Bright Lights, Big City - Jimmy Reid

I`ve never seen Titanic I`ve never seen Star Wars I`ve never been on a rollercoaster (too chicken) (but I have been in a helicopter)(and a hot air balloon)

About time I found somewhere Thank you for your welcome

Just read The Owl Killers by Karen Maitland and see she has written a few more. Anyone else read her ? Any suggestions of which to read next ? Thanks

I`ve downloaded the sequel - Bring Up The Bodies. Has anyone read it ? Is it as good ?

Have just put this on my Kindle wish list. Thanks ian. I like Robert Goddard, but for some reason my 2 book reading friends don`t.

I got a bit bored after I read about 7 or 8 of them so I`m giving him a rest and then I`ll go back and see how I feel about them now.

I`ve read Cold Kill, Hard Landing and Soft Target, which has the same main character and I enjoyed them all, although I wish I had read them in the correct order as parts of the story follow through.

Thoroughly enjoyed Wolf Hall and have downloaded Bring Up The Bodies.

I live in Cyprus, where new books in English are very expensive and second hand ones are not ones that I would pick myself so being able to download any book onto my Kindle is great. Having said that, call me a Luddite, but if I lived in the UK and had access to the bookshops and the libraries - I wouldn`t have a Kindle. I recently downloaded `Eleanor of Aquitaine` by Alison Weir, who must be one of my favourite authors, and I had to give it up half way through - I just couldn`t get into the book. I will buy a `proper` copy when I visit the UK for Christmas.

Hi, My name is Tracey, I live in Cyprus and I read anything I can get my hands on although my favourite kinds are non-fiction history and some crime, but I really will read almost anything. I`ve recently bought a Kindle - simply because I don`t have access to WH Smith and Waterstones but prefer a real book by a mile. When I visit family in the UK, nearly all of my luggage allowance is taken up with bringing books back with me. There are second hand bookshops here but lots of them aren`t really what I would choose myself so my idea of heaven is going into a proper bookshop and browsing the shelves for hours. I make a list of the books I MUST have and then go and get them - with a huge smile on my face. I have been known to be in the airport desperately forcing another book into my hand luggage from the duty free bookshop !! I`m addicted !! but happy
