Posted: 4/2/2006 9:10:25 AM | | I am reading Innocent Blood by Graham Masterton. It is a book about terorsits who start blowing up the hollywood film studios because the are blasphemers. Later it transpires that it is a group abused young adults who are hitting back at images portaying happiness whilst they were being abused. So far it is good fun if a little dark reading. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 2:17:26 PM | I've got about 12 books on the go. I just keep forgetting where I've put them and it depends what mood I'm in.
For Auschwitz - need to be in a serious mood
For Fingersmith - need to be in the bath
Chick Lit - on the train, and when I'm in light and frothy mood
Constant Gardener - determined - not my kind of book, but I'm gonna get thru it if it kills me.
then there is the text book stuff I need to read for work
I'm sure there are many of us that could impress you with our literary talents Gary. | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 2:27:49 PM | GG...I was impressed with two, but twelve is out there!
I tried reading two books at once, ages ago. One was an Agatha Christie, and the other was a browse through the Oxford dictionary. Bit confusing, but apparently, I recall that the zebra did it! | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 2:40:49 PM | You could look at it like I'm very fickle, or I have a short attention span.
But I'm sticking with Never Let Me Go, till I've finished it. | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 9:51:12 AM | Finished "Never Let Me Go" It was ok.
Might read something light and fluffy before moving on to the Lincoln Lawyer.
Need a break from literary novels. Also need a break from Alvin Hall "you and your money" He's going to sort my finances out for me. I expect he tell me to join the library. | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 9:57:11 AM | Just finished reading Judy Garlands biography, who knew she had such a troubled and turbulant time.
Also loved Memoirs of a Geisha but I'm too scared to see the movie in case it isnt as good.
I need some recommendations for my next reads so hit me with them. | |
