vodkafan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hey Johnny if you want to try something different why not have a go at the reading circle book? It is a Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseni (I know I spelt that wrong but I can't be bothered to check). I just started it but some have not got theirs yet. Just a thought.

ethan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Good reviews. I read The Day of the Jackal by Forsyth when it came out long ago. It was his first book I believe, and I found it a terrific read (also a good movie). Then came The Odessa Steps which was a slog (the movie too). Never tried another.

frankie Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Nice to see another Karin Slaughter fan, I think she's one of the best authors in her genre. Have you ever tried Jeffery Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme -series? They are the best If you're up for suggestions that would take you away from your "typical boyish titles", I'd like to suggest Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. An amazing historical novel, with a sort of a crime mystery attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 2. The Afghan by Frederick Forsyth 2/10 The Author seems to be confused as to whether he wants to write a piece of fiction or an account of past real life events. Getting through this book was a total drag for me. I have read other military based fiction novels and been totally engrossed from the first to the last page, not with this one. I wont be reading any more of Mr Forsyth's work My husband also read this in January, and he said much the same. It was his first Forsyth - and his last!

frankie Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Haha yes, ever-growing TBRs are the hazard of joining this forum. There should be a warning when one's registering! Looking forward to reading your thoughts on the Fingersmith and the Deaver novels when you have time to read and finish them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie2008 Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Haha yes, ever-growing TBRs are the hazard of joining this forum. There should be a warning when one's registering! Definitely. I would never have spent so much on books if it wasn't for this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thank you vodkafan I've got Water for elephants on hold for me at the library that i'll pick up this week. I've decided to tackle The Stand again in the meantime and intend to spend most of today reading that, it is huuuge though so once I get my latest from the library I will have it on the sidelines to read, (again) as it usuallly takes me months to get through it as its sooo big.
