Writing on his own, James Patterson's books were genuine page turners. There was the occasional pushing of luck with some of the plot twists, but mainly they were great. I do think the books have suffered as a result of his 'collaborations', although I did think that 7th Heaven (Women's Murder Club) was a little better than the last few from that potentially great series. If you read them in publication order, you'll soon find where it all seems to start drifting (I'd say around 2003/4). But until then I think they are great reads! I have quite a few of his titles Sarah 1979, so if you have trouble getting hold of any I may be able to help!

Made perfect sense, and I agree wholeheartedly - but then again, I'm also in an insecure mood so maybe that's why!! ps adore your really beautifully creepy avatar!

Haven't watched it yet - will sit down with OH at the weekend and watch together!

My name is Kathy H. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro I'm having a fantastic re read!

There is also the mythology that the children create and build upon that I find fascinating. The pursuit of creativity and the Gallery, that is later shown to have been the proof of the children's humanity, Later the sightings and pursuit of 'possibles' brings it's own intrigue - is this a fact that they know to be true, or are 'possibles' another myth?

How could I have forgotten Dogma? Brilliant film! I would also have to add to my list Into The Wild - I watched it recently, and I cannot get the film out of my heart. I think it's there to stay.

If I just want to read, without caring what, then it's grab 'n' go. Other times I will have a leaning toward a certain genre or author, so I go with that.

Tonight I'm on my lonesome, so it's a ready meal of chicken tikka masala with rice. Although I enjoy cooking, and I love tons of veg, it is nice to just freezer/oven/plate a meal sometimes!

I'm doing a re read at the moment. It is such a powerful book, so understated, and I am picking up on a number of things that I hadn't been so aware of the first time around.

Hiya Paul!

Hiya Huda!

Hiya Scarlette!

Nah, just love watching girls kick butt! Go River!

Awww Nellie - hope you feel better soon. For comfort I watch Serenity, Firefly series, Fifth Element, Love Actually Back To The Future Trilogy or West Wing. It depends on my ailment and concentration levels.

I saw this being advertised, and I thought it looked good too! I can do scary! *yikes*

Hiya Mr Joey!
