Kylie Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I noticed! I've been watching your progress all year and enjoying your thoughts . Are you reading them in any particular order? Have you skipped ahead to Hogfather (I know it's a Christmassy one) or is it just good timing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have finished The Hogfather now so I thought I would listen to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis while doing my cross stitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I have finished The Hogfather now so I thought I would listen to The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S.

Nightwish Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Finished PS, I Love You last night and I am now reading Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I am now reading Gerald's Game by Stephen King. Oh, let me know what you think of that one, I had to give up on it but have wondered since if I should have stuck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I will let you know what I think of it I'm not that far into it yet so it would be unfair to judge so soon...I have had people tell me it is quite good but this is my first Stephen King book so I'm not too sure what to expect really.

Nollaig Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Oh no, it's your first Stephen King book? It's the only one I've ever given up on! You should try Salem's Lot as well even if you end up not liking Gerald's Game - it's an excellent traditional vampire story set about 40 years ago I think - so very modern compared to the likes of Anne Rice and Bram Stoker's settings!

Mexicola Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I've just finished Charlotte Gray which I found complex, powerful, beautiful and really quite harrowing. I love Faulks' writing style. I'm now going to begin The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I loved 'Charlotte Gray', a really good read. I will be really interested to hear what you think of 'The Reader', Schlink has a very distinct style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
