Started James Patterson (Alex Cross) series last week. On the second book now "Kiss the Girls"
Not bad at all, has anyone got through the entire 18 books in this series?

We Need To Talk About Kevin - Lionel Shriver. It's hitting a bit close to the bone in parts, I have to say...

Loved that book. Tough to read alright, but I think all potential parents should give it a read!

I hate smart arses too. Why can't they just keep their opinions to themselves. As if anyone cares what they think :rolleyes:

Back to the topic in hand: This week I am mostly reading A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute and am enjoying it immensely. A great start to the New Year.

HANGOVER SQUARE by Patrick Hamilton

I just started The Bridges of Madison County by R.J. Waller tonight.

Smiley's People by John Le Carre. If you liked the film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy then you will love this. He is a brilliant writer-the doyen of the British Spy thriller. We could all be Smiley and that is what makes him so appealing

This week I am mostly reading How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. I'd say this is my 5th time to read it, doing it as part of my thesis this time!
