catwoman Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Well I've managed to decide on a book to read. I started The Resurrectionist by James Bradley.

Cookie Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I also read about ten more pages of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. What do you think of this book? I really enjoyed it.
Rawr Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 What do you think of this book? I really enjoyed it. So far, it is very alluring. He has a very lively way of writing, it's a little difficult to make sense of, but I think more than anything, that's a credit to him. It's certainly something different and I'm really enjoying reading
Shin Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I am now 200 odd pages into The Eyre Affair and really enjoying it. Also, The Animal Farm by George Orwell arrived today. That will be a quick read.
frankie Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 I read Kavalier & Clay recently. It's superb.. How did I miss that you picked up the Chabon, Frankie?! I loved that book so I'm excited you got it . Hooray! The second one is supposed to excellent, and I've had it on my TBR pile for a while. Maybe I'll read it with you. Excellent news! I’ve heard nothing but great things about it and eventhough I don’t know much about the book itself, I’m really looking forward to reading it! Kylie, I would love it if you would join in on the reading! Maybe we could suggest it in the Rory Gilmore reading group, if there are others that would like to join? I am now 200 odd pages into The Eyre Affair and really enjoying it. Also, The Animal Farm by George Orwell arrived today. That will be a quick read. I’m so happy that you’re enjoying The Eyre Affair I hope you enjoy Animal Farm as well, it’s a quick and easy read but also enjoyable. I haven’t had much time to read lately, have been rather sociable these last couple of days. I hope I get some reading done over the weekend though.
