  1. More books for 2009. The complete List Dissolution By C.J. Sansom* Body Surfing By Anita Shreve* Eclipse by Stephenie Myers* Breaking dawn by stephenie meyers A Thousand Splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini The Moth Diarys by Rachel Klein The city of Falling Angels by John Benenott Into the wild by Jonn Krakauer (non-fic) A thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini Black Diamonds: The rise and fall of an English dynasty by Katherine Bailiey (non-fic) Inventing the Victorians by Matthew Sweet The angel Maker by Stefan Brijs (really looking forward to this one!) * I've already began these novels, I've found that by using my sony Ereader it has made it possible to read a few books at the same time without getting muddled up. Although it's probably best I put a limit on reading 2 at a time, one a light read and one a heavy read or possibly one fiction and the other non-fiction.
  2. I will use this thread to record and occasionally review the books I read during 2009. Some books I enjoyed during 2008: The history by Donna Tart No time for goodbye by Linwood Barclay His dark Materials by Philip pullman The Mitfords:letters between six sisters by Charlotte Mosley Currently Reading: The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidison BOOKS FOR 2009 Dissolution By C.J. Sansom Body Surfing By Anita Shreve
  3. I've read some of her books and agree that they are fascinating but I wonder how comfortable the families and children portrayed in them feel about their problems/situation being in the public domain and profited from. After all she was their child's teacher therefore a degree of confidentiality would be expected.
  4. KB.Marsh: I agree God is the one preaching but he is used as a Character in the novel therefore Williams is using him in order to preach to the reader.
  5. Hi, I read The Shack this week and was left feeling really disappointed. I enjoyed the beginning of the book and was sucked into the story fairly quickly but once Mack got to the shack it went rapidly down hill from there, its like the author abandoned the story telling and just launched into a cermone.I wouldn't mind so much if during the preaching something was happening narrative wise, but no the story just stoped still! As it a rather short book I struggled on to the end. Its a shame because the author can tell a great story when he's not preaching.
