I bought an old hardback book published in the seventies at a car boot sale for the princely sum of 30p.........It's title reads GROW YOUR OWN Fruit and Vegetables by Lawrence D. Hills! Looking forward to reading it!

[Bibliobeck]

I'm currently reading 'City of Masks' by Daniel Hecht and my car book (kept in the car for quick reads when Hubbie is in Screw Fix, Tool Station...blah blah blah) is Tales of Mystery & Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe. Oh yes...and 60 essays from my students

Best book of the year so far... The Book Thief (good choice Flummery!)

Favourite book...Quincunx by Charles Palliser

My brother gave me The Book Thief on CD for Christmas as I once mentioned I liked listening to "stories" as I was doing the ironing or other tedious tasks. As Flummery says, absolutely fantastic. The only problem was that I listened to the end of it while driving along in the car and must have looked a real sight to other drivers as I went along sobbing, tears streaming down my face

I have just finished "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer - local library teen book club is doing this next and I read it to vet it for my 12-year-old daughter. Couldn't put it down. Brilliant. She started it yesterday and is already 3/4 of the way through. Not my usual stuff, either - teenage vampire love story?!!

Apparently they are making a film of it with the boy who played Cedric Diggory as the hero - not how I pictured him at all, it was definitely written with Johnny Depp in mind! Even my daughter agrees! (Maybe that's just us though, lol!)

So I've got the two sequels out of the library and am working my way through those now!

I am ploughing through three at the moment,

The Celestine Prophacy by James Redfield I'm reading this with a group of friends as a book club. It's a great book that I can relate to as it reflects a lot of the things going on in my life.

Crusade by Robyn Young love anything historical although this is loosely so,

and Jamie at home which I know has had some critasism on here but I like it very much!

[Flummery]

[QUOTE=moggssue;182412]D'you know, I had to look in my bag to check the title, how bad is that!! Anyhoo, its called Just One Look by Harlan Coben - simple reading for work lunchtimes!

QUOTE]

Just read this myself Sue. I was waiting at a hospital clinic with my Ma and bought it from a book stall there for 50p. I rather like Coben's books.

Hey, there's nowt wrong with concrete fixings!

I was just doing some tidying up in the study and found a book I'd forgotten about that LadyWayne bought me some time ago - "Is it just me, or is everything sh*t?". Some highly amusing reading.

[bobleponge]

My daughter bought me that HW last xmas or so. Some very funny bits in it.
I believe there is a second as well, called "Is everything still sh1t" or something along those lines.

[madderbat]

I've indulged myself over the last year and had a 'readfest' of all my old Pratchetts, Eddings, Salvatore and Robert Jordan books (quite a few believe me)
I'm currently re-reading the Wheel of Time series which is 11 books of great fantasy escape - it helps!
Nothing as serious as most of you guys, but it keeps me sane

[shirley]

currently reading Michael Palin. The Python Years diaries

[Mrs Dobby]

Currently reading

'The Sangreal Sodality Series, volume 1 Inner Western Mystery Traditions' by WG Gray, and very good it is too, very thought provoking indeed!

Also reading 'Boudicca, Dreaming the Eagle' by Manda Scott, amazing first part of a fictional quadrilogy of books about Boudicca, very well written, very moving (especially book 2 which had me crying for half an hour) and probably one of my fave series of books, I just hope she picks up the thread left in book 4 (Dreaming the Serpent Spear) for a new series of books set several centuries later!

Just finished 'Sandworms of Dune' by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson, final part of the second Dune trilogy, not as good as I'd hoped, certainly not as good as the original Dune, but not bad.
