chesilbeach Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Finished Mr Lonely by Eric Morecambe today. Rather an odd read, but will elaborate further in my review later.
pipread Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 I'm 75% of my way through Storm of Swords ~George R R Martin, I'm really enjoying this doorstep of a book there's so much going on, plenty of action and some shocks! (I'm glad I'm reading it on my kindle though, it must be a huge book!) I've also downloaded The Snowman & The Leopard ~Jo Nesbo, Snowman will be my next read.
Devi Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm about a third of the way through my book, again. I am at the point where I stopped last time, and it's been a few days since I read it, I am starting to think I may never finish it.

A Storm of Swords was probably my favorite book of the series thus far. Enjoy it
lauraloves Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 I've just brought Notes From A Small Island by Bill Bryson
bree Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Am breezing through The Pickwick Papers - the characters are delightful and seem like the predecessors of those in Wodehouse, and of George and Harris from Three Men In A Boat.
frankie Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 The Sisters Brothers still going slow. I'm hoping to change that during the weekend, Imma gonna read read read!
chesilbeach Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Read a couple more chapters for The Music of the Primes yesterday, so I'm about half way through now. Going to start Hy Brasil by Margaret Elphinstone as well, but it's the last fiction on my TBR now! These two plus a travel book, and I'll be done!

Holy heck, chesil, you are soooo reaching zero TBR in no time So cool Great going!
Devi Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I am pleased to say, I pushed myself through the last of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? and am now going to start Dark World by Zak Bagans. I might have to keep it for during the day though, as it's about his experiences as a ghost adventurer. I have seen a few things that make me believe they exist. I might read another book along with it, I was thinking The Art of Racing in the Rain Edited August 24, 2012 by Devi
karen.d Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 I might read another book along with it, I was thinking The Art of Racing in the Rain I would definitely recommend this book, it's brilliant! As foir me, I've finally given up on 'World Without End' by Ken Follett. I managed over 300 pages, but found that the weak characters and plot made this a chore to read. It didn't help that my copy of 'Catching Fire' by Suzanne Collins arrived on Wednesday and I couldn't help but start reading this. I'm only on chapter 4 of 'Catching Fire', but I'm enjoying it a lot more than 'World Without End'.
lauraloves Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) I got The Chocolate Lovers Diet by Carole Matthews in the post today Edited August 24, 2012 by lauraloves
bobblybear Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 Started The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, and also reading An Idiot Abroad. I have next week off so I'm hoping to get a whole lot of reading done.
wordsgood Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I've got several on the go at the moment. Some are re-reads, others are ones I bought and never got around to until now. Nervous System: Losing my Mind in Literature, but Lars Jensen (memoir) Natual Order Mage and Mage Guard of Hamor, both part of the Recluce series by L.E. Modesitt Jr. (fantasy) The Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenent, by Stephen Donaldson (fantasy). It's a trilogy that picks up the initial story 10 yeas after the first one ended. What's odd is that the author picked this story up again 20 years after his last book in the original series. These ones are a bit darker than the first ones, but so far I'm enjoying them.

Cookie Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I finished the second book in The Chronicles of Chrestomanci and my mojo has disappeared again!!!
chesilbeach Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Just finished The Music of the Primes - last tree book on my original TBR, so just two Kindle books remaining.
bookworm44 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I finished The Paris Wife by Paula McLain and started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. Finished a few books recently: 11.22.63 (Audio) - Stephen King 10/10 Stephen King wrote a book about the day Kennedy was assassinated? I have to go look this up...
Inver Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Mojo on the go slow again..... with One Good Turn ~ Kate Atkinson and An Orkney Murder ~ Alanna Knight ... decided to try Emotional Geology by Linda Gillard instead - now that's grabbed me immediately! Hope you enjoyed it....I might have to reread it again soon.
Timstar Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Stephen King wrote a book about the day Kennedy was assassinated? I have to go look this up... It's fairly new... also amazing, I highly recommend it!
frankie Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I might read another book along with it, I was thinking The Art of Racing in the Rain I would definitely recommend this book, it's brilliant! Here here! Started The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield, and also reading An Idiot Abroad. I have next week off so I'm hoping to get a whole lot of reading done. I hope you enjoy The Thirteenth Tale, I really enjoyed it I've got several on the go at the moment. Some are re-reads, others are ones I bought and never got around to until now. Nervous System: Losing my Mind in Literature, but Lars Jensen (memoir) I've got this on my TBR, how are you liking it so far? I'm thinking it's going to be really great Reading more of The Sisters Brothers today.
chesilbeach Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Started Hy Brasil yesterday. I've actually read half of it about five years for my library reading group, and meant to take it out of the library again to finish it, but never got round to it. I think it was willoyd who reminded me about the author, and decided to download the Kindle version (as it was a large paperback copy at the library and a bit unwieldy). Re-reading from the beginning as I can't remember the detail of what I'd read last time, and four chapters in, and I'm enjoying it all over again.
Weave Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I am trying to read (my mojo has gone) 'Paprika' by Yasutaka Tsutsui
bobblybear Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I hope you enjoy The Thirteenth Tale, I really enjoyed it I'm absolutely loving it so far. What's not to love about a book about books.
