Kate Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Due to good reviews on here I'm listening to Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. So far so good!
Kylie Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) 33 pages read so far, it's mighty creepy! I was reading it in bed last night and I have to say I was really jumpy about all the normal noises in my apartment. Wow, that creepy only 33 pages in? I better make sure I don't read it at night. Due to good reviews on here I'm listening to Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. So far so good! Excellent! Even though I have a nice secondhand edition, I was looking at a shiny new Wordsworth edition today that also has Three Men on the Bummel, the sequel. I didn't get it, but I'm sure I'll be going back for it. I did buy three other books though: Cory Doctorow: Little Brother (dystopian in nature) Cornelia Funke: Inkheart Margaret McKenzie: Australian Handbook for Writers and Editors I was very pleased because these were the exact three books I had in mind when I went in. I spent a blissful two hours wandering around (I had no idea that the time was passing so quickly!) Edited March 19, 2010 by Kylie

Ooshie Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Finished Wuthering Heights, at last! And have just made a start to Strangers by Anita Brookner.
Lucybird Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Finished Wuthering Heights this morning. Despite not really enjoying it was kind of sad to end it (the same as I felt about Jane Eyre before we had really studied it actually). Review in the works. Started Water for Elephants.
Nollaig Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Finished Vlad: The Last Confession and will be reading the last 20 pages of Wuthering Heights shortly.
whitegold Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Oooh, that's a good one! I hope you enjoy it haha thanks! I heard its a tough read though, the topic matter is hard to get through. I really want to see the movie too, once I read the book. Mom bought me -another- book today! oh the perks of being sick..she knows buying me books will make me happy She got me Up In The Air by Walter Kirn!

cosychair Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Still reading The children's book, should finish it by tonight, I've enjoyed this book more as the story progressed and the children grown.
Nicola Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I'm about halfway through Q & A by Vikas Swarup but travelled to Edinburgh on Thursday without it so had to buy another book to keep me entertained on the journey. I opted for Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book. They're both great books so far but I'm planning on finishing Q & A first
Lucybird Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Am on chapter 10 of Water for Elephants, enjoying it so far.
Johnny Carson Whit Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 I am fully intending to make some serious headway on His Dark Materials this weekend. I have Under the eagle at the side of me yet to be read; and Dead Simple & A faint cold fear have just come in at the Library that I've had on hold for ages ! Fortunately i've bought the other book i'm reading Meditation for dummies and it is just a reference book as opposed to continuing fiction like my others, so can read that as and when
cosychair Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Went into Waterstones bought The preferred text versions of Neverwhere and American gods by Neil Gaiman plus picked up this quarters BooksQuarterly.
Janet Posted March 20, 2010 Author Posted March 20, 2010 I went over to my parent's house yesterday, and my Mum had bought Neil Gaiman's Stardust! I fancied this after reading his The Graveyard Book... and clearly she did too!

poppyshake Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 'Stardust', 'Neverwhere' and 'American Gods' are all brilliant ... Neil is just a fantastic storyteller. Finished 'Brixton Beach' and started 'Arthur & George' by Julian Barnes.
pickle Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Having only managed to find one book in the Libaray that I wanted I popped into Waterstones and bought 4 books. I have Frostbitten - Kelley Armstrong I couldn't wait for it to come out in paperback Wedlock - Wend Moore have been thinking about this for a while now a Long Time Ago and Essentially True - Brigid Pasulka no idea just fancied it:D the Welcoming - Nora Roberts light reading for the bath so bring on the rest of the weekend problem is I am not sure which one to read first
