So… J.K. Rowling’s first novel for adults is available for pre-order:

I’m still reading Stephen King’s 11/22/63 (never in my life have I taken so bleepin’ long to finish a book), but I just might have to put everything on hold for this.

The JKR book, I’m going to get that eventually. I’m not super interested in what I’ve heard of it being about, but I love the Harry Potter books and I want to see how she writes when writing for adults.

Same here!

I just finished “Wasp” by Eric Frank Russell. Again. I reread this one at least once a year. It is entirely too much fun to pass up.

That sounds interesting!

Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Oolong eases the heebie jeebies.

Just finished Devil Said Bang by Richard Kadrey, and have now started Kingdom of Gods by NK Jemisin.

I’m thinking of tackling this http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/75460

Anyone read Proust?

inguna said 2012-09-29 11:41:29 -0400

Haven’t read Proust but his In Search of Lost Time fascinates me greatly.

JasonCT said 2012-09-29 14:48:51 -0400

Me too Inguana, so today I picked up Vol. 1 and some Moleskines to take notes….Bring it! ;)

After the disappointment of IQ84 I’m reading One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Mercuryhime said 2012-09-29 13:12:00 -0400

One Hundred Years of Solitude is good stuff!

JasonCT said 2012-09-29 14:48:09 -0400

Good indeed, enjoy!

Uniquity said 2012-09-29 14:48:49 -0400

I love 1000 Years of Solitude…though there was a lot of referring to the family tree for me!

Just finished Blue Sword by Robin McKinley. Enjoyable but forgettable characters.

Helena said 2012-09-29 22:14:23 -0400

The Hero and the Crown was much better! It takes place before Blue Sword it and it was great :D I recommend that one :D also I recommend Beauty, Rose Daughter and Deerskin (3 of my absolute favourites) by Robin Mckinley

Mercuryhime said 2012-09-29 22:54:41 -0400

Oh good. I was planning on reading Hero and the Crown. :)

Terri HarpLady said 2012-09-29 22:05:24 -0400

I just started “The Force of Wind”, book 3 of the Elemental Mysteries series by Elizabeth Hunter. This one starts in China!

I’m working on Wuthering Heights, but having a hard time getting into it – doesn’t help that the beginning of the school year is an extremely busy and stressful time and I haven’t been reading as often as I would like.
