What book makes you gleeful with anticipation to continue reading?
I’m reading Trollope’s Barchester Towers on my commute these days, and I’ve just reached a major point when it seems that everything will come to a head. Poor Eleanor! Oh! That wicked Mr. Slope! How will this work out?! It’s delightful in the way that only the Victorians knew how to create. I was quite agitated after this morning’s installment on the bus, and it’s hard switching over to work.
What book is deliciously agitating for you?

Well, that one for sure!
Also Pride and Prejudice, Little Women (Why don’t Jo and Laurie get married?), Poe’s short stories, much of Dickens.
I am just starting to get into Trollope. Right now I am reading “The Name of the Wind”, and I love it.
Ken Follet’s Pillars of the Earth messed me up for a good three days. I barely slept.
The curse of the high I.Q. by Aaron Cleary.
I just finished the second novel in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. It was the most entertaining book I’ve read in a long time, maybe ever.
I binge read the Art of Racing in the Rain. It impossible to set the book down.
Fifty Shades of Grey…..you have to understand the underlying message.
I love Van Reid’s Moosepath League series. Each and every one… I slow down as I get closer to the end of the book as I don’t want it to be over. I think he’s a great , classic storyteller.

History and Maine. Hard to go wrong.
The full Chronicles of Barsetshire is wonderful. Good, solid reading.
@BellaB Yes – one of my favorite series! I love the way the characters pop in and out from book to book.
The Kingkiller Chronicles
The Name of the Wind, book 1 (published in 2007)
The Wise Man’s Fear, book 2 (published in 2011)
The Doors of Stone (working title)............................. >=1
I wouldn’t care if it wasn’t such a damn good story

...consider yourself warned! I started the series not realizing it was incomplete.
Still worth it IMO, but be prepared to wait for the ending (or never get it).
Reading The City & the City was definitely a joyful experience (although the story certainly is not). I can’t remember getting through a book with such haste. All of China Miéville’s novels fill me with some level of anticipation but this is his finest work, imo. Looking forward to reading the prequel he has teased readers he will likely write. Also curious to see how on earth the BBC is going to be able adapt this for an upcoming 2018 television series. Although I could see this as a great audio play.
I’m reading a book called Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine by Gail Honeyman, and I’m loving it. I just thought I’d share because the book is very touching and funny.
It just brought tears to my eyes and the chapter before had me laughing out loud. I think that’s pretty good!
