Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink

It's a gothic fantasy

[Shaun]

-really needs to read something that isn't Shakespeare soon, I'm beginning to think metric poetry is the norm-

[GypsyGoth]

You seem to read serious books all the time Shaun.

[Shaun]

I'm just preparing for Uni really plus I usually just read magazines if I want something light

[GypsyGoth]

That makes sense, it's a good idea.

Measure for Measure

Rereading Harry Potter for the millionth time, on Goblet of Fire at the moment.

[Stevep]

Anybody read any of these:

The Historian, The Thirteenth Tale or House of Leaves?

Thinking of buying one of them for my next read. Can anyone reccomend?

[Kerry]

Precious by Sapphire. Gritty and um..... well, be prepared if you read it

Also a film

[Chuck]

[GypsyGoth]

Are you reading that for college Chuck?

Shantaram - it's brilliant, one of the best books I've read in ages. It's a true story about this Australian guy who escapes from prison and flees to India.

Lord of the Flies by William Golding. I read this book when I was at school, but I can't truly appreciate a book until I've read it without having to analyse it. So I'm giving it another go with fresh eyes.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Order of Phoenix seemed to take forever to get through.

[Locke.]

Finished The Room. It started off crap, got better, then ended crap. Wouldn't reccommend it

My friends and I have gone like all civilised and grown up and formed a proper real life book club!
Our first book is Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult.. should be starting it in the next few days. Has anybody read it and is it any good?

A Day Called Hope - Gareth O'Callaghan

For years Gareth O'Callaghan, one of Ireland's popular broadcasters, suffered depression. As soon as he was diagnosed, Gareth began a determined fight back to health. This book describes the nightmare he and his family lived through and presents his insight, practical knowledge, and convictions in a mission to spread hope to those affected by it.

Finished Harry Potter reread on Saturday. Started one called 'The Last Letter from your Lover' by JoJo Moyes, it won Best Romantic Novel of the Year so it's right up my street.

I'm on Guardian of the Gate by Michelle Zink at the moment.

Just finished The Finkler Question by Harold Jacobson - powerful book, highly recommend it.
Just started The Slap - meh, so far.

The Junior Officers' Reading Club by Patrick Hennessey. Amazing book. A first-class insight into what it's like to serve in Afghanistan; the long stretches of mind-numbing boredom followed by short bursts of frantic, terrifying, adrenalin-fuelled exhileration. Recommended to me by someone who's done three tours of Afghanistan as one of the most true-to-life accounts he's ever read. Can't recommend it highly enough.
