The Ocean at The End of The Lane by Neil Gaiman

[Markie]

Season of Darkness, by Maureen Jennings. It's a mystery set in WW2 England, by the author of the Murdoch Mysteries. Enjoying it; very well written and gripping, not too gory.

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

[Sweetpea1]

Just starting biographies of Beatrix Potter and one of Christopher Plummer

I'm reading the Parasol Protectorate books. Love them! Steampunk, with vampires, ghosts, werewolves and a kick-ass heroine with an awesome fashion sense.

[treemom]

Besides school work, I am reading "The Still Point of the Turning World"

[Rescinded and Mended]

I'm a little behind on my reading (still need to read The Room), but I just finished up The Great Gatsby. I saw the movie and enjoyed it immensely, and was pleased to see that it followed the book pretty closely.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

[AtroposHeart]

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

[RandomTrivia]

The Ruins of Us, by Keija Parssinen - she's local, and it's the community One Read book this year. I'm halfway through, roughly.

[terranova]

The Goldfinch, the new Donna Tart. It's phenomenal so far.

[moonbeam59]

Just finished Swamplandia! by Karen Russell. I enjoyed it, had almost a magical realism feel.

[Arete]

Though Not Dead by Dana Stabenow. I love the Kate Shugak mysteries.

It is awesome, indeed! I think The Partner must have gotten it back when the strip was still running.

[Peas n carrots]

I'm trying to be highbrow lol. Currently reading Brideshead Revisited. I now have a longer commute so I'm trying to read more to pass the time.

[moonbeam59]

City of Light by Lauren Belfer. Just started, but it seems well-written so far.

[gentlegiant]

The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters.

[lizziesmom]

Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis. I highly recommend it to all FJers.

[crazyforkate]

Just finished Until I Find You by John Irving, which is excellent, though definitely warrants a TW for sexual abuse.

[JesusFightClub]

Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis. I highly recommend it to all FJers.

Fucking seconded. If you want to understand the fundie Man Of God mindset, read it.
