Im old enought to remember Thanks

I loved the Woman in White - both book and stage version - Michael Ball was playing Fosco when I saw it and was really good, and unusually for me, I didn't have a tall person in front of me! - I liked the book better though, and thought the Moonstone was excellent, too.
Have just finished They Came To Baghdad by Agatha Christie, as recommended on the thread about her, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Reading A Christmas Carol again now as it's "that" time of year!

I've finished listening to The Twelve by Justin Cronin, very well read by Scott Brick. It's the 2nd book in the Passage series and follows a similar timescale and structure to the first book. There are lots of new characters, and a couple of new locations. The overall tone is pretty grim, there's not much light relief. I want to know what happens next and shall read the next book when it's finally published.

I've also been reading Three Men In A Boat by Jerome K Jerome for a bit of contrast. It was published in 1889, I've read it at least three times, and it still makes me laugh.

Next up are,

A Question of Identity by Susan Hill, read by Steven Pacey. The seventh Simon Serailler book. I like this series and am looking forward to this.

Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory, the third in her War of the Roses series. The paperback version so I'm actually going to have to turn pages! If the previous two books are anything to go by this will be fairly light historical romance. A nice change.

Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander.

Probably the bleakest comedy I have ever read. Incredibly bizarre premise but so funny.

Currently reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell.

Liane Moriarty- What Alice Forgot

London by Edward Rutherfurd (at nearly 1300 pages it may take me a while!) I read New York by the same author and it was a cracking read.

A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen. It's a wonderfully uplifting book.

Crimson Kiss- Lara Adrian

Finished reading The Phantom (Latest instalment of Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series)
Quite like it.

I love that series

lovely book. i now buy big issue from the lovely young man in my town. i understand what its about now.

Kind of embarrassed to admit this as I'm 21 and maybe a little to old for them but Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix, I've been doing work experience part time at a local primary school and I read the four proceeding books with some of the kids there now I'm a bit hooked on them.

Just finished 'Burley Cross Postbox Theft' by Nicola Barker.

Excellent read, dragged me in totally.

Very funny, sad in places and wonder you where it's going.

Just finished The Baader-Meinhof Complex (one of the best books I've read all year, tbh) and have taken a huge chunk out of the sequel to John Dies At The End (another of the best books I've read all year) which has the even better title This Book Is Full Of Spiders (Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It) and which is possibly even better than John Dies At The End so far.

Currently reading The People Next Door. I started this a while back, but only got through the first two chapters then decided to start something else. I'm not really sure I'm that keen on it.

That's the one that promises you'll never forget the twist isn't? Sorry to tell you this but it doesn't get much better and you'll likely guess the twist by the time you get halfway through it.

Just finished book 5 of the song of ice and fire. Moved onto under the dome by stephen king. Not really liking it though, it reads more like a soap opera than anything else, waiting for it to pick up a pace

Don't be embarrassed! Whilst they're not literary masterpieces, they are great stories and got loads of kids interested in reading. My sister didn't enjoy reading until HP. I sometimes reread a book or two, just for nostalgia

And chrono88 - I really liked that book too! I've read the whole series and think they're great!

Reading the latest of the Lucy Kincaid series by Allison Brennan and then either onto some Jojo Moyes or the second Hilary Mantel. Apparently there's going to be another one in the series too

That always bugs me- has to be one of the dumbest pieces of publicity ever. It guarantees that you'll spend the book trying to figure out what the twist is, and even if you don't ruin it by guessing, you've ruined the book for yourself by spending it all trying to guess the ending instead of enjoying the story.
A good twist is one you don't see coming- at all. You don't even KNOW there's a twist and then BAM, "where the Christ did THAT come from?"

Stupid to advertise the fact on the book cover itself.

Incendiary by Chris Cleave
The lack of punctuation and all the modal verb + of are irritating. But a good book nonetheless. 2/3 to go.

It certainly got me thinking and gave me some perspective. I'm pleased to hear there'll be a follow-up book.

I'm now reading Christmas At Tiffany's by Karen Swan. I think I'm going to enjoy this one.

I keep meaning to get the New York one out of the library, I will do next time I'm in there. They never seem to have the London one though, so I may have to buy that one myself if I like New York

I have just been reading a few little short stories available on my Kindle...

UR by Stephen King was brilliant. His take on the actual Kindle - and of course any Kindle in a SK story is not going to be just any old Kindle!

In the Tall Grass by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill - A nice little tale of terror, very good.

Mile 81 - Stephen King - another short story, reminiscent of "From a Buick 8" very enjoyable.

Finally, " A face in the Crowd" by Stephen King and Stewart O Nan. A story about death really. Very clever.

Not sure what I'm going to start now, I went through the Kindle bargains and downloaded a whole load of stuff. I'll be back to post again when I decide

Going To Sea In A Sieve - Danny Baker
