legends in Exile, a graphic novel by Bill Willingham,also included was a written short story called A wolf in the Fold. Both stories were very entertaining. Continued to read A kestrel for a Knave
NovaLee Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I am halfway through What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami Are you enjoying this one, Gyre? I'd love to hear your comments when your done. I like Murakami.
frankie Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 You people have been real busy reading and buying books, haven't you! I got me some books a couple of days ago, Erica Spindler's In Silence, Maria Gripe's YA book, a book by Einar M
blithe Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 Read a bit of Empire Falls by Richard Russo last night. I'm liking it so far - especially Miles.
frankie Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I picked up Erica Spindler's In Silence. I'm not sure whether it's Spindler's style or the translation, but something about the book is bothering me a bit. I'm not gonna let that stop me from reading the book though, I'm thinking the storyline's interesting so far
sirinrob Posted October 4, 2009 Posted October 4, 2009 I'm finishing off 'The Third Policeman' by Flann O'Brien. Interesting read - review to follow
