I've just finished reading 'A Dance with Dragons', and I have to say that George RR certainly knows how to draw out a story, at the end of 'A feast for Crows' I really thought that the 5th book would see a conclusion, however we are left waiting. Here's hoping that the 6th book will give us all the conclusion to Mr Martins great tale.

Absolutely, I had to read book called 'The Schopenhaur Cure' by Irvin D Yalom, for one of my units at Uni, my first thought was WHAT a novel to read along with all of my other readings, however my lecturer was correct in getting us to read it, as it was one of the best books that I have read.

So where is your list Chrissy?
Frankie shared a 30 day book challenge that I thoroughly enjoyed doing on my reading list.
I thought I would adapt the concept for film, but instead of answering it over 30 days with a thread each, it would be interesting if we copy and pasted the list and answered the questions in one post each here.
So, here's the list....

02 – A film that you’ve seen more than 3 times
03 – Your favourite film series

26 – A film that changed your opinion about something
27 – The most surprising plot twist or ending

I'm now going to wander off and consider my own answers.

I'm now on to book three in the series 'A Storm of Swords, some of the sexual stuff could easily be left out (there really is no need for most of it, however since I've started the series, I've found that 1)its hard to put down and 2)the sex can easily be ignored as the rest of the story is pretty good

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (22)
I re read this fabulous book for the June reading Circle read. A fascinating and engrossing story that takes the notion of where is safe and turns it in it's head. I thoroughly recommend this book as an excellent starting point for acquainting yourself with our Neil Gaiman.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman (23)
My brother sent me this book ages and ages ago, but my wandering reading mojo meant I had to only read books I was drawn to in the moment. He told me how much I would love it, and he wasn't wrong.
Edited version taken from Wikipedia,
I can only concur with the author Jonathan Carroll in his review of this stunning book when he says, "American Gods is some kind of miracle. Gaiman has managed to tell the tallest of tales in the most heart rending and believable fashion, despite the story's truly mythic scale. It is an important, essential book."
Ain't my big brother the best present buyer?
And Big Bro now recommends that little sis reads Life - Keith Richards
True Blood
