I'm really enjoying it.It's like reading a dream that's how I would explain it.After this I'm reading Romeo and Juliet.

I swith between wuthering heights and my sister's keeper by Jodi Picott(sp?)[the mother in this book is driving me crazy].Has anyone read it?

[Kirsten]

No, I haven't read that one.

But I was really fascinated by Wuthering Heights, especially by the character of Heathcliff. Both fascinated and disgusted at the same time, a very complex figure! You want so desperately find something good, something human beyond all his cruelties, and yet you have to realize that he's driven by nothing but his obsessive love that drove him mad...


BTW, just finished Stieg Larsson, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and have now started "The Lost Symbol", Dan Brown's new book. Anyone else reading it?

Kirsten, do you know that Karen maintains a blog of the books she reviews? You probably do, but just in case, here is the link Blog.
I was just looking through the new ones the other day. There look to be some really interesting books on there.

Currently reading "The Girl from Junchow" sequel to "The Russian Concubine" by Kate Furnivall - very interesting.

Also finished Steig Larsson's two books (described in earlier posts) and can hardly wait for the third due to be released in May 2010 in Canada.

I have "The Book of Negroes" on my bookshelf and have been told it is riveting. May be my Christmas read this year.

Any new suggestions? I am always looking for a good read
