I'm not a big reader, unless the book really grips me. Like when i read the Da Vinci Code. Loved that. Read it in a couple of hours on my plane to Italy.

I also liked 50 Shades, funnily enough.
Which books do you think i should read that i will enjoy? I never know which ones to read and i thought i'd ask you lot, who seem to know your books.

That sounds very interesting, Ammi thanks. How is the movie different from the book? I often wonder these things.

...hmmm, the character in the movie is not nearly so complex and much 'lighter' but I think in the time it was made, that kind of movie was much more popular and saleable...although there are some aspects of Holly's character that do come across in the movie....I have to say on the whole, whenever I have read a book, I don't think the movie version of it has quite been as good but there is much more scope in a book to relay characters more...

idk what to recommend off the back of 50 Shades/ The Da Vinci Code because I haven't read either and they seem awful

but you can't go wrong with a bit of Fahrenheit 451

What's that about, Shaun? Sounds intriguing.

If you liked the Da Vinci code you could read Dan Brown's other stuff if you haven't already, Angel and Demons is the one that came before it and I think it was better, or his Deception Point and Digital Fortress were both pretty good

If you like psychological crime thrillers Ness, try Sophie Hannah's books.

Dorothy Koomson is another writer I'd absolutely recommend, she wrote the Ice Cream Girls, recent adapted for TV. They changed the ending in the TV adaptation, wish they hadn't as it was much better in the book.

Thanks! I think i would enjoy crime thrillers. Do you watch Bones? Apparently that series was originally a series of books. Kathy Reichs wrote them.

I don't really read fiction, but I did read the body farm on holiday years ago, when there wasn't much to do, and I thought it was a really good book, so if you're into crime thrillers then I would definitely recommend Patricia Cornwell.

I think id' love that. Murder mysteries and investigations really interest me. Her books have been turned into tv shows, haven't they?

I have no idea. I just remember that it kept me hooked, and the fact it was about a serial killer set in Quebec as opposed to London/US, made it interesting.
