What's that about? I'm intrigued.

I'm currently reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. A slow start but hopefully I'll enjoy. I'll comment on it on my main reading blog as I go.

Lol - that made me laugh. Seriously - good luck. That's quite a challenge - but I'm sure it will be very rewarding. There'll be some great books in there, as well as some very obscure less interesting ones.

Dolores Claiborne - enjoyable but not his best.

Viva forever - The spice Girls Chiquitita(sp?) - Abba Turn Into - The Yeah Yeah Yeahs We Care a lot - Faith no More and surely lots more I can't think of right now

Meatballs in a spicy sauce with rice and cucumber raita

Mashed potato, made soft and light with grated cheese stirred in. Maybe add a little fish in sauce on the side. Mashed potato with mushy peas and gravy all stirred up to goo (Yum I hear you say ) Soup? Chicken soup with bread and butter broken up and stirred in to soak up all the soup and go really soft. Complan or build up drinks? Probably relatively expensive though - you can get them from the chemist. Cauliflower cheese mushed up with a fork? minced beef with onions and gravy/ or a tomato based sauce? If the onion is chopped fine enough and cooked long enough maybe you wouldn't need to chew. Banana smoothie/milkshake - (banana whizzed up in a blender with milk/yoghurt?) I used to be a terrible sufferer of mouth ulcers and used to live on some of these 'recipes' for weeks at a time.

5 years is the perfect interval before a re-read

It's the reading circle book for May. You should join in if you've read it. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this.

So glad you enjoyed it, it's a great book. I read it last year. Quite intrigued by What Was Lost - it does sound good. (mustn't add to wish list, mustn't!)

Finished Haunted and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was just what I was in the mood for. I'm going to start The Hunchback of Notre Dame tonight.

I haven't read that one but I just finished Haunted. It's my first James Herbert, and I will certainly be reading more. The Secret of Crickley Hall is on my wish list.

Aw that made me laugh. Mine is coats and jackets - I have FAR too many and yet, somehow, never enough

Oh you naughty thing Still looks like you have some great reads there. I really enjoyed High Fidelity - very easy to read and humorous. That's a very eclectic mix of books actually.

Now that IS scary! Thank you

I have this on my bookshelf and I'm really looking forward to it. Seems like a lot of people here did - I loved Carrie. I thought it was very impressive for a first novel. That's also on my bookshelf and I'm really looking forward to it - albeit warily

I'm really enjoying Haunted. I look forward to going to bed just so I can read it. Hopefully it won't take me long to finish

Hi Great introduction. Welcome on board!!

Yup - me too!

I've never read any manga but it's something I've always been intrigued by. OH likes manga and anime. He probably has some graphic novels I could borrow lying around somewhere - once I've got my own TBR under control that is.

Finished The Vampires Seduction last night. It was ok, enjoyable enough for me to want to keep reading but not to want to bother reading any of the others. If you like vampire pulp fiction I would guess that this is up your street. Unfortunately it wasn't really my cuppa tea, although enjoyable in parts. The characters didn't really grab me. So So. Next I started Haunted by James Herbert. I've just realised it took me over a month to read The Vampires Seduction - so hopefully I'm not making a mistake by starting another book before I get stuck into The Hunchback of Notre Dame for Mays reading circle. Best get reading
