Janet Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Hi DayDream. Some interesting books in your list. luckily i'm quite nuerotic and keep a list of the books i've read anyway, so can recall all the way back to the beggining of the year Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham I read this earlier this year and thought it was really good! Did you enjoy it? Quote
Kylie Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 A lot of varied books there. We seem to have pretty similar tastes in reading. What did you think of The Scarlet Pimpernel? I have that on my TBR pile. Quote
DayDream Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Hi DayDream. Some interesting books in your list. I read this earlier this year and thought it was really good! Did you enjoy it? I quite liked it, not at all what i expected. I liked the fact that none of the characters were 'over the top' A lot of varied books there. We seem to have pretty similar tastes in reading. What did you think of The Scarlet Pimpernel? I have that on my TBR pile. I love it, i try to read it at least once a year. It's got everything in it. It also helps that i'm a completely hopeless romantic and the relationship between Sir Percy and Marguerite leaves me sighing like a simp on several occassions. Quote
Raven Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Triffids is very good, have you read any other Wyndham novels? Quote
Rawr Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 What did you think of IT by Stephen King? It's one of my favourite books ever, i could re-read it constantly Quote
Kylie Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I love it, i try to read it at least once a year. It's got everything in it. It also helps that i'm a completely hopeless romantic and the relationship between Sir Percy and Marguerite leaves me sighing like a simp on several occassions. Excellent, thanks! That's just what I was hoping to hear. I knew it was an adventure-type story, but didn't know about the romance angle as well. Sounds right up my alley, then! Quote
