November 2019 - What are you reading?

Happy All Saints' Day. There are 61 days left in the year, so what 1001 books are you reading in this final stretch?

I've just started Memory of Fire, Volume 1: Genesis which looks like a perfect subway book -- lots of short snippets.

Trying desperately to finish Pilgrimage.

I just started The Book of Daniel.

I really want to finish The Man without Qualities by the end of the year. I feel like I have been reading it forever, but I am only halfway through.

Just finishing H is for Hawk. Dying to start this month's group read but I have another non-1001 assignment to finish first.

Like always, I have many that I would like to get to! I am currently on the last 100 pages of Americanah. I have found my copy of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall from the shelf. And would also like to reread The Handmaid's Tale before I read The Testaments.

>1 ELiz_M: It is a bit like the countdown to Christmas! My Goodreads profile keeps telling me how many days are left in the year to finish all the reading!

I am just about to start The Cement Garden by Ian McEwan and I am determined to finish reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen as I have been reading this by installments for the last six months.

I have spent eternity reading The Count of Monte Cristo. Its's been great, and I'm finally almost done. After this, I'll spend whatever is left of eternity to read Vanity Fair.

>8 MartinBodek: I tend to have a classic and a smaller book going at the same time - just so I can get something finished! I love classics and always have one on the go, but they are not the most rewarding of reads if you like to fill in your Goodreads list of books read!

I thought of you the other day when I was going through some books my Pa left me. There is a collection of Alexandre Dumas (about 25) from the 1920s. They are the most gorgeous books. It will be quite the project to read through them all but it is such a treasure as most of them are not in print.

>9 JayneCM: That's exactly how I live my life: several books at hand while I plow through an interminable one: bathroom, nightstand, living room, workbag. Everywhere.

And *you* thought of *me*? Awww. :-)

>3 japaul22: That's my hope too.

Still reading Memory of Fire, Volume 1: Genesis and Anniversaries and, for something quicker, finished Oberland.

I've been in a reading slump for the last couple of weeks, but end of the year panic is creeping in, so after I finish my current non-list book, I'll try Sula I think.

I finished Pilgrimage! And overall I am very glad I read it.

Now I'm reading Mayor of Casterbridge.
