They really sold me with the trailer and the preview of discussion questions! I will most likely put this one on hold from the library; HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY (By Audrey Niffenegger) : I'm listening to The Time Traveler's Wife now! By the time I finish, HFS will be out. I know they aren't related narratives, but clearly this is the season to enter the Niffenegger biblioverse (and "No," I probably won't see the movie); THE LACUNA (By Barbara Kingsolver): Umm, this may be a delayed purchase. I'll wait to see what the reviews say; A ECHO IN THE BONE (By Diana Gabaldon): Action! Adventure! Kilts! What more do you need to say! I'm there! AMERICAN ON PURPOSE (By Craig Ferguson): Comedy! Adventure! Kilts! I loved Craig Ferguson on The Drew Carey Show; but wasn't overly impressed with his opening night on The Late Late Show. However, since then, I have been hugely entertained with clips from his show and really wish we had TV in our house. As for American on Purpose, I'll get in it audiobook format (CF narrates); THE YEAR OF THE FLOOD (By Margaret Atwood): I was really impressed by The Handmaiden's Tale and I can only wonder why I haven't read more of Atwood's works. I'm reading Oryx and Crake now, which is the parallel story to TYOTF. Looking over the USAT interactive book calender, the titles from the fall lie-up which caught my eye:

I just crawled through "The Guermantes Way." I'm sure it took me longer to read it than Proust took to write it. I plan to catch up with them a bit later. My nightstand looks much like your blog logo. So did everyone read Beowulf? I understand there's a terrific new (sort of) translation. Best Thanks for the tip about the Proust “Goodreads” group.

Labor Day :-) I read two that are considered classics, but I have no idea if they are in Beowulf on the Beach or not. I read Picture of Dorian Gray through Daily Lit, and I read The Pit, by Frank Norris. I actually preferred The Pit, though it's almost forgotten nowadays. psssst – Labor Day, Michael. Labor Day :-)
