    They are fantastic, if you like them you will like 'divergent'. i read the hunger games trilogy in 1 day, in less than 17 hours i found it unputdownable. I have read the trilogy 4 times since i got them a month ago.

    About a boy - Nick Hornby. A pretty easy, feel-good read.

    Really good fantasy series in the farseer trilogy. Currently on the 2nd one.

    Possibly my favourite set of books, check out the sequel series about The Fool.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East - Robert Fisk

    This will take me forever to get through, but after reading the preface I'm really looking forward to it.

    Currently rereading 'Chickenhawk' by Robert Mason. It's his account as a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam war, a great read.

    Just finished Tokyo by Mo Hayder. Was alright. A bit bizarre towards the end.


    Just started The Chamber by John Grisham.

    Kinda raided my Granny's bookshelf. She's into all these crime novels.

    Brushing up on the bible because of the time of year.

    But when I am not revering the lord I am reading "the person and the situation" a book about sociology. It started off interesting, but now its a pain in the arse. Its to academic, it not really written for the likes of thicks like me. I have 50 pages to go and I can't wait to finish it.

    Its a stupid quirk about me, if I start a book I have to finish it, its a weird attitude, I really don't understand that neurosis in me.

    I was allowed to give up Irish as a subject in secondary school and Chickenhawk along with most of the Sven Hassel war books and Salem's Lot and The Stand were some of the books I read during my Irish classes when all the rest were studying some God-awful crap by Peig Sayers.

    I bought a Kindle about two weeks ago and the first thing I read on it was a short story by H.P Lovecraft called The Festival which rather appropriately is set during "Yuletide". Currently I'm reading Under The Dome by Stephen King.

    How did you manage to get out of Irish? Off topic, I know, but curious to know how you pulled that off.
    The Stand is a favorite of mine,brings back memories of a young housetypeb lying out in a field on a warm summers day when I thought happiness was a great book and a cigarette-ah to be young again.

    Started reading Mícheál de Barra's An Bóthar go Santiago yesterday morning. I bought it in early 2010, before I walked the Camino de Santiago that summer but only now am I getting around to reading it, largely because I'm going to walk another Camino next summer. It's beautifully written and, having now walked it, I'm agreeing/disagreeing with him as I read it and happily remembering parts of rural Spain I had forgotten.

    The definitive guide to League of Ireland football by author Brian Kennedy. Chronicles the highs and lows of every senior Irish club to ever compete in our domestic league. From the amazing European scalps claimed by our plucky underdogs to some of our biggest clubs facing extinction,this book has it all. Packed with excellent stats and brilliant memories.

    A must for any League of Ireland fan or anyone even curious.

    The Pillars of Creation by Terry Goodkind. Number 6 of the Sword of Truth series. Cannot recommend it enough. (The whole series, this particular book is annoying me) :P
