    Just finished Revolutionary Road. Really liked it. The characters are pretty awful people but I can still relate to them as I've done or acted like them at some point in my life. The way he writes, has a good insight into the crap that goes on behind suburban doors, despite all appearances.

    Now reading Three Girls and their Brother. Can't remember author's name. Seems good so far. Set in the present day in New York, socialite type story. Very easy to read, would be good for anyone who's feeling a bit brain dead & needs something for a long flight.

    Im reading Jane Eyre at the moment and love it.
    It is so clever, and so readable, I dont know why I didnt read it before.
    I have had problems getting through Austen, and thought I would find Bronte difficult but I am really enjoying it. Going to read Wuthering Heights next.:D


    by the way I'm new to this forum, so hi to everyone!:)

    I always said the church economically and socially retarded this country. I might get that book off you some time Duna Boy. Reading it would probably pass me off a bit though.

    Just a heads up to everyone.

    this thread is getting a bit too big, so , on Friday I will lock this thread and sticky it so its still searchable and browseable and create a new thread so it can be continued.

    my main reason for this is because there has been talk recently of "megathreads" having to be removed as they can cause problems with the DB backend of the boards. I've no idea what constitutes a megathread but I would hate to see this one deleted so it better to keep it as it is now and move to a new one rather than risk losing it completely.

    I'll include a redirect to the new thread once this one has been closed.

    LoLth
