Ben Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Spent the best part of the day reading The Bones of Avignon and I'm about to retire in order to finish the last fifty pages or so. It's been an enjoyable read so far and I'm looking forward to seeing how it concludes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I read 80 pages of The Hippopotamus last night in bed. I was in stitches! I wanted to finish it very much but was too tired, I now have 20-30 to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Nearly finished The Lace Reader, by Brunonia Barry. No idea what to read next - too much choice staring at me from my bookshelves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Finished The Bones of Avignon by Jefferson Bass last night, so immediately turned my attentions to Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. I'm about three hundred pages through now and it's coming along rather nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Three hundred pages after starting it LAST NIGHT??? I'm impressed by how fast you read I have The Count of Monte Cristo on my tbr, and am looking forward to reading it, but am going to wait for a quiet few weeks.

I'm impressed by how fast you read I have The Count of Monte Cristo on my tbr, and am looking forward to reading it, but am going to wait for a quiet few weeks. No no, I read about a hundred pages last night, the rest I'd already read in previous days. Ah, it's certainly a wonderful read but it's just finding the time to tackle it. I read about two thirds of the way through a couple of years ago and I've been disappointed ever since that I didn't finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Is that by Stephen Fry? Yep, the one and only Very quirky, very normal, and then again very strange And very funny! I'm liking it very much I hope to be going to some secondhand bookshops today, to do a bit of browsing and maybe hopefully a little shopping too!

Devi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Yep, the one and only Very quirky, very normal, and then again very strange And very funny! I'm liking it very much I just checked it out and I think I may have to add it to my list. I keep seeing you mentioning it lately and it's caught my attention. I think I will also add The Count of Monte Cristo too. Edited May 21, 2012 by Devi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I hope to be going to some secondhand bookshops today, to do a bit of browsing and maybe hopefully a little shopping too! Yay! I think I will also add The Count of Monte Cristo too. Great to hear! It's a rollicking good read. Don't be put off by the size! I finished a book today for the first time in ages: Virginia Holman's Rescuing Patty Hearst. Unfortunately my TBR won't decrease though, because I also received PG Wodehouse's Pigs Have Wings in the mail. I'm planning a bit of a book spree tomorrow as well. For other book activity, I'm planning to try and get my various book lists up to date tonight, because I'm woefully behind. I also need to catalogue many of my newer books online and shelve them all.

I read about two thirds of the way through a couple of years ago and I've been disappointed ever since that I didn't finish. Oh thank goodness!! I was thinking I must be a really slow reader I keep meaning to get to that, and also The Three Musketeers, by Dumas. I also have Camille, by Alexandre Dumas Jr, which is a less daunting size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexi Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks to the nice sunshine today I sat in the garden and read another fifty pages of All Hell Let Loose. I can only read a bit at a time because of the large amount of information I'm swallowing! I also started The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side by Agatha Christie to read alongside it.
