What sort of thing do you like? I'm sure there are lots of us able to recommend stuff.
I loved Memoirs of a Geisha, haven't seen the film though. | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:05:40 AM | I'll read just about anything as long as it isnt Sci-fi/fantasy or crime type thingies although I'm not adverse to crime novels.
And I do use the library gg, very useful place! But I do wander round aimlessly with ni idea what I'm looking for. | |

Edit - forgot to mention "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:21:43 AM | Your library open now dancer? I'm impressed.
I like travel books amongst others, Bill Bryson still the master but also like Tim Moores 'Frost on my Moustache' 'Do not pass go' etc. and Stephen Clarkes 'A year in the Merde' and the follow up. | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:40:36 AM | I am currently reading Enemy of God by Bernard Cornwell. One of his best books, great stuff indeed. His historic accuracy and story telling are superb and very enjoyable.
I will then go on to either my next Jeeves and Wooster book by Wodehouse, which is some of the best comedy you can read anywhere; or I shall read Demons and Angels, which seems to be very popular at the moment.
I can't wait for the next Discworld book by Terry Pratchett! They are always brilliant! | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:43:08 AM | Reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and Never Let Me Go by Kazuro Ishiguro, and liking them both in very different ways :)
I also can't wait for the next Pratchett, the man is a pure genius. | |

Me and a bunch of friends decided to do one of those "read x books in a year" things. They all said do 12, one a month. I decided to aim for 100, because I read obscenely quickly. I'm sitting at about 30 just now after going through a spell of reading 1000-odd page trash by Tom Clancy (I was working a lot and needed something to turn my brain off!)
Highlights of the year so far are probably Louis Theroux's "Call of the Wierd", a bunch of followups to people he had on his TV show, and pretty much all of John Connolly's stuff for a spot of slightly supernatural crime type shenanigans.
But at the moment I'm reading Clive Barker's "Weaveworld", and trying to see if I can work out what places in Liverpool he's changed the names of... | |

Posted: 4/9/2006 10:59:56 AM | Know what you mean about Clancy Funkmaster. Debt of Honour was hard work as are most of his others. Did quite like Rainbow Six mind.
I seriously don't get the Pratchett thing, all that Orangutang Librarian stuff and Turtles and suchlike. Still each to their own | |
