libri vermis Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Yeah I know! That's what's so great about The Book Of Lost Things! It takes warped fairytales to a whole new level of grotesque! I've always been fond of the more adult original versions Now I am really interested. Going to read now!
Nollaig Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 You're not well?? So sorry I missed this hun, hope you feel better soon! It's okay, just means I can't sleep (nothing new there) and that I sound like a man (novelty just in time to scare small children at Halloween.) Thanks though! I'm thinking of starting a second book alongside The Dante Club.... but I'm not sure what.
DanC_84 Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I have 50 pages left of 'The Girl Who Played with Fire'. It was tough not to go through and finish it last night but I have a big day at work today so I had to hold back.
Vanwa Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Rereading Northern Lights, again. It's a bi-annual thing, and I thought I'd go through the trilogy again while I wait for my latest Amazon spree to arrive
libri vermis Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 A couple chapters into The Book of Lost Things and I am already loving it.
Nollaig Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 A couple chapters into The Book of Lost Things and I am already loving it. I read the entire thing in one sitting
libri vermis Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 I read the entire thing in one sitting I wish I could, but I have a bit of a headache, and if I read too much, it will only get worse. I was just thinking, this is actually a great book to read for Halloween.
Nollaig Posted October 29, 2009 Posted October 29, 2009 Yes, it is actually! I must start my Halloween read soon.
Guest ii Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I got The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy by Lawrence Freedman from the library yesterday, after a recommendation of my boss. And no, I don't need to read it, it's for fun.
Weave Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I started reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.
MuggleMagic Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I finished The Night Watch by Sarah Waters last night which is a shame. I keep thinking about the characters. It really is a fantastic book and I have added her others to my reading list I started reading The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein last night but it isn't really drawing me in yet. Perhaps it is because I know what will happen having read and studied the original. Hmmm... will have to give it another go at lunch time.
northernnutter Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 Just starting a rather large reading challenge! Ashok Bankers' "Ramayana" series. There's six books in this series, all over 500 pages long, so it's gonna take a while!! Looking forward to it though! Would be interested to know if anyone else has read this series, and your thoughts!! NN.

Would be interested to know if anyone else has read this series, and your thoughts!! I'd be very interested to know how you get on with this series NN. THe Ramayana is fascinating but I've been put off by the heavy style of some books on the subject. I'm interested in the story, OH being Thai, the Ramayana is as famous in Thailand as it is in India but I have stuggled with understanding all of it. Hopefully the series is quite readable. Thanks.

Judging by the 'blurb' for the series, stating that this is a '21st century retelling for the modern reader' I have high hopes that this will be a 'non-heavy' interpretation of this epic tale between good and evil, and a jolly good read!! We'll see!! NN.
Peacefield Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I finished Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime last night! I'm tired. I didn't know I was going to finish it, but it was a late night for me and of course I couldn't fall asleep. Anyway, I finished and I'll post a wee review later on my thread . Thanks for the recommendations, you guys. I'm SO glad I read it!!
page turner Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I finished The Five Greatest Worriors by Matthew Reilly just in time for his talk about it. 200+ people came tonight to hear him talk about his books. He is totally kickass and so nice. I urge anyone who likes 'on the edge of your seat, hold your breath & take a sick day to read' books to pick up one of his they are awesome

BookJumper Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 48 pages into Koontz's Frankenstein 1: Prodigal Son, and things are starting to get interesting, so much so that I'm striving not to be bothered by an upsetting page which might well have made me abandon a less worthy book.
Dimitra Posted October 30, 2009 Posted October 30, 2009 I finished A Room with a View last night. Now I'm going to start Brighton Rock by Graham Greene.
Kate Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I finished A Room with a View last night. Now I'm going to start Brighton Rock by Graham Greene. I really enjoyed Brighton Rock - hope you do too! As its a library book I think I'll read Elizabeth Noble's The Girl Next Door next
