Shadowfax · 12-15-2003, 10:57 PM

Now I'm working on Nathaniel Hawthorn's "The Scarlet Letter"

Mercutio · 12-15-2003, 11:59 PM

I just finished that for class. Jesus saved me too, and just about everybody in my English class.

Back to the subject...

I'm working on "Portrait of a Lady" by Henry James; his novels are a little slow going; you've got to be patient.

Yes, I've heard that too; my friend read "Portrait" last year and said it was about a bunch of nothing, literally, and she couldn't follow it. I haven't read it, so I can't really comment myself, but that's how she felt about it

Oh - I just read that a couple years ago myself... uh, on my commutes I was setting out to read all the things I blew off in high school...

Clive Cussler's Troyan Odyssey.

This one gives you an insider's view of the movie Gollum's journey from concept to cat-cough to TTT and ROTK success on the big screen.

1984 by George Orwell

i got a bunch of books for christmas so i should be set for, oh, about a month

Spock · 12-26-2003, 04:45 PM

Among other things two interesting books: "If I die on the Jersey Front" and "Invasion". I have to read these with the lights on!

Shadowfax · 12-27-2003, 10:03 PM

Ack, I'm still slogging throught "Scarlet Letter," and now I'm going back to "Sir Gawain & the Green Knight" (translation by Tolkien) to take a break.

BeardofPants · 12-28-2003, 12:18 AM

I'm reading High Five in the Stephanie Plum series... Psst.... Ruinel, you were right... these are good.

Goldberry1 · 12-28-2003, 01:19 AM

finished 1984 and now i'm on to The Wreck of The River of Stars by Michael Flynn.

All Bran · 12-28-2003, 12:10 PM

Just finished reading From a Buick 8 by Stephen King. Highly satisfying.

Artanis · 12-28-2003, 05:23 PM

I've finally finished Karamazov Bros. and started on a book by Orhan Pamuk. Don't know the English title, but the original title is Benim adim kirmizi.

..."My name is Red" first appeared in German in 2001.

Most unusual reading.

The Norwegian title names the colour Crimson instead of Red.

I've only read the first two chapters yet, but yes - it seems unusual.

After seeing so many references to it on entmoot, I'm reading Redwall.
