What are you reading?

I've finished The Knitting Circle and The Great Man.  Yesterday I also got Pursuit of Love (which was wrapped up in paper because it's such a delicate old copy!) and Making of a Marchioness (I think).

Two of my favourites!!!!

Yay!  I usually just check what you've read before I go to the library, you know. 

Just finished The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I ran out of reading material so I borrowed this from DS and I couldn't put it down! Fantastic.

Just about finished Everything You Know by Zoe Heller. Amazing. Will have read it in a day, that's how unputdownable it is!

I'm going to start Restoration by Rose Tremain, unless my book club book from Amazon arrives in the post today.

Dave Gorman's America Unchained

I just finished the first three Janet Evanovich books and am going to start on The Inimitable Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

I picked up How To Be Single by Liz Tuccillo (sp?) and the first chapter has me hooked. Evidently it's chick lit meets travelogue.

I bought this at the Hay festival after hearing him talk about it. It looks good!

I'm sure I've read this, but I can't recall what it's about.

I'm reading Scarpetta by Patricia Cornwell .

Im finally reading Watching The English after much praise from members on the board. A little late to the game, I know/.

Yeah, Watching the English is great as long as you don't take it too seriously and realise it's one person's insights into her own culture.  I liked it the first time I read it (when I first arrived here), but it was a bit too tedious for a re-reading for me.  Maybe someday.

I'm reading Being Emily by Anne Donovan.  It's not really my usual type of book, but I like it so far.  About a year or so ago, I read a book called The Family Tree by Carole Cadwalladr, and I loved it.  Since then I have been searching for anything like it, and this leads me to books like this one and others.  If anyone has any suggestions for similar books, I would love to hear them.  If not, I will continue upon my quest, not minding finding things that I normally wouldn't have bothered with.

On the last chapter of Lucky, by Alice Sebold. (She also wrote The Lovely Bones which is one of my favorite books.) This one is her auto-biography, beginning with her rape, and all that followed. It is quite moving.
