ModCloth's Shelf Life discussion

Hey Book Smarts Members! Summer is almost upon us! What book will you be bringing with you to the beach? Be sure to check out out latest giveaway for a chance to win one of our Books of the Month! http://blog.modcloth.com/category/boo...

I'll be bringing "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. My copy of this book is soo loved but you know what? I can never ever get tired of this story. LOVE it.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I could start this series over and over again!

I'm currently on the fifth Canto of Dante Alighieri's "Purgatorio" and am very much enjoying it. I read The Inferno this past fall and now that school is out I have time to read the other two in the comedy. I definitely recommend continuing the tale to others who have read The Inferno.
And if you haven't read The Inferno go read it!

Just finished No Country for Old Men. I just can't get enough Cormac McCarthy.

Also about to read Water for Elephants. I'm not a big historical fiction person, but I do love the contrast of glamour/grit of things like the circus. I've also been thinking lately about the lost arts, and I think circus performers fall into that category.

I'm fluttering all over my to-read shelf this month:

Another Life Altogether: A Novel by Elaine Beale
Delicate Edible Birds: And Other Stories by Lauren Groff
Bitter Chocolate by Lesley Lokko
Mattaponi Queen: Stories by Belle Boggs
And the Heart Says Whatever by Emily Gould

So far it's pretty good. Although I generally find long books a bit intimidating I'm determined to keep on with this one.

I just finished "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" by Stieg Larrson which was mind-blowingly great, I can't wait to read the rest of the series. Now I'm starting " A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce

I also just finished reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and I loved it so much I had to go out and get "The Girl who Played with Fire" right away. Great choice!

I am about to start listening to The Time Traveller's Wife.

I will be toting "A Spell of Winter" and "The Coffee Trader" with me for the next couple weeks. :)
