Jesus dies

"Letters Written in Norway, Sweden and Denmark" by Mary Wollstonecraft. She complains about beds a lot.

[Bollo]

Just got it for my birthday and looking forward to reading it

[Princess]

Then Came You by Jennifer Weiner, am only a few chapters in but it's good so far.

[Livia]

Dracula.... again. I love that book.

[Holly Christmas]

She's a great thriller writer, this is the second I have/am reading by her, gripping.

[LemonJam]

Cos I'm cool.

Read a trashy romance. Suddenly Single. I wanted something brain numbing to send me to sleep

OMG what a complete pile of Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

[Princess]

Started a trashy romance myself last night, Dirty Things by Jo Carneige, I have to read loads of depressing plays for my exams at the moment so wanted a bit of a change.

[InOne]

Goblet Of Fire

1 and 3 have gone missing somewhere, so thought I'd just start with 4 and blast through them all. Always like to read them about every 2 years.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I got it for free during freshers' week... it's very interesting so far

Seeker’s Mask by P.C. Hodgell

I recently read Catching Fire and Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, after reading The Hunger Games months ago, I really enjoyed them, I also read I am Number Four and The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore, there is another book which follows them but it doesn't come out til next year, and currently I am reading The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett, I have barely started but it's very interesting. Been reading a lot recently.

Finished Martina Coles Faithless at the beginning of the week, I have read all her books but have been disapointed with the last 2 she's done

Also just finished George R.R Martins, A Game Of Thrones and loved every minute of it, I started the second book in the series last night

I read a great quote from Marina Cole. When some chinless, literary snob told her "You'll never win the Booker Prize", she replied, "Good. The prize money wouldn't keep me in fags".

Just finished reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Spoiler:

I kinda predicted that Harriet wouldn't be dead, but I didn't see the serial-killing twist coming. Happy that Wernerstrom got his come-uppance but there were a couple of problems I had with the plot - surely Salander's transfer of the money to her accounts would've been noticed (although they were false accounts the banks could still surely shut them down?)

And I don't like the idea of Salander falling in love with Blomkvist.

It felt a lot like watching Forbrydelsen - not just because of the Scandinavian setting or quirky female protagonist, but the attention to detail with the characterisation and the really forthright twists (incest, rape, torture). I've got the next one so I'll read it soon

Just started Getting Away With It by Julie Cohen, it looked pretty out of my new Christmas pile and it got good reviews so hoping it's good.

[Stu]

I genuinly think those books work better as films than as books for those reasons you mentioned, Shaun. Though I love both.

[Shaun]

-needs to see both the Swedish and Daniel Craigish adaptations-

started reading The Girl Who Played With Fire earlier... I can tell I'm going to be in turmoil. I get too emotionally invested in Scandicrime.
