We, The Drowned by Carsten Jensen -

A Danish seafaring epic that spans over a hundred years. I am loving it so far, I can't wait to get home to read it. Best book I've read in ages.

I read Gone Girl a couple weeks ago. It was pretty disturbing, but a great book.

Reading Kafka's THE CASTLE, and finding that life really does imitate art. Amazing novel.

Finishing The Magician King by Lev Grossman (sequel to The Magicians). Even better than the fist one!

I'm just midway through The Snow Child, by Eowyn Ivey - the reason I'm bumping this thread, because it is very good indeed. A finalist in the just-announced Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, too, so yay. Worth a look, fellow readers!

A great escape from the horrendous events of late.

The Wolf's Hour by Robert McCammon. I posted that I was reading this book before, but for some reason I stopped. So, I am picking it back up again. So far, it's REALLY good

I have had the HARDEST time finding something decent to read lately :/ I'm considering re-reading Harry Potter because I can't find anything!

StockardFan - Isn't Sharp Objects something else? All of Gillian Flynn's books are so good! Dark Places is very good as well if you have not read it!

Of course, after I wrote that I stared The Wolf's Hour again, I get a book that I have been waiting for thru Inter-Library Loan. So down with that book and up with Doctor Who: Shada by Douglas Adams and Gareth Roberts.

*Nobody* here has read them :P (actually I was gonna bump the TV series thread.) I love them though I think the writing can be overly dense--I've only read the first two, but since the TV series kicked in and I know how slow Martin can be as a writer, I think now I'll only read each book after the show equivalent has aired.

The Burgess Boys, the new novel by Elizabeth Stout, who won the Pulitzer a few years back for Olive Kitteridge.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

StockardFan, that's how I'm reading Corduroy Mansions too, as an e-library loan on my iPhone (Overdrive ap). Originally it was serialized online, 5 chapters a week for 20 weeks, and readers could comment to and ask questions of the author. Others in series, also serialized. Alexander McCall Smith has done another series of books, Scotland Street series, that were originally serialized in a Scottish newspaper. I've read all except the last two of the Scotland Street series either via library e-book or cheap used hard copies from Amazon.

McCall Smith's books, from what I've read so far, are a lot of fun to read. Lots of eccentric characters, but at same time, they seem like real people. I'd like to eventually get around to reading all his books. He's quite prolific! - http://www.alexandermccallsmith.co.uk/books/

On another thread-related note, having read, enjoyed, and been amazed by Gone Girl, I'd also like to get around to reading more of Flynn's books. (Especially after reading the comments here.)
