I've finished Death in Rome and am currently reading, for the few months, 2666.

Currently reading Nights At The Circus. Not fussed so far. I really loved her The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, so hoping this improves.

I'm reading a couple of non-list books right now, but The Life of Insects for the group read is ready to be picked up from the library, so that's next up.

I ran across One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich while doing some book organizing this past weekend, and thought it was way past time for me to read it.

Just started Oblomov - finding it very amusing.

Started The Life of Insects last night for the group read. Very weird but not difficult.

I've just finished The Life of Insects for the group read which was quite interesting.
I've also finished Red Harvest by Dashiell Hammett and Neuromancer by William Gibson this month, neither of which were great in my opinion.
I have now started The Once and Future King by T. H. White which has been fun so far.

I’m reading Dictionary of the Khazars which is exactly my kind of weird, and I just picked up The temple of my familiar from my local library.

>9 paruline: That's a fun one, are you reading it straight through or in a more random order?

I'm listening to Our Mutual Friend on audio and reading Jane Eyre on paper. I had Jane Eyre on my old list of books I'd read but now I realize that I had only read the Classic Comic version! I did reread it many times, though, and completely remember certain lines. "Disgusting! The porridge is burnt again!"

>10 ELiz_M: I’m reading straight through until I come across a word in all three books. Then I compare the entries for that word and go back to reading sequentially.
