A quandary I am mulling myself, since I don't want to buy the hardcover and have enough books to read anyway.

You do know Saturday is two days from now, right?

While on vacation, I finished "Persuasion" by Jane Austen (loved it!), and started "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. Outlander is definitely refreshingly easy to read after Austen.

So far this month I've read:

For my Lit class:
Genesis
The Odyssey
Beowulf

For pleasure
Harry Potter 7
A Map of the World (though it was a struggle to finish)

I'm currently reading Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. It is FANTASTIC. I can't put it down.

April, ZATAOMM is Olof's favorite book ... I've never read it myself, but I keep saying I'll get around to it.

SÃlvia, I haven't read The Virgin Blue, but I've had it on my shelf for ages. I did like Falling Angels (or is is Falling?), but I've only read her books in Swedish. I leafed through a couple in English while back, and I didn't like her writing style at all, so I think I'll stick with Swedish where she's concerned!

Right now I'm reading Until I Find You, by John Irving. I'm loving it!

Beverly, I read Falling Angels in Portuguese and didn't like it, and this one in English, and didn't love it, but liked it enough to read it fast (for me). So I guess for me she's much better in English! Or maybe this book's just better.

I finished "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon, which was really good aside from the corny love scenes.

I started the new Harry Potter last night.
