I'm 3/4 way through this now and it's really good, started out thinking it was going to be a boring love story but it took an unexpected twist

Intriguing... I can't wait to finish uni next year and be able to read books for pleasure again; I'm forever reading academic publications! No room for leisure! :laugh:

I did buy that 100 Year Old Man Who Disappeared... book after reading the praise for it in this thread and managed to read that on a bus journey home which was pretty good!

50 odd pages into a Feast for Crows :D

Just read 'Catcher in the Rye', it was on the 50 books to read before you die shelf in my local library, I wish I had left it there. I hated it and I hated that i stuck with it to the end in case something actually happened! :shrug:


I will just read my Chelsea Cains again, a good serial killer always cheers me up!

Started to read lord of the rings, I detest the films they are beyond boring to me. Starting to wish I hadn't started the book. Its going to be a very long, slow slog.

Loved the first two parts of Lord of the Rings, but lost the will to live reading the third! I loved the Hobbit so much though.

Something for me to look forward too then! :D Its actually not that bad, just not the easiest of reads.

I just ignored all the Elf language and songs and bingo you get through it in no time! Its a great story just a little over done! :hugesmile:

I ordered the Rules of Attraction off Amazon on a whim and I hope I don't regret this decision :suspect: I hated the gory aspects of American Psycho but I loved Easton Ellis' imagination, so it should be better suited to me :laugh: plus it's got a lot of sex, which helps.

I steer clear of the Mummy Porn! I prefer a good murder any day!

I finished Brave New World earlier in the week, and I loved it. Very well written and thought provoking book, it stands the test of time really. :lovedup:

I've started re-reading Animal Farm now and after than I'll re-read Nineteen-Eightyfour. :love:

Niamh. 02-08-2013 01:41 PM

Finished Tiger Hills, it was good but God, it was the most Depressing book I ever read

DanaC 14-08-2013 12:51 PM

God how I hated Lord of the Rings. Much preferred the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever (best fantasy epic I ever read).

These days I listen to audiobooks far more than I read. At the moment I am listening to The Long Earth, a collaboration between Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. It is really rather good. And wonderfully narrated too, which makes all the difference.

BigSister 14-08-2013 11:52 PM

Bought Jessica Ennis autobiography the other day along with Cecelia Aherns new one when I go to London so will prob read those 2 next

Niamh. 13-09-2013 10:25 AM

Wool - Hugh Howey, I'm almost finished the 1st book of this Trilogy, it's really good

Shaun 13-09-2013 10:59 AM

halfway through The Lovely Bones at the moment... it's quite nice I suppose, but not really gripping me. A bit wet.

Chuck 13-09-2013 11:34 AM

Mrs Dalloway :love:
