I know we have Goodreads.com for this, but some of you may not participate. Feel free to tell us what else you're reading here.

I'm reading Austin Grossman's Soon I Will Be Invincible.

I just finished "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," and John Hodgman's fake-knowledge book called "More Information Than You Require." One of them was hilarious.

I'm also going back-and-forth to Neil Gaiman's collection of short stuff called "Fragile Things." It's ok.

I'm reading Gary Shteyngart's SUPER SAD TRUE LOVE STORY and really liking it. It's early, though.

Trying to finish Ander Monson's VANISHING POINT but I am just NOT feeling it. Every time I pick it up I get sleepy.

All the talk of Tana French on the 2011 thread makes me think I need to get some mystery back in my life. Maybe THE LIKENESS is on deck if I can get my hands on a copy.

Just finished Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Now reading I Curse the River of Time by Per Petterson, which is lovely, along with Zeitoun. Next up is Franzen's Freedom: a Novel. I suspect it will make me crabby.

Am now reading The Likeness by Tana French, loving it. Can't wait to get my hands on another copy of The Girl Who Played with Fire - love those books. I had it from the library and ran out of time... I also just had one called The Postmistress which looked good but didn't get to read it, will get it again.
Going through the backlist of B&B for other ideas...!
