    I also have read this so probably won't read it again. I will join in the discussion though :)

    Happy New Year to all!

    How about an online review for all who wish to review (new readers and old!) on Wednesday 30 January? Say 8pm GMT?

    It will probably take me that long too as I have quite a lot on this month. I'm doing a lot of driving at the moment so listening to a lot of 'easy-listening' audio books. I think I may download this one too.

    I will create a new thread a couple of days before the 30th and will let everyone know once it's up.

    Sounds good! I'm about a third of the way through it and liking it a lot. I may even finish it on time. :D

    Excellent! I'm going to start it in the next couple of days. It's a book I've been meaning to read for a long time. :)

    Hi guys...how we all getting along with this month's book?

    I'll definitely be finished in time for a chat session on the 30th.

    In the meantime, shall we think about our next book? How about an autobiography as OG suggested?

    Biography / autobiography is a great idea. :)

    Hmm... I'm just looking at the biographies / autobiographies on Amazon. Are we saying biogs of famous people, be they celebs, musicians or sportsmen? Or are we looking at the wider picture including people who are not normally in the public eye?

    I don't think it matters. Whichever takes your fancy I guess :)

    All - I've created the thread for next weeks discussion on the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon.

    http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?p=63856568#post63856568

    The live chat is scheduled for Wednesday 30 Jan between 8 and 9pm GMT.

    I am currently listening to the audiobook and so should easily be finished by Wednesday. Really loving it so far.

    What nominations have their been so far?

    I still haven't got round to reading Tom Daleys autobiography, and want to read the George Osborne biography that came out recently. Suppose those are my nominations if we're talking biographys
