I'm going to have to go back to the start of my Lincoln Rhymes series. I only recently read 'The Broken Window', but you Deaverettes keep talking about the books and making me want to revisit! Darn it! My TBR pile is huge, but I may not be able to resist LR re reads. *note to self, STOP going into the Lincoln Rhyme thread*

Grapes Of Wrath - John Steinbeck

I have read this, and your description is spot on. It is an enthralling read. It was a book circle read a couple of months ago, you should be able to find the thread through the search function if you're interested. It does stay with you. The sheer ordinariness of it makes it stay with you. Mr. Ishiguro is the king of understatement combined with undercurrent.

Naturally, and he will be carrying a bundle of books, a blanket and a torch so the two of you can nestle with a good read and some choccies! Enjoy!

A helicopter is on it's way. You'll know it's the right one as he will be carrying Milk Tray as he leaps from the chopper!

Hello Suzanna!

Pork escalopes served with mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and leeks.

I recently bought three copies of all Spaced! one for me, one for my son, and one for my brother. A deeply brilliant series!

Hello Sadya!

Hello bubbleprincess! Welcome to the forum! Looks like a well rounded list so far- have you enjoyed all of them? Believe me when I say you will not need to ask for too many recommendations - just reading the threads will make your To Be Read pile increase in a matter of days! You've got a good variety in your list, any favourite genres?

The list looks great, I would be happy to read any of the titles. I've read Kate Thompson's Switchers trilogy and like her style, so I would be interested in 'Creature Of The Night', and 'The Knife Of Never Letting Go' looks intriguing. I may have a surf and see if anywhere is offering special deals for these books. Damn, my TBR pile is too big as it is!

Hello RCee!

Maybe if you read to the exclusion of all other things on a full time basis then you may have a problem, and truly should go get a life. I think however, that most book lovers have a good life in many respects, and that their reading forms a part of that. I will on occasion delay something to carry on reading a captivating book, but I don't delay life and living.

People being really hateful toward you, then behaving as if they haven't when they next want something from you.

With regard to And remember that JKR has a big say in how her books are adapted, so it will have been approved by her at some stage.

I finished reading 'Emotional Geology' this afternoon, having started it last night. This is the kind of book that resonates with anyone who has ever felt emotional hurt of any kind, whether the hurt is from outside or inside of ourselves. It's a powerful story of loss, of sought redemption, and the slow reclaiming of a life in tatters. It is a lesson in being true to yourself and being honest in all your dealings with others, sometimes to the detriment of all concerned. In 'Emotional Geology' you cannot separate the text from the landscape as they are so exquisitely entwined. There is no clear definition between the raw emotion and the elements that have given the landscape texture and desolate beauty. (Sorley Maclean quoted in 'Emotional Geology') Beautifully used.

Hello Natty!

I assumed it was morse code - I didn't check it to make sure though.

Hunters Chicken (chicken breast spread with barbeque sauce, wrapped in a slice of bacon and topped with a slice of strong cheese) with baby new potatoes and sundry veg.

I think the books can offer more flavour to Hannibal, greater nuance is felt from the written word. I especially enjoyed 'Hannibal', beacuse although it is a brutal and graphically violent book, it also enters Lecter's head.

How many people had to learn this particular poem? That takes me back about 25 + years to when I had to learn it in school!
