Happy New Year Everyone!

Time for a New Year Book Club Thread.

Feel free to share what you're reading or listening to throughout the year. You can also add comments on what you liked about the book or not if you like.

Each reads at their own pace, whether this means one book a year, one book a month, two books a week, or a personal goal you're shooting for.

This is a fun way to keep track of your progress and see what you've accomplished at the end of the year. And maybe you'll find out that other people have similar tastes as you do... 8-)



The 2011 Club thread can be found here.
Cheers, Ava.

I didn't have such a busy reading year -- finished on 37 books, I think (I need to update my 2011 thread.) This year, as usual, I shall be aiming for 52 books, and we'll just see how it goes. :D

1. Othello by Wm. Shakespeare. (Start the year as I have no intention of going on. Great read.)
2. The Right to Speak by Patsy Rodenburg. (About acting and speaking and I regret to see how much goes straight over my head. Something I'll work on and reread.)
3. Acting - On and Off Stage. (Sensing a theme here?)
4. Moon over Manifest by Clare Vanderpool. (I picked this up very randomly, but it's a really excellent YA read.)
5. Passage by Connie Willis. (I love Willis' writing, and this is a brilliant page-turner novel about near death experiences with just super-lovely characters.)
6. Last Dragon by J.M. McDermott. (Recorded by my good self for iambik.com. Will link here when it's available.)
7. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. (Yes, I'm late to the party. Awesomely detailed update of the Dracula story. Well-worth reading for anyone tired of sparkly vampires.)
8. Pulchritude by Ana Mardoll. (I'm recording this feminist fairy tale for the author. It's very cool!)
9. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, translated by Lucia Graves. Spanish history, mysterious writers, a Cemetery of Forgotten Books, and an amazing translation here. Unexpectedly funny, dark and sad by turn. Highly recommended.
10. Patricia Brent, Spinster by Herbert Jenkins. Review here.
11. Justine by Lawrence Durrell (I loved the beginning, flagged a little in the middle, but it was great overall.)
12. Far-away Stories by William J. Locke (Will be recording at least one of these very soon!)
13. The Ring and the Rose by William Thackeray
14. The Child Garden by Geoff Ryman
15. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir A CD
16. A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley
17. The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
18. The Demon-trapper's Daughter by Jana Oliver
19. Un Lun Dun by China Mieville
20. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
21. Machine by Jennifer Pelland
22. Tranquility's Blaze by Krista D. Ball
23. Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landry
24. Living Alone by Stella Benson
25. Cleopatra's Moon by Vicky Alvear Shector
26. Some Do Not... by Ford Madox Ford
27. No More Parades by Ford Madox Ford
28. A Man Could Stand Up-- by Ford Madox Ford
29. Screen Acting (1921) by Mae Marsh
30. Problems of the Actor (1918) by Louis Calvert
31. The Art of Acting and Public Reading (1922) by Rollo Anson Tallcott
32. Wings and the Child by E. Nesbit
There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!

Books

1. Incident de personne by Eric Pessan :|
2. Le jour ne se lève pas pour nous by Robert Merle :) Really well written as usual, but not his best or most exciting story. Still, if you like submarines...
3. Sentimental Exorcisms by David Derry :D Nice short stories, dark humor, lovely!
4. Total Khéops by Jean-Claude Izzo. :( The main character is way too complex, and it does not bring anything to the story. Hard to relate to.

Audiobooks:

1. Les liaisons dangereuses by pierre Choderlos de Laclos. :D
2. The Stone Gallows by C. David Ingram. :clap: Asolutely fantastic! Read by one of LV's most thanked readers, and really gripping.

I'm reading a couple of books to see if I'd like to record them for LibriVox

The Octopus: A Story of California by Frank Norris - We only have McTeague in the catalog. This is his first installment in his planned trilogy, The Epic of Wheat (he died before he finished the trilogy, leaving only this novel and The Pit complete), and deals with the fight between the railroads and the farmers in central California. It's based on a real historical incident called the Mussel Slough Tragedy.

Herman Melville: Mariner and Mystic by Raymond Weaver - A biography of Melville that led to the Renaissance in Melville's writings, particularly with respect to Moby-Dick.

In audiobook form:
Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry, read by John Lee (non-LibriVox)
Right Ho, Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse, read by Jonathan Cecil (also non-LibriVox, though we have an excellent version of this book read by Mark Nelson)

I just finished:

1. A Storm of Swords (George R R Martin)
2. The Giver (Lois Lowry, a reread from my youth. I wanted to see how it stood the test of time, it was still great)
3. A Damsel in Distress (PG Wodehouse... hands down my favorite non-Wooster/Jeeves Wodehouse. I ADORED it)

I've just started Middlemarch by George Eliot for my Chunksters bookclub. Really enjoying it so far!

I read this one last year, and while it's probably okay as a youth book, it fell completely through for me. Of course, it strongly reminded me of Ayn Rand's Anthem, and I constantly compared those two books. Result: Anthem is better, which I'd like to recommend this way. :wink: And this one's been librivoxed! :mrgreen:

I enjoyed Anthem well enough (which I listened to on Librivox), I generally enjoy Rand, but I don't think a child would be able to get it :). I read the book first when I was 11, and at that age it amazed me. I think it was the first time that a book as me to actually *think* about what was happening, and to draw my own conclusions. Now that I'm older, I noticed a lot of logistical issues with the distopian society, or repetitiveness, but I expected that, hehe. I saw an article which compared it to Fahrenheit 451, which I need to read, but that it was simply geared for a much younger audience.

You know, in America, it was one of the top five most challanged books by parents in school systems. Parents said it was "too dark," "too complicated and heavy," and promoted "civil rebellion." That sort of things really drivea me nuts. We should challenge our children, not the books.

When I picked it up I did not know it was aimed at children, so I was greatly disappointed by it. Had I read it... years ago, it would have been different, I'm sure.

I agree with you on challenging people instead of books. Unfortunately these days you can live as total "recluse" without letting anything unpleasant touch you for all your life...
