It's part one of five, and they've been written over the last thirty years. I only started it the other night. Might do a review when I finish.

Anyway I bought the fifth one in a second hand store, not knowing it was part of a series, I really wanted to read it but I've a compulsion to start series from the beginning. So I got the others from amazon.

Oh cool. I love it when there is a series of books. My favourite for that is Stephen Kings 'The Dark Tower' which goes over 7 books.

So that is the first book?

Yep, and I found out after I bought them on amazon that I could have gotten the first three in a compilation.

Urgh no! Compilations are rubbish. The individual books are much better.

Reading some shite book called "Trespass" by Rose Tremain just now.. Bought it as it was in the bestsellers list and her last novel won some award but so far not doing much for me. Bought a Mark Billingham book today (Bloodline) though so may start that instead.

[Chuck]

For my trip in June

[Shaun]

Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing", only half a scene in because I read all the introductions too

[Niamh.]

Just started Room by Emma Donoghue
It's told by a five year old boy, it's quite sweet so far but I think it will get a bit disturbing. It's a Frtizl type story

[Jessica.]

I'm not reading anything at the moment but when I finish watching glee I'm gonna read Catching Fire, the second book of The Hunger Games series.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

An American volunteer for the Republic in the Spanish Civil War, he joins a band of guerillas in the mountains to prepare to blowing up an important bridge. I'd recommend it although Hemmingway's writing style is a bit unorthodox, took me a while to get into it

The QI Book of the Dead is a book about life. What an awful thing life is. It's like soup with lots of hairs floating on the surface. You have to eat it nevertheless. GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Around 90 billion people have existed since the human race began. From this huge number, the bestselling QI team selected 600 of the finest examples of our species and researched them in depth, distilling this immense banquet of life into an exquisite tasting menu of six-dozen crisp, racy mini-biographies, where the internationally and immortally famous rub shoulders with the undeservedly and (until now) permanently obscure. The object is to learn something about what it means to be alive and how we can make the most of the time we have. The QI Book of the Dead compares and contrasts the different ways individual human beings cope (or fail to cope) with the curves that the uncaring universe throws at us. Collected into themed chapters with thought-provoking titles such as ‘There’s Nothing Like a Bad Start in Life’, ‘Man Cannot Live by Bread Alone’ and ‘Is That All There Is?’ here is a chance to share the secrets of the Dead, to celebrate their wisdom, to learn from their mistakes, and to marvel at their bad taste in clothes. The man who is not dead still has a chance. LEBANESE PROVERB *We don’t rule out the alternative possibility of a compassionate God whose motives are beyond our ken
