The true blood books..mind after the first one they are loads different to the tv series :laugh:

Dont bother with 50 shades of grey..its seriously crap :bored:

Lee. 11-05-2013 06:09 PM

Ooh, I hadn't even thought about those Vicky!

Are they really good?

Vicky. 11-05-2013 06:15 PM

I thought so. I took them to read when I went to lanzarote. Ended up finishing like 7 books over the space of a week :laugh:

No idea how 50 shades, (only bought the first one) became such a huge seller I gave up after Chapter 2, the dialogue is very feeble, maybe it hots up when it gets to the saucy bits but I honestly couldnt be bothered wading through it.

Stephen King's Under the Dome

I got this recently and haven't actually started it, but I've got a feeling it's gonna be good.

Glenn. 11-05-2013 07:14 PM

I started reading Under the Dome but I didn't commit to it. What I read was ok though.

-continues reading-

My intuition is never wrong, it has to be a good book :laugh:

Have you read the Hunger Games trilogy yet Lee? very easy reading but brilliant at the same time

Yes Niamh.. Absolutely loved them.

Niamh. 12-05-2013 01:18 AM

hhmmm I reckon you should try the first Game of thrones then, they're not as easy reading as the Hunger Games but they're so bloody good they feel easier than they are

I've got the first book but I'm not sure it's holiday reading.. A LOT of people to keep up with. No harm in trying though :)

Oh you have it already? go for it then, seriously, best books I've read in ages, since I finished the last one I can't get into any other books. There is more to follow but it isn't a chore cos they're so good

Marsh. 12-05-2013 01:59 AM

I read the first Hunger Games and couldn't be bothered with the others.

The story wasn't bad but the writing was abysmal. Could've been great in the hands of a better author.

'A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian' by Marina Lewycka. I always recommend this, I thought it was a really excellent book... sad, funny, thought-provoking, uplifting...
