pickle Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I finished Tess Gerritssen - Girl Missing yesterday not her best I think but as she wrote it was an early one which had been republished and was bridging the gap between the thriller and the romantic suspense of her earlier days. I am now reading Terry Pratchetts - Unseen Academicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixie Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I just finished reading The Exorcist. I am generally not much of a horror fan, but this book was actually a page turner for me. I will be starting on Emotional Geology by Linda Gillard soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainGirl Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 On Saturday I finished Marley & Me by John Grogan and today I started Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. How was reading it?

Kylie Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I bought Heidi by Johanna Spyri yesterday because I ran out of reading material at work. I've only read a little of it so far. There's an introduction by Eloise McGraw; usually intros gush over how great the book is, but Eloise seems quite happy to point out all the flaws. It made me a little less excited to read it!

Oh don't be put off it was one of my favourite books when I was little, I had a lovely illustrated version and was quite scared of Frau Rottemeier. I decided to finish Unseen Academicals _ Terry Pratchett this morning despite it making me late for work. Don't care though it was worth it.

Echo Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 In the last few days, I've started and finished both MW by Osamu Tezuka and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle. Both were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Now I'm trying to finish Travel as a Political Act by one of my heroes, Rick Steves. My mojo is back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenKingman Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Probably a bit late to the party but....i have just read 100 pages of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo by Larsson. I saw the trilogy on sale recently in my bookshop so i snapped them up and now im starting the first book, so far its very intriguing and i hope they live up to the huge amount of hype around them but i will wait and see.
