    Did you ever read the Outlander? It's one of my favorite guilty pleasures, a series which is a blend of time travel, history and super sexy romance. The 7th in the series is coming out I think in the next week or so.

    I'm thinking about reading along with Kelsey's "Advanced Literature Study: The Contemporary Novel" class .. here's what's on their agenda for this school year:

    Tortilla Curtain, TC Boyle (they just finished this one, so I'm skipping it)
    The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
    Empire Falls, Richard Russo (I've already read this one, won't read agin)
    The Road, Cormac McCarthy (I've read this already, too, but will prob read again)
    Bel Canto, Ann Patchett
    Atonement, Ian McEwan
    A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini (I read this, and LOVED it)
    The Glass Castle, Janette Wells
    The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brian
    Books under consideration:
    Olive Kitteridge, Elizabeth Strout
    The Known World, Edward P. Jones (I read this, but can't remember if I liked it...)
    Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy, Carlos Eire

    I need to finish up Middlesex (almost done) so I can get started on The Namesake. I think they begin reading it next week.

    Also ... my co-worker Megan has been talking about starting a wine/reading group, and wants to read classics -- she's proposing Lolita as the first book, so if I join that group, I will be reading that soon, too!

    We need to get together again soon!

There are older discussions that can be found by searching discussions. If there is any way the group administrator can help further feel free to ask one of us. If you don’t own the book the list can be found at the top in the group description or at http://www.listology.com/content_show.cfm?content_id=22845.
