Brian. Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I signed upto the forum a little while ago but only just decided that its about time I made a post or two. For years I stuck to reading non-fiction books but towards the end of last year started reading fiction and some or the classics for a change. Cant say I really have a favourite book. Currently enjoying 'The Wire' on DVD and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in book form. Any questions ask away. Quote
Peacefield Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Ahoy and welcome to BCF, Brian! Glad you decided to start posting . What kind of fiction do you find yourself reading? Quote
Ooshie Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 I enjoyed Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, too, and I'm currently waiting impatiently for the third book to come out in paperback. Quote
Mexicola Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Hi, Brian! I saw the first series of The Wire but as of yet have not got around to watching the second, which series are you currently watching? Quote
chrysalis_stage Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Welcome to the forum, Brian! Happy reading! Quote
Brian. Posted April 2, 2010 Author Posted April 2, 2010 Thanks for the warm welcomes. Peacefield - Ive been bouncing about in regards to fiction. I read Fatherland by Robert Harris and enjoyed it immensly, then The Reader by Bernhard Schlink. Read Animal Farm, Brave New World and a few other modern classics which to my surprise I also enjoyed. The only book I felt let down by was Veronika Decides to Die, I guess its just not my thing. Mexicola - Im about halfway through series 2, its not quite upto the standard of the first series imo but im still enjoying it. Ooshie - I think the 3rd book in the series came out on 1st April. At least thats what I recall seeing on the Amazon website. Quote

I loved Animal Farm, and have The Reader on my TBR shelf which I'm looking forward to reading . Quote

Just had a look - you're right, and I can get it for half price, too! Thanks I threw Veronika Decides to Die out after reading it on the grounds it was too depressing even to give away. Quote
Lexie Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Welcome Brian! Never felt like reading Paulo Coelho, even if he is brazilian.. The Reader is awesome. Read it last year (as far as I can remenber) in one of my fights back to England. Quote
corina Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Welcome Brian. I have decided to get with the program and read "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" as well. This forum has been great. I would never have discovered Haruki Murakami Quote
frankie Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Welcome to the forum Brian! We seem to be reading the same novel at the moment, I hope you are enjoying it Quote
