Ive started The CLient but never got round to finishing it, hould do really it started well!

Mau you have a PM!!! Kell, I dablle with the tarot occassionally, im no expert but I enjoy it but ive always been fascinated in stuff like that, hubby thinks im nuts mind!

Getting into this now, my kind of book I think!

I Cant believe no-one is reading this book

Im also getting the box set for Xmas from my mummy!!!! Yay! :angel:

I liked the Voyage of the Dawn Treader I had the box set as a kid and I asked her to get them for me from her attic but she couldnt find them so guess what I will be getting for xmas!!!!! And I cant wait

I have just started reading this one this week while I was away on holiday, too early to give any first mpressions but I will post here when im done!

Anyone reading it and how are you finding it?? Still not got my copy but I remember the story well enough to discuss it with other members!

I had the whole series of books as a kid and watched the BBC dramatised version too, cant wait for this to come out on the pics!

Just to let people know I ordered this book from amazon back at the end of August and im still waiting, Just got another email today saying it will be delayed another 4-6 weeks, they must have problems sourcing it to stock it. My advice is get this one from the library, its a fantastic book

Just whichever grabs my attention first really, not pre set thoughts. Very possibly a mood thing

We all read but we all like different things. Andy and I have swapped books on occassion but at the minute I think I read more than he does.

Its all your fault im here lol

Isnt it always the way

Ive got it if you want to borrow it, I liked it that much I never returned the copy I got from school :oops: They did say I could keep it though

Thanls to Michelle I now have a JD Robb to get stuck into, ill let ou know how I find it when im done

Ive got to get into these books, after ive finished my current reading list ill get to it I promise

In school we read all the usual suspects like romeo and Juliet but the book that had the biggest impact was a book called Z for Zaccariah and it was all to do with nuclear warfare and the aftermath, it got me really interested in the events of hiroshima and I went on to read many other books of a similar nature. We also read of Mice and Men which I really enjoyed. Out of school I read almost everything by enid blyton - that lady was a saint!

ok, not my usual type of book but I gave it a go. It is full of gritty Northen humour (which is probably why I enjoyed it so much). The story is set in Wigan and is the tale of three generations of women from the same family living out their own lives. Nan is suffering with dementia Mum is suffering with an adolescent daughter and Charlie is suffering with her mum and nan! When I was reading this story I felt very involved with the characters, in particular, charlotte. I could really identify with this kid, it was like reading my own life story at some points (michelle if you ever read this you will know what I mean). The humour and wit was good but the story did jump about as each women told their side of each situation, this can be quite offputting sometimes. The ending I thought left plenty of scope for a sequel as a lot of loose ends were left dangling, slightly annoying really because when you get to the end your left wanting to know what heppened next. Ah well, it was a good read and kept me entertained, if anyone wants to borrow it just let me know and Ill chuck it in the post. Lou x

OK ive been a bit slow getting through this one but it is by no means the fault of the book. Its fantastic so far, im sure there has been a laugh in every single chapter so far. Not only that it is quite a realistic read especially if your from up t'north like me!! The use of witty realism is insightful and reminds me alot of when I was a teenager struggling to grow up and deal with the world. Very perceptive, get a copy and read it!

mmmm great idea this list well ive just ordered new books from amazon and I still need to get my reading circle book but after that I wouldnt mind trying Something by Terry Pratchett JD Robb Tom Clancy Please suggest some good starter books for these authors!

Yep I do that too

I have a copy you can borrow, as long as i get it back, just bung me the postage and ill send it over!!!!

Another of my fave reads is a story of Bioterrorism A situation here New York City is under threat of a major bio terrorist attack. An aggrieved russian taxi driver decides to wreak havoc on a nation that denied him the American dream, or so he thinks. Dr Jack Stapleton is a character that appears in some of Robin Cooks other books, he is a forensic pathologist assigned the task of investigating a case that on the surface looks like pneumonia, but a series of unexpected coincidences arouses his suspicions to a series of seemingly unrelated deaths. I really like Robin Cooks books and have not yet read a bad one, the best way to describe is work would be to sya its like a medical suspense/thriller. A thrilling storyline that gets you gripped from the start, again there is medical terminology but not too much to distrct you from the main story, but the medical facts in there make the story more believable to those in the know (So to speak). If you are intrigued by the theory behind bio-terrorism, then this is a book for you. Other books I have read by the same other have been equally as good, one you all might be familiar with is Outbreak which was cast as a film starring Dustin Hoffman a few years back, if you liked that you will ove this!!!!

A terrifying True Life Thriller concerning the spread of the deadly ebola virus. A virus so intent on destruction it will wipe out 90% of anything it comes into contact with, so you can imagine the terror that swept the US when it infected a monkey house 10 miles from the White House. The thing that captivated me with this book was that it was a true story and being a microbiologist the story was also very topical, I read it at the time that the spread of smallpox was a threat as a biological weapon. A very compelling story, that chills you to the core The actual events it describes occured between 1967 and 1993 and the narrative is based on interviews and facts. I have read this book so many times and I am still facinated every time I read it, the story is quite medical but its easy to follow the situations and events, I think you would understand the true horror behind the scenes if you are familiar with Ebola and biological sciences but dont let that put you off what I would recommend as a great read.
