Nah see that's why I don't read alot of non fiction, it would make me too depressed, especially about that poor child, such an horrific case. Anything to do with kids being hurt especially I just couldn't read, it would upset me too much

:joker: I might read that!

[Ammi]

What's it about Ammi?

...it's about a young girl in the middle of a war on an island somewhere, I can't remember....there is only one white man who tries to teach the children (and adults attend as well)...Great Expectations is one of the very few books that haven't been destroyed and the character Mr Pip becomes misinterpreted by rebel soldiers..it's quite brutal and violent...sad but uplifting as well....

Just bought it on Amazon :love:

..Oh I hope you like it..I loved it but I better refund your money if you don't...I hope it wasn't too expensive lol...

[Kizzy]

Yes, theres no violence in it though so might be a little tame for some.

[Lee.]

My neighbour recommends books by Jo Nesbo if you enjoyed Stieg Larsson's books. He's a Swedish crime writer also. I think I'll give him a try.

Ohhh I might get that too. Is it completely separate to A Song of Ice and Fire?

[Niamh.]

The book was .01p but with delivery to Ireland it cost £4 which is still good

Haven't read it myself but it's set sometime before it and fills in some of the history to the story I think

The Stand by Stephen King

make sure to get the uncut version, which is much better than the normal one(and 500 pages longer)

or the Dark Towers series by King.

Will definately buy this Kazanne, The Dad was totally forgotton in this horrific event. The CCTV footage of those older boys leading that little tot away is still etched in my memory, and the immediate thought that oh he is safe he is with some older boys, soon to be followed by the horrific reality, it is a crime I will never forget.

[Cherie]

If you like gore, the Karin Slaughter books are good.

[InOne]

Animal Farm

[Benjamin]

Freakonomics

The Dark Towers. :worship:

[Amy Jade]

The last book I read was Offspring by Jack Ketchum. I really enjoyed it. It's a horror one if you're into that, quite graphic though.

[Niamh.]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try some of those after I read the one Ammi suggested

[Niamh.]

Mister Pip arrived today Ammi!

[Ammi]

:amazed:..I hope you enjoy it....it's quite a quick read as you'll see but the story is very powerful...

[Niamh.]

Yeah I could do with something short tbh, the last few books I've read have all been really long

[King Gizzard]

is that the one where the lead character gets syphilis?

You can even click to look inside! who wouldn't want to look inside a haunted vagina

[Niamh.]

Ew Smithy :nono:

[Smithy]

Just because your vagina's haunted too niamh :hmph:

[Niamh.]

..did you ever read Mr Pip, Niamh..?...

[Jake.]

No

[Jesus.]

The Bible. I'm in it.

I don't really die.

[SharkAttack]

Try this one: Day Before Midnight by Stephen Hunter

You won't be disappointed.It helps to have some 80s memories, I'll say, but it works well. Enjoy if you can grab a copy. :)

Quote from a reader: "Each chapter is an hour, and the clock is ticking while the heroes race to avert global catastrophe. In this case, terrorist commandos have taken over a nuclear missile silo in rural Maryland, and a band of scientists, feds, Delta badasses, Vietnam vets and clutzy National Guardsmen try to prevent World War III."

River God by Wilbur Smith.

http://farm1.staticflickr.com/31/61186521_46ae0027f5.jpg

One of my fave books ever it tells the story of the egyptian kingdom from the persective of a slave and is just stunning it is preceded and followed up by other books on the subject one of which is just as amazing called the seventh scroll i would recommend anything by Wilbur Smith but especially river god.

[Niamh.]

..did you ever read Mr Pip, Niamh..?...

Took my ages to read it, I read about 80 pages and then I forgot about it, then I picked it up again on Sunday and read the whole thing in one go :laugh: It was pretty good
