:joker: My mum and my brother both used to love Isaac Asimov books. They said he was fantastic! Some of them have been turned into movies, like I Robot. Loved that. I've never read any history books, but i could get into it. I especially like Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt history. Both fascinating!

Agreed another good read and plenty books out there so loads to choose from.

The Book was called the Lovely Bones, it was written from the perspective of the murdered girl. It made me sad.:bawling:

That's a different book, Cherie. Bones is a tv show about forensic pathologist Katy Reichs. But it sounds like a great read! :hugesmile:

oh :joker: I wonder who wrote the Lovely Bones then, I think you would like it.

It sounds like a very sad story. I'd need a lot of tissues! :bawling: Is it expensive to buy a book on Kindle? How does it work?

Bit like an online shop, you need to register with Amazon, then you can search for books by name or author and buy it. Alot of ebooks are cheaper than the print version. So basically you choose your book and download it. They have sales and stuff as well where you can get books for a 1.00 and I think there is a library where you can swop books with other people but I haven't done it so don't know how that works!

£ 1 ? That's a bargain! :amazed: It sounds cheaper than buying books. I like it. Have you got one? :hugesmile:

It's strange, because the amount of tissues I uses, is the exact measurement I use for defining whether a film is any good or not.

I like a good story, don't mind if it's sad or not. I have seen The Lovely Bones sounds heartbreaking, but interesting. Both the movie and the book. :hugesmile:

yes but my kids are always borrowing it :idc:

:laugh2:

I do have an IPad. Can i use that to download books?

Have you ever seen life is beautiful, The Italian film?

Yes, i have it on dvd. Brilliant movie. Is there a book as well? :hugesmile:

I don't know - I just thought it would be a good film for you to watch. There's probably a script book you could find at least.

The movie is wonderful. If there is a script book i would love to read it. That screenplay is amazing! :lovedup:

The book is so much better than the book.

I love Patrica Cornwell and Kathy Reichs books - I also wanted to be a forensic scientist.

Jody Picoult is quite a good author for easy reads - she wrote My Sisters Keeper (again book miles better than movie) and lots of others - my favourite by her is called Nineteen Minutes about a bullied boy who goes on the rampage in a school and kills loads of pupils.

Have you seen Bully? That was a great movie, about some kids who kill one of their friends, who had been bullying them. I'd love to read the book.

:laugh: that is like something I would write, I know what you mean and I agree!

Which one is better? Book or movie? :suspect::laugh:

Yes you can download the Kindle App on it.

book every time.

Oh, thanks! I'll do that! It will save me money. Books are so expensive these days! :eek:

Vanessa you should read Harry Potter.

I would like to. Loved the movies! Did you read them? Are they any good? :hugesmile:

They really are. Easy to read too.

I will give it a go. I love a book where you can get lost and forget your everyday life for a bit. :flutter:

You'll love Harry Potter then :love:

I want to read the Lord of the rings books as well, but they're so big. :laugh:

Only books I am reading at the moment is the A song of ice and fire series, before that I read a Sophie Kinsella book
Going to the library is a good idea!

What kind of books are they? I don't know them. But i don't read much, so my knowledge is limited. :laugh:

If I fancy something light I like crime books by David Baldacci or James Patterson... they're all kind of similar though :laugh:

I'll try those. Love crime stories, where there are investigations and mysteries. :hugesmile:

I love whodunnits, have read every Agatha Christie book apart from a couple she wrote about the Supernatural, didn't fancy them much.

Game of thrones tv show is based on the books, they're quite long though! and Kinsella is like easy chick lit books

Agatha Christe! Yes! I'd love to read her books! Love the tv show and movies! :lovedup:

There are plenty (almost too many) books in the crime fiction genre, Karin Slaughter as previously mentioned is good, but I found her books very formulaic and once you've read one you've read them all.

I would highly recommend getting a Kindle if you enjoy reading, a hell of a lot of books are completely free, and if you use Amazon a lot you can sign up to prime, so along with the free delivery on stuff you get access to the lenders library.

I've not long finished Hostile Witness #1 which was free and was really good. The Millennium Trilogy (Girl with the dragon tattoo) is also very good.

If you like a bit of historical fiction mixed in with crime, check out the Shardlake books by CJ Sansom.

Thanks, Verbal! I want do dowload the app on my Ipad. Both of those books sounds amazing! :D

You're going to be the TIBB record holder for number of books read after this.

:joker: I'll give it a go. I think the IKindle is a good idea. I can read the first chapter. Then i will know if i like it or not.
