Steeeeve Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ahh that's good to hear. I should really try to read one soon. Sounds like his stories are quite meaty which I enjoy...as long as I can concentrate enough to remember and understand everything that's happening.

tunn300 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Just read the last 100 pages of The Best a Man Can Get by John O'farrell. A good light hearted read with plenty of moments that made me chuckle. Unsure of what book to start later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuggleMagic Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I've finished reading The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens and have started to read Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.

Peacefield Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Excllent haul, Chesil, wow! Looks like some great titles . My weekend's turned busier than I planned, so my reading has suffered for it. I think I got in 2 pages last night before I fell asleep . Hopefully I'll get more read though this afternoon when I get home. Oh, but I did stop in Borders yesterday and picked up 'Family Tree' magazine. Does that count as activity?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susie Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I just finished Still Life, by Joy Fielding. It was very interesting. A young woman just waking up after being in coma for two months. She can hear, but otherwise cant move or talk. I may try to read a few more chapters of Wolf Hall. This has been a very challenging book for me.

Nollaig Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've read another 112 pages of The Art Of Racing In The Rain - only 60 to go. It's not at ALL what I expected but quite enjoyable none the less. Should get it finished today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yesterday I read about 50 pages of that astronomy/astrophysics book I mentioned earlier, got the title now "Black holes and warped spacetime" by William J. Kaufman. The book's actually older than I am, which I didn't know when I got it from the library, but from what I have read they weren't wrong with their theories then, not bad actually, there are some things that they know are other now, and they sure didn't have Hubble back then so the pictures that are in there are fuzzy and black and white hee hee. But it's interesting reading, and easier than I thought, though by no means am I saying I understand it all. Still, love it. When I've come back from university this afternoon I plan to read more.

Kylie Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I read the stainless steel rat years ago, did you enjoy it? Yes, I did enjoy it. It's a bit of an amusing sci-fi read; nothing too heavy. I've read a few chapters of The Crimson Petal and the White. It's off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
