  7. I am terrible with the library at the moment i am getting out loads of books but i do not seem to be reading them all. I suppose it is like buying books you kind of keep coming back to them before you read them.

If you like buddhist books then look here at amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/search-handle-url?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books-uk&field-author=Geshe%20Kelsang%20Gyatso I have read some of these books by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso and attended some classes about his teachings with a buddhist monk and they are really interesting some of his books have mantras and meditations
  18. Me too, it changed the way i think and handle challenges i have read some good Buddhist books too Wuthering Heights changed one of my friends lives, it made her realise she was not happy in her marriage and leave her marriage and embark on finding a passionate love!!!!
  19. They are just the normal trashy quick read type books, good for not having to think alot but i think it takes a while for the characters to develop.
  20. Coraline - Neil Gaiman Synopsis Despite being mostly known for his fantastical graphic novels and adult fiction, Neil Gaiman's first book for children is everything that you would expect from such a massive imagination as his. It's special and wonderful and very weird indeed. Described by some as the new Alice in Wonderland, Coraline is actually more bizarre than that, much more frightening and its modest length definitely adds to the book's undiluted potency. Shortly after moving into an old house with strange tenants above and below, Coraline discovers a big, carved, brown wooden door at the far corner of the drawing room. And it is locked. Curiosity runs riot in Coraline's mind and she unlocks the door to see what lies behind it. Disappointingly, it opens onto a brick wall. Days later, after exploring the rest of the house and garden, Coraline returns to the same mysterious door and opens it again. This time, however, there is a dark hallway in front of her. Stepping inside, the place beyond has an eerie familiarity about it. The carpet and wallpaper are the same as in her flat. The picture hanging on the wall is the same. Almost. Strangest of all, her mum and dad are there too. Only they have buttons for eyes and seem more possessive than normal. It's a twisted version of her world that is familiar, and yet sinister. And matters get even more surreal for Coraline when her "other" parents seem reluctant to let her leave. I really enjoyed this book and it is a fantastically wierd and quich read about 160 pages. A good wierd modern fairy tale and quite big print which was handy for me being half asleep in the morning.
  21. I love anything to do with Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I. Which books do people recommend about them. I have read: The other Boleyn girl The Boleyn Inheritance The Queen of Subtleties - Suzannah Dunn The secret Diary of Annne Boleyn That is all i can remember off the top of my head
  22. For a few Demons More - Kim Harrison Synopsis The fifth and latest instalment of the urban fantasy-thriller series starring Rachel Morgan. A pacey and addictive novel of sexy bounty-hunting witches, cunning demons and menacing vampires. Bargaining with demons has left Rachel Morgan in constant danger of losing her soul. As if being famous in the underworld - for all the wrong reasons - and sharing her home with a vampire and her jealous girlfriend didn't make her vulnerable enough, one night Rachel finds demons ransacking her home with no fear of sanctified ground. They are searching for something they believe Rachel to possess - a danger that Rachel thought was well hidden and secret. But when the human morgue starts to fill up with partially-turned lupine women who have been brutally murdered, Rachel realises that someone else knows the Focus still exists and that she may have been betrayed. Fifth book in the series. A really good fast paced read. They are not the best books in the world but thoroughly enjoyable.
