  1. I loved that too! No one else seems to have heard of it :-(Also.... Dead Like Me American Gothic Studio 60.... West Wing Newsroom Northern Exposure Not sounding very british am I? How about: Hamish Macbeth Chandler & Co
  2. I don't like McEwan either - miserabilist!I'm after a character in one of my fave films - Marion from Raiders of the Lost Ark!
  3. Notes from an Exhibition by Patrick Gale A wonderful book - flits back & forth through time, different chapters from the perspective of the different family members of a renowned but mentally unstable artist... possibly sounds a bit grim, but I found it strangely uplifting
  4. Totally agree. I thought my problem with Wuthering Heights was that I read it in my cynical 30s, rather than as a romantic/hormonal teenager... Can I put Atonement out there? McEwan - Miserable!
  5. Long time no speak! Thanks for birthday greetings!

  6. Ah Anika how I wish as was as strong as you! I've had a couple of particularly unpleasant or annoying reading experiences, yet I've felt compelled to complete them - why, why, why when as you said there are so many better books out there?
  7. I've still got some that I should have read when I did my degree back in (ahem) 1994 that I still haven't finished/got around to opening! (Hello Dante!) They look great on the shelf though!
  8. So, saw this list in the Times today: http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/books/book_reviews/article6914181.ece embarrassed that I have only read a handful! But what do you think should have been in there?
  9. Lucky you! I've just finished Tattoo, and need to get my grubby mitts on Fire. Hope there's more Lisbeth, less Mikael! (Sorry I found all the financial/Wennerstrom stuff a bit dull!)
  10. Last thing I saw was Up in 3D (it was my birthday treat!) Hubby & I loved it- kids got so scared they threw away the 3d glasses!
  11. That sucks - what is wrong with the American networks???? Don't they understand that people want interesting, challenging drama? Firefly & Serenity anyone? Whedon rules!
  12. I tend to go straight to the next one that's waiting, but I do usually have 2 or 3 on the go at the same time.... usually lying around in different rooms, so I'll pick up whatever's nearest
