[Mistakes in books. Have you ever found one?]

There is a website that is about mistakes in books. You can search for specific books or just browse through them (right-side of the page).

Talking about mistakes, I'm pretty sure a character's name changes at some point in Stephen King's Carrie. I cannot remember which character, though - I'll have to look through the book again.

[Marley & Me by John Grogan]

My sister has been reading this book and she really likes it, which must be a good sign as she doesn't usually enjoy this style of book.

Hi, Jo.

[BBC's Big Read]

I printed off a copy of the list a few years ago and have been trying to read through the list. I've read 57 of them so far.

[Hello fellow bookworms ;)]

Welcome, Gelfling.

[Hi Guys]

Welcome to the forum, Matt. Nice to have you here.

The Remains of the Day ~ This really was a beautifully written book, the style being so elegant and graceful. I did enjoy this book, the nostalgia running throughout it being marvellously described as well as bringing quite a sad tone to the book.

The Virgin Suicides

Thank you, Gyre.

[Comics And Graphic Novels.]

Are these seven books the complete series, or will he be writing anymore?

[Where is your favourite reading place?]

I don't think I could read and walk like that. I would end up falling about all over the place.

Archangel - I have to admit that I was a little unsure if this book when reading the first 50 - 100 pages. It hadn't really grabbed me that much, but then I seemed to hit a good patch and I was away ( I read the second half of the book in one sitting last night). I really enjoyed this one - the pace was good and the story kept me interested after that slightly rough patch at the beginning. I will definitely read more from Harris.

Hello, Raine! Welcome to the forum.

[Hello from Immi]

Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll enjoy being here.

 

Do you have any favourite authors or genres?

[Rennie's Books 2008]

Yes, I think borrowing it is best. I don't fancy forking out £9 to find out it's not my cup of tea.

Thanks, Rennie.

[Hello everybody]

Welcome, Conor!

Talking about The Book of Dave, I was haing a look at it this morning in the bookshop. I wasn't too sure about it so I left it, but from reading your review, I may borrow it from the library someday.

[Hello, just joined this forum!]

Hello, Jenni!

[Hi!]

Hello! Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy it.

[Liz's 2008 List]

I've decided that I will have a go at Archangel by Robert Harris (which was a present from my very kind local second-hand bookseller ). This will be my second book by Harris as I read The Ghost last year, which I quite enjoyed.

The Jewel That Was Ours ~ Another brilliant Morse mystery. I am really enjoying reading this series - I only have a few more Morse books to go.

 

Christian Heroes: Eric Liddell ~ This is from a series which is written to allow younger readers to understand and enjoy. I first read this when I was 11, and I still enjoy reading about Liddell and his life serving God and putting his trust in Him.
