[Pushing Daisies]

I enjoyed it, it reminded me of Dr Seuss! and I thought the narrator was great (Jim Dale), despite the subject, it was very quirky and sweet.

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

I finished 'The Well of Lost Plots' by Jasper Fforde, it was really good, I can't wait to read the next installment!

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

I started 'The Color Purple' yesterday and finished today. Now I read 'The Color Purple' years ago and I swear I felt like I was reading a different book, it was a brilliant book and I seemed to identify more with so many aspects of it.

 

[Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones]

I think the book was written in such way, that of course, 'Great Expectations' is a big part of it but you become so involved in the characters plight, which for me is just great writing.

 

Plus the book is a very intense subject but again the way it is written, you don't think about it,

you know it is there and you just keep hoping it all work out.

 

[Dirty Sexy Money]

ValenCina, thank you so much!

 

 

I am not that surprised its Brian but I can't wait to see Brian's face when he finds out because he really hates Nick.

 

 

Thanks again:friends0:

[Dexter]

I started watching it on FX and then I missed some episodes but they are showing the series on ITV1 so I have been catching up there. Its a really good series and Dexter is a wonderful character, I like how much his Dad influenced growing up.

[Dirty Sexy Money]

I watched it on Tuesday (First look) the epsiode where they are in Italy.

 

 

I missed the part with Tripp and Tish, which one of the Darling children are not Tripp's?

 

[What's the last CD you 'bought'?]

Thanks Judy, nice choice too!, Morrissey:D

[Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones]

I have read 'Great Expectations' Karol but I knew who Mis Havisham was, etc. I did not think it made a difference to the book.

 

 

H&D, the part with Mr Watts and Matilda's Mum, I burst into tears and I got worse when Matilda's Mum begged them not to kill her, it was so brutal, I kept hoping that someone would save them, and then when they found Daniel!! oh my goodness!

 

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

Oh totally Janet, just lovely x

[Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones]

I finished 'Mister Pip' about five minutes ago and I thought it was brilliant, beautifully written, just a really strong story.

 

 

I cried at the part with Mr Watts and Matilda's Mum were killled.

 

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

I finished 'Mister Pip' by Lloyd Jones, what an amazing book.

[What's the last CD you 'bought'?]

The best of Siouxie and the banshees:D

[Mr Pip by Lloyd Jones]

I am really enjoying 'Mister Pip' so far, I like the style of writing because its from Matilda's point of view, especially with the things she is witnessing, she is very straight to the point and I like that.

[Andrea's intended reads for 2008]

Happy reading!

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

Finished 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen, it was really good, I enjoyed it a lot and I finished 'Sylvester' by Georgette Heyer which was really good too, I recommend both of them very highly.

[Jane Austen Book Group - Pride and Prejudice]

Thanks everyone, I really enjoyed it, I loved the part with Elizabeth and Mr Darcy's proposal, it was so emotional and I thought Elizabeth was so assertive wasn't she?

 

I actually thought at one point with Lydia, I would gladly throttle her, the way she treated her family.

[Dr Who Series 4]

The first episode was a lot better than I thought it was going to be, I was not that enthused about Catherine Tate being the new Doctor's assistant but hey give the girl a break eh?, she was okay but it is early days fans!

 

 

I thought the adipose were the cutest wee things ever! The part with the Doctor and Donna mouthing to each other was really funny:lol: And the 'amazing' appearance of Rose, I thought she as gone, get gone girl!

 

[Jane Austen Book Group - Pride and Prejudice]

I finished 'Pride and Prejudice ' (finally) and I really enjoyed it, it was so funny in parts and just so different for its time I felt.

 

Whoo hoo I read it!!!

[Books to movies...]

I am looking forward to seeing 'Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell' and 'The Book Thief'.

 

Thanks for the list Kell:D

[Carole Matthews - The Chocolate Lovers' Diet]

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was a lot of fun, a very funny and intelligent book as well. The characters are brilliant, you will want to be a member of the club - believe me!

[Gyre rockin the classics 2008!]

Prospero, cool your boots there, blah, bleh, whatever...

 

ii, I know what you mean about Pride and Prejudice.

[Gyre's Reading Adventure from Jan 2008 - June 2008]

I finished 'The Chocolate Lovers Diet' by Carole Matthews, it was a lot of fun, a really good read.
