Finished Jane Austen's Emma ..Seem to read more classics now I've got a Kindle. Enjoyed it more for the picture it draws of late 18th earky 19th century society .. the plot isn't up to much .. but its portrayal of privileged young women of the period is excellent. Its disturbing how unemancipated they were despite their comfortable lives.

I am reading "The Likeness" by Tana French, it's ok, but I wouldn't pass it on to any of my friends and I won't be looking for any more books by the same author. My next book to read is either Harlan Coben's "The Innocent" or Richard Montanari's "The Rosary Girls" has anybody read either of these?

Yes,both are excellent authors,I cant recall all the details of The innocent,but I know I have never not enjoyed a Harlan Coben book!,and The Rosary girls is fantastic,quite disturbing,as are all Richard Montanari's Byrne and Balzano books(although I didn't find play dead as good as the others)

Thanks, I look forward to both the above then, I don't ever give up on a book, but I will be pleased to finish "The Likeness" finding it a bit of a slog tbh

I've just started reading "Look Back In Hunger", Jo Brand's autobiography.
I only read a few pages when I'm in bed at night, so it may take a little time to complete !

I've just read 'Imagine This' by Julia Baird one of John Lennon's half sisters - it was a really good read, I didn't want to put it down.

I've just finished that. I'm now about to begin Started Early Took My Dog.
I do like a book with a protagonist I can fall in love with.

Started reading "45" by Bill Drummond, while in the bath.

So far it's been a very entertaining stream of conciousness. His title for a Diana tribute song made me laugh out loud too.

Just discovered Mark Gimenez and am reading Accused which I had to run out and buy after finishing the Colour of Law. Absolutely unputdownable stuff and, just for the record, I hate Grisham and Turow in case anyone's hesitating on Gimenez due to not liking laborious court case novels.

Hello. I'm a lurker! Just thought I would say hi! I'm reading Ordinary Thunderstorms by William Boyd. Very good so far.

Anybody Out There by Marian Keyes.

Last of the Walsh family books, which I've really enjoyed, although looking forward to reading something completely different now.

Wish Keyes would write a story about the sister called "Helen".

Oh, it's quite interesting! I bought a bunch of books from that sale, haven't started any of them yet.

I'm reading the second of the Name of the Wind books by Patrick Rothfuss - really interesting new fantasy. Bit of a lack of good female characters, but otherwise a lot of fun.

"Lost In Music" by Giles Smith, brilliant if you grew up in the 70's/80's and are into music.....
