Weave Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I am half way through 'The Dead~Tossed Waves' by Carrie Ryan, I have read so many zombie related books recently, I am fully prepared for any potential zombie attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwoman Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I have read another hundred pages of The Ghost by Robert Harris. I don't know whether my mojo dissapeared on it's own or because the book has made my mojo dissapear. The book is Ok and I strain the words Ok. I am still no clearer what on earth this Conspiracy could be nor at the moment I actauly really don't care. It is not gripping me. All I have found out is that the ex PM has told a couple light Porkies. Don't all politians lie? So all in all I will continue to read the book. Just hope I have the will power to finish it soon. Man I hope it starts to get interesting. *Yawn* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I finished The Vampire's Kiss last night, not sure what to read next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I haven't done any reading yet, but I did clean up my library a lot. I've put some books in bags to take to secondhand stores and put on ebay, and I shelved my recent purchases before realising I left two books out, so now I'll need to go and shuffle all the books along again. Luckily I love doing this. So do I, I'm never happy than when rummaging amongst my books. I'm quite anal about it though, I start doing things like putting matching coloured spines together and all that shenanigans. I don't like shiny writing on spines either .. shiny writing gives me the mean reds! I mean Inkheart and Inkspell were perfect and then came along horribly shiny metallic Inkdeath .. ruined my shelves completely Just started reading Brooklyn by Colm T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheeta Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Wow How great for you Sheeta Well, I only SAW him I think I nearly died when I recognized him, I must have a picture of him... http://i39.tinypic.com/j8z0c6.jpg heeeere it is! I will start The High Crusade by Poul Anderson (that makes me laugh, in French "poule" means "chicken" ) after listening to the 41st symphony of Mozart, I have to learn it by heart for next Friday.

vinay87 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I read A Study in Scarlet today. I haven't had much luck reading Arthur Conan Doyle before but now it's a lot more easier. I guess I've grown with my comprehension skills. I hope tackling Dickens is a lot easier too some day. I'm starting Dracula tonight. I hope to take it real slow.

Chrissy Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I have been trying too hard to get into a book I have to read so I can send it on to my brother. It's not happening, so I have decided to dive in elsewhere with 'The Last Child' by John Hart. It looks just the type of taut chiller that I need to keep my mind engaged.

Jessi Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I read that on my honeymoon, good book I've been reading On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan today.

It's not happening, so I have decided to dive in elsewhere with 'The Last Child' by John Hart. It looks just the type of taut chiller that I need to keep my mind engaged. I read that recently, maybe 10[ish] days ago and loved it. One of the things I really liked about it was that I didn't know the end, till the end. I've been waffling about wondering what to read next for the last two days, couldn't make up my mind. Finally, this morning I settled on Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. I've only read the first 34 pages, but I love her storytelling style. And, it's interesting to hear the story from another perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Butter Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 How's that for a coincidence? I was in the Ashdown Forest area (there's not actually a lot of forest there these days!) on Saturday. Kept an eye out for Winnie, but no luck ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Did you play Pooh Sticks at Pooh Bridge Roland? That is always worth doing. I forgot to note here yesterday that I had bought a few books... AA Drivers Atlas (for OH) Mini Guide of Britain Collection (10 mini guides, each covering a different area of the country) Val McDermid's 'Crack Down' and 'Report For Murder', Jeffrey Deaver's 'Death Of A Blue Movie Star', an Tess Gerritsen's 'Call After Midnight'. I have not read any Tess Gerritsen, so I am looking forward to finding out what her writing is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I got a book in the mail today: The Ants Are My Friends by Martin Toseland. He's the author of my recent hilarious read A Steroid Hit the Earth. I can't wait to read this one, which is full of 'misheard lyrics and other linguistic gaffes'. ('The Ants Are My Friends' is a misheard lyric from Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind'. ) I've made a good start on The House on Pooh Corner and I already adore it. Roland, that's very cool! I have a friend, also in Australia, who made a special (side-)trip to go there because of Winnie the Pooh. I'll have to ask her more about it now that I'm also an adoring fan.

Kate Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Glad you're enjoying Winnie the Pooh! I've read The Ants are my Friends too - very funny! I'm listening to The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett at the moment. I reckon I have about 1 hour and 15 mins left so should get it done today. I've downloaded The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain to listen to next. I also bought some books on Amazon yesterday: The Wind in the Willows The Enchanted Castle The Railway Children - all Wordsworth Children Classics - I feel a new collection starting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
