Finishing off my reread of Catch-22. Such a fantastic book. Funny as hell.

Thinking I'm going to try to squeeze in Anna Karenina before school starts back up. I started it a few years back but...

finally reading My Sunshine Away by M.O. Walsh after my friend lent it to me like four years ago. I'm about a third in and it's really good so far. Very easy to read and just sink right into....

House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski.

It's the book with literal twists and turns.[/QUOTE]

This is the book you have to turn sideways at Times to read... haha good one!

Consider yourself lucky.

I heard that judges are giving criminals the choice to read it as an alternative to prison time.[/QUOTE]


I'm sure I'll love it. Steinbeck is a joy to read.

I love Steinbeck. If I start rereading Steinbeck, I'll end up rereading everything he's written.[/QUOTE]


I've still got some Steinbeck to read, but he is fantastic. I haven't read The Grapes of...

I decided to finally re-read East of Eden, which is one of my favourites yet I've never re-read it because it's not exactly a short read at 600 packed pages.

I'm a third through Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel. It's a Canadian novel about a traveling theatre group traveling around The Great Lakes decades after a plague wipes out most of mankind...

I'm about halfway through Crime and Punishment. The first 40 pages or so was harder to get through than I remember, but I'm right into it now. The murder scene and the build up to it just so...

I'm moving back to Crime and Punishment after finishing The Kite Runner.



The Kite Runner was a very well-written book, but it made some missteps in the final third, notably when it came to...

Nothing quite that extensive. If anything, she wants more. More character depth, descriptions, expansions on some scenes, etc. I want to keep my momentum going as I finish up my current project...

That's where the fun begins. Hopefully your editor didn't say you should cut roughly 70 pages of content like mine did haha

I'm reading The Kite Runner for school. I'm about 1/6 of the way in. It's pretty good so far.

Would love to see your Leatherbound Crime & Punishment if you get a chance. Great book.

I've got to read a book for school. There were a few options on the list that are on my to read list like House of Sand and Fog, 1984, and No Country For Old Men, but considering the subjects for our...

You read the whole book in one day?! :o[/QUOTE]

I did! Now, to be fair, I accomplished absolutely nothing else in that 24 hours other than lounge around, but still- I didn't want to to anything...

I've got The Troop on my couch right now.

I imagine those that rated We Are Not Ourselves low or more middling aren't into stories that don't have a strict plot. It's very much a book that meanders, a collection of moments in a lifetime. But...

We Are Not Ourselves by Matthew Thomas isn't just a great book, it's one of the greatest books I've ever read. It's rare to encapsulate a lifetime on paper, but that is what Thomas did with his...

I'm two thirds in an it's no longer pretty great so far, it's just pretty damn great.
