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...

That sounds like a book i would enjoy. I haven't read any Truman Capote books. I only know about the movie, because i love Philip Seymour Hoffman. Are there many of those books?

50 Shades was amazing! What's not not love about it? It's well kinky. My kind of book!

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

If you are not already with one, join a library, then you can try different authors and if you don't like them you don't lose out. Alternatively if you invest in a Kindle it lets you read the first chapter for free so you can decide if you like it or not. Reading is very subjective. I am currently working my way though the Karin Slaughter books, Crime Fiction.

That is a great idea, Cherie. I might just do that. Wow! I love crime fiction. What's that book about? Sounds really good!

Murders with a bit of gore!, and then the investigation
, the story is well put together and keeps you hooked right until the end. I'm reading Criminal at the moment

You can't go wrong with a John Grisham, have read all his books and am always waiting on the next one to be published

Have you read any Vanessa?

No, but i've seen some of the movies. I like The Client and i've been told that the book is wonderful. I so want to read that one.

Plenty to choose from! I always find if I have read a book, the movie is a bit of a let down, but maybe that is just me!

Grisham book usually make amazing movies. Same goes with Steven King, who i love! Do you like his books? I want to read them, but they look a bit scary.
