Members SouthOfSoap Posted July 19, 2006 Members Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks DevotedToAMC, DaysFanJean and Michael for the Brave New World thumbs up - I'm gonna start it this weekend If thats the one by Dostoevsky, I've got that on my reading list too. It looks long and heavy, but I thought that way about Chekhov before I read his short stories - which I was blown away by. I have no clue if they are similar, I merely associate the two because they are both russian from the same-ish time period and sit on my bookshelf together - which reading back now sounds very tacky of me I finished We Need to talk about Kevin yesterday and it was very moving, moreso because its not really my genre of choice. Contrived in parts, but overall very insightful and gems of wisdom on many of its pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysForever Posted July 19, 2006 Members Share Posted July 19, 2006 Right now, I'm reading "On the Street Where You Live" by Mary Higgins Clark. It's a good book up to now. I'm only at page 30 or so LOL. She's a really good author. I would also like to read "Two Little Girls in Blue" by Mary Higgins Clark before the summer is over.

Members WTGH Posted July 20, 2006 Members Share Posted July 20, 2006 Finished Tuesdays with Morrie and wasn't as moving as the author intended it to be. Began Crime and Punishment and it's pretty good so far. The names are tricky! Has anyone read In the Company of the Courtesan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted July 20, 2006 Members Share Posted July 20, 2006 "Finished Tuesdays with Morrie and wasn't as moving as the author intended it to be." GASP! By the time I finished that book, I was practically in tears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leevo64 Posted August 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 On a whim I just read Coraline by Neil Gaiman and finished it in one sitting. Talk about a frightening, fun short novel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 I tossed Brave New World - Sorry, I know you all loved it. It seemed very 1984, which was much better. JMHO. Now reading Ian McEwan's First Love, Last Rites - some of his short stories. This man likes incest and gender role playing within families just a little too much....

Members Dan Posted August 8, 2006 Members Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm *almost* finished The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Afterwards, I plan to begin The Coming of the Third Reich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PMac Posted August 9, 2006 Members Share Posted August 9, 2006 I just started reading The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks for the second time. For those that don't know, that's the sequel novel to The Notebook. Before this, I read A Million Little Pieces. I don't care if he made it up or not, it was still a pretty good book. Shawn, The Jungle is an awesome book. I was like you, leary of eating meat again. Marilyn, you're reading Anna Karenina? Whew, that's long - you must have a lot more patience than me!! I had to read it in school and it nearly killed me! It's funny how while you're in school, you hate reading (or at least I did anyway). Now I do it for fun!

Members WTGH Posted August 11, 2006 Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 Is it fiction or non-fiction? I need some help with a book title. Here's what happens: Hitler fled to Brazil and some sperm was taken from him and implanted into women over there, so there were about 40 Hitler kids running around. Anyone heard of it? Also, one about the Charles Lindbergh kidnapping... decades later the Lindbergh baby turns up alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysFanJean Posted August 12, 2006 Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 Could be The Boys From Brazl by Ira Levin. Here is a link to read about the book. http://www.intercoursewiththedead.com/boys.htm I don't recall a name for the other book you mention but think of several similar. Maybe one will focus and I'll post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
