What did we read in October

[Emil Miller]

Well I haven't had much time to read anything but stuff for school, so this is what I have read the past month

The Great Gatsby
Winseburg, Ohio
The Sun Also Rises

An interesting selection but which one did you prefer ?

[Sin of Red]

Not a fan of Harry Potter, I must admit. But hey. I did read Fourteen Byzantine Rulers by Michael Psellus, I'm weird that way.

[Emil Miller]

The Moon and Sixpence by W.S Maugham ( 3rd reading )
The Warden by Anthony Trollope ( 2nd reading )
The Octopus by Frank Norris

[book_jones]

Henderson The Rain King by Saul Bellow
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

[The Comedian]

The Growth of the Soil
Death and High Cost of Living
Batman: Year One
Smithsonian magazine
Barbie and the Diamond Castle (4 times to my daughter -- she loves that book).

[Kevets]

I just joined a book club with a few friends. The first selection was Manuel Puig's Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Next up is Steinbeck's Cannery Row.

I'm still working on my pick, but am thinking The Time Traveler's Wife. This club is me (a man) and three women. So it is interesting, the choices so far. I think the others are worried about hitting me with chick lit. So then I'll throw them a curve!

Yikes! Are we including books we've read to our children too?!! In that case I'll add The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe which I read to my son (he's making me work through the whole Narnia set!) and, phew, Emily Brown and the Thing (brilliant!), Mog the Forgetful Cat, Shine Moon Shine, 101 Dalmations (the Disney version, sadly), K for Kissing a Kangaroo, Little Rabbit goes to School... and so on. They're just the one's I can remember!

I really love The Time Traveler's Wife. I'd be interested to hear what you think of it if you decide to pick it. I tried to get my hubby to read it but no chance! This is despite earlier well received recommendations such as Time's Arrow by Martin Amis and Heroes & Villains by Angela Carter. Sigh.

I have read:

1- My sister's keeper
2-The Tenth circle ..............both by Jodi Picoult

They were amazing especially the first one
