chaliepud Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Just finished 'Her Fearful Symmetry' by Audrey Niffenegger. Not as good as Time Traveller's Wife, but good ghost story. I'm in the (very small) minority that preferred HFS to TTTW, left me feeling very disturbed, always a great achievement for a book I think. I finished Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden today. I found it to be a superb read, a full review will follow in my book blog thread. Excellent book, I keep meaning to read up more about the woman who was the subject of the book as I understand she has written it from her perspective since?

bobblybear Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Struggling a bit with Pigeon English, but it's only a short book so I shall persevere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggle not Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just completed "Serena" by Ron Rash. It was a good read and I can see why they are making it into a major movie. We will hear more from Rash as his writing is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraloves Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I got The Vanishing Act by Mette Jakobsen in the post and I've downloaded 1227 QI facts from amazon as it was only 20p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsgood Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) NickB, you guessed correct and win the prize. Here's some cookies for you! Sorry, Frankie! Maybe Nick will share with you? I'm having trouble staying focused on any one book right now. (For some silly reason ) But I have read, in no particular order, about half the essays and book reviews in Arguably Essays, by Christopher Hitchens. Was a bit shocked to discover in one I read last night that he seemed to be pro-life as opposed to pro-choice. More than a little odd coming from such a hard core liberal as he was. Oh, still plodding through the Rushdie book. It's actually better than my slow reading might indicate, but again... Does reading about MS count as literature?

SueK Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Still wading through The Cleaner of Chartres by Sally Vickers. It's an OK read. Bit of a mix between Chocolat and Amelie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 While sorting through my non-fiction books I found a book called Brotherhood of Warriors by Aaron Cohen which I realised I hadn't read. I thought i'd give it a shot and i'm already more than half way through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 What did you think of the ending? I found it very disturbing. Yes it was a bit strange....wasn't quite sure how it was going to end, but I almost felt like it finished abruptly. I received in the post today, Bookring via Bookcrossing....'My Dear I wanted to tell you' by Louisa Young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblybear Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I finished Pigeon English. I wasn't as moved by it as I think I was "supposed" to have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I finished Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched The World, it rambled a little too much about the town particularly in the first half of the book but the last third was lovely and I stayed up late last night to finish it! Going to start Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, a copy that I was given by Chrissy over a year ago!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
