nowhere_girl Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Already Read - Northanger Abbey: Jane Austen - The Magic Toyshop: Angela Carter - Love on the Dole: Walter Greenwood - Trumpet: Jackie Kay - Daddy's Little Girl: Julia Latchem-Smith - The Fox: D.

Lawrence - To Kill a Mockingbird: Harper Lee - The Child in Time: Ian McEwan - A Little Love Song: Michelle Magorian - Extreme: Sharon Osbourne - The Lovely Bones: Alice Sebold - A Walk to Remember: Nicholas Sparks - The Notebook: Nicholas Sparks - The Wedding: Nicholas Sparks I refuse to mark books or review them critically in any way until I've written & published my own. To criticise someone for doing something you've never done doesn't seem right to me. Every book has been published with the opportunity to change someone's life for the better & I believe every book does just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 There's a great variety of books in your lists. 'Catcher In The Rye' is one of those books I have always been wary of reading - it is supposed to be so monumental and I fear I nmay be disappointed. One day I will try it.

Nollaig Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Meaning and deep? Well, I loved The End Of Mr. Y. It's all philosophy, quantum physics and emotions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhere_girl Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Meaning and deep? Well, I loved The End Of Mr. Y. It's all philosophy, quantum physics and emotions. Oooo I love philosophical books. Ian McEwan's The Child In Time had some quantum physics stuff in it. Like time & space. I loved that so I might give that a read one day. Thanks for the suggestion.

Nollaig Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Mr. Y does space, time and thought I don't know anything about Ian McEwan, but I like the sound of The Child In Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhere_girl Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 He wrote Atonement as well that's now a film with Keira Knightley & James McAvoy. I read The Child in Time before the film Atonement came out. He is a brilliant writer. There's always a sense of mystery & a twist towards the end, so you come to expect it, but it's never ever what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
