What have you read in March?

I think the only book I've finished this month was PG Wodehouse's Heavy Weather. Moby Dick's taking me a long time, as I'm reading it very slowly (haha, I read one short chapter five times in a row!)

Any Norwegians here? :)

One, at least. And there have been a few through that I believe have stopped visiting.
 
Do you like P.G.Wodehouse Oystein? (sorry can't do your crossed O ) I really love his humour, particularly enjoy his Jeeves and Wooster books and also the Blandings series.
 
In March I read the following.

Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha - Roddy Doyle
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides
I Claudius - Robert Graves
The Secret History - Donna Tartt
Purple Hibiscus - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier
 
Well, March finishes tomorrow and I know I won't have my current read finished by then, so my reads for March, in reverse order, were:

Tortilla Flat, John Steinbeck (still reading)
Gilead, Marilynne Robinson
The Old Man And The Sea, Ernest Hemingway
The Snapper, Roddy Doyle
Burning Bright, John Steinbeck
The Moon Is Down, John Steinbeck

The Commitments, Roddy Doyle
The Story Of Mr Sommer, Patrick Süskind
Earth And Ashes, Atiq Rahimi
Tamburlaine Must Die, Louise Welsh
Bonjour Tristesse, Françoise Sagan
The Pearl, John Steinbeck
The Outsider, Albert Camus

It would have been more but I've been busy on other things this week. And Gilead dragged.
 
Well, I won't get my current finished for a while (got an essay I'm supposed to be writting for tomorrow and lots of art to finish tomorrow), so heres my meagre list. :eek:

The Wind Singer - William Nicholson
Slaves of the Mastery - William Nicholson
Lord of the Shadows - Darren Shan
Koyasan - Darren Shan
Middlesex - Jeffrey Eugenides

Also read 4 volumes of manga. May seem like mostly junk to some people, but I'm working my way to the better stuff on my shelves. :p
 
Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates (still reading)
The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte (still reading)
Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood
Close Range: Wyoming Stories by Annie Proulx
Martha Peake by Patrick McGrath
Youngblood Hawke by Herman Wouk
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
 
Just finished Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes, and have now started Never Let Me Go (which I won't finish this month :rolleyes: ).
 
Here's my final list for March:
Shalimar the Clown-Salman Rushdie
Broken Verses-Kamila Shamsie
Never Let Me Go- Kazuo Ishiguro
Dirt Music-Tim Winton
The Pearl- John Steinbeck
Reading Lolita in Tehran-Azar Nafisi
Barabbas-Par Lagerkvist
Cheap Ways to Tie the Knot-Cara Davis

I had a great month, with only one book I wasn't happy with. Shalimar the Clown was a bit of a letdown, but the rest were great.
 
Hmm, let's see:

I just started reading The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood, but I won't finish that in time. Also, I started reading Emma by Jane Austen but got bored and may not pick it up again. So here's the ones I did finish:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
Full Blast by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes
Eleven on Top by Janet Evanovich
The Crystal City by Orson Scott Card
 
I finished Paul Bowles Collected Stories 1939 - 1977. Good creepy stuff about colliding cultures (or better: europeans getting lost in other cultures). I'm in grad school so I also finished half of a technical book (not exactly pleasure reading, but interesting nonetheless). I've also managed to read a few dozen Sherlock Holmes short stories. Surprisingly fun. But until I'm out of school my reading list will remain rather short. :(
 
For March ...

Clive Cussler - Raise the Titanic!
Matthew Reilly – Seven Deadly Wonders
C.S. Lewis – Out of the Silent Planet
Louis L'Amore - Fair blows the wind
Ernest Hemingway - The Old Man and the Sea

Zane Grey – Black Mesa

Some H.P. Lovecraft stories. Some Neil Gaiman short stories.

Now I've started Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet. It's amusing so far.
