martymcfly3004 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Funny you should mention that, im going to pick up a copy from HMV this weekend. Never seen the film before as I always wanted to read the book first but never got round to it. Ive heard mixed reviews about it but im looking forward to it. Yay! Do you plan on seeing the movie (if you haven't already)?
Weave Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I just finished 'The Wind Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami and I don't know what I am reading next
martymcfly3004 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Did you enjoy it? Bought this a week ago but my OH is reading it first. I just finished 'The Wind Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami and I don't know what I am reading next
SueK Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I'm still enjoying reading Rebecca. Should have finished it by now but I'm sooooo tired. Since my car hasn't been well, I've been getting up at stupid o'clock to get the bus and I can't string two reading words together BUT I want to try to finish it at the weekend. I want to make a start on The Heretic's Daughter by early next week.

Kate Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I've been listening to Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent - it is very funny
Stephanie2008 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I have lost my reading mojo over the past couple of days having been bogged down with uni reading so decided I'm going to finish Dear Fatty by Dawn French today
northernnutter Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Finished, "Pride and Predjudice and Zombies" today. Mmmmmm...... Review on my reading list.
green Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Finished A Blind Eye by G.M.Ford,and starting Dissolution by C.J Sansom later.
martymcfly3004 Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Nearly finished the outsider. Its left me a bit cold so far, im not all that interested in the character, will probably finish it on the commute home though. I have just ordered 'metamorphosis' by Kafka so im looking forward to moving onto that book already.
lexiepiper Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I finished Twilight last night and read 200 pages of New Moon before I went to sleep, probably will finish it tonight
Dimitra Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I finally really started The Catcher In The Rye. I read three chapters, it looks very promising.
Amika Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I'm starting Kim Harrison's Dead Witch Walking. *crossing fingers that it turns into a favorite series*
rach.at.the.disco Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Read some more of Wedding Season - Katie Fforde today. Went shopping and treated myself to: Old School Ties - Kate Harrison Just The Three Of Us - Clare Dowling Fairytale Of New York - Miranda Dickinson Last Christmas - Julia Williams
catwoman Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I was going to start reading Blood Blother by Jack Kerley as I had this book and three others that are due back on the 21st. But I have been abe to re-new this book but I can't re- new Kelley Armstrong's Bitten so I have decided to read this first. I hope this is good as my last Sookie Stackhouse novel has really put me of this genre at the moment.
BookJumper Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 I haven't read anything since I finished Biblioholism due to an impending deadline which I met (barely) at 8pm today; I've earned the time to read now but I'm still trying to decide what...
chesilbeach Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Finished Getting Mad, Getting Even by Annie Sanders. Hugely enjoyable and entertaining - I'm so pleased as they are my favourite chick-lit authors (it's two women writing together under a single name), and I always worry that I have such high hopes each time a new book comes out and the it won't deliver. Nothing to worry about with this one though, it was a cracker! Bought the latest Alex Rider book this morning, Crocodile Tears by Anthony Horowitz, so will be immersing myself in the world of the teenage spy this weekend!

I have been meaning to get a Alex Rider book, are they really good? I value your opinion. Thanks
chesilbeach Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I have been meaning to get a Alex Rider book, are they really good? I value your opinion. Thanks Well, put it this way, after reading the first one, I went to the bookshop and bought the next five books and read them all over a single long weekend! I'm not exactly the demographic they're aimed at but I think they're exciting, thrilling stories, so fast paced they whizz by in no time at all, and brilliantly entertaining.

Well then I most definately get them. I know what you mean about not being in the right Demographic I was the same when I read the first four Maximum Rides. If something keeps you emersed and entertained, I can't see it as a bad thing and thats what makes some books brilliant when they can appeal to a universal range of readers. Thanks!

I have only read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and I recommend it. It does take a while getting into but once you do, god damn it is amazing. So is the second one in the series!
Stephanie2008 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 I don't know what to read next. I might give Peter Kay's autobiography another read
beautifuldisaster7 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 So I literally just finished the Time Traveler's Wife and I thought it was a work of art...I cried like a baby and I couldn't put it down lol Is the movie anywhere near as good? I don't want to ruin my imagined version of the book by watching something completely uninspired... Any thoughts?? Thanks
