This Week I are mostly reading (contd)

Just finished reading through the Harry Potter series again (I'm not ashamed to say that I still love it).

Starting Master and Margarita now. Some people seem to love it, others hate it, so I'm intrigued!

Really enjoyed Ulysses. I'd imagine you'll love Catcher in the Rye - it's one of my favourite books.

Currently reading The Famished Road

The COunt of Monte Cristo. It's brilliant, really enjoying it.

Thought I would read some books from Irish authors, I read the charm bracelet by Melissa hill and it was rubish 2 stars, I read the last girl by Jane Casey and that too was rubish 2 stars, I read to close for comfort by niamh o Conner and that was good. 4.5 stars.

I just finished a re read of Eternity by Greg Bear last night myself. Not as strong as Eon but I liked it all the same.

Started on World War Z by Max Brooks, really enjoying it so far.

How did you find that book, I found it a bit too negative.

20% through Fifty Shades of Grey, not amazing but keeping me interested enough to read more

To Kill A Mocking Bird

It's a real shame I have to put it down and go to sleep.

Huzzah! · 21-06-2012 08:40PM

Lionel Asbo - Martin Amis. This could be the make-or-break Amis for me!

MagicMarker · 22-06-2012 08:38AM

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

Good stuff!

I'm going to start reading this tonight.

edit: God dammit, it's only available for pre-order on the kindle! Not released until the 28th! :mad:

edit 2: Nevermind, where there's a will there's a way.

Haven't read much in years but started reading some Michael Connelly and I'm hooked already.

Was thinking of getting an Ereader but not sure which one would be best.
Any reccomendations anyone? Budget would be sub €150

Thanks

I have heard a lot of good things about the book as well but have not had a chance to get it and read it yet.

This week I re read Ken Bruens great debut detective novel The Guards where he introduces his PI character Jack Taylor. Classic Irish wit and dialogue. Great read.
