Chrissy Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 OK, thread 13 had loads and loads of entries, so let me kick off Thread 14 with...

'Hitler's Canary' by Sandi Toksvig, 'The Woman In Black' by Susan Hill and 'Everything Is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer all arrived in the past couple of days. 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. Edited February 7, 2011 by chesilbeach
Weave Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Still reading 'Shades of Grey' by Jasper Fforde
Janet Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 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!

Currently reading 'Lost In A Good Book' by Jasper Fforde, and enjoying every second of it! 'Hitler's Canary' by Sandi Toksvig, 'The Woman In Black' by Susan Hill and 'Everything Is Illuminated' by Jonathan Safran Foer all arrived in the past couple of days. I've been wondering for ages when a new thread would start! I loved The Woman in Black and I'm currently thoroughly enjoying Everything is Illuminated.

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 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 wishlistAnd so you should since we are Reading Circle-ing it in March *nudge nudge, wink wink*!
page turner Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 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!
lexiepiper Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I've just started Room, heard lots of good things about it, so looking forward to delving in
frankie Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I bought four books today from secondhand bookshops/charityshops: - Hans & Michael Eysenck: Mindwatching - Norman Mailer: The Naked and the Dead - Ken Saro-Wiwa: A Month and a Day: A Detention Diary - Andrew Solomon: The Noonday Demon. An Atlas of Depression
BookJumper Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 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'.
lauraloves Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I may have found another long term reading challenge to take part in *sigh Entertainment Weekly have posted a list of the 100 new 'modern' classics! I can honestly say I'm tempted!
Punkafoo Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Finished reading Stargrazer by Claudia Gray last night, started reading Kissed by an Angel by Elizabeth Chandler
Kidsmum Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 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.
VanessaL Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Reading Mills and Boon Intrigue - Beneath the Badge Got so many of Mills and Boon to read, as I got alot of them very cheap.
Janet Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) I may have found another long term reading challenge to take part in *sigh 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*! 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?! Edited February 8, 2011 by Janet
Punkafoo Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 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.
Charm Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 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?
