I read this very recently and enjoyed it. Very easy pleasant reading. I'm sure you will like it.

I have read the first couple of chapters of 'Stiff' by Mary Roach, and it's a really good read so far; very interesting, and actually very funny.

I have just finished " The Paris Wife" by Paula McLain. Although a novel its essentially Hadley Richardsons story (she was Ernest Hemingways first wife). Its mostly set in Paris in the early 20s. It is absolutly wonderful and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Finished "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen, which I really enjoyed.

I have now just started "Long Song" by Andrea Levy, which is looking promising so far.

One Day is on my wish list

Currently reading The Stand (full length version) by Stephen King

Operation Fortitude - Joshua Levigne.

I've reserved that at the library Jude

I was a bit confused as there were two versions on offer. No idea which one I picked! Will it make a huge difference do you think?

There's the original version and the uncut version which was released some years later. The uncut version is a good bit longer, including many more scenes and characters who didn't make it into the original version (which was long enough in itself). The basic plot is the same, though.

I've only read the uncut version and I'd recommend you get it if you can, otherwise you'd be missing out on a few good parts. It's a huge book, but a good one.

The Dark Side of the Sun ~ Terry Pratchett's 2nd, pre-Discworld, novel.

Thank you

I looked up my reservation online and by fluke I've opted for the uncut version, happy days!

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows

The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber

Only about 8 pages in (started reading it whilst waiting at the Vets for my dog) but seems quite gripping already.

I have all but the first episode on Sky+ so I'll watch them after I've read the book

I loved this book, it's one of my favourites of all time - I found the TV series disappointing though.

About to start Diane Chamberlain's new book - The Lies We Told. Really enjoyed her others so looking forward to this.

Just finished Ancestral Vices by Tom Sharpe - Indecent Exposure next - he's hilarious, couldn't stop laughing

I envy you reading them for the first time

Heehee - it's the second time around, I read them years back and found a load of his books I had in storage - I couldn't bear to part with them

I'm reading The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes. It's a compulsive read like all her books, and I'm loving it. She's such a brilliant writer.

I should re read them but so little time and so many books still unread.

Enjoy Sid - I'm loving it

'Ginger - My Story' by Ginger Rogers

Having only read books relating to my dissertation for a few months I celebrated finishing it this weekend by picking up Germania by Simon Winder and Wolf Among Wolves by Hans Fallada.

Ooh, it must be lovely to be reading something different after lots of books related to one subject. Enjoy!

I'm still reading 'Stiff' (tree book) but have also started The Scarecrow (Michael Connelly) on audiobook. Seems pretty good so far, and it's one of my favourite narrators, which is a big factor with audiobooks.

Morbid Taste for Bones - Ellis Peters

Just started Carrion Comfort by Dan Simmons. I mostly picked it up because of the Stephen King quote on the cover calling it "one of the three greatest horror novels of the 20th century", though other books I've read on his recommendation have usually disappointed. So far it's not bad. I wonder if it was the inspiration for that X-Files episode, "Pusher"?

I also just finished reading No Name by Wilkie Collins, which was far-fetched but entertaining. It's not quite as brilliant as The Woman in White or Armadale, but Captain Wragge is another fantastic Collins character on par with Count Fosco and Miss Gwilt.

Barbara Vine- The Chimney Sweeper's Boy

Jodi Picoult; Harvesting The Heart.
