Not exactly a 'jolly' read, but I did enjoy it. It reminds me of Woody Guthrie!Endless:

Re: Currently reading?
I started Amber Magic (Haven Series #1) by B. V. Larson. So far I am enjoying it, and look forward to the next time I have a little bit of time to read. Hopefully it will be a good fantasy series.
Re: Currently reading?
I am reading "In the Woods" by Tana French! I like it. It's my first book from this author. I will definitely read some other books from her.

Re: Currently reading?
Recently I reread The Moomins series and it was lovely and sweet ![Smile :)](https://www.booktalk.org/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
At the moment I'm almost done with "The Blind Assassin" by M. Atwood. I absolutely loved the story inside of a story concept!
Next in line: "The Adventure of the Powder Room" by Eduardo Mendoza.

"From childhood's hour I have not been as others were
I have not seen as others saw
I could not bring my passions from a common spring
From the same source I have not taken my sorrow
I could not awake my heart to joy at the same tone
And all I loved - I loved alone"
E.A.Poe

I've read this twice; once while driving cross country to CA. I thought it was a fitting read for a cross country move.EndlessLaymon wrote:The Grapes Of Wrath by John Steinbeck.

Death in Venice by Thomas Mann. He was a contemporary of Hesse. I much prefer this book to The Glass Bead Game. Mann's prose is more melodic and I actually care about his protagonist.

Re: Currently reading?
I really enjoy Thomas Mann. I have just finished, "Buddenbrooks", which was good, but "The Magic Mountain", was fantastic. If you like "Death in Venice" you may want to try one of these.lindad_amato wrote:He was a contemporary of Hesse. I much prefer this book to The Glass Bead Game.

Re: Currently reading?
I was going to pick up Buddenbrooks. Thanks for recommending it. I don't know why I haven't read him before this, but it looks like I'm a fan now.
