Happy orthodox Easter and international workers' day. What 1001 boos are you laboring over this month?

I'm nearly done with volume one of The Three Kingdoms and will probably pick up Under the Yoke next.

I started The Virgin in the Garden last night. I will read The Waves for this month's group challenge.

Reading The Tin Drum - I expected it to be heavy going but so far enjoying the hilarious characters.

I have started Women in love - 500 pages of minuscule paperback print - and expect to join the group read once the library elfs deliver a copy.

Waiting for my library to deliver Hideous Kinky.
Until then I am reading Stella Prize books, and the Miles Franklin longlist is announced tomorrow - this must be why I make so little progress on the 1001 list!

A month of rereads. Reread THe Empire of the Sun for my book club, and also read Ballard's autobiography -- the combination was really fascinating.
Now rereading Pride and Prejudice for a Jane Austen project. Hadn't read this since high school. Quite fun!

I’m finally reading something off the list! A really wonderful nonfiction book I recently read led me to pick up A Testament of Youth and Murder Must Advertise. I’m enjoying both.

I recently finished The Garden Where the Brass Band Played and am almost done with By the Open Sea. I just might have enough time for one more book during the upcoming holiday weekend.

I am finishing up my May Group challenge choice of The Waves and also Life and Times of Michael K.

Just finished Invisible Cities which was intriguing.
