Posted: 3/24/08 at 6:13pmI'm almost finished with Fight Club, and just started Choke, both by Chuck Palahniuk. I'm also re-reading Angels in America and And the Band Played On. All of this for the same class. Awesome. At least it's all interesting.

Posted: 3/24/08 at 6:14pmYeah, I don't think either of the Harry Potter discussion threads got more than ten chapters in, so if someone does feel the initiative to start a book club, I wouldn't recommend doing it chapter-by-chapter. I'd love to see more in-depth discussion of certain books, though.

Middlesex is one of the best books I have read in the past few years. Just gorgeous.
Right now I'm reading The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen. It's a fun bit of fluff that my friend bought for me. It's getting me really geared up to re-read the entire Austen cannon this summer!

Posted: 3/24/08 at 8:20pmJust finished Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld. It was recommended to me by someone because I love the book A Separate Peace, and they told me it was the female version of it. It disagree but I did really like Prep. The protagonist has a very strong and likable voice.

It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 3/24/08 at 10:15pmRight now, I'm reading The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King. I loved the LOTR movies, so my friend suggested that I read the books cause the films always cut things out. So far I'm enjoying it.

Posted: 3/24/08 at 11:29pmWe Need to Talk about Kevin by one of my favorite authors, Lionel Shriver. It's harrowing book a high school massacre, told through letters written by the mother of the killer. It's a very good book, but it's just so painful and sad.

I hated LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA.
I loved MIDDLESEX.
I'm currently reading THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL.

I just finished The Kite Runner. I enjoyed the first half far more than the latter, but overall really liked it.
I'm not sure what to start next. Maybe I'll scan this thread for recommendations.

Posted: 4/1/08 at 3:57amI'm about halfway through The Brothers Karamazov (which I never knew was actually pronounced care-uh-mah-zoff, not care-uh-mat-zoff, until now). I'm liking it a lot, even though it's for a class, but it's definitely slow going.

Just started BRUTAL by Kevin Weeks.
It's a first-hand account of life inside Whitey Bulger's Irish Mob in Boston (the author was one of Whitey's top associates). It's pretty good so far - very gritty.

Posted: 4/1/08 at 1:38pmJust finished The Dead Zone, and now I've started Desperation by Stephen King.

Posted: 4/1/08 at 1:41pmTechnically still in the middle of Born Standing Up by Steve Martin...not as good as I thought it would be. So I started Middlesex instead. Only a couple of chapters in, but I can definitely say it is...different, lol!
