For me, definitely Requiem For A Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. I wish I had not read it. I know I could have stopped any time, but pushed through to the end anyway.

I love cross-stitching, quilting, stained glass, baking and walking with my dog.

That wasn't meant to be taken too literally ;)

I say squirrels... the only difference between a squirrel and a rat is the marketing!

There is a breeder who lives right around the corner from us! I had always wanted a Sphynx, and when we arrived in Cape Town I headed straight for his cattery and ordered my little naked boy! Number 2 Sphynx belonged to a friend of mine who is moving to Australia and asked me to re-home him...

Too true! I have had to put my cross stitch on hold for that very reason. Spynx number 2 will be joining our family today ~ just so long as I don't have to put my reading on hold!!

Mine is my Sphynx cat, Molly.. who, even as I type is making it very difficult for me to do so!!

Anna Karenina ~ Leo Tolstoy East of Eden ~ John Steinbeck The Secret History ~ Donna Tartt

The last book I cried in was Neil Gaiman's Stardust.. but they were happy tears :) .

40+++ :) . Have been reading exer since I was taught how to!!

Thank you for the review... I will be looking out for that title when I am next in a book shop. I love books set in India, and have only yesterday finished reading The God of Small Things, which I was sad had come to an end. I love Vikram Seth and Rohinton Mistry and look forward to reading...

East of Eden is in my top 3 books of all time. I have yet to read Grapes of Wrath, but it is definitely in the pile of books to be read. I would have to say that my second best John Steinbeck book is Cannery Row ~ anyone else enjoy this book? His characters are legend... I prefer this book to Of...

The book I ordered finally arrived... Nana by Emile Zola. Can't wait to get started :)

A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth. I still have my bookmark in the place where I stopped reading, and who knows, one day I might pick it up and tackle it again.

Well BooknaMug, decided to take your advice and have finally finished it. It won't be going onto my 'to be read again' shelf, but I'm glad that I did stick with it. I enjoyed it more the further I got into it, and I enjoyed the style in which it was written.

Aahhh, thanks for the reminder. I remember reading the book (Nana) around 20 years ago and really loving it. It is definitely on my 'to read again' list ~ if I am lucky enough to find a copy. Anyone else read it?

Have had it lying around for quite a while, and after having finished reading Love and Louis XIV ~ Antonia Fraser, this a.m., started to read JS&MN this p.m. I am really enjoying it and am off to bed to read for a couple of hours.

I have been lurking for long enough so thought I had better introduce myself. I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I am obviously a book lover, else I wouldn't be where I am right now ~ right ;) . I have never been a member of a book club... I think this will suit me a lot better :) . I still...
